Meatless Monday Week 3

3/25/14

            Over the break I went home and was able to eat better because my mom is the one that gets the groceries.  I always eat heartier meals when I go home and don’t need to worry about what I’m going to make for dinner.  I really didn’t think about going meatless on any of the days but I ended up seeing that there are some days where I go meatless anyway.  I ate out one night with my girlfriend at a local restaurant in my hometown and got Haddock with a baked potato and applesauce, which is not meatless, but going out is something that is a rarity for me. I also tried out some new meals and made a soup that had no meats in it because I was trying new recipes for this week, which did not go as planned at all.

This weeks Meatless Monday did not go as smoothly as the previous two weeks. I had some issues on Monday that made it hard to even get time to prepare a meal.  I didn’t leave home until Monday morning to get to class at 2 pm.  I had a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast but that was the last time I had eaten for awhile.  When I was driving back to Buffalo, I got a flat tire that had shredded only a half-mile from the Niagara Falls exit. So I did get the spare on and make it to class but I hadn’t had any time to eat until around 5 o’clock because of the drive, tire, and classes.  So I was pretty hungry by then and also didn’t have much in the house because I had just gotten back and hadn’t gone shopping at all.  I ended up eating Spaghetti and I had tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese on top of it.  And throughout the night I snacked on clementine oranges that I had brought from home.  So there isn’t much to tell about my food this week even though I could write a whole story about my Monday.  In the end I did not break my meatless Monday streak but at the same time I really didn’t eat that much on Monday either.
