WIS, WWA | and I'm back at work!

Hello, hello! I'm back on my Friday shift routine after an anomalous Friday off last week. 🙂 But, this is just a one-off shift, and that never feels super overwhelming.

What I Spent

I spent:

  • $5.60 at Safeway
  • $13 at Little Caesars

Last week, I said I anticipated a stock-up week, but...this was not the week. 😉

What We Ate

Saturday

This was the night I made the chicken fingers with panko crumbs, which we ate on top of green salads.

Sunday

For some random reason, I thought about Little Caesars pizza and crazy bread, which Zoe and I hadn't eaten in probably several years. Soooo, I picked some up for us.

This reminded me why I usually try to eat a little more protein/produce heavy for most of my meals, because woo, I had such a blood sugar crash after this!

Monday

I worked, so I started my day with some chocolate overnight oats.

Then I had chickpea salad with chicken, plus fruit, some popped chips, and some Nerds clusters for lunch.

And for dinner...Cheerios with a banana.

Tuesday

This was another work day, so you know I ate exactly the same thing for the second day in a row. Copy and paste. 😉

Except...I had plain bran flakes with blueberries when I got home.

I promise there is cereal underneath!

Wednesday

I was having a very low-energy day (which happens to me after working sometimes), so I gathered up some Panera gift cards with random amounts on them, and picked up some food for Zoe and me.

I got a steak sandwich on an Asiago bagel, and it was good!

I felt slightly stalked by Chiquita. 😉

The weather was super nice after we ate, so I went out and caught a sunset.

Thursday

I made a pasta salad (using the Barilla protein pasta), some vegetables, and some chicken, a decision driven largely by my need for a packed lunch Friday.

Friday

I'm working today, and Zoe has a closing shift at work, so I'll probably just eat some yogurt with fruit before I go to bed.

What did you have for dinner this week?

  1. The cats I had growing up would stalk us at dinner too! I had to look up crazy bread.

    This week's eats:

    Monday: I got takeaway pizza from a local cafe. I had always been meaning to try their pizza and it was very tasty!

    Tuesday: Chilli mac and cheese

    Wednesday: Leftovers

    Thursday: Last night was a bit of a scratch meal because I came home late after going to the cinema. I fried potatoes and onions and put them in a wrap along with avocado, pesto and sundried tomatoes. It was a little salty but fine otherwise.

    Friday: I have no idea!

    1. For some reason I forgot to add what I ate over the weekend! I also forgot to add that I usually have strawberries with greek yoghurt and granola for dessert.

      Saturday: I had pasta parcels with spinach and ricotta with some salad on the side

      Sunday: Veggie stir-fry with roasted tofu
