So here is my grocery haul for the week. I shopped at my local Kroger store, which is fries in our area. What you don't see is two eight packs of Gatorade zero and three 12 packs of Diet Coke for Troy. As always, they're in the garage, but let me show you everything else that I grabbed for the week. So I got some tater tots frozen tater tots. This is for a dinner recipe. You guys will actually see the recipe in Wednesdays, what I eat in a day at the end of the grocery haul. Stay tuned. I'm going to go over my plans for dinners for the week as well as what you'll see in Monday's meal prep. I got Troy some more wavy potato chips so that he can have it with his French onion dip. And he also needed cereal. He was completely out of cereal. So he loves the fiber one honey clusters and the Kashi go toasted berry crisp. And then I got him a big also grabbed some sugar cookies. These were in the reduced bakery section for 50% off. So they were like $2, I think. And then quite a bit of cheese. We're almost out of cheese or then about a half a package of shredded cheese. So I grabbed my favorite really thick cut cheese from private selection. This is the age cheddar blend with New York cheddar, Vermont cheddar and Wisconsin cheddar. I also got some shredded sharp cheddar cheese and some reduced fat Mexican blend. And then we were out of cheese slices. So I picked up some sharp cheddar cheese slices. I did get my favorite hash browns. These are the simply potatoes. These are really good. It's literally just potatoes. Nice clean ingredients ready to go in the refrigerator section, not frozen. Love them. I'm having kind of, I guess, like a Felicia combo where I'm doing hash brown, hash browns and egg, bacon and cottage cheese. It's such a good filling breakfast. So I wanted to restock my simply potatoes. I also got Troy some potato salad. This is the loaded potato salad in the deli. This was on sale for 344. So that's a really good deal. So I picked that up for him speaking of deals. This is all they had. They didn't have really any reduced meat. It was all picked over. So they hadn't gotten to it yet today. I was at the grocery store pretty early, but I did grab a pound of the 97% ground chicken for $3 and 18 cents. Amazing deal. I love ground meat. I much prefer ground chicken, ground turkey, ground beef, over steak and chicken breast. So this I will definitely be using in a recipe. I did get some french fried onions. I'm making a casserole for my boot camp Christmas party tonight. It is one of the best casseroles ever. I've actually made it on my channel. So it is on my website. It's a chicken and rice casserole and it is amazing. So you need a french fried onions for that. Also some diced pimentos. I know as weird as that sounds, but they definitely make the casserole. And then I did get one of the good culture cottage cheese. I had a coupon for this and you guys know how much I love cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is part of my little potato breakfast bowl that I make. I also needed a box of long grain, wild rice for that chicken and rice casserole as well as a can of French style green bean. I had a can of chicken broth as well as a can of cream of chicken soup. So I always get the healthy request. I actually picked up two because I need one for that tater top casserole recipe. I did pick up one more thing of frosting. I don't know that I'm going to have enough to make the goodies for tonight. I am making a sour cream peppermint cookie and I'm making cupcakes. Both of them require frosting and I just didn't want to run out. So I picked up one more container and then a can of sliced water chestnuts. These also go in that casserole, that chicken casserole. These add such a good crunch to the recipe. I saw these pizza, cheese pizza inspired cremini mushrooms, these stuff mushrooms. We got some last time, different, different flavor. They're so good to just throw them in the oven and they're such a good side. So we'll have that as a side with dinner tonight. Two gallons of 1% milk for Troy and then I got just the car master plain. I have the car master vanilla and the car master chocolate. But for recipes and things, I use plain milk. So I did pick up the car master plain. And speaking of recipes, I needed the Andes peppermint crunch mints for those sour cream cookies. I couldn't find those. All I could find are these Andes peppermint bark, which are just bigger pieces of the peppermint crunch mints. So I'm going to use these. These were expensive. They were $7. I can't believe how expensive candy is like Christmas candy. It's insane to me, but I needed these for those cookies. And then whatever leftover will go on the platters for Christmas Eve. I also picked up some fae 0% yogurt for a recipe. And then I always like to have Greek yogurt on hand. I did get some potatoes because I'm going to throw a pot roast in the crock pot for this week for a dinner. Super excited about that. And I always just use these baby potatoes. I just throw them in whole. It's super easy. And then I also always use baby carrots instead of having to chop up carrots. These two things staples in a pot roast. I did get three avocados because I had a coupon and you know, I love avocado. I've been eating it literally every single day. I did get two packs of berries, one blackberry, one blueberry for the week. Some asparagus for my lunch meal prep. An apple for my breakfast meal prep. An onion for that chicken casserole. And then green onions as well for the casserole. So that is everything that I picked up for the week. Let's jump into what's for dinner and what you'll see in meal prep. So here's what is on my menu for the week. So tonight is my boot camp Christmas party. Tomorrow I have some frozen ravioli from Trader Joe's. I'm going to make that up for a quick, easy dinner. And then on Monday I'm doing a tater top casserole. This is a little bit different than a traditional tater top casserole. And again, you'll see that recipe in Wednesday's what I eat in a day. Tuesday's leftovers. Wednesday I'm throwing that pot roast in the crock pot. And then Thursday and Friday we always do leftovers as well. And here's what's on the menu for meal prep for the week. So for breakfast I'm going to do an apple cinnamon baked oatmeal. I'm so excited for this. I've been craving baked oatmeal for lunch. I'm going to do teriyaki chicken. I'm going to cook this in my air fryer. So it's going to be just really good chicken veggies. A perfect lunch. And then for dessert I'm making eggnog donuts. I'm also very excited for these. So stay tuned for all three recipes in Monday's meal prep. Thank you for joining me for another weekly grocery haul. I hope you enjoyed seeing everything that I picked up for the week.
