Spring Meal Plan

The spring meal plan is basically the winter meal plan. Because spring basically is winter, still.

Breakfast
Every day, pretty much - Oatmeal and Fruit Bits

But I also love me some Sunday breakfast at Hollywood Grill.

Lunch
Sunday - Creamed Vegetable Soup or Curried Vegetable Stew
Monday through Thursday - Creamed Vegetable Soup To Go or Curried Vegetable Stew
Friday and Saturday - whatever else is leftover in the fridge

Snack
Almost every day - Apple with Peanut Butter
Except Tuesday and Thursday - Baby Carrots with Hummus

I would eat apple with peanut butter every day, but I eat peanut butter sandwiches Tuesday and Thursday before practice & I know this is kind of friend of Ana, but I have a thing about eating the same food twice in the same period. Though I have stooped to counting creamy and crunchy peanut butter as different foods. I totally need peanut butter delivered to my house like Hinckley & Schmidt delivers water—

That leaves:

Dinner
Sunday is Choppers night!
Monday - Pasta Marinara alla Helsa or variations
Tuesday and Thursday - Peanut Butter Sandwich & OJ2O
Wednesday is LOST night. Which means I eat chips and salsa. And drink beer. For dinner.

I love being an adult.

I'm still playing with recipes for Friday and Saturday nights. Friday night I think is going to be baked potatoes or pizza, and then Saturday night I have some longer recipes with actual fresh ingredients. Right now, I have beef goulash in the oven.

I know, it's Sunday and it's supposed to be Choppers night. We had Choppers last night.

You can take advantage of a system's natural tendency to break down to avoid getting stuck in a rut.
