No, I do not have 8+ children a la Jon & Kate. (And no, I don’t have the famous hair either) All of this food is for 2 people. So I decided that another eating experiment was in store for me and my fridge. Could I not go to the store for over a week and a half???

I stocked up at Whole Foods last Sunday and the taster got a bunch of veggies from the farmer’s market (sometimes I wish I worked in a HUGE office that had their own farmer’s market…) but anyway, we have a full freezer as well. Should be easy, right?

Note to self: Do NOT send the taster to the meat counter at Whole Foods when trying to follow a budget…It never ends well.


So I’m thinking fresh pesto with pasta, shrimp & bread (freezer), peanut-sauce stir-fry, Amy’s frozen goodnesses, Sunshine burgers, etc.


Confession: I might have to hit the store for lettuce however…I don’t think I can go that long without some greens in my life…


I’ll keep you posted on my progress!


PS. I think we’ll have plenty of condiments as well…

On a good day, this is what my fruit bowl looks like. And I love it when it looks like this – the possibilities are endless and I know I will not run short of fresh fruit and veggies anytime soon. What will I do with all of this? The grape tomatoes will be made into a tomato salad with basil vinaigrette. The bananas? Into Gena’s soft serve that I have been meaning to make forever! The mango’s will be breakfast and snacks and the lemons and garlic will be used in the mussels. Tomatoes and avocado’s are for lunches I take to work and well, the limes? They might just be used in a cocktail, but that can’t be confirmed quite yet. ;)
