The last couple weeks have been very busy. I had one class end and another begin which meant a final exam in addition to midterms for my other classes. My wife also started a new project at work and has been getting home late. This means take out most nights during the week and very little real food. While some take out is better than others, overall it all contains many extra ingredients and calories.
As life calms down a little we are planning to start November refocused on cooking more and adding more real food options to out regular diet. This means creating a weekly menu of meals for dinner each weekend followed by a trip for fresh vegetables and fruit at the farmer's market as well as food shopping on Sunday to get the remainder of the items needed including meat and fish. I know once we get in the routine it will get easier and will not only be healthier but also save us money on our food budget. Next weekend when we go the farmer's market I will take pictures of some of the many vegetables available in the fall.
Here here! I have the same problem. We love fresh vegetables and fruit, and try to make healthy choices, but when you are on the go, it is not always easy to put aside the time to shop and make meals. I can't wait to see what's cooking next in your kitchen!
ReplyDeleteStay strong! Once you get out of this rut it will get better. Always remember life is going to happen but don't let it slow you down. I buy a huge bag of apples and pears and keep them at work and home. They are easy for a quick on the go snack.
