I have a 'generic' list of the things we always need/use. This way, I can set DH to the task of marking off what we already have on hand, so that he's 'helping'.

It's in an excel format so I've made a .gif out of it:


(sorry it's so difficult to read!)

[DrBee]

Mine is very simple.

• Pasta; spaghetti and Angel Hair
• Spaghetti Sauce (lowest sodium)
• Whole Wheat English Muffins
• High Fiber Whole Wheat Bread
• Peanut Butter (Low fat, creamy)
• Spinach
• Tortilla
• Black Beans
• Tomatos
• Green Beans
• Salsa (lowest sodium, which is hard to find)
• Oranges
• Oatmeal

-rice and/or grains
-oatmeal - usually irish/steel mill style
-soy dogs
-fresh fruit in season
-fresh veges in season
-potatoes
-bananas
-meat - tends towards poultry, but i love buffalo burgers
-bread (whole grain, nine grain, the heavier the better!)
-nut butter (usually peanut)
-goat's milk
-something sweet and bad for me
-cheese
-something processed and great for ride food, cookies, or such

Periodically:
-olive oil
-coconut oil (used for cooking, wonderful enhancing flavor for any meat!)
-condiments, salad dressing, marinades, etc
-healthfood store versions of macaroni and cheese
-eggs
-flour (whole wheat, spelt)/cornmeal
-sugar (fructose, or something equally "health concious")
-honey - love raw when i can get it. so do the ants
-rice milk (great for when I need something and there's no goats milk)
-pasta
-alacer electromix
-canned soups, trader joe's stew
-frozen veges
-clif bars or equivalents
-yeast
