what's on the menu? - week 2

and now, for the second iteration of "what's on the menu?" hosted by yours truly. 

this determined, stubborn little girl did indeed get her weekly shopping done. i loaded up on cold meds, stopped at Panera for a good n' hearty sourdough bread bowl heaping with chicken noodle soup. i may not like chicken, but when the germs move in, well call me a kid because all i want is a bowl of soup, my pjams, a box of tissues and big, cozy blanket. i settled for the soup and got ish done!

took a detour to target to find this top. seem that every target around is sold out of xs and sm... just my luck. sigh. 

determined to make out with a new workout top, i hit up Marshals next. it was right next door to target after all. no luck there either. they had a ton of tanks, but just a handful in my size. and all ill fitting... at this point, i was a bit cranky. balloon headed. airy. blah... but determination. the word of the day. right next door to Marshals is the Nike Factory. it took a couple of misses there, but i walked out with a few hits. yesssssss!! finally!!

and my new top matches the sports bras i got at target the other day!

new training gear always makes me feel giddy

ok, so back to this week's menu. nothing's cooked just yet, so i'll have to post results later.

breakfast:

i absolutely love eggs for breakfast. i'm a big protein-first-thing-in-the-morning kinda girl. cooking eggs each morning however... just impractical for me. so, instead i am going to tackle this scrumptious breakfast casserole. 

lunch:

it was going to be wraps, but my favorite local bakery popped into my head while at target. they have the best gluten-free bread! i'm not gluten intolerant, but my ibs belly doesn't digest bread and pasta product all too well. so, instead it's going to be sandwiches with:

garlic hummus (makes the best spread)
lactose-free pepper jack cheese (a golden TJ's find!)
vegan lunch meat
sprouts
crimini mushrooms

dinner:
giving in to my carb craving just a teeny bit here. :)
what i really want is pizza. what i am making, is this. buffalo "chicken" flatbread. making a few several alterations to fit my tummy and picky-self needs. i am using meatless "chicken" strips, whole wheat flatbread (figured i'd splurge here since i'm using gluten-free bread for lunch) and vegan cheese.

the day has pretty much slipped away, so i won't be able to prep it all before bed, but no bigs. i'll just have to get busy preppin' after work tomorrow. :)
