I bake a pizza once a week and it is good for three dinners.
I cook a pasta dish once a week and it is good for at least two dinners and a snack.
The pizza and pasta ingredients are almost identical, except the pizza has more and different types of cheeses.
I have found it best not to store up food in my fridge or freezer. More often than not it simply goes to waste.
What I eat on my days off is quite different from days I work, since on my days off I go out for coffee and buy a breakfast burrito at the same time, which I have hours later for brunch, since I do not eat breakfast per se. That is when and where I have started getting my pizza/pasta ingredients also, as they have freshly roasted sliced chicken breast, crumbled feta, and sliced red, orange, and yellow peppers as part of their salad bar set up, even at 8 in the morning. Today I also bought some pumpkin seeds mixed with thinly sliced almonds, plus craisins, for a snack. That was very economic compared to everything else. They always lift the lid to look and see what it is, probably because it is so light? I dunno. I do wonder. I mean, I have been a fairly regular shopper there for decades. Still, they peek, even after I have told them what it is. LOL. At work I normally have a chicken soup with thickly sliced toasted sour dough for brunch. Trying to get more variety into my diet does not work well, and I am averse to food prep any more beyond fashioning a pizza or cooking pasta. I had a slice of pizza when I got home from work yesterday, and part of a leftover vegetable samosa from dinner with my daughter and her aunt on Sunday. After a rather lengthy nap I ate my second piece of pizza for the evening. Tonight is two more pieces of pizza; tomorrow and Friday will be pasta. Last Friday I thought it would be nice to have corn chips with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole as a meal, something I had not done for a while. I finished off the sour cream and guacamole with my burrito this morning. There are a lot of things I cannot safely eat any more since my surgeries 4-5 years ago. My body just does not function normally any more, and that's all she wrote...
