I had it all organised – a post each day I said. It’ll be easy. Oh my goodness, how delusional was I? Long story short, our little guy spent a night of observation in hospital for a nasty virus. So, as you would expect, everything else got put on the back burner. On the up-side, he’s fine, and slept 12 hours straight last night, so we all got to recover from the experience. Isn’t it funny how we are ALWAYS juggling something.
Today was a slow day, while we all found our feet again, but I did manage to clean out the fridge and our pantry. Which was awesome. I threw out a lot of out of date stuff, and both are far organised tidy now. Nothing quite like a good clean out. And because of that clean out, I tried something new for dinner and topped our very nice steak with chopped avocado and tomato in lemon juice, and coupled it with a side of roasted garlic potato bites (with crunchy bits – yum!) and some greens. Might not sound like a big deal, but I’m really proud that I used up what was in the fridge to create a really tasty, but still healthy meal.
There’s been some interesting lessons in the past couple of days. A big one was that I tend to ignore what is in the fridge or pantry, probably because I have too much in there, and no real focus in terms of meal planning. So, this week, I have resolved to not buy any ready made meals or snacks. I know that everything I have in my pantry isn’t perfectly healthy, but I’m not going to just throw away food. I will replace it with better choices once used. This week, I will plan a week of meals around what I already have, and when I shop tomorrow, I will just buy food to complement what I already have. Wish me luck!
