What We Eat

Our Grocery List:

{Is often written at least 50% in Spanish, just so I get a little extra practice}

Avocados

Tomatos

Cantalope

Romaine Lettuce or Spinach {Must be organic, per Angel's decree}

Onions--lots

Mandarin Oranges

Nectarines
Baby Bok Choy {My favorite veggie. But it's hard to find around here!}

Bananas

Potatoes {must come in a brown paper bag, because Angel said so}

Berries, if on sale {organic, for the same reason as above} 
Tortilla Chips

Frozen Chicken Breasts

Frozen Wild-Caught Salmon

Canned Solid White Albacore

Whole wheat Spaghetti

Tortillas--corn tortillas for tacos, flour tortillas for quesadillas
Tostadas
Maple Syrup Ham from the deli {I think it tastes really bad, but Angel eats it on his tostadas}
Pinto Beans
Canned Cream of Chicken Soup
Apple Pie {but not from the grocery store, from a local restaurant. Angel typically buys a pie and eats it all by  himself over the course of a week}
 Salted Butter
Canola Oil

Grape Nuts {Currently the  only cereal I will eat. For years previously, it was off-brand Wheat Chex}

2% Milk

Large Eggs

Frozen Vegetables {In 'steamable' packages, Angel eats them for lunches at work}

Yogurt--sometimes Greek, sometimes not.

Whole wheat bagels.
Frozen Hashbrowns {hey, where I'm from, there's no such luxury as already chopped up potatoes so I sure appreciate them now!)

Popcorn kernels for the air-popper

Basmati Rice

Coarse-Ground Black Pepper

M&M cookies from the bakery

*The picture of our fridge above was taken the day after a grocery shopping trip, so that's what it looks like when it's full. Angel and I try to go two weeks or occasionally more between grocery shopping trips, because it's not the most fun thing to do in the world, so more often than not, our fridge looks, "Nice and clean and empty," or at least that's how I describe it. When it's getting close to shopping day, I start planning meals like....popcorn....or, au-gratin potatoes made with yogurt instead of milk because we don't have any milk....or fried rice. Fried rice is an awesome end-of-your rope meal because you can pretty much put anything in it, and we buy our rice in 20 lb. bags so we're never out!

Any other good foods you think we should try? It's always nice to add a little variety, especially with different fruits and veggies. Our selection is fairly limited here--I have to go to different grocery stores even to buy baby bok choy or jicama and guava.
