Alright – here we go. Sorry for people whom this might bore, but this is a good way for me to talk about whole eating and how I’m doing on this challenge for the month of May. Here we go:
1. Knowing I am doing this challenge (and trying the cash envelope system for my food budget) made me shop differently in the grocery stores today. I didn’t pick up snacks which would be different if I weren’t doing this challenge.
Here we go:
Breakfast – at Flying Biscuit Cafe in Cameron Village (Raleigh) – shared a meal with Rachael. Biscuit with their homemade cranberry butter. 1/2 piece of french toast with vanilla creme anglaise and raspberry sauce. 1 egg, 1 piece of their chicken sausage, 3/4 piece bacon, 1/2 bowl of their homemade creamy grits.
Shopped at Fresh Market: rainbow chard for some soup and asparagus bc it was on sale
Lunch – at Watts Grocery in Durham – small bowl of local granola, local yogurt with fresh fruit. Housemade english muffin with blueberry preserves.
Shopped at TJ, Whole Foods, and Target: bananas, apples, green lentils.
Snacked on 1/4 cup trail mix (goldfish, life cereal, craisins, peanuts, m&ms) – I was making them for our teacher training tomorrow at church.
Dinner: 1 red potato and 1/2 small onion – roasted with evoo and s/p. 1/2 beefsteak tomato with some sea salt. Looking forward to that dinner.
That will be it! So, halfway decent – but better than I’ve done the whole month – especially with sharing the meal at Flying Biscuit. Gotta do it again tomorrow.
EAT LOCAL! EAT FRESH! It is easy!
YaY!!! That is awesome. So proud of you! Now, change that picture at the top of your blog — it makes me want those cookies every time I see them! Yum! 🙂 (Just kidding, you don't have to change the pic)
