I need food help!

[district12ravenclaw]

I need help ladies! I have like 3 or 4 things I make on a regular basis, and none of them are particularly healthy. I also can't even tell you how much fast food I've eaten in the past week. I tend to go grocery shopping only once a month, so I run out of stuff a lot, or things go bad.

Can you all give me some idea of what your shopping lists are like? I'm looking for some good recipes too, so if you have one or a few, please share! Finally, how do you healthy eaters do it? I try to be healthy, but I'm failing miserably!

What we do around here is make a menu for the week on Saturday night. On Sunday morning we go shopping for the ingredients needed for the week.

For example this week:

Sunday: Crab and satay (birthday meal for MIL-not a usual meal)
Monday: Meatsa pie with rice and corn (ground beef meatloaf dish with low-fat cheese baked in)
Tuesday: Barbecued Chicken, rice and green beans
Wednesday: Sausage pasta bake, caprese salad with tomatoes and basil from garden (cook 2 packs of sausage and save one for Friday)
Thursday: Chicken Fried rice (with leftover chicken and rice from Tuesday)
Friday: Sausage pizza pockets (whole wheat dough)
Saturday: Babi Punggungmara and carrots and salad (an indonesian pork and rice dish)

Most of the ingredients for these things get bought fresh on Sunday morning, as well as the things we want for lunches, although we usually have leftovers for lunches, or create salds out of what's in the fridge. We are big on making enouigh meat for two meals and using it to create another dish.
