This weekend was wonderfully simple. I didn\u2019t take many pictures and my instagram was (and still is) broken, which is giving me the shakes. I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s possible to eat a meal without snapping a picture of it first.<\/p>\n

Anyways, we finally got new bedroom furniture which I am RIDICULOUSLY excited about and it sparked an entire deep spring cleaning movement. It\u2019s how we spent our Saturday.<\/p>\n

David had to work all day Sunday, so to break the monotony, Hailey and I decided to venture to Whole Foods in Charlotte, about 45 minutes away. And yes, I know it sounds silly to drive that far for a grocery store.<\/p>\n

But first, there was fridge evaluation.<\/p>\n

\"weekly<\/a><\/p>\n

Items remaining that need to be used this week- feta, fresh mozzarella, frozen grass-fed burgers.<\/p>\n

Then meal planning.<\/p>\n

\"weekly<\/a><\/p>\n

The entire past week I\u2019ve stayed away from processed carbs (chips, breads, pastas) as part of my jeans-are-too-tight plan<\/a>, even over the weekend. The first couple days were pretty dang hard, but I made it through and now feel a lot better. I\u2019m aiming at still keeping them to a minimum over the next week as well.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s line up looks like this-<\/p>\n

Sunday- Grilled BBQ salmon, roasted broccoli and bread<\/h5>\n
Monday- Vegetable stir-fry over Quinoa<\/h5>\n
Tuesday- Sweet Potato Nachos<\/a><\/h5>\n
Wednesday- Grass-Fed Burger Lettuce Wraps and Sweet Potato Rounds<\/h5>\n
Thursday- Mexican Chicken<\/h5>\n
Friday- Homemade Veggie pizza<\/h5>\n
Breakfasts- Veggie Eggs or Smoothies<\/h5>\n
Lunch- Greek Quinoa<\/a>, Salads, Leftovers<\/h5>\n
Snacks- Edamame, Banana Oat \u2018cookies\u2019, applesauce, almonds<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

After loading up on cart-snacks, my little sidekick and I hit the aisles.<\/p>\n

\"weekly<\/a><\/p>\n

1 box of raisins, 3 samples of cheese, 1 sample of popcorn and 1 sucker later, we were finished shopping. I only ended up with 2 non-list splurge items: Israeli Couscous and Snapeas. Oh, and 1 sad little potato that Hailey tried to snag and eat when I wasn\u2019t looking.<\/p>\n

\"weekly<\/a><\/p>\n

We loaded up the car and I was glad I remembered my cooler for the frozen goods. It\u2019s important it you are weird like me and take a full-on road trip to the grocery store.<\/p>\n

\"weekly<\/a><\/p>\n
