It’s the first Monday of summer break, and the house feels a little different. My oldest daughter, Piper, is off at an all-day basketball camp. My youngest, Laney, is at home with me.
Laney has been my right-hand girl today! This morning we planted the last of our tomato starts, preserved garlic scapes, and picked flowers to put in vases around our home.
After that, she came along to help me pick up groceries. Now that the groceries are unpacked and the fridge has been freshly restocked (and reorganized, sort of), I thought it would be fun to do something a little different: show you exactly what we bought for the week, and what’s in my fridge.
This was a spontaneous decision and so the fridge isn’t deep cleaned or sparkling by any means, and that’s okay. I also didn’t plan a grocery haul with the thought of sharing it in mind so this is going to be as authentic and real as it gets today!
I don’t usually pick up groceries on Monday but, we had a weekend full of fun that kept me pretty busy! I picked up the groceries we needed for the rest of the week ahead, which will supply my dinner meal plan for the week!
Monday: Zuppa Toscana
Tuesday: OTE
Wednesday: Burgers + Corn
Thursday: Egg Roll Bowl
Friday: Chicken Sausage Stir Fry
Since Piper will be at basketball camp the next few days, I made sure to stock up on Gatorade. We also like to have Coke Zero and Spindrift sparkling waters on hand in general each week.
I will say the butter is not usually kept in the fridge but since I made garlic scape butter, I thought it would be best to refrigerate it.
As for the two mysterious looking jars on the top shelf, those would be our bacon grease supply that we use for cooking and a sourdough starter that I keep as a backup just in case my starter dies.
Everything else seems pretty self explanatory. I hope you enjoyed this little peek into what we eat and how we spent our first summer Monday!
