Excessive Grocery Shopping

It’s FRIDAY!! WOOH Let’s celebrate with good food!

Starting with breakfast in a fun bowl. I decided to give my over-sized tea cups a break this morning and put my overnight oats in a fancy dish.

Banana-Chia Overnight Oats (1/3 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/3 cup 2% Greek Yogurt, 2 tsp Chia Seeds, Cinnamon, 1 banana) Topped with Blackberries, Crunchy Almond Butter, Sunflower Seed Butter and Honey

Hi my name is Nora and I have a grocery shopping problem.

I am cooking for one, and in the last week have managed to buy several perishable items such as a 4-pound chicken, a family sized container of spinach,  a loaf of bread, a package of tortillas and an entire large honeydew melon all for me. I also really don’t like having the same thing twice, so this creates leftover problems.

I opened the refrigerator this morning and realized that I have a lot of food  that MUST be consumed within the next few days. Lunch and dinner will be boring today but I have special plans for dessert . I have been dreaming about making a certain butter-laden, double-chocolate and nut-filled dessert for a week. It will happen tonight!Goat Cheese, Spinach, Tomato and Roasted Eggplant Sandwich on Whole Wheat Toast. HONEYDEW CHUNKS . Hello  stacked veggies . I like.

I have been craving honeydew like it’s nobody’s business and needed to do something about it. The little containers at my grocery store are the same price as the entire melon. Being the frugal foodie that I am, I bought the whole melon. Now my goal is to eat it before it goes bad. I ate a few extra pieces while packing. I’m pretty sure I will be sick of honeydew after the weekend.

Cook-o-holic,

Nora
