Well, we've flipped the day off, so now we are working Tuesdays through Sundays, meaning that my most recent prep day was Monday. Nevertheless, I do apologize for not posting until today, Saturday. It's already almost prep day all over again!

Though, I kinda don't apologize, because this is all about self-care, right? I cook for self-care, and I rest and hang with the dog and read for self-care. I do love the writing and sharing, but I have needed to grab my rest where I can get it these days. It has been important. I hope you don't mind the late share.

This has been a wonderful week of food. I made sure I used up ingredients that would otherwise go to waste. I gave into some cravings. I tried some new things. I treated myself like gold. I've finally nipped my snacking in the bud. And I saved some dough! (No pun intended, even though yeah... I made pizzas this week.)

Here is what I've prepped this week!

• breakfasts: high protein waffles... this time with yogurt
• lunch/dinner: pizza with braised fennel, caramelized onions, and green olives
• lunch/dinner: egg salad with mustard and pickles
• lunch/dinner: barley soup with greens
• snacks: left over oranges and yogurts from last week

And here's the grand total for what I spent...

Total monies spent for the entire week of meals: $23.35

Average monies: $3.34/day

Yeah! Pizza during tech and previews! Anything is possible!
