Stocking up


As soon as we got home from work yesterday, we sat down and began planning our meals for the week. We found a couple of recipes on Tasty Paleo, and we came up with a few on our own.

I don't usually spend much time in the center aisles at the grocery store, but the only reason I needed to go there at all was for:
  • Organic unsalted tomato sauce
  • Basil (we were running low)
  • Sundried tomatoes (only one kind had just "tomatoes" in the ingredients)
My cart was almost full after just finishing with the fruits and veggies, as you can see in the photo.

I spent around the same amount I usually spend on groceries every week, which was especially interesting because we had just come back from vacation and were restocking everything.

I didn't make it home from the store until 8:00 PM, so we didn't have time to roast a chicken like we had planned for Monday night's meal. Instead, we put some steaks on the grill, lightly seasoned with some pepper, garlic and thyme. I sauteed some bell peppers and onions in olive oil and made up chimichurri sauce to go with the steak. It turned out really good. For dessert, I had a nectarine, and David had some frozen blueberries.

Since we didn't finish dinner until almost 9:30 PM, there wasn't time for a workout. Other than that, the first day went pretty well.
