devilgrrlI need to figure out what those brightly coloured housewives with the wise ass sayings are called to I can make an icon.
We scooted to Whole Foods around 5 because we were a) out of food and b) bored. Mum gave us a selection of various Omaha Steak Company meats, including Italian Chicken breasts, a beef strew, and sole almondine. I was not a fan of what we had for veg, so ostentatiously, that's what we went for.
We ended up buying salad, grape tomatoes, Meyer lemons for lemon meringue pie, whole wheat flour, three tins of beans (garbanzo, black eyed, and navy), a large tin of crushed tomatoes, mixed frozen veg, edamame, barley, and a pound of ground beef. I'm currently making veg soup and it smells good.
Total damage: $29.61
I like this recipe because all I have to do is dump everything into a pot and let it simmer for a few hours. That will probably be lunch for the rest of the week, along with salad. It also changes every time you make it, depending on what ingredients you add (like mushrooms, which I love, or sauces.) I used chipolte sauce, garlic powder, white pepper, and sea salt this go-round. Other add-ins will be barley, mixed veg, and edamame.
Dinner is going to be sole almondine, salad, and broccoli... maybe a potato if Steven wants it. I <3 me some potato with greek yoghurt.
Maybe we really will do better about minding our health this year.
