stockin' up!!!
this morning started in a bit of a frenzy...you know those days where you wake up in plenty of time to get ready and go to work...and then all of a sudden take a peek at the clock and you are surprisingly cuttin' it close!?! i am sure that some of you can relate to this. anyways, i didn't have much time to throw a lunch together this morning...and to be honest, even if i did the fridge was looking a little sad. NOT ANY MORE... =)
when i got home from work this evening, i sat down and made a list of goodies that i was going to buy to replish my fridgeroo. in addition to what you see in the pic, i also went to rowe farms and picked up some ground beef, turkey, pork chops and chicken breast and thighs. i love that we are all sharing ideas, recipes and our day to day happenings on these blogs through this challenge. i find it very motivational and encouraging. i told myself i am going to try to use this time to restore some creativity in the kitchen. i bought stuff tonight to make a big ass batch of paleo chili tomorrow...and i am also going to attempt a new recipe, which is going to be "parsnip and sweet potato fries." so excited to give them a go and try out this new wicked kitchen utensil that i bought several weeks ago.
i picked up this fancy slicer at a store in my hood called STACK. it is German made and gets super good reviews. it is the v-5 power version, and has the capacity to slice and dice 10 different ways. i will let you all know how it works after i put it to good use this week =) finally, to help with my quick, grab and go breakfasts, i boiled up a whole bunch of eggs tonight, so they are ready for the morns! i bet you didn't think hardboiling eggs could get even easier right!?! i highly recommend this product - the silicone foodpod, by fusionbrands. it is fab for as i mentioned, boiling eggs, but also steaming mussels and blanching/steaming veggies.
okay...here is the run-down of day 3!
today's realization: i think i need to eat MORE!
breakfast:
2 hardboiled eggs

ps...damn today was super busy...no americano time =( hey...maybe that is why i was a super grouch??? hahaha!
