It is 8:55 pm, and I survived Day 21 of the Whole30 Challenge. I had some of the delicious Oldie's Green Curry for dinner. I started calculating food I have left and how long I feel like it stays good before I have to throw it out. The unexpected Hub lunch and a breakfast at Nickels this week means I need to get busy eating stuff.
I froze 8 of the remaining meatballs. I will have the last of the unfrozen ones in the morning for breakfast with the last of the red sauce and a zucchini.
I froze 2 helpings of sweet potatoes and left one more out for tomorrow night after swimming.
I am having green curry for lunch at the office and for dinner tomorrow, which might leave one additional service for Thursday. I cooked it on Sunday...Thursday is my cut-off to eat it date. Anything beyond that would weird me out.
So for the first time, I had enough meals to really carry me through approximately 6 days without additional emergency cooking. I was even able to freeze a few things. Frozen things are difficult for me to deal with sometimes because I don't have a microwave. I have to remember to take something out to thaw it or I lose time. I haven't had a microwave in about 16 years, and I don't really miss it except for certain thawing times.
So, I need to make a decision about what I am going to cook for protein and vegetables to get me into the weekend. I have the big bag or broccoli to steam still, but what kind of meat/seafood? I can mix up a can of tuna for Friday lunch. Maybe I fall back to my old faithful...hamburgers no buns. Any suggestions?
