Bountiful

It's grocery shopping day!  We were out of meat, down to 2 eggs, and our usual seasonings for food were running low.  Thankfully, Meijer had some good sales, and we were able to score a ton of food without spending a ton of money.  Paleo isn't always cheap--meat can be pricey, fresh veggies and fruit are hard to get at a good price if they aren't in season, and the price of eggs is going up almost as fast as the price of gas.  But the health benefits I'm reaping from clean eating are totally outweighing (or underweighing...hehe...see what I did there?  Because you lose weight eating Paleo...?  I thought it was funny...) the cost of Paleo.

So what does the fridge look like after a Paleo trip to the store?

2 dozen eggs (plus the 2 eggs we had pre-shopping)
3.25 lbs 90/10 lean ground beef
1 whole roasting chicken
18 lbs chicken breasts
8 Angus beef trimmed steaks
2 heads of lettuce
Bag of carrots
4 green peppers
1 artichoke (trying it for the first time)
2 packages of raspberries

I'm super excited to try a bunch of new recipes I got from Everyday Paleo and Nom Nom Paleo, who are amazing cooks and who really understand the Paleo way.  They are my new cooking inspirations, and I will totally keep you posted about how the cooking goes.  Tonight, though, is a quickie dinner--H and I both got home late after working out, then had to go to the store, so it's brats on the grill and salads.  Still nomtastic :)
