More muffins for you, @LyceeFruit!
I've definitely influenced my husband's diet. He used to buy his lunch every day, but then we moved in together and now we either have dinner leftovers or premade wraps/salads. We also eat in pretty much 6 nights of the week and definitely have both benefited from a wider variety of dinners cooking for the trip if us than either of us did when cooking for only ourselves.

@leggo PE I love the muffins, especially toasted lol.
I've influenced his eating habits a lot - primarily since I do most of the cooking and when he does cook, I request more veggies than he'd do if he was solo.
We've generally been pretty good about cooking in - we reigned it back in over the summer/early fall. This last week tho, oof. Even though I'm studying, I'm doing most of the planning and prepping. He is 100% expanding his cooking skills after the test. I can't take it always being my thing. He's looking forward to post-test since I've been making him do almost all of the grocery shopping the last few weeks
We got take out the other night since it was 630pm and finally asked me what was for dinner. I said "there's veggies in the fridge to cook plus leftover chicken". He called the beets turnips and said we're getting take out

Back to protein shake (30g protein). Also, was able to score a baby blender bottle at goodwill for $1. So I'm using that for work shakes instead of my huge one. Sweet!

Run Fast Eat Slow has breakfast burritos - they free really well. I ate one before my marathon. They're kinda similiar to the SK ones, no potatoes for sure.

Uh, as someone who likes to eat breakfast burritos for dinner (i.e., just last night had some simple scramble + cheese + Cholula), I am def checking out this recipe. I never figured out how to cook large amounts of toppings on my burritos.

I am thinking they could be an excellent option for a quick, relatively healthy dinner too. Our normal easy dinner is leftover soup with sourdough,. but this would be an awesome new recipe to introduce to change things up.
I've been getting all sorts of inspiration from Smitten Kitchen recently!

I've got to check them out! I haven't been able to bake as much bread as I hoped to, since I'm oddly being more sociable here than I was in NY (spare time does that), and my fridge still isn't fully stocked as much as I'd hope...since I have 18 eggs, I've just been making scrambled egg burritos for dinner when I don't have anything substantial in the fridge. I want leftover soup. I'm thinking I'll get a rotisserie this weekend and make a batch of soup from the leftovers.

You can come over for some soup! I'm making more tonight. To which boyfriend laughed and said "more soup!?"
(We've had butternut squash potato leek soup, chicken noodle soup, and kuri squash soup recently. And I'm making potato leek soup lol)

I FORGOT I HAD SOUP IN MY FREEZER. But the Rubbermaid I currently have are not the best so the lids always pop off in my fridge when I freeze all my stuff, meaning next paycheck is going towards buying that new set at Costco I saw (the one with the nice rubbery material lids instead of the plastic snap-ons). Tonight is sushi (yay!), but that would mean I need to make lunch for tomorrow, but! tomorrow dinner is thai (which should have leftovers for Friday lunch/I will be fed until I go out on bar crawl). I don't think I'm going to be drinking as much, tbh, on the bar crawls I'm going. I'm kinda not feeling the whole 'Halloween-vibe' that is going on. I never really got the holiday, so I'm not that excited? Mostly because JK never wore sexy-fun costumes when younger, and now that I'm old and fat the whole "let's dress up and go drinking" doesn't really appeal to me.
