Groceries for the week and a new dish for dinner :)

ALL this is organic and GMO free!! Im SOOO happy! Even the corn chips are GMO free. :) It cost us $65.00 to feed two and half people for a week and some personal care items. All natural soap and apple cider vinegar!

Something new again for dinner. Kale, onion, chicken, tomato with lemon pepper seasoning. Will serve with pasta :) cant wait to pop it in the oven! Butternut squash will be the side dish.

Some tips when grocery shopping. Get milk free of hormones. Free range organic/vegetarian fed chicken eggs. Organic produce. FOR SURE bananas and apples (contain lots of pesticides) Aim for beans, seeds(like hemp or chia), and veggies(fresh or frozen ONLY) for protein vs meat. You don't have to cut it all the way out if you don't want to.. but i limit it to about twice a week. the only meat i will purchase is 100% grass fed beef(very rare i get red meat) chicken, wild caught shrimp. I gets LOTS of fruit and veggies to snack on vs chips, cookies, crackers(or any other processed foods) and that's about it... some things i cook with on a daily basis are onion, garlic, tomato, green veggies, beans and seeds. pretty simple and with lots of different spices you make TONS of variations of super yummy healthy foods!

  2. Roger is too. He has to have his bread and meat. But you could cook all that for him with veggies and just portion control the meat and eat double that size in veggies and fruit! At every meal you need one fist size amount of protein, Two fist sizes of veggies and fruit. And then some type of healthy fat like olive oil, coconut oil or peanut butter.
