Here I was thinking about asking someone to post a grocery list today so I know what to buy to get started, and you guys beat me to it...I'll be able to run out tonight maybe and pick up some of this stuff...

It pays to go back and look at older posts. I am planning on starting the Sonoma Diet and this post was a big help for me to get an idea of what is good to buy.
big shrimp
scallops
spinach
roasted red peppers (canned in the jar - so excellent in salads)
romaine lettuce - I like those packages with about 3 in the bag that you cut up yourself
Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries
nonfat plain yogurt (which I turn into yogurt creme by sieving out the liquid - yummy in lots of ways)
eggs
asparagus
green beans
tomatoes
feta cheese, goat cheese
Barilla Plus Angel Hair (love the stuff!)
grapefruit
chicken broth
I've been on a program to make at least 2 seafood meals a week - not hard at all once you get started. I'm trying to use up stuff in my freezer - chicken breasts, turkey breasts, ground beef, beef filets, and some leftovers as well. :-)
For this week (I'm re-starting Wave 1 so no fruit):
Peppers
Onions
Garlic
tomatoes (I so cannot wait for my tomato plants to start producing!)
cucumbers
fresh broccoli
fresh cauliflower
sugar snap peas
mange-touts (chinese snow peas)
chicken breasts
salmon fillets
cod loins
wholemeal bread
turkey bacon
wholegrain pasta
red lentils
aduki beans
quinoa
brown rice
anchovies
almonds, hazelnuts and cashews
textured soy protein
Feta cheese
bottled roasted red peppers
olives
eggs
Sometimes the grocery bill is a bit more expensive than others when you have to restock on items like grains, pastas, beans, EVOO. But thankfully, they don't all run out at one time! Not normally, anyway.
Brown Rice tip!
I never bought the stuff because it took so long to cook and didn't taste that good.
I found some that's in boiling bags. You boil them for 10 minutes and they taste great!
