Speaking of fruits and veggies.

What are your staples? What do you buy every week and what are some recipes that you have for them?

staples? Ive never heard that expression..
Every week I buy pasta, for those OT nights that dh works.
I buy chicken...I either throw it on the foreman grill or latley have been going the Parm Crusted Chicken route.
Sometimes will make a quick pizza or skillet meals.

I assume you mean what I regularly eat fruits and veggies wise. Not nearly enough, but I'm trying to be a lot better.

I get romaine lettuce, carrots & snow peas every Sunday and make a big bowl of salad that I try to eat for lunch every day. I usually have to go back and get more mid week. I have to make it ahead of time so I can just take out what I want. I get too lazy to make it every day and it just rots otherwise.

Baked potatos (I make them in the micro)

Lately I'm eating a lot of applesauce (the no sugar added kind). Not really eating much other fruit, which isn't good.

It's not fresh, but I really like the Progresso garden vegetable soup.

I'll steam some frozen veggies and mix them into pasta with a little garlic and olive oil.

Yup, I meant the fruits and veggies you buy every week. I love the Progresso soups! Last night, I made rice and cooked a bag of Tabatchnek vegetable soup and mixed them together. Soooo good.

I buy a bag of salad and toss in some low-fat cheese. I am not a huge salad fan but I go through a bag in about three days.

I don't do much with fruit- I like chocolate Slim-Fast shakes with a banana. I also like fruit salad- sliced cantelope, grapes, watermelon, honeydew. And sliced pinapple.

Re: Speaking of fruits and veggies.

Veggies I buy every week: asparagus, broccoli, green peppers, red peppers, snow peas, baby carrots, mushrooms (button, portobello, shitake). We eat a lot of fresh veggies. Also, onions, garlic, shallots, white potatoes & sweet potatoes and lemons & limes are always stocked in the draws.

Fruits I usually buy red delicious apples for DH, macintosh and granny smith apples for me. A small bunch of banana's. I usually buy my berries and peaches from the cart guy in front of my building.

Sometimes we eat it all, sometimes it lasts a week or two .. sometimes it goes bad, but I love the fact that it's there if we want it. It helps us eat them more often.

Frozen veggies I keep stocked: sugar snap peas, broccoli, spinach, crinkle cut carrots, corn.

Thank you! I had frozen corn too, but when I would use it, it would make the dish taste weird. So now I use can corn.

Fresh Fruits & Veggies I buy every week are tomatoes, asparagus, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, red leaf lettuce, garlic, shallots, red onions, banannas, green beans. Sometimes I buy mangos, pineapples, mushrooms.

Frozen veggies I always have on hand are mixed veggies, spinach, beans and peas. Usually a box of mixed veggies in an Asian Sauce as well. We have a veggie with dinner everynight unless we are having a pasta and even then we will sometimes have a side salad with it.

grapes, peppers, cucumbers, melons, etc.

I love fresh veggies and fruits, but sometimes I resort to frozen veggies too.
