Holiday Grocery Shopping

Posted on December 23rd, 2009, by Kasey

Good Morning!  Yesterday’s grocery trip was successful.  I was able to get lots of good looking produce for the fruit tray I’m bringing for my family’s Christmas Eve party (Tomorrow!!!).

-Pineapple

-Pomegranate

-Grapes

 

The pineapple was on sale for $2.99!  I may also incorporate some fruit that Cory brought home from his Dad’s house over the weekend…

Two big bags full of oranges, grapefruit, and lemons!  I actually used a few of the lemons to clean and remove some tea stains from my favorite mug (Thanks to the advice of the head chef at the hospital!)…

Overall, it worked well but there a still a couple stains lingering.

Some other fun things I got from the grocery…

I love these 100 Calorie guacamole packs!!!  They brought our Taco Tuesday night to a whole new level of deliciousness.  Check out the stellar nutritionals… healthy fat, fiber, some vitamins/minerals!

I also stocked up on wine.

I have said it once and I’ll say it again… Whole Foods has the best wine!  Out of the hundreds dozens of bottles I have bought (and drank) from WF, I have only disliked one (Harthill Farms Cabernet)!

Peanut butter was also on my grocery list.

Today is our cookie swap at work!  So, last night was a baking frenzy.  After a failed recipe attempt (too much flour), I found a great peanut butter cookie recipe on my Big Oven iPhone application.

How did I live before the iPhone?!

I hope the girls at work like them!  I’m off to a busy day at work then I’m off for two days!!!

 

Are you doing any holiday baking?

What’s your favorite phone application?

    I’m having my in-laws over on Christmas Day morning for brunch so that they can watch the toddler open his gifts, and I’m making a fruit tray. Your fruits gave me some ideas! Thanks! :)

    I plan on baking some gingerbread men today or tomorrow, but that’s it as far as baking goes…

    those cookies you brought me were amazing! Not sure if you like Shiraz, but, if so, you should try Red Belly Black (Australian) – it doesn’t last more than a day or two in my house.
