Lol- in reality I *should* be saving by eating at home versus ordering takeout but my grocery bills might beg to differ on that, these prices are still wacky as hell. It isssss what it isssss (and it's not good!!) -lol.
Okay this is kind of a recap of where I started in January but sticking to what works, works! As of now, I've learned I have to keep breakfast and lunch easy peasy if I'm going to eat healthier at home. I bought some eggs to try and kick my current Starbucks habit but keeping it totally real- I'm not too motivated on giving that up just yet. I can moderate my calories pretty well, plus it's something I look forward to that helps get me out the door in the mornings. They've also ruined me with the convenience of mobile ordering- I order as I'm leaving the house and by the time I arrive, it's always waiting on the counter for me. Consciously I know I need to dial it back a bit so maybe I'll aim to replace 1-2 of the days with eating at home.
The lunch plan that works for me is some type of deli meat + cheese with greek yogurt. It seems to be the easiest meal for me to get higher protein in with lower calories. I'm pretty sure I recapped all of this in my last grocery haul but I like to do the Oikos Greek Yogurt with some variation of meat/cheese roll-ups or a wrap/sandwich. I love these Hero Tortillas or this Hero Seeded Bread for that! Worth the splurge- great nutrition/ingredients + yummy.
We love a protein/potato/veggie dinner but I actually had some new ideas for this week. I found a Baked Mozzarella Tomato Chicken recipe that I want to try out so I grabbed the essentials for it and originally planned to also try the viral TikTok ground beef/sweet potato bowl (it's ground beef cooked with taco seasoning, cubed sweet potatoes, cottage cheese, avo + hot honey on top!), however it's getting pushed to the future. I ordered a new bottle of Mike's which hasn't come yet and they were sold out of cottage cheese so TBD on that. I also ended up finding chicken drumsticks on sale so we love an improv. I'll probably use my fave Greek seasoning for them- it's so easy and is great on chicken with a little lemon and EVOO.
Everyone did us a solid this week by putting all of the Yasso items on BOGO which I can never pass up and then you've always got a few stragglers, ya know? Mine this week is the Catalina Crunch Snack Mix (on BOGO at Publix!) plus two different breads which is rando, lol.
