Transcript

what we ate for dinners this week as a married no kids (yet) couple in our 30s. Monday: Trader Joe's pizza, Below Deck. This pizza was really good, but we will definitely be going back to our normal Aldi pizza. Monday night we watched Below Deck. Tuesday: Pot stickers & bao buns. I don't really remember what happened on Tuesday night, but we just had some pot stickers and bao buns that were in the freezer. And yeah, that was our dinner. Wednesday: Quesadilla, Below Deck. We made some quesadillas and these were amazing. Sometimes just a simple quesadilla really hit the spot. I think we'd been behind on an episode so we caught up on the newest episode of Below Deck. Thursday: Ice cream Sammie, Worst Neighbor Ever. So I had my ice cream for dinner, Sammie and watched Worst Neighbor Ever, which was really good. Friday: Hot Dog, Love after lock up. The weather got really bad at this time, so we did just stay inside and we couldn't find anything to watch, so we watched Love after lock up. Saturday: We were at a friend's house for the 4th of July. Totally forgot to film anything, so sorry. Sunday: Steak, fries & salad, World Cup, Not suitable for work. I always forget how simple and easy this meal is and delicious. Every single time. We watched the end of one of the World Cup games and then we watched a couple episodes of Not Suitable for Work, which I do highly recommend.
