There was a whole lot of repeating in my diet today. How do you guys feel about leftovers? When I was single, I would often make one dish on the weekend and eat it every single day. Needless to say, this got old. Because I was bored, I’d often buy lunch.
Recently we’ve been making a different dinner every night creating new leftovers every day. We made a ton of food this weekend and so we need to finish it up. Dan’s been loving it, a never ending supply of food! But, this means my meals are looking pretty similar again…
Good thing it’s really tasty food! It is also a good thing that we are going to transition into more fall like fare when we return! I am eyeing a pumpkin pasta recipe and a pumpkin apple soup! Yum!
I was able to eat breakfast at home because I had a meeting out of town. So, I had my last piece of Walnut Blueberry Banana Bread, All Bran Buds, Grapes and half a piece of bacon.
Now, I have a confession to make, I forgot to load up my camera when I left the house…So, here are pictures from an earlier day, since my lunch was the exact same thing! Salt & Pepper Chicken and Bulgur, Mint and Parsley Salad.
For dinner I had calzones again. I was asked about the dough, and I have to admit that we went to Sam’s club last weekend and bought 20 dough balls for $17. Good deal! Dan loves pizza so this will make it much easier for him to indulge without eating the fast food.
I ended the day wanting some more fiber and so I had another itty bitty bowl. of Just Fruit Munchies and Bran buds. Well, can you see that the milk changed colors?! I swear this is not colored by chemicals, it’s the natural color of the blueberries.
So, overall a super repetitive day, but I must admit that I really enjoy having real food and knowing what I am putting into my body. We are headed out for another weekend and another wedding. I plan on implementing some new travel rules that I tried out during our long vacation…They seemed to work then and I hope they’ll work this weekend too!

I go back and forth with leftovers. Sometimes I like them, sometimes not. When I travel it's usually with 8 other people :) so we bring most of our food. I plan as many meals as I can so as to save money and eat healthy!
I made that salt & pepper chicken! Very, very good. Everyone loved it.
Your food always looks tasty! im always drooling.
leftovers are a life saver sometimes!
Diane: Glad you liked the chicken! With all those mouths to feed I'm sure you go through a TON of food!
WildFluffy: Thanks! They do make lunches more affordable!
