Feb 4 This week I'm pretty sure I used every appliance I own

Plan A Little, Eat A Lot

Helloooo!

I swear I didn't intend to use so many appliances today. I swear that when I planned my meals for the week I was listening to my body and also thinking about what leftover ingredients I should use up. But I used everything except for my smoothie blender and my hand mixer. Everything. My juicer, food processor, stand mixer, mini prep, griddler (with waffle plates) and BOTH stick blenders. Things got serious!

Here is what I've prepped this week!

breakfasts: high protein waffles
lunches: shepherd's pie with extra mushrooms
lunches: green chicken enchiladas
snack: grapefruit curd tarts
snack: kale chips
dinners: spicy tomato soup with cheddar crackers

Check out the individual posts for details about what groceries I had on hand versus what I had to buy. Here are the grand totals!

Total monies spent for the entire week of meals: $40.65

Average monies: $5.80/day

Can't wait!

A very very very very #notsaddesklunch... summer rolls are the perfect answer to WFH Life because they really don’t store or travel well, but you can prep and portion the fillings and sauce and then at lunch time, take a hot second to roll them

For once, I actually accomplished tacos on a Tuesday!

Anatomy of a carb load, daily for 3 days... I’m erring on the low side of ~3.5g per lb of body weight because a) my god, so much food and b) who do I think I am? and c) even though it will be my longest distance so far, 13.1 is shortish within

By request: these are the magical sundried tomatoes which I found in my produce section; they are neither tinny nor oily nor salty, and they may have brought me back into the sundried tomato fold.

As the weather gets warmer, I start to crave fresher and brighter food... go figure! This is a light veggie and chickpea stew with just a touch of coconut milk that I found on @food52. I was actually pretty skeptical, because I don’t generally

I am SINGING THE SONG of these “spicy and sweet” noodles from this month’s @bonappetitmag!!! They’re also just the right amount of sour. They check a million boxes for me, including the “mostly stuff I have already&rdquo

These Iraqi dolma from the @hubbcommunitykitchen cookbook, Together, are incredible! I’m so glad I pulled this book back off the shelf, and can’t wait to continue finding inspiration inside.

Look familiar? Told ya I was trying to make room in my freezer! I had a whole batch of filling left from last summer’s bologna balanzoni (teehee!) so I made a fresh batch of spinach pasta and made it all over again! It’s Bologna Balanzoni

Well, I’d better retire now. I’ve just made the best focaccia I’ll ever make, ever. Ever.
