This past week was a hodgepodge of meals and we ate everything from convience food to fruit and cheese platters. Some weeks are like that I guess. Real life. It stinks. And you really just have to go with the flow and don’t sweat the small stuff to get through the harder times. 🙁
Here’s what we bought last week:
Fred Meyer $13.63
I wasn’t planning on buying a stalk of brussel sprouts when I popped into Fred Meyer last week but at only $3.50 for a 4 pound stick of goodness I couldn’t resist. And yes, I stood there in the produce section weighing a bunch of them so I could get the best deal. Please tell me I’m not the only one who does that.
Costco $14.46
You can never go wrong with a big salad for dinner. Especially when you are trying to use up the reaming heirloom tomatoes from your garden. I pretty sure I could live the rest of my life eating a big salad everyday for lunch or dinner. The possibilities are endless, wouldn’t you agree?
Costco – My Mother’s version of stocking up for the storm. {The Doritos were for Monkey Boy of course}.
Here are some of the meals we ate last week:
Sunday breakfast. Scrambled eggs and scones. The perfect combination if you ask me.
Fish and Brussel sprouts.
What my mother eats for dinner almost every single night at home.
And in the hospital as well.
Lunch with my dad and possibly the best turkey and cranberry sauce sandwich I’ve ever had.
Pumpkin pie, Caesar salad and a flatbread sandwich.
Meals from Valley Food Storage.
I seriously think I’ve gained at least 5 pounds this past week from all the hospital food my mother and I ate. For some reason eating is comforting… even when you’re not hungry.
Everything’s better with ice cream. Or so the nurse said.
