separating the shopping from the cooking

[geeksdoitbetter]

one of the things i often forget is that after a successful shopping run, i'm usually too tired to actually cook anything i'd bought

in my head, it seems so possible and normal to sweep by the grocery after work and then come home to make a delicious meal

but, in my reality, it hardly ever works out

i'm trying to be more gentle with myself and letting the shopping day be separate from the cooking day

Oooh. Also, if you are into soups, dried legumes are fantastic. I'm currently making a split pea and potato soup in my slow cooker. Dried split peas keep forever and potatoes will keep for a while in the fridge. So, having those types of things on hand means that I can whip up a healthy meal without much work or having to go to the grocery store.
