Now That's a List

This shopping list may seem like a lot and you may not want to do it all at once but it is for 13 dinners and includes some lunch ideas and breakfast. So you decide how you want to conquer this in your own house.  Ok, here we go!!!

Produce
1.5 lbs sweet potatoes
3 onions
celery
carrots
fresh basil (enough for 1 1/4 cups)
parsley
green onions
5 lemons (3 of these are for a lemon cake so if you don't want to make a cake just 2 lemons)
bag of potatoes (mash potatoes are being used twice.  I personally will be using Bob Evan's instant)
fresh dill
6 medium red potatoes
English cucumber
2 zucchinis
2 8oz packages of mushrooms
8 oz cherry tomatoes
1 lime
romaine lettuce
spinach
broccoli
acorn squash (half for each person who wants to eat it with soup, or just use a bowl) :)
 tomato (to slice)

Dairy
1 pkg. (20 oz) refrigerated raviolis
1 pkg. (9 oz) refrigerated raviolis
sliced havarti cheese or Kraft singles (for grilled cheese, use your family preference
8 oz. shredded mozarella cheese
bag of shredded parmesan
bag of shredded cheddar cheese (3-5 cups worth)
Swiss cheese (shredded makes 2 cups)
Grands Biscuits (I use 8 for my family of 4 so plan accordingly for your family)
16 oz. sour cream
8 oz. sour cream
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
big container plain Greek yogurt (at least 3 cups)

Meat
6-6.5 lbs. ground beef---this is for spaghetti, ravioli, shepard's pie, crockpot pie, and meat loaf.  If you don't want to use meat in a certain recipe adjust the amount you want to purchase.  I get mine at Costco because it's in a package of 6+ pounds.
chicken breast--this is for Greek chicken, chicken pot pies and chicken w/white sauce over pasta. Greek chicken plan on 1 breast per person, 3-4 for pot pies and 2-3 for pasta dinner.  I think it's best to also buy this at costco.
bag of frozen chicken tenderloins, or strips. (Costco purchase)
 bag of frozen raw shrimp  (Costco purchase)
 2 lbs. ground turkey ( double my recipe so we have a couple left over)

2 cans corn
14 oz. diced or crushed tomatoes

Italian bread crumbs (bigger canister)
3 cans cream of chicken soup
1 large can cream of mushroom soup
2 8 oz. can tomato sauce
small can tomato paste
1 can tomato soup
box of rice pilaf
spaghetti sauce (I use jar sauce because this is a meal that's fast when we have a crazy schedule)
creamy Caesar dressing
Angel hair pasta
linguine
lemon cake mix
3 oz. lemon jello
2 24oz. jars marinara sauce

Frozen Foods
mixed veggies (green beans, corn, carrots)
shredded potatoes
tortellini

Grains
English muffins
tortilla wraps

Black forest ham (not cut too thin because it is used in the ham rolls and bake in the oven.  At least 15-20 slices
