What Did and Mostly Didn't Happen

Another week of potential meals came and went with little attention paid to the plan. I am not sure if things just did not work out like I thought they might, or if I just did not give a flip and made whatever required the least effort on my part. I believe it was probably the latter. No matter what happened___

This is what was planned:

Moroccan Chicken, saffron rice (TheHub's favorite) or caulirice, broccoli

2. Spinach artichoke chicken, couscous (or none) tossed salad

3. Spaghetti or zoodles with meat sauce, tossed salad

4. Veggie dinner (yet to be decided based on what is available at the truck farm)

5. Crab cakes with remoulade, coleslaw, hash browns (or none)

6. Grilled tuna steaks, mashed potatoes or caulimash, green beans, tossed salad

And this is what we really ate:

Monday: I woke and looked at the meal plan I had posted then ran to ThePig to pick up some bargain boneless skinless chicken thighs. The meal was a no brainer after that

Moroccan chicken, couscous (or none) tossed salad

Tuesday: When I had the freezer incident I found several things that had gotten pushed back into the deep recesses of the freezer, which I moved to the front of it once it was operational again. I did not think of them when I made the meal plan (that I ignored) but decided to use one of the already cooked items I had cleverly placed in seal-a-meal packs so I could forget I had them.

Smoked pork, tater tots (or none) coleslaw

Wednesday: I had planned on grilling tuna, but the day was much much cooler than it had been and I decided we just needed to eat something that would normally be a colder weather type meal

Jambayla, green beans, keto cornbread

Thursday: TheHub has been craving rotisserie chicken and picked one up on his way home from work. He was going to be home at a regular time so we decided to eat early and be done with it so we could run to the bluff and catch the sunset,

Rotisserie Chicken, stuffing (or none) Brussels sprouts

Friday: We took a little  trip to the other side of town and checked out the new Buc-ees. Now I have been there, seen it and don't have to go back to this particular one, but the next time we travel I will be on the lookout for one when we need to gas up, freshen up, and grab a snack. I had been hearing about something we needed to try, and it did not disappoint.

Brisket sandwich, hot potato chips, Buc-ees 79 cent large fountain Diet Dr. Pepper (what a deal)

Saturday: Once again I had planned on cooking  the tuna steaks and once again the  weather changed my plans. The skies were dark by mid afternoon then it began to rain. It was easier to pull something different out of the freezer than to stand in the rain and cook the tuna.

Spaghetti with meat sauce, tossed salad

Sunday: The day was drop dead gorgeous and it was the perfect time to fire up the grill, but by Sunday neither of us really wanted the tuna, and rather than thawing them, I thawed a Porterhouse.

Steak, tossed salad, asparagus and hashbrowns

The Plan Moving Forward:

1. TheHub will be out of town so popcorn maybe?

2 TheHub will still be out of town so cereal perhaps?

3. Crab cakes with remoulade sauce, coleslaw, green beans, keto dinner rolls

4. Grilled tuna steaks,  broccoli, tossed salad, toast or rolls

5. Big salad meal (No clue yet what type)

6. Grilled burger with all the fixings, caulitato salad or some kind of chopped salad

7. Take-out

The only thing I am certain will happen is the first two ideas. TheHub will not be home and there is no way I am going to defrost and cook something just for me. I will scrap around the fridge or  pantry and eat something or I will have total control of the TV remote and will sit in the den and eat cereal*

So go have a great week staying on plan, going off plan or with no plan at all!

* I found a keto cereal online and I have absolutely no affiliation with them but feel like sharing a cool find with anyone who might be doing the keto thing and misses cereal or something crunchy and snack like chips. Schoolyard Snacks. They are pricy but worth it to me for occasional indulgences. I like the fruity cereal with almond milk, the chocolate (I eat it dry like popcorn) and the peanut butter (ditto), but I think the cinnamon cereal is horrible. I also got the sour cream and onion cheese snacks. They are also pretty tasty, but like I said, they are expensive, so I only allow myself  one pack about every two weeks.
