I started my journey by typing tomato into the recipe search bar on Real Simple. I printed out five recipes that looked quite delicious and heading off to the grocery store. I tried to focus on some generic ingredients across the board knowing that I clearly wasn't going to need the full portions for just one serving. I ended up going to both Whole Foods and Safeway to get all the necessary ingredients and spending entirely too much money. I got home and cleaned out my refrigerator so that I can start my new project completely fresh. Stay tuned for tomorrow's post with pictures and comments on how the first adventure went!
I'll try to come back with a good recipe but remember that Cubans don't like to stick to recipes!
Grocery Store Loot:
- Fresh Tomatoes: package of grape tomatoes as well as lots of regular sized
- Canned Tomatoes: These are supposedly good for sauces so I bought Whole Peeled, Crushed, and Diced since different recipes called for all three
- 4 Chicken Breast: I put them in separate bags and froze three and left one out for tonight's dinner
- Whole Grain Penne Pasta
- Brown Basmati Rice
- Arborio Rice (used for Risotto)
- Package of Spinach
- Yellow Onion
- White Onion
- Garlic
- Lemon
- Ricotta Cheese
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Parmesan Cheese
