Unlike last week’s meal plan, I kept this one a bit more flexible due to the uncertainty (and chaos) on the calendar. In addition to my usual work schedule, I had a four hour class (for work) and maternity unit tour. That meant I’d be at the hospital all five days of the week. I can’t get away from the place! Kyle was also busy with work – presentations, dinner meetings, etc. Accordingly, I planned out dinners for all five week days, but didn’t assign definite nights for most of them. Instead I just figured… Read more >

Contrary to what my posting may indicate, I do still work! Sorry I’ve been withholding my packed eats from you guys. I have only been taking pictures of 50% of them, though, so here’s what I’ve got. Hope this helps you with some ideas! Oats. Veggies. Pretzels. Sabra hummus (x2). Lasagna (leftover). Cookies. Apple. Candied ginger. Oat preference as of late: nuts, cinnamon & dried cherries. When the cherries soak overnight they plump up to get to be the size of full cherries. It’s pretty cool. Now that we are meal planning, my real real… Read more >

After a week of saving money on home-cooked meals a la plan, I opted to splurge for the weekend. Lazy me. I was working though, so it was my treat. I snacked on chex and chocolate crunchfuls. The crunchfuls are made with pea protein. I got them in a sample pack a long time ago. I reviewed the plain ones here. The chocolate ones are better but still have a definite pea flavor going on. I could get used to it (and didn’t really mind it that much), but if you’re looking for a… Read more >

I had such a chaotic day at work, and the weird part was it was totally stress free and enjoyable. For breakfast I had three leftover pancakes from earlier in the week (I always make extra for work and then end up eating half the extras, which leaves me with a measly portion to take to work). Luckily I had banana bread muffins too. My lunch was leftover Caprese Caesar pasta salad. AKA my favorite dish on the face of the Earth. We had this for dinner the previous night. I can’t… Read more >
