What's on your grocery list this week?

Thursday is the day I plan dinner menus for the following week. I've been doing this for over 20 years and it turns out to be a good habit for someone trying to watch their weight. I'm always looking for new food and meal ideas but am somewhat hampered by living in a small southern town that hasn't got much demand for interesting foods, so not a lot of choice in the supermarket. Maybe you can inspire me by telling me what's on your grocery list this week. Here's what's on mine:

Produce: oranges, sweet potatos, parsnips, butternut squash, onions
Frozen food: Morningstar Farms meal starters crumbles
Canned food: vegetable, chicken & beef broth
Dairy: shredded RF cheddar cheese, RF blue cheese, RF cream cheese, egg substitute, FF
   lactose-free milk, unsweetened almond milk
Meat: ground turkey, country style pork ribs, boneless/skinless chicken thighs
Other: shelled pistachios, raisins, dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, & lemon panko

i haven't done my grocery list yet, but i do try to plan the dinner menu prior to shopping.

can you share your weekly menu???

Sure! I used to post my week's dinner menus every Friday, but got out of the habit when I went to work at JC Penney, where my work schedule is never the same from one week to the next. Here's the plan for the coming week:

Sunday: braised country style pork ribs with root veggies, & noodles for my husband
Monday: bean & veggy soup with the Morningstar crumbles for added protein, & biscuits for my
   husband (I might have a few bites of one - it doesn't always go down well)
Tuesday: barley pilaf with greens and seafood (squid & shrimp)
Wednesday: oven-fried chicken thighs with pistachio coating, turnip greens,herb  roasted  
   potatoes
Thursday: sesame pepper tuna steak, blue cheese & broccoli casserole, leftover potatoes
Friday: leftovers (I have to work that night)
Saturday: garbanzo patties with Italian turkey sausage and butternut squash
