My Grocery List

If you are like me, you have a love/hate relationship with grocery shopping.  I love the idea of serving my family healthy home-cooked meals for the week.  I hate doing it all within a strict budget.  The budget constraints and my amateur skills in the kitchen make coming up with creative, healthy, budget-conscious meals a bit difficult for me.

Recently, I came across this article that listed the 20 best foods to pick up at the grocery store.  It's an interesting read and I hope you find it useful the next time you are at the grocery store.


Here is the list for quick reference:


1. Almonds- Monounsaturated fat, protein, Thiamin, Riboflavin, and Vitamin E
2. Asparagus- Anti-Inflammatory nutrients and folic acid
3. Avocados- Monosaturated fats, Vitamin A, D, E, and K
4. Berries- Vitamins and Antioxidants
5. Bell Peppers- Antioxidants
6. Black Beans- Packed with nutrients
