What I Ate Monday
This week has been a little crazy. Alex and my dad are remodeling our bathroom which means right now, we have no bathroom. As a result, we’ve been spending a couple of nights at my parent’s house. It’s almost like we’re visiting from out of town for Thanksgiving š As a result of the house chaos, I haven’t really been cooking much.
After I left my parent’s house and got back home, I had a lot of work to do so I didn’t have time to make much of a breakfast. I just grabbed a quick bowl of cereal.
I had a lot of work stuff going on so I spent most of the morning on the phone. In between meetings I snacked on a few clementines.
I grabbed a bag of these over the weekend and I’ve been eating them like crazy. I was battling a mild cold over the weekend so I was using it as an excuse to snack on these.
All of the sudden I realized it was almost 2:00 and I hadn’t eaten lunch. I grabbed one of my go-to frozen meals.
I actually really like these enchiladas. There not really anything special but they have a good flavor and a decent amount of protein.
Once Alex and my dad were done with the renovations, we packed up and headed back to my parent’s house for dinner. We had pizza from Leonardo’s which was really good. The veggie pizza was loaded with veggies.
While my mom and I hung out in the kitchen, she whipped up these chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, which were delicious.
I will be in the kitchen today, prepping a dish for the Thanksgiving table! My wonderful sister in law is hosting and the menu sounds absolutely amazing. I’m just contributing this butternut squash and wild rice salad to the mix! I’m so excited to spend the day with family tomorrow!
What do you eat on busy days?
Iām linking up with Arman for What I Ate Wednesday!
I remember when I used to TEAR THROUGH Clementines like it was my job – however, I would ONLY suck the juice out of them! haha!
I meal prep for busy weeks so I busy weeks are really no different than not so busy weeks.
Good luck with the Renos! I’m sure it will be beautifiul and well worth it once it’s completed!
That cookie looked great! I remember when we were remodeling our two bathrooms. We had to run to the store to use the restroom! Don’t even ask what we did when we remodeled the kitchen. LOL The stove sat in the living room for a couple days!
For busy days I usually always stick with what is easy – yogurt and cereal, quick and simple salads and lots of veggies and dip. I find quick and easy snacks the best way for me to stay the most productive. And House renovations are the worst!!
if im eating at home, its usually egg with toast or something easy like that..otherwise, i live really really close to restaurants so its just easier to eat out. have a lovely time with your loved ones.
I love butternut squash and wild rice salads! Those are some of my fall favorites! I also love dark chocolate chip oatmeal cookies- yum!! Hope you have a great holiday season!
Busy days it all depends but I have my go to Go Macro Bars, green juices, smoothies, fruits, veggies, ect. Loving Cuties right now, as is my family! Remodeling this time of year is crazy. Last Thanksgiving we were down one of our bathrooms, the whole main level was being remodeled from the day after Halloween until the week before Christmas with some other remodeling going on around the house but everything cleaned out of the main floor including the whole kitchen. I had a lot of bars, yogurt parfaits, fruits, veggies, and a lot more eating out and some nights of cereal.
We do eat pizza every Friday–both of us are just too tired to cook and it’s become kind of a tradition! But the rest of the week, I plan meals and we eat well.
That’s a fun tradition! It’s always nice to take a night off š
