"Your Weeknight Meal Planner" shopping list

This is the shopping list that was included with the meal planner, pull out section, from the September 2011 issue of Every Day with Rachael Ray. I don't know about you, but I pretty much always have cinnamon in the house (great in oatmeal!), so I didn't need to buy any of that. However, Tuesday's recipe is a quiche and requires baking the puff pastry with pie weights or dry beans. I had neither and had to make an extra trip to the store to grab some beans (along with more garlic and extra virgin olive oil as we've been using both of them lately and I wanted to be sure to have enough). Feel free to pick and choose, although I liked the idea of finishing off containers of things and not having a 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese left in the fridge, etc. I'll link all the recipes here, as well as a link on each recipe back to here. Happy eating!
