Salads, maybe?

I think I said I was going to post a little more often than I actually am but that’s okay! Things are busy, how I like ‘em. A couple of my jobs take a hiatus around the holidays because they revolve around children and the school system calendar but now things are back in full swing. Which means…

I don’t have a lot of time to cook. I had Sunday this week, which was nice. I was able to make an ample supply of granola bars. Next week, and for the following 11 weeks, I won’t have Sundays anymore. I already didn’t have Saturdays… or evenings… or mornings…

But I do have lunches! The best thing about my crazy schedule is that I am typically home with time to kill from 1pm to 3 or 4ish. I love getting to come home for lunch. I don’t have to rush through it and Joe isn’t home to pester me ;). I get to listen to WBFO. I get to eat and make good food. Brussel sprouts, anyone?

Something I need to get better at is dinners I can make ahead over lunch. Mondays through Wednesdays I sit at a desk during the dinner hours and have only a microwave to “cook” anything I want for dinner. Unfortunately as well, ventilation is not great in the small building and anything that has a strong scent is a big turn off to people coming in for fitness classes. Salads, maybe? I’ve always wanted to be more adventurous with salads! (Sorta. Suggestions welcome.) Thursdays I teach until about 8:30 and don’t have the desire to cook when I get home. Having something already made is a must or else chips n salsa it is.

Anyway, I have a bunch of left over veggies this week because I had a weird tummy ache for a lot of last week. Green beans, brussel sprouts, kale, cauliflower, and carrots galore! It saved me quite a bit on my grocery bill. I’m still on a taco kick at the moment, so I’ll see what I can come up with these veggies. Grace, Molly, and I went to a local mexican restaurant on Saturday night and Molly got a sweet potato taco and I wanna make something like THAT.

Just gotta get over my fear of sweet potatoes. But more on that later.
