Normally I don’t go so dessert-heavy, but lately, my lunches have been lighter and I’ve been enjoying something sweet at night while I wind down and try to read or watch Schitt’s Creek. Desserts: Apple caramel slab pie with vanilla ice cream, molasses cookies (one night I most definitely will crumble a cookie into a bowl of vanilla ice cream), and vanilla ice cream and hot fudge because that sounded comforting.My husband also tossed the olives in the cart, but olives aren’t really the journey for me. Snacks: Fruit (pomegranate, pineapple, and pears), sliced cucumbers with hummus, fruit wraps, and cheese (colby jack, provolone, herbed goat cheese, and caramelized onion cheddar - the cheese is also for the grilled cheese I’m having for dinner).

Lunch: Leftovers, butternut squash mac ‘n cheese frozen meal, and cold brew iced tea to wake me up from my post-lunch coma.Breakfast: Yogurt, granola, and blueberries, English muffins, and a breakfast burrito.I will be a zombie by Saturday and will need Taco Bell to sustain me through the weekend. Friday: A frozen pizza I definitely already have in the freezer.Thursday: Quick taco bowl with ground turkey leftovers (I should have a tomato, some black beans from my quarantine can-hoarding days, and can pick cilantro from my little garden if the heatwave hasn’t zapped it to a crisp).Wednesday: Turkey burgers with lettuce buns (I already have these ingredients on hand).Tuesday: Grilled cheese sandwiches and Trader Joe’s tomato soup with feta.Monday: Grilled chicken with red potatoes that I already have (I’ll probably do something easy, like roast them in the oven), and sautéed yellow squash.Sunday: Spaghetti squash with marinara sauce.After I was done shopping at Trader Joe’s, I decided to do my routine grocery list audit, to track costs and spends.
