I have a rather uninteresting week of food to report on, thanks to it being colonoscopy time. But…look at these beautiful leaves from my walk yesterday!
These ones are beautiful too, but they are poison ivy!
What I Spent
I spent:
- $14 at Giant
- $71 at Aldi
- $18 on curry takeout
So, $103.
What We Ate
Saturday
I have absolutely zero recollection of what I ate, but whatever it was, I know it had no seeds, nuts, or raw produce. Ha.
Sunday
I had two acorn squash staring me down, so I made a small batch of soup, using the basic method that I use for my butternut squash soup. This works pretty well, but the soup is never as beautiful as it is with butternut squash.
I also made a grilled cheese sandwich (on white bread, for no fiber!).
Monday
Colonoscopy prep day; I was on liquids all day, and then the prep + all the water started in the evening. So, I obviously did not make any dinner.
Tuesday
Colonoscopy day! They told me it was advisable to go gentle with the food choices afterward, so I heated up the rest of my squash soup and made a grilled cheese sandwich.
Wednesday
This was the day I did two exams and finished my chemistry class; after that, I was seriously fried. Zoe was out with a friend, so I decided to treat myself to some takeout panang curry with shrimp and it was so delicious.
Just what one needs after chemistry exams. 😉
Thursday
I’m working Friday and Saturday, so for dinner on Thursday, I made a pot of gnocchi soup so I could have leftovers for my lunches.
I also froze a portion in my new Souper cubes, as an experiment; my gut (which is informed by many other freezing experiences) says this soup will freeze well, but the only way to know for sure is to try!
Although, hmm, I wonder if the celery is going to be weird once thawed. What do you predict?
Friday
I’m eating my prepped overnight oats for breakfast, I have my soup packed for lunch today, and I will most likely eat a bowl of shredded wheat when I come home tonight.
What did you have for dinner this week?
