 Welcome back to my channel and welcome if you're new here. It is Saturday. So it is a grocery haul day Luckily this week I didn't have to get as much as I have the last couple of weeks because We really stocked up the last couple weeks But I did find a couple of new finds that I'm excited to share with you guys I went to both Trader Joe's and Fred Meyer, which is also a Kroger store I'm also going to share this week's meal plan and what I am doing for meal prep So I have lots of fun in store for you So if you want to see what I picked up for groceries this week as well as what's on the schedule for meal plan and meal prep stay tuned So here's my haul from Trader Joe's luckily this week I didn't have to buy a ton because I've done that the last two weeks So I did go to Trader Joe's for produce and a few other staples So let's jump into the Trader Joe's haul. I picked my dogs up some treats Of course, these are the grain free peanut butter and banana They really like these and they have no chicken and no grain so it's perfect for them I also restocked my organic shredded mozzarella cheese again The price for this isn't as bad as I originally thought and I really like this cheese You can have one ounce or a quarter cup for only two points. So not bad and it's really really good and flavorful I did grab another bag of the Trader Joe's dried bean cherries. I need this for a recipe now I count these as zero points because all that's in there is dried cherries So I don't count these as any points. Of course, you can if you would like so here's the nutritional Information, but I just add a little bit of these to a salad or a recipe So basically the same amount of regular cherries that I would eat And I just make sure that I drink some water to kind of rehydrate them And then I've got another thing of the organic feta cheese. I really like this feta I'm planning on making some salads and I needed this also for a recipe Restocked my maple syrup. I was so sad to be out Trader Joe's has one of the best prices for maple syrup. So this is their organic Vermont maple It was $4.99 and then this was the last one I saw on the shelf and this is their organic pure bourbon vanilla extract I grabbed it because this is a limited edition item They usually have a vanilla extract, but it's not organic and this was the same price as the regular So pick that up just gonna throw it in the pantry to have on hand Also a repurchase these were amazing. These are the Trader Joe's organic milk chocolate caramel eggs These are so good you guys. They are so incredibly good. Well worth the points Individually wrapped so you don't overeat them and they are really really delicious. I picked those up Everything else is produce. So I grabbed some organic baby broccoli I needed this for a recipe and then also just some broccoli florets for another recipe It seems like I've been using broccoli a lot, which isn't a bad thing. So I picked that up I grabbed this salad mix for a salad I'm gonna have a salad for lunch tomorrow and this sounded really good this herb salad mix and some of their Lettuce didn't look so hot So this is one of the best ones that was organic. So I grabbed that and then I also picked up some organic cuskin tape Tuscan kale Wow for a recipe and then some red potatoes. These are the ladybug organics I need to potatoes for a couple of recipes and we do like to have those with veggies on a sheet pan Another bag of the teeny tiny avocados. I did eat all of these last week. I've been having an avocado every day I love it so much keeps me nice and full a papaya again. It just sounded really good I seriously can't wait for summer when fruit is in season. I'm kind of tired of the winter fruits the oranges of the world So I'm excited to have some papaya to give me some tropical vibes some organic strawberries They actually look pretty good at Trader Joe's so I grabbed those so I'll do strawberries and papaya for the week And then one lone shallot for a recipe. So let's jump into what I picked up at Fred Meyer And here is what I picked up this week at Fred Meyer So first we're gonna start with our my new find you guys know I love the siete chips, but you can usually only find them in the big bag now I found them in the little individual bags six bags in a bag I want to say this was about eight dollars. So it's a little over a dollar a bag, but these are the best chips They're so good. They had sea salt and they had the lime I went ahead and got the lime, but these are pre-portioned ready to go You guys the ingredients in these are perfection and they're literally absolutely delicious chips I love them with salsa guacamole with the cheese dip the siete queso So I picked those up for me that way they're pre-portioned out ready to go For my husband, I grabbed just a regular chip variety pack I like to show you guys everything I pick up Whether it's for me or not because we all eat different foods on our program So these are just the little 18 bags a variety of individual chips also for him I grabbed the little bites. He likes these party ones for in his lunch These are those little individual bags of the muffins and then I decided to try these again These are the Oli or Oli sleep gummies. I've been taking a sleep gummy. It's helping me sleep a lot better especially on days that I'm just home and not doing a lot I have a hard time sleeping so I had a coupon for these So I grabbed those. I also needed a can of corn for a recipe. So I got the simple truth organic super sweet corn I'm making my husband his favorite pasta salad not WWE friendly, but nonetheless his favorite salad. So this is just some diced ham for that Picked up a pound of ninety three seven organic ground turkey. I need this for a dinner recipe and A dozen eggs for egg salad sandwiches for this next week for my husband He wanted a salad this week also for that pasta salad. I needed a big block of cheese So this is just some mild cheddar cheese And I had a coupon for the this that was about to expire So this is the private selection center cut double smoked bacon So I picked that up It never hurts to just have some bacon in the freezer on those days that you just want some bacon So I picked that up the rest of what I grabbed is produce. So I have three organic red bell peppers I need peppers for a couple of recipes. So I picked those up also running a little low on my mixed fruit for my smoothies And since I didn't go to Costco this week, I grabbed the simple truth organic mixed fruit This is fresh frozen strawberries peaches pineapple and mango So I thought that would be really really good and speaking of smoothies. I grabbed a bunch of organic bananas I'm going to let these get really really ripe And then I put them in a little ziploc bag and throw these in my freezer so that I have bananas for smoothies Couple of sweet potatoes. I wanted the ones with the orange, but they were out of the organic ones I always buy my port potatoes organic because they're on the dirty dozen list So I just grabbed these sweet potatoes for a bootable recipe can't wait for that Some green onion for my husband's pasta salad and last but not least some Radishes for his pasta salad not shown is some diet coke and some Coors like so that is my grocery haul this week from Fred Meyer So let's jump into my meal plan and my meal prep So here is what is on the menu for this next week. So this is the week of April 4th through April 10th So starting today Saturday, we always go out for dinner or pick up something for dinner on Saturdays Tomorrow I'm going to be making chicken Diven which is really really delicious and then on Monday. I'm making a kale cranberry and feta salad So we're going to keep it nice and fresh maybe pair that with some chicken Tuesday, we'll do leftovers to eat up what we didn't finish from the last couple of days Wednesday is spaghetti cups. These are clean eating little mini spaghetti cups made in a muffin pan So these should be really really good Thursday, we're going to do some turkey burgers I don't know if we'll cook those up on the barbecue or in the house And then Friday we'll barbecue up some garlic and ginger kebabs And then on the back of the weekly menu is where I write down what I'm doing for a meal prep So all of these recipes you'll see in Monday's meal prep video So I'm going to be doing a healthy breakfast hash using sweet potatoes This should be really really good for breakfast Lunches for the week are going to be sweet potato bootables So that's my first time making a bootable. So I'm excited to share that recipe with you guys And then I'm going to be making some clean eating chocolate chip cookies Just to have some dessert options on hand. So all three of these recipes you will see in my meal prep And then these other recipes you'll kind of see throughout the week The ones that I do decide to share you'll see those on my channel Also, I wanted to point out that a lot of people have asked what this BLDS means This is breakfast lunch dinner and snacks So you can actually plan all of your meals I just do my dinners because I meal prep breakfast lunch and snacks So now let's take a look at the meal planner. So this is my meal planner. I use the Kerry L meal planner I get a lot of questions on this. I actually just featured this in Thursday's favorite video But this is the brand new cover for 2020. I love it. I think it's beautiful But this meal planner is awesome. It is everything you need to plan Stay on track. So the first tab will go through is the top one That is the resource tab and this is where you can just jot down your favorite websites meal planning blogs You can even write down your favorite recipes So that they're at a glance if you want to make them again in the future The orange tab is inventory. I did kind of take advantage of this section over This whole quarantine, but you can do your freezer inventory Also your pantry inventory and the one that I took advantage of is my spice inventory So I went through my spice cabinet and I wrote down all of my spices that I don't use very often And when their expiration date is that way I can make sure that I use them up And I don't have them on hand too far past their expiration date The yellow tab is where we just were and this is where you go to plan your meals So let's go to the current month, which is April So there is a calendar and at a glance for the month I love this because I take advantage of this by the night before checking to see what's on the menu Making sure I have all of the ingredients But also making sure that I pull out any meat I need out of the freezer and have that ready to go So I just write down my menu for the entire month now. Yes, it changes I even write down extra recipes So on one of the nights that I planned for leftovers if there isn't any or not enough I have a couple of backup recipes as well So I like seeing everything at a glance and then each week there is also the weekly menu And that's where you'll write down your menu and the detachable grocery list for you to take to the grocery store And you guys know I take it every single week. So when you look at mine I don't have the grocery list anymore. It's actually what I use at the grocery store. So love it And then the gatherings tab looks pretty similar to the meal planning tab It's where you're going to go ahead and plan your events similar to planning your meals Including even the supplies that you need for the event And then there's a detachable grocery list for that as well And lastly is the notes tab and again, this is where you're just going to jot down notes Anything you want to keep track of they give you lots of note pages in the back Which I love and then there's a little two-sided folder Now I use this I put my printed out recipes for the week. So when I go to make a recipe I just grab it right out of the little folder. So that is the carry ale meal planner I do have 10 off.
