With baby fast approaching we’re trying not to do too much extra food in case we end up in the hospital for a day or two. That being said I got supplies for several meals this week including sweet potato sushi bowl, vegetarian spinach and bean enchiladas, spicy spinach pasta, and panko crusted tilapia and roasted vegetables (broccoli and asparagus). Can’t forget breakfast, my favorite Island coconut water smoothie!

Our grocery list was pretty easy this week being we had basically everything for these recipes at home other than some of the produce. Our trip to the grocery store was fairly painless. Now, Costco on the other hand is always a challenge, cause there are always things we find that were not planned… That store is good for that.

The pasta we tried for the first time this past week and my husband LOVED it, so I got stuff to make it again. This time I’m planning to make some modifications to add more veggies, and hopefully he’ll like it even better the second time. We got a massive bag of spinach from Costco so it’s perfect timing to make this pasta, since it uses a whole 10 oz container of spinach.

Tilapia has been one of our few non-vegetarian meals lately just because I’ve been craving fish. Being I’m growing a life I figured I better listen to my body some, maybe I’m low in some omegas or something specific to fish. Plus every time I make fish we eat a whole sheet of roasted broccoli or a sheet of asparagus.

Now let’s get down to the nitty gritty of a grocery list. What you need to make this for the week.
