John's in charge!

Since my hip went out and John was diagnosed with whooping cough, we fell off the wagon. I couldn't (still can't) cook. Just getting my pants on was hard enough not to mention packing a healthy unprocessed lunch. I ordered jimmy johns instead. All that prep and planning..... I failed. I learned something though, my husband likes to help me. He will do anything I ask without complaining. He understands I am not myself. I just have ask.

Saturday, John and mom took me looking for primitives (I will blog on this hobby of mine later). We talked Nancy into going to St. Louis to hit up Trader Joes. I go to Trader Joes for staples. Nuts, seeds, natural seed or nut butters are half the price than any local store. Coconut oil and olive oils (garlic and giant extra virgin) are super affordable. We take a cooler for frozen organic fruit, hummus, and yogurts. John is obsessed with their dried spices and we get one seasoning blend called 21 salute that he buys 3-5 bottles of. We plan on going again in February if anyone wants anything we will bring back the goods.

Sunday, I made another 2 week meal planning schedule and grocery list. I sent John to Meijer with a list and coupons. Back on track and this week John is in charge. We make a good team.
