4 minute meals

It’s Friday!   Wooohoooo!  :mrgreen:

Yesterday flew by in the blink of an eye – I’m still not quite sure where it went.   :wink:

I started the day of on the right foot (I’m back in the spicy oats groove – have no fear!)  :razz:

And didn’t have time to even think about food until it was already time for lunch!   For some reason I found this salad super depressing:

I really think it’s because it’s missing spinach.  But the bags of spinach looked a little funky (translation – had brown ICK in them) so I had to pass on them this week.  I’ve got high hopes for next week!  :grin:

(and hopefully an Aldi video coming REALLY SOON!)

I did find time to grab a snack in the afternoon – an apple with some Chocolate PB!

which hit the spot like always!

When I got home from work – I went straight to the bathroom – to try and knock out the painting.  I put a first “color” coat on the walls, and Mike and I finished up the ceiling with a second coat too!  I want to show ya’ll pictures – but the room is seriously embarrassing.  Painting is about the only reno we can afford right now – so the best example I can give to this home “project” is – Imagine you are in a boat, that’s sinking – and you are trying to bail out the water with a thimble.  Get my drift?  We’ll see – maybe I’ll share.  :wink:

By the time we finished it was almost 8 and I still hadn’t had dinner!!!!  (that apple/PB snack really held me over well!)

When I realized what time it was, my stomach realized it was starving (maybe it was mental) so I needed something FAST, before I started devouring everything in sight!  I ended up whipping out an “all microwave” meal in about 4 minutes – and managed to hit every food group.  I was proud of myself!  :razz:

A can of green beans, 5 Morning Star buffalo wings, and garden vegetable (Uncle Ben’s) rice.   Not too shabby for 4 minutes, wouldn’t you agree?  :wink:

Alright kiddos – I’m outta here!  We have a company golf outing today – so I need to get my act together, tie up any lose ends – and go wreak some havoc on the greens baby!  Have a great Friday! :grin:

Company golf outing? That sounds a lot better than looking at excel all day…booo! I almost wish I couldn’t see how nice it is outside. Great job on the four minute meal (take that Rachel Ray!) ahha.

Why is it canned green beans are 10x better than fresh? I don’t get it. Have fun today :)
