Menu Monday
This week is a little lackluster as we've almost reached the end of our fridge. Yay!
Here's what we'll be eating this week. Link up with Rachel to play along.
Monday: Turkey Wraps with chips
I haven't had a wrap like this in a while and they are really easy. I also got the best kettle cooked chips. I only let myself eat them every once in a while, but salt and pepper kettle chips are the best.
Tuesday: Paprika Spiced Pork Chops with greens
One of KB's favorite meals is pork chops so I decided to treat him. I'm planning on making greens similar to those in the recipe, but not quite as fancy. I love greens with apple cider vinegar and dried cranberries. Yum yum.
Wednesday: Hot dogs and chips
By this point most of our dishes will be packed up and we'll be eating off of paper plates. What better thing to eat off of paper plates than hot dogs and chips. I personally love hot dogs and think they are the best. I once tried to eat 10 of them in one baseball game. Needless to say that didn't turn out too well, but I still love them.
Thursday: Something leftover or take out
It's a wild card!
Bonus Recipe: Blasamic Penne with Roasted Asparagus
I made this last night and it was amazing! It's also a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. If you like balsamic vinegar you'll really like this. You could also do it with pretty much any type of pasta or roasted vegetable.

Weekly Work It Out
Still working out, but mostly just running/walking with the dogs and moving furniture. This week I did get around to this workout...
While it looks a little cheesy, it was actually really good. I loved the 3 different workouts and they all got me really sweaty. I felt a little sore the next day but not too sore and it felt like I got a pretty good workout in during just 30 minutes. I actually did this most of the week since it had 3 different full length workouts.
This week I will be getting only 1 workout since we're moving (hopefully) next week.
I've done some Jackier Warner stuff before and loved it. She really works you out in a short amount of time. It's got three 20 minute segments and from all the reviews on Netflix it will kick your ass. I'm excited already!

Saturday Randoms
Here are some random things for Saturday.
I've been really craving chocolate oatmeal no bake cookies recently. I'm not normally a huge fan of these and I can't even rememver the last time I had them. I made them a few nights ago and they were amazing. KB and I ate the whole pan in one sitting. I made these chocolate overnight oats today. Hopefully they'll be like a healthier version of no bake cookies.
Our home buying process is making me stress through the roof. The bank still hasn't approved our loan and probably won't until April 3rd or 4th. We are scheduled to close on the 29th. The sellers will be out of town from the 30th to April 15th. Great. They gave us an extension on due diligence but not closing and we have to pay an extra $1000 in due diligence fees. Our lease is also up on our current place at the end of March. We're hoping that we can stay for one more week, but if we can't we'll be staying with KB's parents.....and driving over an hour to work every day. I pretty much hate my life right now. If this falls through we will be out over $5k and won't have anywhere to live. Home buying sucks I highly DON'T recommend it! No wonder that industry is in the toilet. Everyone working in it is an idiot.
Due to my high levels of stress my diet has consisted of mainly junk. Last night I ate oreos and milk for dinner. In the past two days I've eaten a whole bag of these. Don't judge they are delicious.
I've been reading a lot recently to try to take my mind off of all my issues. I've read these so far. They were okay. KB's mom gave me "The Shack" and "Kisser". "The Shack" is pretty Jesus-y (maybe she's trying to tell me something) and "Kisser" is a really easy read. I also read the Pioneer Woman's book. I'm not a huge Pioneer Woman fan. Growing up on a farm at lot of what she does is really unrealistic. Let's face it - if you are a regular farmer's family without a blog empire you can't just stay at home and be wonderfully home schooled domestic. Newsflash farming is not investment banking and Marlboro Man is not bringing home the bacon....or the steak....or whatever.
I went to my first thrift store today and loved it! If we weren't semi homeless right now I would have totally bought a few things. I found some Spode and Waterford for $2. There was also this really awesome vintage couch for $100, but KB hated it and I'm not sure where we would put it in our new house. I'm now on the hunt for creepy thrift stores to hit up.

Weekly Work It Out
I'm loving the extra hour of daylight in the afternoons - in fact I love it so much that I haven't been doing my workout DVDs. Whoops! We've taken the dogs for a walk everyday since the time change. We try to make them run at least a little bit, but Rosa is a fatty and doesn't like it.
I'm planning on getting these done this week....
I was planning on doing this last week but the weather was too nice. I will get this done!
I'm also planning on doing this one this week...
Based on the reviews on NetFlix this is apparently a big butt kicker. There are 3 half hour workouts that apparently will make you feel dead at the end - my favorite (no really!). I'm excited to give these a try. I've done a few Shape workouts before and really liked them.

Menu Monday
It's time to see what we're eating this week. I apoligize in adavance - it's pretty boring. We're trying to eat up all the food in the pantry and freezer so there's some boring things going on.

I love sweet potatoes and they were on sale this week! I haven't used my Crock Pot in a while so I'm excited to finally use it again. I'm not planning on making the greens just the chicken and potatoes.
Tues: Broccoli Alfredo
This is technically a recipe for chicken broccoli alfredo, but ours will just be broccoli. I'm planning on using up all of the remaining chicken on Monday. I've got a ton of spaghetti and I need to use it!
Wed: Jalapeno and Jack Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup
The jalapeno popper grilled cheeses last week were a big hit so we're trying something similar this week. Tomato soup was also on sale so I got a can to go with this. I can eat soup any time of year.
Thurs: Leftover soup from the freezer
We still have random soup and pasta in the freezer that we have to eat in the next 2 weeks. KB wasn't a huge fan of this soup the first time around, but it's gotta get eaten!
Bonus Recipe: Oreo Pudding Poke Cake
I made this last night for dinner at my parents house and it was amazing. KB ate a big piece for breakfast this morning it was so good. If you like oreos you'll like this.
