GROCERY LIST:
I had $110.60 as a total. Total cost is dependent on geographical location, preferred brand, preferred quality and other variables. My total includes a mix of organic/non-organic, store-brand/non store-brand choices.

For the Chicken Pesto Ravioli, I'm going to make it with grilled or sautéed shrimp for this first week of Lent, as we will be having seafood on Wednesday and Friday.

If you're in need of some Valentine's Day dinner ideas for Wednesday, I have a post here.

My homemade pesto recipe is featured in A Month of Dinner, Vol. 1 and I definitely recommend giving it a try. You can absolutely use store-bought though!
