Grocery Haul Post Vacay

I feel healthier already since my Wisconsin trip. The memories of deep fried cheese curds, fried fish, and butter-drenched desserts are fading as fresh fruit, vegetables, and light pasta dishes appear once again on my plate.

Yesterday I pulled myself half-way out of a black hole of deadlines, and my husband, being the kind creature that he is, volunteered to grocery shop. He went to the gym while I watched Scarlet and texted him the grocery list. He bought everything on it plus a few extras.

Today marks the fortieth day of my Freezer Challenge and I’ve made enough headway so I can even shift things around without something crashing onto my feet. I still have a way to go though, which is why I’ve decided to extend it another 30 days. All of the leftovers from the month of slow cooker recipe testing set me back a little. That means I can’t buy any frozen goods except waffles. My pantry appears a bit out of control as well, so I kept those foods off the list.
