Though Canadians and Americans may find this a boring
topic, I can assure you that millions of people in China find precise details of our food shopping and food routines quite
interesting.
So I write these areas for newcomers to our countries.

I exclude holiday, snack, and party foods. These meal plans are the Default.
The basic plan was Meat, Potato, and Vegetable. The North American diet for millions of people.
Meat:
My mom used chicken and medium grade minced beef in most of her recipes.
We were fussy eaters as well, with me never wanting to eat any meat all, and my brother just as difficult in his own way.

hamburgers
shepherd's pie
fried chicken

Potatoes:

Baked potatoes, with sour cream
Roast

Vegetables:

Our taste buds were so damaged
by addiction to sugar, that most vegetables tasted very odd. The meat, potatoes, and vegetables, were rushed through,
to get to the dessert!
