So, I didn’t get my usual Monday Food & Fitness post up that I link to Running with Racheal.

I guess that weekend out of town ended with a lack of planning for the week. Now it’s time get creative and use up what we have in fridge and  pantry!

What do I know?

Meals

• I have bread in the freezer and peanut butter in the fridge. Looks like it’s going to be a week of PB Toast breakfasts!
• I put together some Quick and Easy Bowls for lunch this week based on what I had on hand. The rest will be leftovers
• I have three days to cook dinner this week.
• One of those days is just for me – I was considering this Strawberry Caprese Pasta Salad. Then I realized, we don’t have strawberries. So I may just make some Tilapia Topped with Tomatoes with this Zucchini and Onion Saute that always reminds me of Provence.
• I have pork chops, green beans and ground beef in the freezer.
• Worst case scenario, if I don’t get to the grocery store, we’ll be eating pork chops and green beans one night and Chocolate Chili another. Although, Rob has given me the go ahead on this One Pot Cheeseburger Skillet {I can’t call it a casserole or he won’t eat it!}

How’s that for last-minute planning?!

Fitness

I had some trouble with my back this weekend. Sleeping and getting out of bed has not been easy. So I’ve decided to take the doc’s advice for the next couple of days.

• Tuesday – PT Exercises & Walk
• Wednesday – PT Exercises & Walk
• Thursday – PT Exercises & Run (if feeling okay, otherwise, walk)
• Friday – REST
• Saturday – PT Exercises & Run
• Sunday – PT Exercises & Walk

What are your favorite go-to meals when you don’t get to the store and can only use what you have on hand?

What’s the best and most creative dish you’ve come up with doing that?

Cheers~
