New Food

Before I got my car I was stuck eating food from the convenience store down the street. Yuck. Luckily they carried basic ingredients like flour and sugar, so I could at least bake a little bit. Once in a while I would get to a real grocery store to stock up on other food. This was when things got tricky: I could only purchase what I could carry in two hands and a backpack. I also needed all of those things to last me at least a month. This was my basic list:

• Pasta
• Tortillas
• Tomato paste
• Black beans
• Cheddar cheese
• Mozzarella
• Coconut milk
• Rice
• Kalamata olives
• Fresh fish
• Chicken breast
• Spinach
• Feta Cheese
• Couscous
• Frozen vegetable stir fry

This stops today! Notice the ridiculous amounts of cheese? Notice the lack of fresh veggies and fruit? Today I've decided to write a list for groceries based on brand new recipes that are fresh and healthy for me.
Some recipes that I'd like to try:
Kale Salad
Quinoa Stuffed Acorn Squash
Raw Carrot Avocado Soup
Spinach Chick Pea Curry

The new improved grocery list:

• Pasta
• Tortillas
• Tomato paste
• Black beans
• Cheddar cheese
• Mozzarella
• Coconut milk
• Rice
• Kalamata olives
• Fresh fish
• Chicken breast
• Spinach
• Feta Cheese
• Couscous Quinoa
• Frozen vegetable stir fry
• Kale
• Pine nuts
• Acorn squash
• Bell peppers
• Chickpeas
• Avocado
• Carrots
• Figs
• Mango
• Lemon

I'm hoping I can have fun finding new ways to incorporate fresh foods into my diet. I've been used to doing things one way for almost a year and a half! I'm excited for the change.
