Anyway, I went grocery shopping tonight (finally! It's been on my to-do list since Sunday) at the local grocery store. I started out with a decent list - some staples and some bits and pieces for recipes this week - and I have to admit that I succumbed to a few of the sales. Here's what I came away with:
- 2 1-pound packages of tofu
- 5 Lean Cuisines (5 for $10... I don't love them, but they are good for the nights that I have to eat dinner at work) - not on the list
- Almost 3 pounds of grapes - not on the list
- A 2.5 pound head of cauliflower - not on the list
- Can of corn, can of stewed tomatoes, and can of black beans for black bean soup
- Ricotta, parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses for lasagna
- Whole wheat english muffins
- Veggie broth
- 1/2 gallon of milk
- A dozen eggs
There are all kinds of awesome things in here: apples, oranges, pears, bananas, tomatoes, an avocado, an onion, a red pepper, a head of lettuce, two heads of broccoli, a bunch of collard greens, and a fresh bunch of cilantro. I am so excited about the fresh cilantro I can't even tell you. I've never cooked with it before, and I'm excited to find a recipe to try early next week (recommendations welcome)!

Give me yummy cauliflower dish. Kthxbye.
Hi! I found your blog through Confessions of a Twenty Something, and my partner has a cooking blog, and there's a GREAT pineapple mango salsa, and pico de gallo recipe that both call for cilantro! You should try them!

Are you a chef?
Cheryl: I wish! I'm not a chef, but I love to cook and experiment and try new things. I just got my first food processor for Christmas, and I've been having a ball experimenting with it. :) I'd love to take classes, though, once I'm done with my masters.
I'm so jealous! Fresh Abundance doesn't do my area :-(
I just made Dominican Rice & Beans last night and threw in a handful of cilantro leaves. I usually put it in salsas and pico, like Shannon said.
