review on week

So this is going to be a quick review on my meals for the week.

Monday
gave up and ate wings from wingstop. But during the day I just ate oatmeal.

Tuesday
Made caprese burgers

very very very bad. The pesto sauce tasted awful
The recipe asks me to mix salt and pepper into the burger. This was really really bad. The burgers were overcooked and super salty. I hated them. I will stick to how I ordinarily make burgers and my bison burgers. 

Had oatmeal and granola bar for lunch


Wed
Chicken pasta with mascarpone penne sauce. This could have been good. Unfortunately I lacked the correct portions of ingredients and overcooked the pasta. If I had cooked it right it might be ok. Did not taste good this week though.

bagel lunch

Thursday
Spaghetti and baked meatballs with the leanest ground beef over 90% lean. I also used trader joe's marinara. I discovered I do not like trader joe marinara. Very very bad. I will be sticking to ragu or prego from now on. The meatballs were good. I mixed in garlic and shallots into each ball. I like the idea of making meatballs like this. I am getting the portion size down too, we had no leftovers from last night.

Lunch
specialty sandwich

Friday

I will be having oatmeal granola for lunch.

Option 1
cook sausage fried rice at home (using bison sausage.)

Option 2
whatever george wants.

Saturday
uknown

Sunday
chicken with kale sauce
and kale salad

Meals for the week

So at work I am pretty much just eating oatmeal, and fruit. Its just easiest to pack and doesn't require me to drive anywhere and also cuts down on my lunch hour.

Errands for this week
1. return or exchange mirror at costco
2. shop around for vacuum cleaner
3. laundry
4. clean rooms
5. put up hook for my aprons in the kitchen
6. find out about CPA reqs and how much I need to get. (Already sent email, so waiting for response.)

Since I have a lot to do and am still recovering from being sick. I will need to plan on the meals for this week and go to the grocery store today.
