Starting another grocery shopping list

It is only Wednesday but the list is started already. My sister just texted me and asked me to make 2 trays of macaroni and cheese for my niece's birthday party on Sunday. Everybody always loves it so I get asked to make it often. I hate to admit it but it is based off of a Paula Deen recipe that I have modified over the years. I tried so many different ones and hers was the best one that I found, then I started tweaking it until it became perfect and became "mine". So I have elbow macaroni, condensed cheddar cheese soup (secret ingredient),and shredded cheddar cheese on my list so far for that. (I have everything else I need already) Butter is on there too just because we need it. Next up I need to start listing the fresh fruits and vegetables that we need. That usually makes up the bulk of the list. Finally, I will sit down with a cookbook or two and select a couple of recipes to make next week. I'll see what I need to make them, what we have, and what I need to add to the list. This is going to take me awhile.

Have fun at the party. I should get started on my list, though I don't need a lot at the moment. Still, payday is next week. Have fun making out your list and finding recipes for next week.

I don't have much on my list which will make it easier on the wallet.

That sounds great and hope it's not too hot to be cooking this weekend. I don't cook if it's hot we mostly just grill or do sandwiches etc.

@NJChicaa I can cook too just not use the stove. We don't have central air so it makes it hotter in the house.

I'm starting my grocery list for this week too and so far have the usual....milk, butter and bread Your mac and cheese sounds good with the cheddar cheese soup as the secret ingredient. I have perfected my mac and cheese too over the years and use Cheez Whiz as my secret ingredient

I like to do this, make a list according to what I'm making for dinner that week. Fresh fruits and vegetable, we get them every week. Your macaroni and cheese sounds delicious:)

I do it so I don't have to keep going back to the store to get things I forgot.

Once I get set up for real cooking here I am going to make a list of groceries I can purchase online and get delivered because the stores are not that close and I figure I will save money by ordering things that can keep a long while and also fresher food that can be frozen. That way I can make my own little meals. Your mac and cheese sounds really good I used to make a delicious tuna casserole using Campbells cheddar cheese woup.

Menu planning and grocery shopping keeps us all going a little crazy I think--haha! I don't mind it but sometimes I really need a rest.
