#MealPlanningMonday # 2

It's that time again. Monday definitely crept up on me this week! Our weekend was pretty full. Friday night we ate leftovers from the week and went to see The Martian. I didn't love it. Saturday after Matthew worked for a few hours we headed to his college campus for alumni weekend. We caught the alumni hockey game and then went out with some of his college friends after. It was a late night for sure! Sunday we slept in a bit and then grabbed brunch before heading to visit yet another couple who he befriended during his time at school. We didn't get home until a bit later Sunday evening so after watching the season finale of Fear the Walking Dead, I was out.

All of the above means I got no grocery shopping done this weekend and no blog post for the awesome salmon. Maybe tonight? So what did we eat? How did I do? Umm not good. Like at all.


You'll notice a couple of carry overs from last week. 50% of those happened so I felt good about that. Otherwise it was basically a fail all the way around.

Monday I did make the Thai Peanut Pasta. It was SO GOOD. 

Tuesday was supposed to be pizza night but it turned into leftovers night. 

Wednesday brought us homemade pizza and it was amazing. No pictures as I just threw everything together but we used a whole wheat crust from Whole Foods and topped it with roasted garlic alfredo, mild Italian sausage, caramelized onions and 2 kinds of shredded cheese - gouda and a coffee infused Italian white cheese we picked up at our local Kroger. One of Matthew's friends dropped by just as I was finished it up and he declared it the best pizza he had ever eaten and said he would pay me to make him some more. I call that a win.

Thursday must not have been very exciting because I can't even remember what we ate. I'm 99% sure I grabbed Taco Bell (My guilty pleasure. I know it's terrible. Don't judge me!) and Matthew ate leftovers again. (Shame on me...)

Friday I had the opportunity to end on a high note but instead, I ate cereal and he ate ramen and we went to the movies.

So basically last week was less successful than the one before. This week I am out of town Thursday for training and Friday I am going to see my sister so goal is dinner 3 nights this week. Wish me luck y'all!
