What's on your Friday Eve (Thursday) Menu RNYers?

Yes, long week of 'stuff'. A lot of appointments concerning my nephew who lives with me and has a disability. One more today and one more tomorrow. Ugh.

Oh and cracked the screen on my phone yesterday. Ugh again

QOTD: A stiff drink and going to bed early? Haha oops. Nope. I do find a combination of caffeine and even a 10 minute interlude to sit quietly listening to music helps. Music doesn't require me to think or do. Just be. Going to bed early does help too. Epsom salt bath to relax and slide in the sheets early.

B: Fairlife latte overnight oats w/protein

B2: spinach and tomato w/egg/egg whites

L: salad and Costco cilantro lime shrimp

D: Chicken thigh and toasted butternut squash

S: apple, protein, Greek yogurt?

Ex: gym/strength training , Peachpie 100 challenge, maybe yoga.

You're like me...we buy something from Costco and then it features prominently on our menu for days and days! I crack up whenever I see your cilantro lime shrimp!

Hahaha... because it's good and delicious and you have to buy a large amount and you don't want it to go to waste.

If I could figure out a way to freeze the chicken salad I would buy that more often. You turned me onto that.

I have a solution! You may have been busy last week when I was evangelizing the incredibleness and moistness and tastiness of the VACUUM SEALED BAG OF ROTISSERIE CHICKEN. It's in the deli area by the chicken salad and it's this sort of weird looking vacuum sealed bag of just breast. I brought it home, put it in my own ziplock bag so no one in the family noticed anything different than my normal bag of chicken I tend to have and omg it made like 11 meals and I froze the rest. No need to strip down a chicken carcass! And it's somehow more flavorful. I made my own chicken salad with that even.

Thank you! I will now buy it. I have eyed that weird looking bag.

My new thing is prepping a few chicken salads or this week egg salads in 16oz wide mouth mason jars. It has room to shove some salad or cooked veggies on top at the last minute and can take it with me if needed and eat out of the jar. Or if I'm just hungry it's there and ready.

Haha - a stiff drink always does it for me!

Good morning. Jen, I definitely feel like this is the never-ending week as well. My daughter came home from college for break last night and I picked her up at the airport. It looks like her luggage didn't make the trip however. My experience has always been that missed luggage gets delivered the next day without much problem. Hopefully that streak continues.

QOTD: I don't have any great answers today other than take a long warm shower and go to bed early. It seems like my energy level almost always picks upon Friday even during long weeks.

Breakfast: Chili

Snack: Light and Fit

Lunch: work luncheon

Snack: Volpi

Dinner: Beef stew

Have great day, everybody.

A few years ago when I was traveling home from NY my luggage got lost and I didn't get it back for 4 days. Turned out it had went to China.

There should be some kind of rule that if your luggage gets sent someplace cool, they have to send you there also.
