Grocery List - June 1 - June 7

As I make my grocery list for the week I include what I will need for all the dinner recipes, lunches, breakfasts, and snacks. I only list an item one place on my list, however, this week I need red peppers for several menu items. On my list I put it first under the Philadelphia Burger, so then when other menu items also needed a red pepper I just changed how many of them I would need this week. That way when I get to the store I don't have to look all over the list to count how many I need, but I can find the weeks total in one place.

I will show my grocery list here the same way. I will include all ingredients for the recipes unless I have listed it previously for another menu item and would have enough left from one recipe to use in the other. The ingredients should show everything you would need for the week's worth of dinner recipes. My grocery list shows what I need to pick up because I have everything else currently at my house. I will add at the bottom the other items I am picking up for other meals.
