Please find a list of the food items you will see week 2 of the Runner's Weight Loss Challenge below. You will notice that I did not include the quantities for the items, as we assume everyone will be making different serving sizes, depending on how many people you are cooking for. The list is merely a guide to help you stock your pantry and give you a heads up as to what you will need to look for in the grocery store. Click here for the complete meal plan and corresponding recipes.
Some of the items are perishable which means people will be purchasing within days of making the recipe. Others are spices, seasonings, oils, condiments, etc. that can be purchased and kept in your pantry as needed (and most you have from preparation for week 1). Either way, I hope this list provides you with a shopping guide as you prepare for week 2 of the Runner's Weight Loss Challenge.
Good luck with your shopping!
(Don’t freak out by the large list of items! Many of the items on the list are every day staples. Many of you will already have certain items like salt, pepper, olive oil, etc. on hand. I just wanted to be thorough and make sure we didn’t leave anything out.)
