Responsible Adult Shopping List

24 Sep

One of my favourite things about blogging is seeing what you lovely people Google to arrive chez les Players de Prince Arthur. And today, one of those things was “responsible adult shopping list.” I suspect that took you here, one of my very first Princely posts, which probably wasn’t that helpful. So I shall try again.

Vegetables are healthy.

“What to buy at the grocery store when you’re a lactose-intolerant peskatarian cooking just for yourself.” Of course, if you can digest lactose and eat land animals, feel free to swap in cow’s milk, chicken breasts and the like.

PROTEIN: eggs, hummus, almond milk, smoked salmon &/or salmon/swordfish/trout filets, cans of chickpeas, tofu (occasionally)

PRODUCE: lettuce (or baby spinach!), tomatoes, bell peppers, button mushrooms, cucumber, onion, avocado, broccoli, baby carrots, nibbley fruit (like grapes or berries) and whole fruit (like apples, pears or bananas)

CARBS: bread, pasta, potato, sweet potato, quinoa

FUN: granola bars (I like Lara Bars and Nature Valley), nuts (almonds, pecans & walnuts are my favourites), chips (Baboushka and I are on a 2-bags-a-month rule)

TO HAVE IN STOCK: tomato sauce &/or pesto, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, tamari soy sauce, salt & pepper, an array of spices

With that, you can create some fabulous easy meals like Spanish omelettes, baked salmon & vegetables, massive salads, quinoa bowls. More on that later. It’s homework time!
