What We Ate

Saturday

This was my second day of working my regular job at the hospital, and when I came home, I ate a ham sandwich, showered, and went to bed.

Sunday

Zoe had a cold and wanted some chicken noodle soup and a grilled cheese. I had avocado toast, though, because I dislike canned chicken noodle soup!

Monday

I have no pictures and also no recollection of what I made for dinner. And I am going to stop sitting here racking my brain trying to remember.

(I had to google to see if it’s “wrack” or “rack” and apparently the latter is correct!)

Tuesday

This was a clinical day so I was at the hospital until 8:30 and I ate my packed dinner (I made a chicken/tortellini/veggie pasta salad). I’m still maintaining my streak of not buying hospital food. 😉

Wednesday

I made some potato and chorizo tacos with avocado (and sour cream, which was unpictured!)

Thursday

I made this mandarin chicken salad, which I haven’t made in eons.

Here’s what it looks like in the light of day (picture from my files):

And here’s what it looks like with a phone snapshot after the sun goes down. Ha.

I have lots of extra dressing, which I will happily use on some greens (I often eat a little bowl of dressed lettuce with my eggs and toast in the morning).

Friday

I need to find out if Zoe will be here; I think she has plans with a friend, but I’m not clear if they include dinner or not. If she’s out for dinner, I think I’m gonna make myself some whole wheat blueberry pancakes for dinner. 🙂

What did you have for dinner this week?

Those kitties look sweetly demure (: I've been averaging around $75, but that includes non food items as well. This week I added in a $15 bottle of calcium tablets. And trying not to eat out more than once, making it stretch for two meals. This week there was not all that much cooking: Monday - kitchen closed. I got some grilled chicken nuggets and a small order of waffle fries on my way home from work at 7:30, because we were so busy I couldn't stop to eat what I had planned. Tuesday - (freezer) Pasta and Sauce with the rest of a bag of frozen brussels sprouts Wednesday - Taco Salad, and much later, a bowl of bran flakes... Thursday - (freezer) Chicken Pot Pie, which was marginal in taste and full of salt, so I won't be doing that again Tonight - Crockpot Chicken Drums, mixed greens **Today I'm going to buy a dinner portion of Chinese food and split it between lunch and a weekend meal.

What I Spent: This was a no spend week. That doesn't happen very often. Whoopie! What I Ate: Sunday I had dinner at my daughter's house. She made a delicious pot roast and sent me home with two plates of leftovers. Monday was homemade pizza. Tuesday was stew. Wednesday was a Mexi-Mix casserole gifted to me by my daughter. Thursday I made a chicken pot pie. Tonight, I am making a marinara sauce and serving it with spaghetti.

@Sandra, I am so looking forward to dinner invites and leftovers from my adult kids!!
