My Bye Week
I have to admit, this week, I am taking the lazy man's way out and having a cleaning out the fridge week! Luckily I made a few staples this weekend, so it should be pretty easy! Planning consisted of a couple variables this week.
(1) I got a food box. In it: broccoli, carrots, apples, pears, radishes, arugula, bok choy and oranges. I already ate all the fruit. For the veggies, I chopped up the carrots with some potatoes for an easy on the go dinner. The broccoli will be an easy five minute dinner as well. Yes, I often eat a bowl of veggies for dinner with a fruit and/or yogurt dessert.
(2) I went to the grocery store to get a few more fresh fruit and veggies. This week's buy: Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, spaghetti squash, a pumpkin, bananas, apples and persimmons! I love persimmons! These will also be used mostly as side dishes to other vegetables. Like I said, this is a lazy week. I am calling it a bye week, or should I say a NO BUY week. Ha.
So, because of that, dinners this week will look like this:
Monday: GIANTS game! Dinner = nachos and beer!
Tuesday: Turkey Chili (freezer meal), broccoli
Wednesday: Cream of mushroom soup (freezer meal), Brussels sprouts
Thursday: Garbanzo stew (last week's freezer meal), rosemary carrot and potato medley
Friday: Curried Chicken and Rice, roasted sweet potatoes
Saturday: Dinner w/ the Broski -- carbo load for tomorrow's Half. Mexican Fiesta (make your own burrito)
Sunday: Whatever is left over / Grocery shopping day
What's on your menu this week? Do you ever give yourself a bye week? If so, what do you eat?
