WIS, WWA | can't stop, won't stop
I did sort of continue my breakfast-for-dinner-after-work streak. I mean, I had relatively substantial lunches:
But after work, speed is the name of the game. The main mission: get to bed on time.
What I Spent
I spent:
- $10 at Giant
- $30 on a Hungry Harvest box
- $46 at Safeway
So, for this week, I'm clocking in at $86.
What We Ate
Saturday
I had some leftover rice in the fridge, so I cooked some shrimp, added some other stuff from my fridge, and made a sort of burrito bowl for myself, with some sauteed broccoli on the side.
Sunday
After my Easter work shift, I made a smoothie with spinach, ate some Cheerios, and called it good. This is possible the most non-traditional thing I have ever eaten on Easter. Ahahaha.
Monday
I had a bowl of yogurt with fruit and chia seeds.
Tuesday
After work, I made another smoothie.
Wednesday
A day off! I cooked some tilapia filets and served them with mashed potatoes and sauteed broccoli.
Thursday
I grilled some burgers and used my last few potatoes to make some potato cubes.
Friday
I will honestly probably opt for some takeout!
Or pancakes. That's always an option.
You are so good at getting to bed on time! I'm constantly trying to avoid the 'revenge bedtime' trap. I hate knowing that going to bed is the end of my free time before work the next day...but I also hate being exhausted.
My eats:
Saturday: Veggie burgers with mashed potatoes and peas.
Sunday: We had a roast dinner at lunchtime for Easter/my dad's birthday, so I didn't eat an evening meal. I had a toasted cheese sandwich at teatime.
Monday: This was the day I travelled back. I had a toasted sandwich at the airport but my flight was delayed, so I didn't have the energy to make dinner when I got in. I toasted some crumpets I brought back from England, watched Scrubs and went to bed!
Tuesday: Burritos, mixed veg, brown rice and sauce. I had crackers with hummus and avocado on the side.
Wednesday: Potato and spinach frittata and garlic bread. I had crackers with cream cheese and cucumber on the side.
Thursday: Spinach and cream cheese with onion and garlic over pasta. I had crackers with cream cheese and avocado on the side.
Friday: I have no idea. Possibly a baked sweet potato.
I just feel so tired at night, I can’t bring myself to stay up. That’s especially true in the midst of a strong of shifts. I sit down at my kitchen table when I come home and the exhaustion hits me!
Very understandable! My job is less tiring and the latest I get home is usually six, assuming I'm not doing anything after work, so it's easy for me to stay up.
I spent 50.00 this week, my partner spent I think 200 at Costco on treats, and household items like toilet paper, garbage bags, etc
Saturday - I think we had fish, salad and asparagus
Sunday - turkey dinner, turkey, mashed potatoes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, dressing, gravy.
Monday - we are a late lunch at a restaurant ( he paid). I had a coffee at around 6, the girls ate ice cream.
Tuesday - we all are Kraft dinner at around 6, I made a turkey hash for everyone else later and I went to bed while they ate. ( I had a rough day and put myself to bed around 8).
Wednesday - pasta with mushrooms, broccoli and the last of the turkey
Thursday - we had Indian... And every one has leftovers for today! ( He paid).
Tonight? I'm thinking maybe a tofu stir-fry or nachos with black beans and sweet potato topping.
One year on Easter my mom was in the hospital (hundreds of miles away) so I had a McDonald's Southwest Chicken Salad since restaurants were closed where she lived.
This year we ate at a Persian restaurant (kabobs for us) though we contemplated going to a Mexican restaurant.
I think throughout most of human history you ate whatever you were able to obtain.
