Groceries Tuesday, June 19

So many groceries I couldn't fit them into one shot!  

• rotisserie chicken: great low carb meal in a hurry
• frozen scallops: I usually use about half a bag of these at a time.  
• milled flax seeds: for use in hot flax cereal
• salad almonds: great way to add crunch to your salad without adding a ton of carbs
• salad onions: these little onions are crunchy.  You only get about 1 Tbsp per serving, but they are wonderful on top of chicken salad wraps
• Dole Southwest salad kit: I love this.
• tomato sauce: I keep this on hand, but tomato sauces can be tricky.  Make sure that you read labels because some can have as many as 14 carbs per half cup.  Yikes!  
• romaine lettuce: another ingredient to keep on hand
• olive oil: good in so many things- keep on hand
• Ragu alfredo sauce: I use this to make lots of pasta sauces, including my special sauce.
• lobster tails: These were on sale for $5.99 each (!) so I bought some.  Going into the freezer for now.     
• big bag of Splenda: I buy the grocery store brand because it's much less expensive.  
• heavy cream: keep on hand.  Little carton goes to work for my coffee and occasional chai.
• gerber graduates lil crunchies in tomato and cinnamon flavors: Awesome low carb snack when you need a little crunch.  Make sure that you count your serving size.  You can find these in the baby food aisle.  
• Little Puffs: You'll also find these in the baby food aisle.  You get 90 of them for a few carbs, so also a good sweet and crunchy snack.  
• Marzetti Balsamic Vinaigrette: great low carb salad dressing- keep on hand
• Daisy Cottage Cheese: great low carb snack.  Make sure you get the one that says 4%.  
• Babybel cheese rounds: another great snack with zero carbs.  
• Muenster cheese: muenster melts down really well.  I use it on burgers, in eggs, on salads, etc.
