Groceries, Mostly Healthy, Mostly Gluten Free

Here is my weekly grocery shopping. Today I went to Trader Joes to hold me over before the next Costco trip.

Here is the receipt breakdown:

Baked onion rings: 1.99
Plain Bagels: 1.69
GF Bagels: 4.99
GF Oats: 3.99 x 2
Rice Crisps: 1.99
Romaine Hearts: 2.49
Sugar snap peas: 2.49
GF pizza crusts: 1.99 x 2
1 lb GF Pasta: 1.99 x 2
3 lbs apples: 2.99 x 2
Fresh basil: 2.49
2 lbs fat free greek yogurt: 4.99
12oz shredded cheddar cheese: 4.29
6 oz Canadian bacon: 2.49
Cream cheese: 1.69
Eggs, 1 dozen: 1.79

Looking at the receipt I have some thoughts. The basil is expensive for what I am getting and what it adds to my meals. I love fresh pesto but I will have to decide if the cost is worth it. I grabbed the wrong bag of cheese and it cost more than I had planned. Also, the bagels were a treat that we don't normally buy.

Total was $53.31. Not too bad if I can stretch it out over the week.

Baked Chicken, Baked Red Potatoes, and a Mixed Green Salad

Tonight I wanted simple but flavorful. So, I baked some chicken and potatoes and threw some mixed greens out.

Chicken toppings: coarse salt, pepper, dried basil, dried rosemary, a drizzle of honey, mustard powder, garlic powder, grated parmesan cheese.

Baked at 375 for an hour.

Baked Potatoes: cleaned, forked, tossed in olive oil and potato seasoning (I make this with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dill).

Mixed green salad: greens, homemade balsamic dressing (olive oil, balsamic, salt, pepper, garlic powder, brown sugar, dill)

Simple, delicious.
