[quote=Anonymous]I had the manny go food shopping with me once. I explained what I would do with the stuff I was buying (ricotta cheese b/c already have moz at home and will make baked ziti, etc.), and how I chose what I chose. I gave him a list of foods people in the house are allergic to and that we hate, a list of the dirty dozen. Stuff he should buy even if it's not on the list but if he sees on sale. I walked him through the kitchen explaining how we use everything (when we make chicken breasts we usually eat this and that with them) so he could employ his own critical thinking skills in purchasing. I encouraged him to write down brands that we use and quantities that we buy, to take pics with his phone if he thought he'd forget. We also really just had to let go a bit and allow that he wouldn't do everything exactly how we do it. The first two times were a little choppy but then he got into the swing of things and it's gone much smoother after that. [/quote]
