• Personally speaking….

    While taking three classes this semester to finish my master's degree, my time to post is smaller than usual. I hope to post at least once a week though about things that matter to me -- a single young woman in Hampton Roads, VA.

Menu Plan Monday

I’ve seen some others doing a menu plan on Monday and thought I’d give it a whirl. This week is pretty busy so there are a few nights off. For more menus, head over to Meal Plan Monday. I have classes on Monday and Wednesday at 6:30.
Monday: Sweet Potato and Kidney Bean Burrito (Froze 99% [...]

Two days of eats

Oatmeal:
How I love thee but won’t it get old quickly? I still have about 2 or 3 cups left in the fridge for nuking. So far my favorite way to make it (other than oodles of brown sugar and milk and butter) is banana. Gotta find some other ways!

Saving by menu planning

Image: Daniel Y. Go
I tried The Grocery Game for a $1 trial. Pretty neat idea. If I actually visited the site and did what she said to do, I can definitely see how I’d save in the long run. But I tend to shop at one store, with maybe a quick stop at a couple [...]

Saturday foodstuffs

Yeah. Difficult day. Emotionally draining. I’m glad it’s over. I ate those little quarter sandwich things on a boat that I didn’t take pictures of but I did take pictures of the dinner I ate out. Yay? Oh and I am a huge fan of steel-cut oats! Cook up a bunch and store it for [...]

Friday Food Journal

Also, while on the brain train, I came up with a way to outsmart my temperamental card [...]

Ye ol’ hump day food journal

Last night I suddenly got starving hungry around 11:30. “Well, Jessica, if you were in bed….” I know. So I had a Laughing Cow wedge since I’m fruitless. I’ll add that on to today.
My excuse is that I was so busy studying my computer science homework and taking a quiz — which I bombed unfortunately [...]

Eating through Tuesday

[HAHA! I was so distracted by the laptop lunch that I forgot to 'publish' this.]
Class went late Monday which threw me off. I was late to work. I hate that. Well, I wasn’t late because I was in by the implied cut-off time but I am trying to hit closer to 8 a.m. than 9 [...]

Thursday

I am stressed. Like so stressed that my shoulders have been in pain since this morning. You’ve been there, I know. I won’t list the laundry list of things that got me here. Though, I guess, it boils down to just one thing—me. Journaled my food. [...]
