I spent two hours in the grocery store and came out with $40 worth of groceries. That doesn't include the $9 on goat cheese this morning at the farmers market, or the $5 on a whole local (i think) chicken from Midway Food Market in downtown Katy.
Do you know how hard it is to buy things that fit the rules? I figured it wouldn't be too bad since we almost follow them already. And it really wont be, but it is going to require lots of cooking. I'll have to make my own spaghetti sauce, from canned tomatoes. All pasta sauces have too many ingredients and have added sugar. I wasn't sure we could get enough fresh tomatoes and stay under budget. I might try that next time though.
Whole grain pastas and such aren't always 100% whole grains.
I had to decide between organic from India brown rice and Texan grown brown rice. I went with the Texan.
The husband is going to dislike the no sugar peanut butter that you have to STIR! I'm hoping the crunchy is good. But I figured if he hates the peanut butter, there is no reason why I can't make peanut butter soup with it.
Oh and the best part? I can't seem to find a bread recipe that might work well and the nearest Great Harvest Bread Co. (they make a honey whole wheat with only 5 ingredients) is an hour away. Maybe we should invest in another bread maker.
I have pasta sauce to make, chicken to cook, tortillas to make and possibly bread to bake... Maybe i'll just go take a nap.
