What I Ate [From a Package] Wednesday

Yesterday was full of packaged food.

Calm down.

While I do agree that an abundance of processed/packaged/preservative-ridden food isn’t exactly idea, I’m willing to make exceptions. I think there is some good stuff out there! So here we go.

A What I Ate Wednesday Exclusive. I’ve also included links to all of the nutritional info on the store-bought stuff, if you’re into that sort of thing…

Breakfast:

A lovely bowl of my new-favorite-cereal: Fiber One Honey Clusters.

Morning Snack:

New Special K Peanut Butter and Chocolate Granola Bar, with some Diet Lipton Green Tea.

YUM. I used to drink tons of this tea in high school, and I’d forgotten about it for awhile. My love for it has returned. And hey, it’s cheaper than Kombucha!

Fun fact: I used to eat literally 3 servings of Special K with Strawberries in the morning, but I picked out all of the freeze dried berries because they’re nasty on their own, and I didn’t put milk in my cereal. So there you go.

Does anyone else find a morning snack necessary to function?

 

 

 

 

Lunch:

Pacific Foods Vegetable and Lentil Soup

Tasty!!!! Oh my gosh this soup was so good. The box is supposedly 2 servings, but come on. It’s lunch for one. Who divides this boxes into two meals?

Afternoon Snack:

I’m usually starving when I get home from work. But all the fiber in that soup kept me pretty content until I got home. Of course, I still needed something when I got home. So I decided to have an apple + peanut butter. (At least these weren’t packaged!)

Dinner:

Yep, this was a package too. (What? Stop looking at me like that.)

Tortellini topped with some olive oil, parmesan cheese, salt and red pepper flakes. It was so simple, and I really liked it. Galen didn’t like it, but I think it’s because he mixed it with that Philadelphia cream cheese sauce stuff. Bleh.

I also had a simple salad (which actually didn’t come from a bag. So be proud of me.)

My resolutions post from Monday was rather broad, and while those are still my main resolutions, I thought of a few others:

• Pack my lunch at least 3 days a week. (I can still get a simple side salad from work for under a buck, so I’ll probably keep doing that! Simple way to get in my veggies!)
• Spend less $$$ on food in general. I’d say spend less at the grocery store, but that means I’d end up buying my lunch at work more often… so I’m just going to say spend less on food in general
• Finish things 100%. I’m super guilty of doing everything almost all the way. So my room is sort of clean. My closet is basically organized. My to-do list is almost complete. I want to really get things done this year!

One last thing… if you live in Richmond, I’m working on a RVA Restaurant Review Page! It’s now posted in one of the tabs up at the top. Most of the posts aren’t true “restaurant review” posts (just posts where the meal was in the post), but I’ll try to add more in the future!

What’s your favorite packaged food?
