I just got home from Whole Foods. I don't have that much counter space so we're gonna make do with what we have. Got some body wash and face wash. Um, I'm gonna be making tacos this week so I got this taco seasoning which is my favorite, but I just realized like there's so much sodium in these, but it's okay. It's okay. I don't wanna get too many things and like waste stuff cause I'm not gonna be here too long. But um, these are so good. I don't have H-Mart here. I'm in New York, so um, this is like my second best favorite tortilla ever. It's so good, very clean ingredients. Their burritos, um, tortilla is also really good if you wanna make a burrito. Cheese. I'm gonna be making like tacos tonight or actually I'm gonna be making like a pasta salad. But this is for the pasta salad, some feta cheese crumbled. Ground beef. I like to get the 90 lean, 10% fat because I don't like my meat to be too fatty. I like it more on the leaner side. And also you get more protein when you have leaner cuts of meat, in case you didn't know cause you're not like eating the fats are good for you. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that you get more protein per pound of mass basically. Um, cucumbers. I always get Persian mini cucumbers. Um, I'm gonna be like cutting those up for pasta salad. Some mayonnaise. I love mayonnaise. Um, pesto. I tried to shop everything, um, Whole Foods brand 365 cause I think it's cheaper actually because of like I'm a Prime member so I get like the discounts. Some sea salt. Um, I got fusilli pasta to do the pasta salad and then one lemon. Some extra virgin olive oil, cold pressed. And seasoning. I got was garlic powder because again, like I'm not gonna be here for too long. So I didn't wanna buy a bunch of seasonings and then have them just like go to waste. So I tried to shop like things that were like pretty ready and seasoned. So I got some regular salsa for the tacos and then obviously rotisserie chicken. Always love to get a rotisserie chicken when I just like wanna make a quick meal. So I'm just gonna shred this up or like chop it up and I like to make a pasta salad with it and the dressing for the pasta salad is gonna be like, um, some pesto and mayo and I'm just gonna mix that up with cucumbers, some garlic powder and some feta. And then I'm also gonna add a little bit of red onion to it. And then the tacos are gonna be like the cheese, the meat, the tortilla and some salsa. So this is like what I shopped for basically two recipes, like pretty precisely. I didn't wanna waste anything. So and this was everything was $76, which is please where did the back fall? Oh yeah, I'm like all over the place, you guys. But this is everything I got for $76 and I'm gonna be making like two meals and it should last me honestly like probably a week or two because I'm also eating out so this is gonna be like just throughout the week cause I don't wanna be eating out every single day for the month and I wanna make sure I'm prioritizing my health and wellness and fueling myself with good nutritious food while I'm here. So let me know if you guys wanna see like maybe a recipe vlog. I haven't posted in so long, so I'm like kind of shy on the camera right now, but I'm getting back into it and yeah, let me know.
