Shopping List for Dinners Oct. 14-18th

I have a confession. I shop at Whole Foods (WF). I shop at Whole Foods almost exclusively, besides my weekly stop at my neighborhood farmer’s market and my very occasional stop at Trader Joe’s when I am feeling fierce enough to battle that jungle. I know, I know… “Whole Foods is big business, it’s too expensive, blah, blah, blah…” But I think that Forbes once told me that Whole Foods is a great company to work for AND Whole Foods has TONS of gluten and dairy free options, not to mention all of their organic products. I should also mention that I try to eat organic as much as possible, but especially when the food has a soft exterior, think: plums, berries, potatoes, celery, etc... Beware: Foods labeled as ‘’natural” are not the same as organic foods. Organic foods will be labeled as such. (Learn more about identifying organic produce here)
Anyway, I’m not saying that you need to shop at Whole Foods too; I’m saying that I like it and it’s what I use to make my shopping lists.
The relationship between Whole Foods and me was meant to be, fate, if you will…

This is my shopping list (by department) for dinners during the week of
October 14 – 18th for the following dishes:
Monday – Thai Green Curry Chicken

Wednesday – Roasted Cauliflower Sausage Pasta Bake
