What's on your grocery list?

I'm trying to make a grocery list for my shopping trip this evening, and I have no idea what to buy!

I like to make quick and easy meals.  (I am NOT good at cooking, so I can't handle anything complicated.)  We don't like anything really fancy.

I also never have things to send with DS to the sitter's for his lunch and snacks. 

Your ideas would be really appreciated!  TIA.

    I always get a rotisserie chicken already cooked- I am not a good cook either.  I slice it up for DS- he loves it.  I will cut it up into chunks and bring it with us if we are going somewhere- he eats it cold cometimes- it is already fully cooked.

    We always get bananas and string cheese as well. They are good on the go!

    Thanks!  I just added all of those things to my list.  Great ideas.

    ditto the pp..rotisserie chicken, bananas, and string cheese are often on our list.  Also, yogurt, frozen defrosted frozen mango chunks and strawberries make good snacks.  Sometimes for lunch, I will make a bunch of pasta early in the week and then mix it with peas or cut up broccoli, sprinkle on a little parmesan cheese, and voila!...instant baby lunch...one of dd's faves.

    Here are other typical things we buy for dd:

    low sodium turkey breast from the deli, cut in chunks

    applesauce

    morningstar farms veggie burgers, chik'n patties, and spinach and artichoke nuggets

    lots of different frozen veggies

    mini whole wheat bagels

    How about some fresh fruit and vegetables in the steamer bags. You pop those in the microwave for 5 minutes and there good to go.

    For snacks, we do graham crackers--well really any crackers--Goldfish, etc.  I love the graham cracker and regular cracker stix.  We also do:

    yogurt or yogurt bites (gerber grads)
    veggie puffs (gerber grads)
    cheese--cubes or shredded
    fruit--any kind, cut up
    Cheerios or any bite size cereal
    Nutri grain bars---Evans favorite!!

     

    For quick dinners, I love the Lunchables Jr.  They have meat, cheese and little crackers in them.  Come 2 in a pack and so convienent!!  The meat and cheese are cut up in small, bite size peices and the amt of food is perfect.  We also do:

    Easy Mac
    hot dogs
    frozen veggies--peas, green beans, squash, etc.  I love this because I make as much as I need and freeze the rest
    Veggie soup--any canned variety.  I drain the liquid and he eats the veggies
    Kid shaped pasta--wheels, shells etc and mix with alittle butter and parmesean cheese
    Chicken breast nuggets--or the breaded kind
    Grilled cheese or cheese quesadilla

     Sorry, this is long.  Hope that helps though.
