Pictures From The Weekend (Plus This Weeks Grocery Plan)

Goodmorning, and happy Monday 🙂

How was your weekend?

Mine was filled with family events & traveling.

Thursday/Friday I was in San Luis Obispo, Saturday we had a baby shower to attend, Saturday night we had dinner with the Grandparents, and Sunday we had family fish taco night – which we usually do once per year when my Uncles come back from fishing in Lake Almanor!

For some reason my appetite is lacking right now and I had a hard time picking meals for this week, but I got through it this morning! Here are the meals I chose:

1. Tomato Soup with Mozzarella, Tomato, and Basil Panini’s
2. Brown Rice Pasta with Pesto and Veggies
3. Kale, Quinoa, and Veggie Sausage
4. Tilapia, Harvest Grains, and Baby Broccoli
5. Pizza with Olive Oil, Artichoke Hearts, and Onion + Side Salad
6. Spencer McKenzie’s Ahi Pockets
7. {Lunch} Ezekiel with Peanut Butter & Banana
8. {Lunch} Ezekiel with Pesto & Artichoke Hearts
9. {Lunch} Ezekiel with Avocado, Sea-Salt, & Red Chili Pepper Flakes

I didn’t do grocery shopping this weekend because of all the events, so I’m headed out to grocery shop this  morning. I’ve made my list based on these food ideas for the week + some staples.

I got a request from a reader to talk about my grocery shopping budget, so I will do a post like that. I have it noted on my long list of to-do blog posts 🙂

WEEKEND

I won the Burpee contest in my Body Works class — haha! Don’t be fooled. I’m not great! As I was told “I didn’t stop the whole time” so I won 😉

Worked from a Hotel on Friday — this felt like a treat now that I work from my iMac at my desk all of the time

My Cousin June… Oh my gosh… isn’t she precious? I got to spend a lot of time holding her at the baby shower this weekend

Full baby shot 🙂

Silly selfie (you can tell I was trying to find photos from the weekend to post on my blog since I didn’t take many — haha!) while waiting for Mom before fish taco night. Marco was with his Grandpa workin’ on some Business and I got ready for the night with my Mom. That was fun! I packed my bag to get ready, showered at her house, we did our hair/makeup together… Just like when I lived there 🙂

This morning when I was reading blogs (and my own blog, ha!) picking out meals to make for the week.

I want to find more blogs like mine and Cait’s Plate that have a lot of daily/weekly eats and food ideas. Doesn’t necessarily need to have recipes, I just like inspiration from yummy food pictures!

If you have recommendations for me, leave them in the comments below! 

And of course, my morning cup of coffee 🙂 We ran out of Almond Milk on Friday so I’ve been using Marco’s Vitamin D Whole Milk through the weekend, and I’ve gotta say… my body started craving it after I used it once. I’m going to leave my mind out of this decision (my mind wants to to tell me “it’s bad”) and stick with whole milk this week since I definitely know my body is craving it.

Alrighty everyone, stick with me through the week for Daily Eats inspiration!

Personal goals this week:

• Take lot’s of food/life photos
• Work in exercise clothes so I can take breaks and walk around outside
• Find an online women’s Bible Study to follow along (any suggestions?) 

Enjoy your Monday, and don’t forget, please share your favorite Blogs with me below! I like daily/weekly eats and lifestyle Blogs similar to my own 🙂
