Shopping List & Menu
You’ll notice that I try to do one big meat a week that will last throughout the week. Some of this is because I don’t like to eat all that much meat; some of this is because I have been super broke in my life and meat is the most expensive thing you purchase at the grocery. Its a learned habit, for sure, and I get that a lot of Americans prefer to eat meat more than twice a week.
I’m not going to try and change your mind, but there are a lot of reasons why one should limit the intake of meat. You do your own research, ya? Until then, we are just going to keep on keepin’ on.

Pan Chicken with potatoes and Artichoke hearts

Despite having 2 meats on the menu, this week is decently light. It will provide a good amount of healthy vegetables and balance it out with a dallop of indulgence, which works for me. You can’t be good all the time. The shopping list is coming in at 70$ for a family of four, although I did choose some organic options so you may be able to find it all cheaper.
