A Healthy Haul Of Groceries

Groceries

What’s in a haul?

I’ve been recently asked what my grocery list looks like, and what “healthy groceries” I buy to be able to prepare my meals in advance.

Rather than just list the items, I figured it would be easiest to just show you what I bought in case it might give you any ideas! This is my most recently healthy haul of groceries, which will enable my wife and I to prepare meals over the weekend for all of our breakfasts, lunches, and for some of our dinners for all of this week, plus some to freeze for the future.

Keep in mind that this is shopping for a week or more, for a family of four. We all eat pretty similarly, kids included!

Some of the things that we will be making include oven-baked chicken with tomatoes, meat slop, oven baked eggs, and a very filling, ready in 10 minutes, chicken salad for dinner right after putting all of this away.

The delicious chicken salad

Here is the chicken salad on MyFitnessPal: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/chuckgross?date=2015-04-10
Other ingredients are apple cider vinegar, mixed greens, green peppers, red onions, jalapenos, and some sriracha.

First stop, the grocery store that sells beer. Not everywhere sells beer because I live in Pennsylvania which still has weird prohibition style laws.
