Shopping with Mariah and Vianne 101

It's easy to get overwhelmed when you are at the grocery store. Here are some of our favorite go to items. You'll pretty much find these in our cart every time we shop.


Amy's soup...any flavor! These soups are vegetarian, flavorful, and good for you! Vianne packs them for lunch or eats them for an afterschool snack (first dinner). Her favorites are Vegetable Barley, Alphabet, and Minestrone. A+

Mariah loves Coconut Almond Milk by Blue Diamond. It's amazing over cereal. Not a big fan of rice milk or soy milk, but this almond milk is D-lish! A+

The Carnivore (who prefers his true identity to be protected) is crazy for frozen Mango Pops. He loves to eat them after school for a cool refreshing (not too bad for you) treat. They are the Wholefoods 365 brand. A

Vianne and her fake chicken tenders... they are truly a love affair. Better than the real thing! And that's the truth! They are made by Gardein. A

We make Pizza a lot in our house. It's easy and quick, we love that! These crusts make dinner prep literally about 15 minutes. They are thin and chewy and crispy all at the same time! By Top This. A

Nothing beats homemade pasta sauce. Except this sauce by Poblano Farms. It's pricey, but worth every penny. It's made locally and is jam packed with flavor! Simple, and amazing! A+

Pasta is so good... but all the white flour is so bad (for your hips). We DESPISE whole wheat pasta. YUCK! Carboard! We recenltly discovered this brown rice pasta. The taste is great and the texture is spot on. A terrific substitute for regular pasta and gluten free! A

Last but not least, Mariah's favorite cereal. Top it with that coconut almond milk, a chopped banana and some golden raisins. A beautiful breakfast! By Ezekiel 4:9. A

Good luck on your next trip to the market. Let us know know if you try out any of our favorites!
