Sunday + Monday

Jeremy and I went to Uwajimaya and Target on Sunday. At Uwajimaya we bought hoisin sauce, chili garlic sauce, a Diet Dr. Pepper, some Japanese gummy candy for Winter, and an Orchard bar for me. We spent $9 there. At Target we mostly bought pet stuff, but we also picked up an energy drink and a box of Kashi granola bars, spending a total of $4.

I made pizza for dinner Sunday night. A gluten free one with almond cheese, peppers, and olives for me, and a regular one with peppers, olives, and pepperoni for Jeremy and Winter. I also made cookies with oats, GF flour, pureed dates, walnuts, dark chocolate chips, eggs, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. I thought they were really good but no one else likes them.

Breakfast: kiwi, banana, strawberry smoothie
Lunch: leftover navy bean and pepper soup, turkey and guacamole sandwich with lettuce
Dinner: pizza
Snacks/desserts: Orchard bar, wasabi rice crackers, clementines, dark chocolate oatmeal and walnut cookies
Beverages: water


Monday we spent no money on food. I didn't make anything for dinner. We all just fended for ourselves.

Breakfast: granola and nut milk
Lunch: leftover pizza, clementines, cookies
Dinner: turkey and pepper hummus sandwich with lettuce, Alpha-Bits with almond milk
Snacks/desserts: Kashi granola bar, cookies
Beverages: water

Soba noodles with chicken, veggies, and sweet spicy glaze

8.8 oz package of soba noodles

6 oz chicken breast

1 bell pepper, cut into strips

1 cup sliced mushrooms

1 T olive oil

1/2 cup apricot preserves

1 T rice vinegar

1 t chili garlic sauce

1 T powdered ginger

1/2 t soy sauce

2 cloves crushed garlic

1/4 cup slivered almonds

Boil water, add noodles, cook and drain. Set aside. Mix together preserves, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, ginger, soy sauce, and crushed garlic in a small bowl. Set aside. Saute mushrooms and peppers in olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Add chicken breast and saute until just cooked. Fold in sauce until chicken and vegetables are well coated. Top with slivered almonds. For the juiciest chicken, cover the pan and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes. You can mix the noodles right in, or serve them separately. The nutrition info is for 1/4 of the recipe.

This would probably also be good with peach or plum preserves.
