Monday breakfast date
I am working on Mondays now in exchange for having Sunday's off. Monday is Jeremy's other day off so he asked if I wanted to go out for breakfast before work. We went to Charlie's, an old restaurant in Capitol Hill that we used to go to often.
Jeremy got the chicken fried steak with hash browns and scrambled eggs. I got fried eggs served on a tostada with black beans, pico de gallo, cheese, avocado, and tortilla chips and a side of hash browns. I also got some orange juice. We spent a total of $29 including tax and tip.
We thawed out some spaghetti sauce from the freezer for dinner and Jeremy cooked some egg noodles with a little butter to eat with it. It was better than I thought it would be. Egg noodles don't seem to go with spaghetti sauce in my mind.
Breakfast: huevos rancheros, hash browns
Lunch: left over habanero mac and cheese, clementine
Dinner: egg noodles with leftover spaghetti sauce
Snacks/desserts: lime sherbet
Beverages: orange juice, water

Saturday and Sunday
I'm going to get caught up since I have a day off today. I promise. Saturday I worked until 7:30. Winter went to a play at her school at 7:00 pm, so she didn't get home until later. Jeremy and I stopped at Menchie's on the way home, which cost $11.97. Jeremy went to the gym for a little while after I got home, so I just heated up something from the freezer.
Breakfast: skipped
Lunch: Campbell's cheeseburger soup, dried figs, celery with red pepper hummus
Dinner: TGIFriday's bacon cheese fries (frozen)
Snacks/desserts: Oreo cookie frozen yogurt with cream cheese frosting topping and brownie bites
Beverages: water
Sunday was my day off. Jeremy decided he wanted to get 30,000 steps in that day, so we did a lot of walking. I didn't do quite as much as he did, but I got at least 20,000 in. I had acupuncture in the morning and he met me after I was done.
He stopped on the way and bought a Rock Star for $2.29. I also got a pumpkin bread at Starbucks for $2.68 as I was finally getting pretty hungry. We went to QFC after that. We bought 5 lbs of clementines for $4.99, 6.85 lbs of honeycrisp apples for $12.89, and a protein drink for $1.99.
We walked back to the apartment, and dropped off the fruit, then Winter walked with us to the Target downtown to pick up cat food. They had dog clothes in the One Spot for $3.00 each and Winter bought a t-shirt, and a quilted jacket for the cats. They were not excited about the new clothes. At all. I also got a limited edition lemonade Mt. Dew for $1.69 which we all shared, some holiday Twizzlers for $1.00, and some white chocolate peppermint M&M's for $3.29. We ate the candy while we watched the Lego Movie later that night.
After we got back from Target I made mac and cheese out of campanelli pasta and a mix of regular and habanero jack cheeses. Jeremy made salsa chicken with rice, sour cream, and a little habanero cheese for dinner.
Breakfast: Starbucks pumpkin bread
Lunch: habanero mac and cheese, honeycrisp apple
Dinner: salsa chicken with rice, sour cream, and cheese
Snacks/desserts: holiday Twizzlers and white chocolate peppermint M&M's

I brought some extra food with me to work so I could just eat on the way. Afterwards I went to the grocery store.

Monday and Tuesday
Monday is normally my day off, but they needed extra coverage, so I went in. I woke up early again, and made a smoothie for breakfast with milk, a strawberry Petite Cream, frozen strawberries and bananas, and some green apple slices.
I was feeling lazy and didn't pack a lunch. I went to Menchie's partway through the morning and got some pineapple sorbet with raspberries and strawberries, which cost $5.37. Then in the early afternoon I went to QFC and bought a frozen fried chicken and mashed potato entree for $2.99, a pint of chocolate milk for $1.39, and a bag of jalapeno kettle chips for $1.09.
The only bad thing about the beginning of the month is that I have a good amount of money to work with so it's way too easy to be lazy and I wind up eating much more poorly as well.
I wound up not being hungry for dinner at all, which may have had to do with my 1200 calorie late lunch. Winter had picked up some Ramen and a can of corn with her allowance on her way home from school and wasn't really hungry either. Jeremy ate something, though I am not sure what.
Breakfast: smoothie with milk, strawberry Petite Cream, frozen strawberries and bananas, and green apples
Lunch: frozen fried chicken with mashed potatoes, corn, and gravy, jalapeno kettle chips
Dinner: skipped
Snacks/desserts: candy corn, pineapple sorbet with berries
Beverages: water, chocolate milk
Tuesday went better. I worked at the airport. I ate breakfast at home, packed a lunch, and Jeremy made tacos for dinner. No food was purchased yesterday.
Breakfast: vanilla Petite Cream, whole wheat bagel with cream cheese
Lunch: peanut butter and honey sandwich, banana
Dinner: beef tacos with lettuce, cheese, salsa, and sour cream
Snacks/desserts: coffee ice cream with goat milk caramel
Beverages: water

Sunday eatings
Man, I am really falling behind on this. Tuesday is almost over. I will post Monday and Tuesday tomorrow because I need to dig out some receipts for it.
Sunday I actually made breakfast at home, probably because I woke up an hour earlier than usual (thanks daylight savings). It wasn't something I'd make again, probably, but it was ok.
For dinner we used up the whole wheat buns and the Lightlife veggie chicken patties we'd had in the freezer a while. I also used the little bunch of broccoli and one sad carrot I found languishing in the bottom of the crisper, and just cut them up and steamed them. I was unusually snack-y Sunday night. Likely because dinner was a little lighter on calories than usual.
Breakfast: oatmeal mixed with a vanilla Petite Cream with goat milk caramel and a handful of chocolate chips
Lunch: leftover tofu banh mi, green apple slices
Dinner: veggie chicken sandwich with spicy ranch and lettuce on a whole wheat bun, steamed broccoli and carrots
Snacks/desserts: lemon Greek yogurt, candy corn, Halloween chocolate chips
Beverages: water, Crystal Light
