the shopping list
Print out this
puppy and do a little tour through your kitchen before you go to the
grocery store. There’s nothing worse than an eleventh hour run when
something crucial is sitting on the stove. I’ve organized the list
into categories of foods that tend to be found near one another in the
store, a tactic intended to minimize your shopping time. This list is
intended for a party of 4-6 adults (with appetites);
you may want to take a look at the recipes and do some multiplication if
you intend to host a few more.
