So let's jump into the grocery haul, what's on my menu for dinners and what you'll be seeing in the final meal prep of 2022. So here is my grocery haul for the week. This week I went ahead and shopped at fries, which is a Kroger store. We did need a whole lot this week. Just a few things for the holidays and then of course for next week's meal prep and dinner. So let me show you what I picked up for the week. First thing are these adorable holiday chips. They are red and green. I'm going to be making the other one of those corn dips that I bought at Sam's Club. It's been at least a month ago. We had them on Halloween. We had it on Halloween and it was really, really good. So I'm going to make a few appetizer things for Troy and I, Christmas Eve day. And then my in-laws are coming over Christmas Eve night with pizza and then we're going to watch Christmas vacation. So I thought we could do some fun appetizers during the day. And these holiday chips, they are adorable. And then Troy also asked for a refill of his Fritos. I can't believe how expensive chips are, just groceries in general. These were $5, which seems like a lot for chips, but he likes to have these with his Dean's French onion dip and again another great appetizer for Christmas. I needed some chicken for my meal prep. This is the Just Bear Chicken Breast Filets. They were pretty pricey too, about $15, but they don't have any antibiotics, which is something I've been really trying to look for in meat, especially with cleaning up my diet in the new year. I also grabbed some ground beef because it was a killer deal. This is a 90-10% and this is a 93-7%. And these were really, really good deals. These are organic grass-fed, grass-finished ground beef. I picked up some macaroni salad for Troy. This was on sale for $3.29. And again, great thing to set out for Christmas Eve. And then eggs. Eggs were $7, a dozen for the really crummy eggs. And these were also $7 a dozen. This is a much better option, a much higher quality egg. And there was a big sign on the cooler that said egg shortage in the U.S., so expect eggs to even get more expensive. But we were almost out, so I grabbed the Happy Egg Organic. And then I did order a spaghetti squash in my Imperfect Foods Hall. I am going to insert my Imperfect Foods Hall here for you so you can see what I also picked up this week from Imperfect Foods. My Imperfect Foods order is here. I've been ordering every two weeks. I just haven't shared a haul on my channel for a while, so I thought that I would show you what I picked up. I grabbed a few things for Christmas. They always have some really great seasonal things, and you can't beat the price of the produce, the meat, and you're preventing food waste. So I love Imperfect Foods. Like I said, we get an order every two weeks. I'll link them down below with free groceries, at least $20 worth of free groceries for you. But this week I decided to pick up some zucchini. We love roasted zucchini, so I'm going to roast up a bunch of vegetables so that I have healthy options on hand. I also grabbed some celery because I have been really liking nut butter and celery. I like it with raisins, you know, like when you were a kid. So I grabbed some more celery. For a fun seasonal thing, I picked up the Tony's Chocoloney. This is their gingerbread bar. So this is milk chocolate gingerbread. It's seasonal. This is literally some of the best chocolate, and they always have it in Imperfect Foods for less expensive than the grocery store. In fact, everything from Imperfect Foods is less expensive and it gets delivered to your doorstep. So we're never mad about that. And then I grabbed some more crackers. I've been loving these simple mills ones, and they have the cracked black pepper, which I love. These are Troy's all-time favorite pickles. He loves these sucker punch ones. So if you haven't tried them and you're a pickle fan, he really loves those. Well, hello, Lola. Hey honey, are you watching? Yeah. I also picked up the spaghetti squash because we love spaghetti squash, and I haven't even made any this season. And some apples. That's another thing I've been really into lately is apples in that butter. It's such a great dessert, and apples are a really, really good source of fiber. Everything that has to stay cool is always in an insulated bag with an ice pack. Everything comes in for steam condition, even in the dead of summer here in Arizona. Picked up some of the unreal coconut chocolates. I love these, and they have nice clean ingredients. They are just like a mounds bar. And then I also got these. I thought that these would be fun to either have as like an appetizer one night or even to have these for the holidays. They are the little pretzel bites. I thought that they'd be fun with like some queso or some cheese sauce. And then I grabbed some spinach because I have really been trying to up my leafy green game because I'm not very good at getting in my leafy green. So I picked up some spinach. Like I said, they always have really, really good deals on meat. They have their ground chicken on sale, so I picked up a pound of that. And I always order the Imperfect Foods brand of cheese just because it's really good quality and it's way cheaper than the grocery store. It's at least a dollar less per bag. And then I got some smashed avocados. So just like those little avocado cups, I've never had this brand Fresh Zilla, but I'm excited about it because I love having these pre made ready to go avocado cups. And lastly, for a special treat, I grabbed some Wagyu burgers. We can barbecue a year round here. And these are some of the best hamburgers like hands down the best. And I thought that we could have these as a special treat one night. So that is everything that I picked up from Imperfect Foods. Don't forget that I will link them down below with free groceries for you. It's a great way to save money on groceries. And everything gets delivered to your doorstep. And then I decided to get some lunch meat. This is the boar's head lunch meat. This is the ham. I think it was some fancy ham. It is the smoke master black forest ham. I just decided I wanted some lunch meat just for quick easy snacks. I like to put a string cheese in here and roll it up for a really high protein healthy snack. And then I only got one cottage cheese because it has a sell by date of the 23rd, which is in a couple days. So I didn't want to overdo the cottage cheese and then have it go bad. So I did pick one up paper plates because we were almost out and I had a coupon. So I grabbed 248 pack. I also had a coupon for free cream cheese. I'm never going to be mad about a free cream cheese. So I did the Philadelphia one third less fat. I also needed a ricotta cheese for my lasagna recipe this next week. Stay tuned after the grocery haul for what's on my menu for dinners and what you'll see in Monday's meal prep. This was the only ricotta cheese option they had. That was pretty much wiped out as well. Troy had asked for some razors. These are just the Kroger twin blade men's razors. I did grab some blueberries. I do have some apples and some raspberries but I get a lot of fruit and these were on sale for 250 which I thought was a really good deal. And then no surprise to anyone. My no sugar added bread and butter chips. I'm obsessed with these. These are so incredibly good and Troy ate most of mine last time so I needed a refill. I grabbed those pretzel bites in my Imperfect Foods haul and I'm going to make some beer cheese. So I grabbed the stadium dip. I like to add some beer to it and it gives a really good flavor and texture and we'll have that as another Christmas Eve appetizer. I needed some more no sugar added barbecue sauce and the sweet and smoky from Baby Raise is my all-time favorite. Can of pineapple chunks. This is for my lunch meal prep and I mentioned in my weigh-in that a lot of my cookies that were in the freezer are gone because my lovely husband's been eating them. So I'm going to make a peppermint kind of sugar cookie and I needed some dark corn syrup for that. That way we have enough cookies for the holidays. I didn't save a whole lot because it's just me Troy and my in-laws but I definitely want to have some cookies over the holidays. Two gallons of one percent milk for Troy. He's been going through more than a gallon a week so I grabbed two and there is also a candy cane shortage. There were literally no candy canes at fries except for these. Now these are some fancy candy canes. I want to say they were like four dollars for the box which is really pricey for candy canes but I need these for that other cookie that I'm making for the holidays plus you guys know peppermint candy canes totally my vibe. I'm actually really excited to try out these fancy ones. This time I decided to grab the chocolate rice cakes for my rice cake and peanut butter. I've really been liking to have I've really been liking this before my workout for a fast acting carbs and protein some fat and I haven't had the chocolate ones in a hot minute and that sounded really good and then lastly besides what's out in the garage which is the case of Coors Light and Diet Coke. I grabbed the private selection Duke for the Dots pretzels. I have been craving pretzels. I don't know why so I grabbed the Zesty Ranch. These I want to say were like five fifty which is a little less than dots. Hopefully they're as good as dots and again a great appetizer for Christmas Eve. So that is everything that I picked up for the week. Let's jump into dinners and what you'll be seeing in Monday's meal prep. So here's what is on my menu for the week. Obviously we have Christmas, Saturday and Sunday. Monday I'm making spaghetti squash lasagna. You guys will see this recipe in Wednesday's what I eat in a day. Tuesday we'll do leftovers. Wednesday I'm making shepherd's pie. Thursday I'm going to make some fish and some veggies and maybe some potatoes. I have some produce I want to use up in my refrigerator and then on Friday we'll do some leftovers as well to finish up everything from earlier in the week. And here's what you'll be seeing in Monday's meal prep. I'm so excited to meal prep for the final time in 2022. I'm going to be making some sugar cookie protein overnight oats. Super excited for that. For lunch I'm doing pineapple barbecue chicken. Also sounds amazing. And then for dessert I mean pecan pie bars absolutely. So stay tuned for Monday's meal prep.
