Today was leftovers day because I was too tired to figure out which meal to start with on Week 4 and I had leftovers from dinner last night. Sorry to be super boring. I was also super healthy though, which is a major plus!
I am pleased to announce that the grocery store has our unsalted almond butter again! This, of course, required an almond butter feast!
For breakfast I replaced my usual whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter and bananas with an upgraded whole wheat english muffin with almond butter! and bananas; 6 oz of low fat milk. It was delicious. Oh how I have missed almond butter! We'll have to buy it in bulk so we are never out of it again!
When I got to work I had a huge coffee. It was 100% necessary. I don't regret this decision.
My morning snack was obviously a slice of whole wheat bread with almond butter. If you are surprised by this, you should probably go back and read some more posts about how much I adore almond butter.
Ok great, welcome back. I love almond butter.
For lunch I had leftovers from dinner last night. It was a little weird to eat shrimp at work, but I don't really care what my coworkers think anymore.
For my afternoon snack, I had some cut up red pepper with 2 oz of hummus. I'm starting to think that buying the bulk "to go" packets of hummus from Costco was a bad idea because we have 9 left and they all must be eaten by March 8. 5 days to eat 9 hummus packages. Sigh. It was totally convenient though and made taking hummus to work so easy that even if I have to throw out some it was probably worth it in the long run.
MJ also made a smoothie, and I had about a 1/2 cup.
For dinner I searched through the cookbook until I could find a meal that could be made entirely from things we already had in the house. I found a recipe for turkey and black bean soft tacos. Bingo! The recipe only calls for tortillas, ground turkey, salsa, romaine lettuce and low-sodium black beans. I was thrilled that we had all 5 ingredients. I was not thrilled, however, with the meal. It was just plane jane boring and pretty tasteless. We even used a fun southwestern salsa and the meal was still pretty bland. We will not be making these again. But at least we didn't make an extra efforts for the ingredients, right?
