Meal Planning – Week 3

I really didn’t feel like getting out of bed this morning. It was one of those times where I was just to cozy under the blankets. *sigh* But up I got and felt much more awake after a nice shower! I was a bit pressed for time so I did my oats I the microwave again. Can’t beat 1 min 30 seconds!

-2/3 cup USVAB
-1/3 cup PC 5 grain cereal
-cinnamon
-raisins
-fresh blueberries
-walnut pieces

I got hungry before bed last night so I tried out a s’mores zbar;

I can see why DS has been hammering these babies back! Yum….

Monday’s are usually my fast day at work, but today was kinda slow. I imagine it was because there really wasn’t much to do. Meh, I survived! Before heading off to the gym I ate a whole whack of fresh blueberries;

I just love blueberries so much! I wish their season was a longer one.

I had a great run at the gym today. My legs were on the tired side, but it felt good to move after the weekend. Relaxing is a definite necessity in life, but I think moving about is so much more rewarding.

I rummaged around in the fridge last night for something to take for lunch today and came out with an Yves veggie sausage and the last of the sautéed onions and peppers.

These sausages are really yummy! I chased lunch with a few Hershey’s kisses;

I brought the bags to work to add some to the office candy dish, but had to hide them from myself so I didn’t eat them all day!

DS had hockey practice tonight so I picked DD up and went home to make a big pot of chili. I decided to use the bison I bought at Wegman’s on Friday.

Into the pot went a tbsp of basil infused olive oil, the bison, an onion, 2 red and 1 yellow bell pepper, a can of mushrooms, lentils, a can of 6 bean medley, 1 can of tomato sauce, chili powder, coriander, cumin, dried oregano, salt & pepper. I topped my bowl off with some goat’s milk yogurt and a wee bit of shredded mozzarella;

Ouch…that's bright!!! Here it is all mixed up.

DD shared her Kit Kat with me….

After I pick DD up from dance I plan of watching The Ugly Truth and enjoying a cuppa joe with some of this bad ass stuff in it;

OWWWWW!!! :D

Continuing on with my November challenge of planning our weekly meals, here is what week 3 is looking like…

I think this weeks plan will leave lots of extra leftovers for lunches too, which is a bonus. I can’t believe I’m on week 3 already!

Project Feed Me food choice for week 6 is canned beans and I’ll be preparing a post within the next few days to answers all the questions you guys sent me. There’s still time to ask if you didn’t get a chance last week! Bring it on! ;)

Bye for now!!
