I usually do my weekly grocery shopping on Sunday afternoon. I try come up with at least three things that I want to make during the week. This week, however, I decided that in addition to the three meals, I was also going to make fresh juice. I have a Breville Juicer that’s literally gathering dust sitting on top of the fridge.
So I bought all these fresh veggies and stuff and on Sunday night, I was pretty ambitious. I made Shrimp Tacos.
With the tacos, I also made fresh salsa…
and guacamole made with peas. (It was good, but definitely tasted like peas.)
So, that was Sunday. Monday, I ate canned tuna. Tuesday, I went to a concert. Wednesday, I cooked again. My friend Joan came over for dinner and I made Skillet Lasagna, which was a good vegetarian meal that non-vegetarians, like Joan and Jason would enjoy.
I went to a spin class tonight (my back feels better) and ate frozen pizza. My motivation to cook really starts out high at the beginning of the week and really wanes by the time Friday rolls around. That third meal, didn’t make it, and all those veggies for juicing, well, they’re still in the fridge. We’re going to Las Vegas on Sunday night though, so I’m thinking I can try a preemptive healthy attack before all the food and drink that I’ll eat there!
I love peas, so guacamole with peas actually sounds fantastic to me.
Try it. It tasted, well, like guacamole with peas in it. Haha.
I give you tons of credit, your recipes look so ambitious! We gravitate towards simple things – grilled chicken, salad and broccoli for example. how creative we are, huh? LOL
I ate canned tuna for dinner on Monday! Ha.
This happens to me too. In fact, my motivation for most things wanes by the end of the week.
Shrimp tacos!! those look SO GOOD!! Have a great time in Vegas!!!
My motivation totally wanes by the end of the week. In fact, by Thursday it’s kaput. It usually picks back up Sunday, when I often cook some stuff for the week, but it always winds down again. Thank goodness for cereal, yogurt, and frozen meals. Oh, and restaurants, too!
And now I have a lasagna craving. My moms is amazing.
I know just what you mean about it getting harder to cook as the week goes on. Fridays are usually our night to eat out for that reason!
