Why it worked

Transcript

Here is everything my husband and I had for dinner this week as a 30-year-old married couple with no kids yet. It also have a plan for next week to incorporate some healthier meals and just actually cook a little bit more so I'm excited to share that with you guys. But in the meantime, this week, Monday, we did have an Aldi pizza and we watched Aldi Elementary. Tuesday night we made these sausage ravioli that I got at Aldi and some broccoli with parmesan cheese. And I forgot to take a clip, but we did watch Aldi Elementary. Today night, we got a pizza from one of our favorite places that we haven't gotten from We moved. Had to celebrate getting my sueters out and the clear margins for my skin cancer and we watched below deck. Thursday night, I made another buffalo chicken wrap. These have been amazing and wraps are officially back and we had some curly fries on the side. And tonight we were back to watching Abba Elementary. Friday night, we made some burger bowls which are one of my absolute favorite meals. And I got my deviated sternum surgery today. So obviously, we had to make something that was my favorite. Even did a fried egg on top, which was a nice little extra touch. We basically started beef watching the Hawkes on Netflix with Will Farrell. Saturday night we did pasta and meatballs with two different sauces to use up some of the stuff that we had in the fridge and continued watching the Hawkes. Finally Sunday Tom made a giant batch of pasta salad and we finished watching the Hawkes, which honestly was pretty okay. Kind of stupid, but a quick watch.
