Hello - it was a pretty good day.
The thing I am most proud of for today is that I managed to plan out this weeks WFPB menu, then I went shopping to buy what I needed. (Food planning is always a challenge for me... I don't really know why, but it is!)
I also cleaned out and organized the pantry - hopefully in such a way that I will waste less food (usually because I can't find something I "thought" I had, so then I go buy more, and by the time I find the one I lost, it has gone bad) and I can start to feel more confident using WFPB staples. I went to the Good Earth market, and they had lots of things available in the bulk bins... I think it this new system works as I envision, the pantry should stay better organized, planning the shopping list should be easier, and I should spend less money. Here's hoping!
Another fun thing is that I found a cookbook titled "Simply Fresh" in my pantry (I have a LOT of cookbooks). I don't remember how or where I came by this particular book, but as I flipped through, I LOVE it! It has basic ingredient, WFPB meals, that look pretty easy to prepare, and fairly family friendly. Most of the meals I planned for this week came from that book.
Food Log:
Breakfast - an almond cherry breakfast "cookie on the go," then later, some cinnamon oat pancakes topped with fresh strawberries & 100% maple syrup.
Lunch - I can't remember... I wonder if I accidentally missed lunch...?
Dinner - Taco salad (sin carne)
Snacks - handful of pistachios & a handful of no added sugar "chocolatey trail mix". Another WIN from today (in additional to organizing the pantry)... is that Caleb made a batch of brownies - and I didn't eat any. even better, was that it wasn't killing me... I mean, I love chocolate, but it wasn't like I was battling myself to NOT eat a brownie.
