Long time no see.
Lately, I've been struggling to NOT buy food at lunch. The reasons for this vary,but usually end up on the theme of "I don't have anything quick to bring to lunch today" or "I'm really tired of eating this same thing over again". Solution? Meal planning.
Today is Tuesday and I just got back from Thanksgiving, so this week is easier to plan for, which is a good first start to a week.
Breakfasts I have more or less sorted out. Sauteed chopped veggies with two eggs, toast if need be. If I'm running late and need to leave before breakfast, I can go with oatmeal at work instead.
Grocery shopping today: Chili ingredients, breakfast ingredients, salad ingredients.
Cooking today: Dumplings
Cooking tomorrow: (Slow cooker) Chili
Tuesday Lunch: General Tzo's chicken
Tuesday Dinner: (Snacks, salad maybe) Will probably not be very hungry
Wednesday Lunch: Leftover stuffing, roasted vegetables, glazed carrots
Wednesday Dinner: Bean Chili
Thursday Lunch: Dumplings
Thursday Dinner: Salad + Pollock burgers
Friday Lunch: Chili
Friday Dinner: Lentils, or salad, or dumplings.
On Saturday, I will re-evaluate how many servings of food I have left and plan out next week's menu.
In addition, I am going to start keeping an index of recipes and their shopping lists in Evernote.
