This Week's Shopping List

This week's menu goes like this:

Lunch: Pasta salad (fusilli with broccoli, red pepper, carrots & cubed cheddar, dressed in a vinaigrette); Green salad with roasted beets

Dinner:
- Grilled salmon over salad with garlic toast (one night left over from last week)
- Coq Au Vin (totally non-authentic and easy) with roasted brussel sprouts & whole grain egg noodles
- Southeast Asian squash curry over brown rice
- Rice & Beans

Thanksgiving prep: I'm making things ahead and freezing:
- Cranberry Apple Pomegranate Sauce
- Apple Pie
- Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake

The Shopping List goes like this (* indicates non-organic):

garlic
celery
pomegranate
apples (for baking and eating - 6 lbs.)
broccoli* (2/$3)
tomato
onions
cremini mushrooms
brussel sprouts
butternut squash
spinach
red pepper
oranges
pears
bananas
raisins
fusilli
canned diced tomatoes (15 oz.)
cheddar cheese
milk
seltzer* (3/$1)
orange juice* (2/$5)

The bill came to: $77.14. Our CSA's last produce delivery was this past weekend, and although it was small, I do need to factor in the cost of the CSA ($14). So, that brings the grand total for the week to $91.14. The only changes that I made this week while shopping were to forgo the pears (which looked terrible) and replace the spinach with kale, which was considerably cheaper.
