Hi, friends! I hope you’re enjoying a fabulous Saturday! 😎
I did our grocery shopping for the week yesterday afternoon since we were pretty much out of food. Mal and I can rarely make it a full week””it’s more like 5 or 6 days””before our fridge is empty. I know I should just buy more food, but we’re kind of picky about our produce and meat. Mal and I both prefer fresh over frozen, so these foods don’t typically last long before they go bad. I bought some bagged frozen veggies yesterday to see how they’ll work in our meals this week. Maybe we’ll be converted!
Here’s this week’s meal plan:
- Saturday: Out to dinner
- Sunday: Cod with Mustardy Swiss Chard and Butternut Squash
- Monday: Engagement Chicken with roasted asparagus and brown rice
- Tuesday: Paleo Pad Thai <— totally obsessed with this recipe
- Wednesday: Italian Hot Plate
- Thursday: Skillet Sweet Potato, Ground Turkey, and Spinach Hash
- Friday: Sushi
Shopping list*:

Recently, I’ve received a ton of questions about our grocery budget and how it’s changed since Mal and I started eating more of a Paleo diet. It’s definitely increased, but we’re trying our best to keep costs down by meal planning and shopping smart. If you have questions about our budget, shopping, meal planning, etc., please leave them in the comment section of this post. I’m planning to write a post later this week that addresses them all. Thanks, guys!
