So last month, Nate and I made the decision to start eating less processed foods, more vegetables and less red meat. Ew! Why??
1 Hard-Boiled Egg
1 Medium Banana
Slice Whole Wheat toast with Strawberry Preserves
1 Bottle Odwalla Orange Juice
HOLY HELL! How do people eat this much food before 9am?? This seriously took me over an hour to eat. But I do love the juice.
When I was boiling the eggs, I thought I'd be smart and boil 5 or 6 at a time for the week. Turned the eggs on, went upstairs to answer a few emails really quick while they cooked.
1 email turned into 6, 1 chat turned in 50. Whoops. Only 2 eggs exploded. Not bad.
One day I will even learn how to de-shell eggs. Im pretty sure I lost half the egg in the de-shelling process.
Lunch: 2:00 PM
Time to eat again!?!?!? But I just ate!
Also, I am pretty sure I spent more time in my kitchen this week than I have in the month prior.
I found this recipe somewhere on Pinterest. I don't remember where it was and I'm pretty sure I didn't even follow it. Because I suck at following recipes. But I tried to write out how to do this below.
Ingredients:
3 large eggs (I use Organic, Pasture-Raised eggs. These are slightly expensive, though. So use whatever you want)
1/2 cup-ish Cheddar Cheese cubed
1/2 cup-ish Turkey I used Boar's Head Oven-Roasted which I diced up..(Actually just sort of whacked repeatedly with a very sharp knife.)
1-2 cups Broccoli
1 Whole Wheat tortilla
1/2 tablespoon butter (Use the real stuff if you can. Margarine is the devil's grease)
1) Heat pan with butter (without burning it! I failed on that part)
2) Mix Turkey, Cheese, Eggs and Broccoli in a bowl.
3) Once pan is heated, toss in mixture and cook until done. Whatever done means to you. I pulled it when the eggs were cooked. The cheese hadn't melted completely which makes me wonder if I should have shredded it for it to melt quicker. But the slight cheese chunks added some interesting texture.
4) YAY it's cooked! Now toss it in the tortilla, wrap it up and devour.
I was actually quite happy with this. It was extremely filling and very quick to make. Definitely something I'd eat again. Not sure how healthy it is. But it can't be too bad.
Dinner: 4:00 PM
So this was about the time I realized that the soup I had planned, was totally not going to work. I looked at the cook time wrong, instead of 2 hours, it had to cook for 6-8
So I made crockpot Macaroni and Cheese instead. It would have been great if I remembered to keep it plugged in....
So that is Day 1. Nothing crazy, I also didnt get a chance to snack because I was way too full from the Breakfast and Lunch.
Day 2 brings us more eggs and tuna and a soup that I finally got to make! Come back tomorrow for that!
