Hey everyone! Well another ones bites the dust, huh? Another work day is coming to an end for me. I am telling you, this week is flying by!
Lunch came at 12pm exactly! I found it strange that my breakfast burrito left me feeling famished by noon. Usually they fill me up and keep me full for a long time. Oh well. Lunch was an Ezekiel wrap with lettuce, turkey, reduced fat feta and tabouli.
On the side I had our very last clementine and some bbq popchips!
Around 3pm I broke into my snack which was red bell peppers and cucumbers and hummus.
I love these little mini hummus packs, soooo cute and convenient. I got them as Costco.
I also had some coffee to get me through that 3pm wall which I hit again today…blah. I made a little cappuccino out of the machine at work.
We are currently running low on some stuff in the FFF kitchen, mainly fresh produce. I am trying to wait until Sunday to grocery shop when I have more time to go to the grocery store with the best and cheapest produce and I have time to stop by Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s to get some stuff we need/ I got some coupons to try. Time to get creative!!!! What do you do to get creative when you are low of groceries?

hey Ali, where do you get those wraps in the Boston area?
I wish we had an espresso machine at work!!
Betsy:
I have found them at all grocery stores, they will be in the freezer section.
I usually come up with the wackiest but delicious combination when I am low on food. I basically just scour the cabinets and see what comes to mind- black beans? salsa? Oh some sort of “Mexican” food! Allrecipes.com is useful too- it has a feature where you can enter the ingredients you have on hand and it comes back with recipes including those. Can’t wait to see what you come up with
Loving the individual Sabra…I’ve only ever seen them attached to the little containers of pretzel crisps! (Gotta love Costco, though)
Today I finally tried BBQ popchips! SOOO good! Totally lived up to everything good you’e said!
I’m actually running way way low on food too so I have been relying a lot on my back-up freezer stuff (mostly Morningstar Farms products). This week in particular I had a lot of salads because my spinach stayed good for a surprisingly long time!

One thing my house ALWAYS has, is turkey lunch meat, frozen rice/pasta and frozen steam veggies. Its always my back up lunch, especially when i’m running late in the morning. Pop in the pasta and veggies on 4min in the microwave, and just tear some turkey slices on top and i’m out the door.
Usually, if i dont even have THAT stuff (which is rare) I always make sure I make my lunches at NIGHT. That way i’m not running around frantic trying to put a decent lunch together. I usually shop once every 2 weeks, spend around $100 and i’m all set for 14 days of 3 meals! I walk to the grocery store, so all my food HAS to fit in 3 (reusable) shopping bags or less, or its impossible to carry home the almost mile. But it works!! But my boyfriend grocery shops for his own food on different days, his ‘MAN FOOD’ as he likes to put it, so most of the food i buy, is for me.
