I've been bad this week!

Saturday evening, I planned this whole week's menu, and haven't used my kitchen once!  I haven't even brought lunch to work... I'm spending way too much on food this week.  Hopefully I'll get back into a routine for next week.  I desperately need to go to Publix Saturday.

Mon - Ordered pizza (had friends over for 24)
Tues - had dinner at goddaughter's house (spaghetti)
Wed - dinner at parent's house
Thurs - getting home late so prob pickup something on the way home... or eat at in laws.
Fri - I suppose I'll make some pizza, but something always comes up last min.
Sat - DH said today he wanted to grill some steaks he got last month... so I'll pob pair it with my famous sweet potatoes.
Sun - dinner w/ inlaws.

So, who's behaved good this week?  Come on showoffs!  LOL

  • I've been good, but not out of choice. lol We have no money so couldn't go out and buy and junk food or sweets.

    Just had to eat the healthy stuff that had already been bought ahead of time at home. lol

  • I have been doing ok. I have cooked every night at home but I have been not eating very well at work. Like this morning I had Mcdonald's sausage biscuit and coffee. I dont know what  I'm having  for lunch I'm not really hungry. I'm making something with chicken tonight. Maybe a salad? DH will like that.

     

     

  • I haven't been so good. The headaches I've had have made it really difficult to be motivated to cook dinner. We ordered pizza Tues day night and DH had leftovers last night. I had no appetite, but I ate a slice of homemade bread. I'm vowing to get back on track tonight, though! The chicken is thawing in the fridge...
  • I've cooked every night this week like pp. But desperately need to go to Publix, too. We had chicken enchiladas last night, and the only food I have left in the freezer are two packages of more chicken! Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday.
  • DH has been working lots of nights, so I've been pretty good eating veggie burger patties and cans of beans. I get happy knowing I can have a can of beans for dinner.  Am I the only one like this?
  • I'm not a big fan of beans. I dont like their texture.
  • I love beans Claire!

    Dj has cooked for the last two nights, and the other two we ate out. Today we are having breakfast for dinner, omelete with bacon and biscuits. I am in the mood for bacon and we didnt get a chance to eat breakfast today.

  • its ok jackie-- just try it for next week.  every now and then we all need a week of relaxing from the kitchen

    I'm the same way, and luckily so is my future H. Baked, black, red, kidney, black-eyed and even refried beans... I love them all :)

    Yeah! I'm not the only one. I can eat any beans you put in front of me. Sometimes I just enjoy not eating meat at a meal.  

    Tonight we had taco/burrito night (kind of a late Cinco de Mayo celebration). It was really good. DH made his with ground meat and I had shrimp with grilled onions and bell peppers.  Loved that I didn't have to share my shrimp with anyone else. 

  • Claire, I'm the exact same way, I try to not have meat every day of the week so beans definitely help with that :)

    And lucky you not having to share your shrimp - that's always a bonus! Shrimp w/grilled onions and bell peppers sound delicious.

  • Thanks. One of the best things about DH is that he doesn't like seafood. As the youngest of 17 grandchildren, I never got enough seafood at family gatherings.  Love, love, love that I don't have to share. Big Smile
  • Wow! I am so jealous that you don't have to share. Future DH and I both love seafood. And youngest of 17, that sounds like so much fun! I'm the eldest of four Angel
