Last week I was concerned that I had not planned my meals out for a full week, so we would run out of food before the end of the week. I did add a trip to the produce market for a few things, but for the most part we made it to the end of the week, with some fruits and veggies to spare!
As I was planning this week's meals, I was pleasantly surprised that we loved every meal we tried last week! Stuffed tomatoes, MexiCali burritos, pasta, veggie pizza,.... It was all good! So I brought some of those recipes over, and am trying some new ones, including a cheeseless lasagna! I'll let you know how it goes!

At the store, I had an easier time finding the things I needed. What took a long time last time (finding the right nuts and almond milk) were quick this time. My cart was a lot fuller than last week's, and I was nervous checking out, but it ended up costing $120. My goal each week is $100, but the reality lately (healthy food or not) has been more like $120, so I'm okay with it. I'll keep trying to find ways to lower the bill, though!
I also bought tofu--a first for me!
As a matter of logistics, I've had to reorganize my refrigerator. When most of what I buy is produce, the two little produce bins in the bottom don't hold nearly everything I have! So I went to the dollar store and bought four colorful bins for holding produce. It's been a good way to keep everything organized, and my fridge is absolutely stuffed!
It's Friday Night Movie Night, and I'm bringing back veggie pizza from last week. I'll try to remember to take pictures, because I was pretty skeptical about a pizza with no cheese. But I gotta tell ya, I didn't miss it!
Has anyone else tried to go plant-based for a day? Why not try it!
