4.1.13

Oh, how I wish this post was an April Fool's Day joke!  But alas, it's time to come clean and fess up to the last two weeks.

 Last two weeks' recap: NJ was a big old eating fest!  Wawa hoagies for breakfast (Italian, not breakfast hoagies!)...Chinese food from The Orient, Cracker Barrel.  Plus, earlier that week we got Chinese take out and Chipotle take out.  Not a good week.

 
 Dinner at Cracker Barrel - Q had a healthy dinner of sweet potatoes and corn.  My choice - fried shrimp with steak fries, corn, and fried apples.


Butterfly shrimp from The Orient.  

This past week was not much better.  I got sick in NJ, and I had the week off of work - motivation was non-existent and I just wanted to eat crap.  We went to Back in the Day Cafe, On The Border and had take out pizza.  Q and I out out several days for breakfast and/or lunch.  Not a good week.  Not a ton of hideous choices, but just a lot of not great choices adding up.  Easter candy and sweets all weekend, plus a huge cooking weekend all add up to going over budget, gaining a few pounds, and not feeling great.  Back to it!  I also didn't get a chance to do the Once a Month cooking day, because I didn't feel great.  Oh well, maybe sometime in April!

Not a whole lot to report by way of recipes from the previous meal plan.  Everything that we made over Easter weekend is in a separate post (and it was all quite delicious, I might add!)
