WIS, WWA | a work week
I have spent most of my week at the hospital since I got back. But I am off today. Yay!
What I Spent
I spent:
- $53 at Aldi
- $10 at Safeway
So, $63.
And I did not buy any food out at all, which is pretty good for having just gotten home from a trip. Yay me!
What We Ate
Saturday
My flight got in very late Saturday night, so I was absolutely more tired than hungry when I walked in the door. Straight to bed I went!
Sunday
I had one day to unpack, do laundry, write blog posts, and prep food for my work shifts, so I was really busy.
Luckily, Zoe had some leftover pizza in the fridge from when I was gone, so I heated that in the toaster oven for us for dinner.
Monday
We had the stuffed shells I'd frozen a few weeks ago. Someone asked about the cooking method after freezing; I pour a little sauce into a pan, put the shells in, pour more sauce over the top, cover the pan, and let it sit in the fridge all day while I'm at work.
Then they're nicely thawed and they bake in the usual time. I know you can bake them straight from frozen too, but that will obviously require a longer baking time.
Here's the recipe I use for stuffed shells, in case you want it!
Tuesday
I had planned to grill the burgers from my freezer, but I forgot to get them out before work. And that was just as well because I was so freaking tired when I got home, all I could manage was a bowl of cereal.
Wednesday
Zoe had a late lunch and wasn't hungry, so when I got home, I just made a grilled cheese sandwich, using whole wheat sandwich bread, and then went to bed.
Thursday
I only had a five-hour new grad residency class, so I was able to eat dinner at a normal time. Amazing! I just made a fruit salad and some cheese quesadillas for us.
Chiquita took my seat when I got up, so I just scooted that chair over and took another one. 😉
Friday
Since I have really only had one day at home since I flew back, I have not had a proper rifle through the fridge. So I am going to do that today and then figure out what I need to use up for dinner.
The stuffed shells look good!
Saturday: Burritos with mixed veg, black beans, brown rice and sauce.
Sunday: Mashed sweet potatoes with veggie burgers and mushrooms, tomatoes and spinach on the side.
Monday: Baked sweet potato with a mushroom omelette.
Tuesday: Chilli mac and cheese.
Wednesday: Leftovers. I'd forgotten it was Pancake Night on Tuesday so I belatedly made pancakes ( crepe style) as well. I had some with lemon and sugar and some with nutella.
Thursday: I had a large lunch and met a friend after work so I wasn't very hungry when I got back. I made a mushroom omelette and had some crackers with hummus and avocado on the side.
Friday: I'm going out for dinner paid by the union so I don't know yet!
