Weekly Meal Plan #11 - Jan 8 Back to the Office

  

Weekly Grocery and Meal Planning #11 - Jan 8


GROCERY LIST

Supermarket

  • Apple
  • Egg
  • Kefir
  • Lettuce
  • Passionfruit
  • Pangasius
I skipped the Friday market this week because I had to visit the embassy for visa application.

STORY TIME

I submitted my promotion application and went back to the office after two week holidays. One of the perks is that our lunch reimbursement cap has increased from 12 Euro to 17 Euro. I've fully enjoyed that by getting nice meals from Uber Eats for lunch. 
Other than that, I've mostly focused on using the leftovers to clean up the fridge and come up with some interesting food combinations rather than making aesthetically pleasing meals. 

Monday lunch: waffle with apple & fig chutney, pork strip, salad
I had waffle batter left and used it as my lunch carb. This was a bit of weird combination, but worked quite nice similar to chicken and waffle. Of course pork and apple goes well together too.

Monday dinner: veal tendorloin, green beans, oven roasted potato with salami
It was refreshing to have lean steak meat, I think I prefer this over entrecote.

Tuesday lunch: avocado egg sandwich with green smoothie
The luxury of being able to order sandwich AND smoothie!

Wednesday lunch: roast beef sandwich

Wednesday dinner: octopus potato salad
The Dutch supermarket sells two octopus legs in plastic packaging, which I find convenient to use and my husband utterly disgusted. ;)
I usually chop the octopus and put it together with potato, and luckily had leftover potatoes from Monday dinner.

Friday dinner: The other octopus leg went into my seafood ramyun soup.
This was nice and warming after a long trip to the embassy.

Saturday dinner: Burger and fries
We ate out for a mini date.

Sunday lunch: chicken egg stir fried rice
I still had ginger soy sauce marinade chicken left, so made some rice for stir fried rice dish.
This is such an easy and healthy way to use the leftover ingredients in the fridge.

Sunday dinner: pangasius and creamy pasta
There was some leftover cream mushroom sauce after making lasagna two weeks ago, and I finished the bottle after making this dish.

Weekly meal plan #1 - Oct 6

Weekly Grocery and Meal Planning #1 - Oct 6 Hi, my name is Yoon. I'm an expat living in Amsterdam. I enjoy cooking healthy and tasty food and planning things, and h opefully I can stay motivated to regularly share some insight on how I plan my meals. BASIC INFORMATION: For breakfast I usually rotate between overnight oats, greek yogurt or cottage cheese with granola, protein banana bread.  I go to the office 3 times a week on Tues, Wed, Thurs and have lunch in the office.  I am mindful about protein intake for muscle building (more like maintenance now that the weather's getting chilly). I live with my husband, but we often cook our own food unless I'm making something nice for both of us. He's completely fine eating the same ground beef pasta boxes all throughout the week.
