Thought I'd share our Trader Joe's haul today. I don't have any actual pictures of anything since Christmas took over my whole kitchen. But I'll give a rundown of all the things we purchased and our meal plan for the week. This is a fairly typical grocery list for us. I wrote the list but my husband actually did the shopping this week. I tend to only write the real staples we need for recipes or important things I don't want to forget and then we kind of fill in the snacky stuff and extra fruit that looks good. I find that I need to be specific about the fruit I want to have around the house when my husband does the shopping or he will pretty much just get what's on the list and nothing more. (I tend to add more fruit when I shop just knowing that we will need it for snack and lunches)
We're a family of five and have two gluten free people in our house. Out total for this week was $142.02 including tax. This was a short week for us since we were just coming out of Christmas. We will probably go to the store again New Years Eve to get food for that since we're not sure what our plans are yet.

Menu Plan for the Week: I felt like I needed something "green" to eat after all the Christmas festivities. I need to get ahold of myself and stop it with the sugar....right after I finish this bag of peppermint kisses......I think I'll do a "What I ate" day tomorrow to help get me on a good track. My husband is really wanting meatloaf and it's my younger son's new favorite food so I figured I'd at least make two out of the five of us really happy and make it.
