I never want my weekends to end. I stayed home last night and woke up early to travel back. The 5am wake-call was a harsh reality to face, however; the company of my parents, beer and Mexican food were worth staying for yesterday. No regrets. An early day on the road required preparations. Last night I made overnight oats for breakfast and packed a Farmer’s Market Lunch.
Overnight Oats: 1/2 cup Rolled Oats, 1/2 cup Vanilla Soy Milk, 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt, 1/2 Banana, Cinnamon, Vanilla Extract, handful of Blueberries and Natural Crunchy Peanut Butter.
Farmer’s Market Salad: Bibb and Red Leaf Lettuce, Cucumber, Tomato, Heirloom Beans, Walnuts, Goat Cheese. Olive Oil/Balsamic. 8-Grain 3-Seed Toast with Raspberry Jam.
I am going to miss the comforts of fresh food this week. I don’t even want to know what happened to the food in my broken refrigerator over the weekend. A trip to the grocery store is necessary, however; I do not want things to spoil…hmmm. Decisions, decisions. To make food or to take food, that is the question. Whether tis nobler…okay enough. Dinner will be interesting.
Reality Check,
Nora
Do you make one big grocery trip or several during the week?
I had so many issues when I lived at Miami of Ohio with my fridge, mainly the power always went out. Annoying!
I try to go shopping once a week, b/c I have been spending way too much money with several spontaneous trips.
i definitely make many many many grocery runs throughout the week.
Nora your food always looks fabulous!! <3
I go to the grocery store at least every other day (I’m trying to cut back a bit though) I love taking small trips and getting inspired by what looks the freshest (and by what’s on sale!) I can’t wait until your fridge problem gets fixed…poor girl!
Ha! I attempt to make one large grocery trip, but I always go back a couple times for something I didn’t think of, or because we run out of something else. Booo.
I think I go to at least one grocery store a day. I will inevitably run in for one thing and come out with 5+. That’s ok though, it’s really the only kind of shopping I like to do. I know, I seem to be missing a female chromosome or something.
Sorry you’re still having food/fridge issues
I bet you’re so very grateful for your lovely parents, though! It seems they always have such good food on hand – if I didn’t live here, I don’t think my mom would have oatmeal and oatmeal necessities on hand 
I hope too much didn’t spoil at home and you were able to pull something together!
Shopping-wise, I try to make one big trip…but it always turns into two mini-trips. I seem to be on a weird schedule in which I run out of milk and yogurt before I run out of produce?
