So I am prepping for my week to go from carnivore to vegan (check out the start of this journey: The road from carnivore to Veganism). Naturally I had to re-think my grocery list and this took me longer than I would have thought. Traditionally I shop in terms of meals I will be prepping for the week, mainly dinners.
Normally I plan 5 meals with 2 days in there to eat leftovers, which we also use for lunches. So dinners and breakfast will be the meals I am shopping for.
For breakfast I normally eat:
- Eggs
- Yogurt, granola and fruit
- Toast (raisin bread)
Here is a traditional dinner line-up for the week (winter):
- Sheppard’s pie
- Turkey tacos
- Spaghetti and meatballs
- Beef curry
- Chicken pot pie
The grocery list:
The butcher’s shop:
- 1 pound ground beef (for Sheppard’s pie & meatballs)
- ½ pound minced turkey
- 1 pound of stewing beef
- ½ pound of boneless skinless chicken breast
The farmer’s market:
- Peas
- Carrots
- Apples
- Pears
- Celery
- Tomatoes
- Red, yellow, orange & green peppers
- Green Onions
- Sweet potatoes
- White potatoes
- Water chestnuts
The dairy counter:
- Cheddar cheese
- 2% Milk
- Greek Style Yogurt
