Friends, I must
tell you that today’s post is not my finest work. This week was filled to
overflowing with eating away from home, and more often than not, healthy options
did not reign supreme. This is not how we live on the regular, so I am not
angry with myself over it, but I offer you a smattering of ideas that (in some cases)
probably didn’t nourish body or soul in the best of ways.
Monday: Leftover Chicken Salad and Pizza King
Thoughts: This was my last night at home
before leaving for my schooling adventure, so we ate the last of the leftovers.
I ate the last of the chicken salad I had made, and Ryan ate the last of the
Pizza King pizza. Note: Ryan was on his own for meals the rest of the week and does
a great job cooking when I’m not around! He didn’t document his meals, so most
of this just features my meals.
Tuesday: Quesadilla
Thoughts: Our student group went out to a
Mexican restaurant in Richmond, and I ordered a quesadilla. I was super impressed
at how full of chicken and veggies it was. I feel like quesadillas are usually
flat and mostly filled with cheese. This one was good! (I didn't eat the rice or lettuce.)
Wednesday: Lasagna
Thoughts: Our student group went to an Italian
restaurant this evening, and it was all about the pasta! (There were salad options,
but I ate salads at lunch each day and, well, salads are a little sketchy right
now, so I didn’t want to press my luck.) I decided to order lasagna, because I never
have it and don’t like making it (because it’s so labor intensive). It was SO
GOOD. I ate less than half of this massive serving and brought the rest home to
Ryan.
Thursday: Leftover Salad/Lasagna
Thoughts: I was worthless for cooking when I
came home Thursday, so Ryan ate the rest of the lasagna and I ate the rest of a
salad I’d gotten for lunch one of the days I was at school. Yay for lefotvers!
Friday:
Chicken and
Fries
Thoughts: Ryan and I were invited to the rehearsal
dinner for the wedding he DJ’d this weekend. The dinner was held at a local
seafood restaurant, and the meals were all-you-can eat baskets. We could eat at
the salad bar, but again…I was trying to be cautious. From there, the options
were fried chicken, fried fish, and French fries!
Saturday: Burgers and Spinach Berry Salad
Thoughts: We were so hungry I absolutely
forgot to get a picture of our dinner! We had small group and had grilled
burgers that were SO GOOD. I took a very carefully prepared and thoroughly washed
spinach berry salad!
Sunday: Burgers and Spinach Berry Salad
Thoughts:
We haven’t been to
the store in over a week and are out of almost everything, so I used the last
of our ground turkey to make burgers and we had leftover salad!
Here’s to a
better week of true nourishment.

I really dislike (trying not to say "hate") restaurants that only have fried foods!
I have only been there once before, so I'm not super familiar with the menu, but I think they have other options...but since we were a party, there was a specific party menu. I enjoyed my chicken and fries...it was grilled under the breading, right? LOL!
