As stressful as it can be to come home after a long trip and have SO much to do, it can be equally thrilling (yes thrilling) to have the chance to revamp and restart, in the food department too of course. After a solid week of eating yummy indulgent food I wanted nothing to do with my rich comfort food standbys...soooo, now what? After scouring a few of my favorite "healthy" websites and magazines I'm excited for a week filled with some amazing fresh meals. Ah, end of summer bounty...you are good to us.
Breakfasts::
Oatmeal with maple pumpkin butter, raisins and cinnamon
Liberte yogurt (if you haven't tried this stuff you simply must, it's divine)
Eggs! (for Louise's birthday of course!)
Lunches::
TJs Organic Creamy Tomato Soup
Lentil Vegetable Soup
Hummus with Late July Tortilla Chips (the best!) and cherry tomatoes
Dinners::
Asian Chicken Dumpling Soup with Ginger and Spinach
Chicken Sausage and Summer Squash saute
TJs mini pizzas
Ina Garten's Mac and Cheese and Hebrew National hot dogs (Louise's birthday dinner request)
I only planned 4 night because, well, it's already Wednesday and you KNOW there's going to be lots of birthday leftovers. I'm really excited about the treats we're making for Louise's birthday!
grocery total :: $185
LOTS of pantry staples needed to be replenished after our trip as well as all those party goodies. Not too shabby!
