And I’m back. Time to chat about food and prep for the week ahead. Mondays are definitely a day to get organized and think out the week ahead if you haven’t already. Sidenote, I am terrible at making these food post titles sound interesting. Meh.
Anyways, here’s a peak at some highlights of last week’s grub, keeping in mind that I do not photograph everything I eat.
In order from top left to bottom right:
- Salad – greens with tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, and raisins
- Yummy breakfast at Uncommon Grounds – the all veggie scramble with a side fruit cup
- Turkey, barley, and veggie chili
- Chicken artichoke skillet
- Protein cookies
- Friday night pizza from Comella’s
- Balsamic quinoa salad with grilled chicken
I didn’t include our NH food in this recap since that will be its own post!
This week’s meal plan is looking like this:
And the grocery list like this:
We only did some of the grocery shopping and food prep for the week last night since we got in somewhat late, but I’m guessing this week we are going to come in around $85-$90 total. Definitely higher than what we usually spend, but we bought organic chicken, needed a few “stock up” items, and this week’s meals have extra veggies in them.
What was the best meal you ate last week? Looking forward to any upcoming meals this week? How much do you typically spend on your groceries each week?
I hope everyone’s week is off to a great start, and you’ve set some healthy intentions for the week to come!
I love how you keep it simple! My weekly grocery list looks similar 🙂
Thanks!

I usually stick with corn tortillas and get the flour ones for Tyler, but there’s always so much leftover! Last week, I bought the corn/flour blend for pulled pork tacos, and they were my favorite!!!
I will have to try them!

I forget if it was you or Jen who had the recipe for black bean burgers with mango salsa, but we had that last week, and I love it!
I think that was probably Jen… although that sounds delicious to me!

I always admire people who do such thorough planning for meals for the week. And, all of your food looks delicious!
Thanks! It seems like a lot of work and can be at the beginning of the week, but it really saves me so much time throughout the rest!

I have to say that your protein cookies will be on my meal plan for next week! They sound/look amazing! Last weeks meal would be Tequila Lime Chicken, this week would be a toss up between Avocado Turkey Burgers & Slow Cooked Pineapple Chicken. Groceries are about $80 a week for us, unless we need the basics then about $100.
Your meals sounds amazing! Yum!
