Weekly plan, 1/19

Saturday: Leftover pizza

Sunday: Dinner with family—it's my birthday!

From the dairy: Two 2% milks

Shopping list: For dinners I need to buy brocoli, sugar snap peas, and rice vinegar; frozen carrots, cauliflower, and beans, dried cannelini beans, and vegetable juice. I need lots of fruit this week, so I'm thinking a bag of organic apples, a handful of organic kiwis, a bag of organic blueberries (for making breakfast smoothies), and a bag of conventional oranges, and handful of conventional mangoes, and a bunch of conventional bananas (since those are lower on the list for pesticide concerns). I also need cereal and orange juice for the mornings, and some celery for ants on a log lunches (fun!).

Happy week!
