I’ve acquired a number of e mail inquiries asking if I may share a day of my meals with you… and I’m lastly getting round to doing simply that! After all, I made a decision to partake within the What I Ate Wednesday pattern after I packed up my digicam, images set-up, and most of our dishes; so we’ll have to simply go along with good ol’ iPhone pics. Cool?
I kicked the time without work with a bowl (the final one not packed) of Barbara’s Unique Puffins, my mother’s home made granola (one of the best!) and a sliced banana (which I simply bought again into consuming after a few month-long hiatus).
I’m usually not an enormous chilly cereal fan in terms of breakfast, (I choose consuming it as a snack or dessert), however have been loving it currently! It doesn’t preserve me full for so long as oatmeal, however so long as I’ve a mid-morning snack (often some form of fruit), I’m good to go till lunch.
In the present day’s snack was a pair handfuls of natural cherries (no shock there). Perfection.
Lunch was packed right now, and consisted of a melange of meals (we’re making an attempt to empty the fridge and pantry earlier than the massive transfer).
Purple grapes & grape tomatoes (each natural – packed collectively, however eaten individually) + monterey jack cheese & Again to Nature Basic Spherical Crackers (assume all-natural Ritz crackers… not the healthiest selection maybe, however they style so good with cheese and grapes), and Stonyfield Natural Lemon 0% Yogurt + natural strawberries. My go-to yogurt is obvious Greek yogurt, however I had a number of coupons at no cost Stonyfield yogurt cups, and lemon simply sounded so gentle and refreshing… and it tasted fabulous with the candy chopped strawberries.
I additionally refilled this man a bunch of instances whereas I used to be out and about:
In any given week, John and I solely exit for dinner as soon as; however as a result of all of our pots, pans, and cooking utensils are packed, we’ve got been grabbing takeout all through this week.
Yesterday afternoon I ended by Complete Meals on my means residence, totally aspiring to get a to-go container of my favourite Corn & Poblano Chowder, however solely the dregs of the soup have been left within the pot (I’m assuming it’s because I went smack in between lunch & time for supper). I settled for the Indian meals scorching bar, which I’ve had from Complete Meals earlier than and appreciated.
Clockwise, from high left: Saag Paneer, Vegetable Biryani, Chana Masala, Hen Tikka Masala, and Lemon Rice.
A couple of notes.
- The cubes within the saag ended up being tofu, not cheese – main disappointment! I don’t dislike tofu, however whenever you’re anticipating paneer, it’s an enormous letdown.
- My excessive hopes for the vegetable biryani have been, sadly, dashed. There was an unfamiliar spice in there that I simply didn’t like.
- It’s not all dangerous information. The chana masala was wonderful! Higher than I’ve had in Indian eating places. The chickpeas have been the right texture of doneness, and the spice degree was spot-on.
- Each the hen tikka masala and the lemon rice have been fairly good… however nothing to put in writing residence about.
- The one factor lacking from this meal – properly, in addition to the paneer cheese – was a heat piece of fluffy of naan bread. C’mon Complete Meals, a lady’s gotta have her carbs!
Ethical of the story? The chana masala at Complete Meals is scrumptious… the opposite Indian dishes will not be value it.
A few hours after dinner, I polished off the previous couple of spoonfuls left in a container of Haagen-Dazs Strawberry Ice Cream (no, I did NOT eat all the pint!).
So there ya have it… a day of eats within the lifetime of me. I’d like to do one other put up of WIAW on a extra typical day – when we’ve got a totally stocked kitchen so I can eat extra veggies and a home-cooked dinner =).
*The following time I put up, we’ll be in our new home! Yaaaay!!*
