Mini grocery trip and sweet deals... 3/4/2013

Lots of my groceries are still going strong, so I am not in need of much.  Lack of Almond Milk sent me to Harps today.  Also, Thing1 had a cavity filled this morning, and I wanted to pick up some yogurt for her convalescence.  Harps had some really good deals today, and I am super glad that I went.  As always, I checked out the not so fresh produce shelves, and I lucked into 7.77 lbs of bananas for 39 cents a pound!  Many of them are going to be fabulous and tasty over the next three or so days, and some of them need to be made into banana bread later today or tomorrow.   

Today's haul...
Bread   2x 1.09                                                                                            2.18
Bread                                                                                                           1.79
Colby Jack 2 @ 1.50                                                                                   3.00
Heavy Whipping Cream                                                                                6.29
Over-ripe bananas                                                                                        3.03
Best Choice Yogurt 10 @ .45                                                                       4.50
Minced Clams 15 @ .50                                                                               7.50
Almond Milk 2@ 3.39                                                                                  6.78
Almond Milk 2@ 3.29                                                                                  6.58
                                                                                                      Total =  41.65

Part of the heavy whipping cream will go into eggs in a bacon basket; lifting directly from this recipe on Youtube... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a-dV9P7Wr4)

Most of the heavy Whipping Cream will also find it's way into into a recipe inspired by Paleo Nick.  He has a video of Paleo Pesto, and I will need that for the recipe, but it is the second video that is inspiring me to use the heavy whipping cream. The plan is to mix pesto and heavy whipping cream, and serve over Spaghetti Squash with either baked chicken, or the almond meal crusted fish.  (http://www.paleoonthecheap.blogspot.com/2013/02/tilapia-with-coconutalmond-crust.html)  I will post when the meal happens. 

I plan to incorporate the clams into an etouffee, or maybe a gumbo?  I will let you know how it all shakes down.
