Monday at the Supermarket
Topic: Grocery List

Time to go to the grocery store, boys and girls, or at least daddies and babies. More specifically, myself and the young daughter. Mom has to study, so the domestic chores sometimes fall to me and our beautiful six month old daughter, as in this case. We were off to the local supermarket, our local HEB Plus. It is, perhaps, one of the best times I have during the week. A little time to have some fun, do some shopping, really take some time to see what's available and what it is that we will be dining on for the upcoming week. Sure, we will probably cheat at some point and grab some take out, but while the daughter and I are at the store, those imperfections aren't in view. My diet is perfect. Until we get to the ice cream aisle, that is. This trip's list was pretty short on food items:

  • 8 Healthy Choice frozen meals - We eat these for lunch during the week. Not as good as home cooked, but pretty good for the time we have to grab something in the middle of the work day.
  • 1 box Central Market Organic Frosted Flakes - This is my breakfast indulgence for the weekends. I love frosted flakes, and used to eat the non-organic kind, but since they started carrying these, I have switched. Organic foods may or may not be better. I'm not a scientist, so I don't know for sure, but I'm willing to err on the side of caution, when possible.
  • 1 Half-Gallon Central Market Organic No-Fat Milk - I keep milk around for my cereal and the occasional glass of chocolate milk. Also, I enjoy a glass of milk mixed with some protein powder, especially on days that I go to the gym.
  • 1 box Boca Meatless Ground Burger - Never tried this before, but the beautiful wife has really wanted to go vegetarian, or mostly vegetarian for a while now, and since I do most of the cooking, I wanted to try out some new things to help her achieve her goals, and it wouldn't hurt me to improve my diet as well. We will see how this product works out. They make it look good on the box.
  • 2 pints Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream - Strawberry Cheesecake for the wife, and Mayan Chocolate for me. Not helpful for the diet, but oh so good.
