Happy Hump Day, ya'll. I did a little mini, mid-week grocery run for a few staples to finish the week off. I'm still a go out to eat gal at heart, however I'm trying to incorporate more cooked meals at home for better nutrition. We're doing a classic protein/veggie/carb this week with some ground beef, green beans + sweet potato which is easy peasy. I usually bake my sweet potatoes but I cubed them this time in the air fryer and they were so good- less mashed vibes and more like a sweet potato fry in flavor. Super yummy!
My other superrrrrr creative idea is more bagel pizzas, lol. With a Hero protein bagel + some cottage cheese mixed in the sauce, I can get in over 30 grams of protein for around 350 calories. I wasn't sure what I'd think about putting cottage cheese in things, however it's kind of tasteless? I think it gives a sour, wangy flavor to sauces but it always still tastes like whatever I'm making. I also (surprisingly) don't mind the texture... for the pizzas I've both blended it in to sauce + just mixed it in and it was basically the same. I don't know that I'll be eating it on it's own anytime soon but it's nice for adding in a little extra protein to meals!
That's really the gist for "meals" in this haul- not too exciting, lol. Also a quick psa- I learned how to cut a pineapple this week which is too easy? Honestly you look at them and it just seems like a hassle but I had a wild hair this week to try and it was so easy. Also delish- nothing beats fresh!
+ Good Culture Cottage Cheese
