Here’s a 10-ingredient shopping list that will give you five days of meals.


Chicken breasts (4 boneless)
Bacon (1/2 pound)
Shrimp (1 pound)
Spinach (1 pound)
Tomatoes (6)
Ginger
Onions
Asparagus (2 pounds)
Button mushrooms (1 pound)
Loaf of good country bread

Sound impossible? The ingredients can be easily combined, using oils, herbs and spices, to create the following five meals:


Stir-Fried Chicken With Asparagus
B.S.T. (Bacon, Spinach, Tomato) Sandwiches
Grilled Chicken and Shrimp Kebabs With Vegetables
Shrimp With Asparagus and Udon Noodles
Pasta With Bacon, Spinach and Breadcrumbs

From the article:
And if you have a problem with bacon or any of the ingredients, feel free to substitute. (Mark notes that the amount of bacon used in these dishes is so small that he doesn’t fret about the fat content.)
