In an attempt to get back into cooking I’ve decided to make a meal list for the week. My mom sent me a $50 gift card to Whole Foods for Christmas (THANKS MOM!) so tonight I went and got a bunch of groceries, staples for the week. I often go to the grocery store with no list and just buy things I like. Then I come home and search those items on Food Gawker to get cool recipe ideas. After selecting a recipe I figure out how to make it low fat, its kind of a fun challenge. So the recipes I have linked are NOT low fat, but when I make them they will be, and I will post the changes I made. So heres whats on the menu this week:
Vegetarian Sloppy Joe with Green Chilies
The Family Chapters 
that veggie casserole looks amazing! my hippy friend calls veggie sloppy joes “sloppy janes.” and she calls the fake ground beef “TVP” which I guess stands for textured vegetable protein. But fake meat is more fun to say, I think.
ha! I like that “Sloppy Janes” is a good name. Yeah, TVP is a weird product, you can buy it in bulk! I prefer to call it fake meat too.
All those dishes look super good.
I love Whole Foods but they are so expensive that I really can’t afford to shop their for my entire family.
