Happy Friday, everyone! My slightly controversial take for today is that chicken is better than steak. Please see my comments on Sunday’s meal. 😉
What I Spent
I spent:
So, $80 this week. 🙂
What We Ate
Saturday
Zoe wasn’t here, so I cobbled together a dish using shrimp, some leftover corn/cilantro/lime mixture, a jalapeno, and some other veggies.
Sunday
Steak plus broccoli, and some sweet potatoes. Eating the steak reminded me that I am not a particular fan of steak; I honestly just find chicken and seafood easier to prepare and eat.
But hopefully the beef helped boost my iron a little. 😉
(Also, if you think steak is better than chicken/seafood, no hate. I just disagree. And unfortunately, my iron levels do reflect this preference. Ha.)
Monday
Sweet potato, shrimp, and sauteed broccoli, for a pretty basic meal!
Tuesday
I had a very late lunch, and was not hungry at dinnertime, so I just ate some fruit and called it good.
Wednesday
I worked, and I actually used my cafeteria certificate to buy lunch (my floor manager gave these out when we came in to work during that snow/ice storm, so I’d been holding onto mine for a while!)
I got a walking taco, which is basically a bag of chips with whatever taco fillings you ask for. I chose meat, queso, guacamole, lettuce, and pico de gallo. Super good.
When I came home, I made a raisin bran-ish bowl of cereal by combining bran flakes and raisins.
I figured it would be sort of like raisin bran, except with less added sugar, but honestly, I missed the cereal raisins because they have a particular texture that I’m used to.
The self-added raisins were too plump and they didn’t feel quite right.
Thursday
I was off, and I made some butter chicken so that it could serve as dinner and also as packed lunches for the next two days.
Friday
I’m working today and tomorrow, which means tonight is a tight turnaround. I predict some cereal.
Or a fruit and yogurt bowl.
But of course I will be having butter chicken for lunch, so my midday meal will be at least somewhat substantial!
What did you have for dinner this week?
