Grocery day! This time I prepared and came up with a shopping list based on recipes before I left. And I just went to Kroger this time. I stuck to the produce, bulk food, and meat counter sections except when I got butter. I picked out the butter with the least amount of packaging so now I've got a huge block of butter. I was happy that I unintentionally spent about what I usually spend on a week's worth of groceries ($40)! It was a good time.
Some friends have been asking me what I am eating during the challenge. And it's really not that different from what I usually eat. Since I'm still using foods I already own (like soy sauce and brown sugar and rice) it is pretty easy to come up with recipes. Today I made some delicious teriyaki chicken with rice, broccoli, carrots, and zucchini that will last me for the next couple days. I thought it tasted pretty darn good. The only modifications I made were shredding my own carrots instead of buying matchstick carrots, using lemon juice instead of rice vinegar, and using ground ginger instead of minced.
