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

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

Halloween, and October wrap-up
Winter dressed up as the Cake song, Short Skirt Long Jacket for Halloween. I guess all of her school friends were familiar with the song, despite the fact that it was popular when I was in high school. She went to her art class, and only two other kids showed up.
They always have sandwiches there for this kid's, and since it was a quiet night they had a ton of sandwiches left over, so they told Winter to take as many as she wanted. She brought home five of them. They are the Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches, and some of them are chicken, and some tofu. They are actually really really good. I told Winter if they have leftovers again she should bring me one. I hung out at work until she was done with class, and took my food with me.
On the way home we went to QFC and bought $.82 worth of broccoli, one banana for $.23 and a Yoplait Greek yogurt which was the Free Friday Download. That brings the total spent for the month of October to $389.25 which is $.75 under budget. Damn. I could have bought two more bananas.
Breakfast: cereal and milk
Lunch: banana, and peach flavored Yogurt
Dinner: Campbell's cheeseburger soup, honeycrisp apple, strawberry pastry crisp
Snacks/desserts: Halloween candy, half a tofu banh mi
Beverages: coffee with vanilla flavored coconut milk creamer, water

I got buns, hon'
Anaconda has been getting a lot of play in our house recently. Though, I think I may be the only one who actually likes it. Winter found an animated parody on YouTube that is an educational song about anacondas, which she quite enjoys. It's not exactly appropriate for children either, but it's much funnier that way.
We had black bean burgers for dinner tonight, and I sprang for the whole wheat buns this time. The regular ones were $1.25 and the whole wheat were $1.49. Was worth it. For some reason I feel like veggie burgers are just better with whole wheat. Meat burgers are better with white buns. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I also got a carton of coffee flavored Dreyer's ice cream on sale for $2.50.
Breakfast: banana and chocolate flavored Greek yogurt
Lunch: sandwich with turkey, provolone, lettuce and dijon, banana, strawberry pastry crisps
Dinner: black bean burger on whole wheat bun with lettuce and dijon, steamed frozen veggie blend
Snacks/desserts: coffee ice cream with goat milk caramel
Beverages: water, Crystal Light

Tuesday and Wednesday
Tuesday I worked my regular shift at the airport. On the way home I went to QFC and bought a pack of 8 hot dog buns for $1.00, and three bananas for $.77. We currently have a little over $5 to last until Friday.
We had the chicken hot dogs I got at Grocery Outlet for $.44 for dinner, and salad made with some lettuce and cucumber that were starting to go a bit witty. I put some four pepper goat cheese in mine too.
After dinner Winter and I made a red velvet cake from a boxed mix. We only had two eggs and it called for three, so I added an extra tablespoon of oil and it turned out fine. We used the Halloween Funfetti frosting on it. It's not the most attractive cake, but it tastes good.
Breakfast: chocolate flavored cream top yogurt
Lunch: peanut butter and honey sandwich, honeycrisp apple, chocolate chip granola bar
Dinner: chicken hot dogs, salad with lettuce, cucumbers, goat cheese and raspberry walnut dressing
Snacks/desserts: red velvet cake
Beverages: water, Crystal Light
Today Winter's school had another "take your parent to school day" and she wanted me to come with her again. It was an early dismissal day, so we got done at 11:50. I waited too long to get some food together, so I suppose it's a good thing I wasn't very hungry today. I think I had too much cake last night.
After school I got a massage from a coworker I trade with once a month, and Winter and I also went to the hospital (that is conveniently located three blocks from our apartment) to visit my uncle, who had surgery on Monday.
When we got home I made pizza crust using the recipe on the bag of flour. It has flour, yeast, honey, olive oil, water and salt. I find it to be a pretty easy crust to make, and it rises nicely if you have time to let it sit. I made three individual pizzas and topped them with Italian seasoned tomato sauce, turkey pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese. Jeremy added a little pesto jack to his too. We also had the same salad as last night again.
Breakfast: banana
Lunch: peach flavored Yogurt
Dinner: pepperoni pizza, salad with lettuce, cucumbers, goat cheese, and balsamic dressing
Snacks/desserts: red velvet cake
Beverages: Crystal Light
