Sprouts

It's that time of the week. No.. not that time. Good Gracious.

It's Grocery Shopping time! Food. Food. Food.

This week I decided instead of going to my regular Wal-Mart that I would hit up Sprouts.
For those who don't have a Sprouts in your area it's basically a nice organic farm store.
i.e. A Healthy Quaint Grocery Store

Now I usually go shopping for a weeks worth of food at a time, maybe two if I feel lucky.
My total at Wal-Mart usually ends up at $120+ even with my 10% Employee Discount.

Today however I was happily surprised that my food cost $61.11.
Some might think that's expensive, but not when you're feeding four people.

I only bought food this week that would make me have to try new recipes.

I'm tired of eating the same old thing week after week.

Now I have to make something new and expand my horizons.

Yay for expanding!

It took me about thirty minutes to get everything I wanted or needed into this little basket.

It took about fifteen minutes to decide what type of noodles I could and couldn't eat. That ended when I called up my Medifast Center for help. I know people on the Medifast Instagram feed post pictures of noodles, but I honestly couldn't figure out which ones I needed or were allowed to have. I couldn't find any soy or tofu noodles. Then I asked my Medifast if it was the same to be "Gluten Free" and they said yes.

So what does that mean? Of course I bought four different type of Gluten Free noodles.

I know I know - I'm weird.

My entire purchase. Doesn't it look delicious? My father told me he was proud of me.

He said when I was little I would've never tried any of this, and he was right.
Now I enjoy creating, trying, and eating new and healthy food.
