    Your typical grocery list

    What's your typical grocery list like? What items do you pick up often? I dont spend much time in the kitchen and want to see what others are doing.

    Did you do a virtual walk through your supermarket as well to compile this list?


    Vegetables, in summertime mostly for grilling
    Salad, spinach, mushrooms, bananas - all organic if there. Nothing imported further than europe except for the bananas (but those are fair trade)

    pie dough (pre-rolled) for veg and fruit pies
    olive oil
    cocktail olives in various marinades (occasionally)
    fruit bars for cycling
    muesli
    juice
    steak (organic), lamb, chicken legs (organic free range if available. skin on. I do not believe in cholesterol), some fish (only environmentally sensible types)

    spaghetti & various pesto sauces

    occasionally, liver

    eggs - we eat all of them, especially one for breakfast before cycling

    cheese (rarely these days but if, it's got to be smelly, runny, wonderful)
    parmesan for spaghetti

    yoghurt for the muesli
    occasional tub of cream for veg&fruit pies

    occasional cookies (got into peppered oat cakes for cycling) or "bake fresh" breakfast rolls for sunday.

    for biggie sundays, Zopf - a wonderful breakfast bread, white flour, eggs, butter... sinful....



    Wine - we mostly buy by the case from wine dealers, our favorite supermarket chain does not carry alcohol.
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    We just predictably eat the same things. BF doesn't eat veg :-( I buy frozen fish filets and veg and eat that when he's not home. I like either fast, or frozen, leave it or set on timer, ready in an hour, or crock pot. But that list is stuff I alaways buy, and then supplement with whatever else looks good.

    Bulk of shopping basket is fresh fruits and veggies. Wholegrain breads, pasta, rice, tofu, and fish (once in a while) fill the rest. Eggs are a staple. Lots of salads, olives and olive oil. We eat butter, ice cream (haagen dazs) cheese and dark chocolate for fun. For prepared food, canned soups, chili, thai noodle soups and veggie burgers are about it. I love Odwalla bars when I ride.

    What we don't eat--hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, no meat other than fish, no chemicals. If you look at labels, that eliminates a lot of junk (sometimes foods you think are healthy-like commercial brands of peanut butter, cereal and bread). BF is a chef, by the way. I try to avoid the kitchen at all costs.
