I'm now entering the second week of my experiment of shopping for more than one day. So far so good but I've had a few hiccups.
I spent nearly $100 at the grocery store yesterday buying mostly fruits and veggies but I'm still shopping without recipes in mind so it'll be interesting to see how creative I can get with the ingredients I've purchased. I'm also curious to see if I start wasting food. That would be bad.
In addition to changing my shopping habits, I'm also attempting to cook bigger meals in order to bring my lunch more often. And nothing says leftovers like a big pot of chili. It's kind of tough to call it chili when there isn't any chili powder in it but calling it bean stew just seems silly.
Considering I just threw a bunch of stuff in the pot, this was surprisingly delicious. This meal was my attempt at using some of the veggies I had from my previous shopping expedition and it worked out well.
