Good evening!

Today has been quite the catch-up day.  Between the full-time job, the part-time night job, Operation Beautiful, and marathon training, my weeks are starting to look just a little bit FULL.  I tried to get all of my chores done today to make the rest of the week a tad easier.

Brunch (around 11) was Chobani pineapple (just as good as everyone says!), granola, and banana:

Then, I set to cleaning the house.  Frankly, it looked like a bomb of dust had gone off in my living room.

I took a break and had a small roll that I snagged from Taste of the Nation last night.  I dipped it in a little hummus:

I ate a really late lunch.  I had two more of the free rolls with melted cheese, 1 cup of tomato sauce, and a salad:

Perfect for dipping!

I checked a TON of other tasks off my To Do list this afternoon.  It was a tedious task but so worth it.  I feel so accomplished!

I snacked on a plum:

And a mini bagel with Barney Butter:

Then, I went grocery shopping.  I took my meal planner folder with me.  I have to say that meal planning is really going well — I think there’s been better recipes on the blog for the last two weeks AND meal planning is making trips to the grocery store a lot easier.

I really only planned three meals this week, but two of them are casserole dishes that are designed to fed us throughout the upcoming week:

While shipping, I posted this Operation Beautiful note in the dog food aisle:

:) 

The first casserole dish for the week is vegetarian lasagna.  My mom is so much better at making this than I am:

I layered the following veggies in my lasagna (stole the basic recipe from the back of the whole wheat lasagna noodle box):

• Mushrooms
• Spinach
• Yellow Squash
• Red Peppers

Yum!  With a side of corn:

Must get to bed early tonight!  Have a wonderful evening.
