Okay folks – the countdown officially begins, I have less than a week left until my Oh She Glows 30 day challenge begins. I will be eating exclusively from her blog (unless for some reason I need to eat out for a birthday party or something like that). This means a breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack and dessert every day from the blog! I prepped this weekend by watching Julie and Julia – and I feel exactly like Julie, nervous but excited to see if I can do it. Luckily I don’t have to do anything insane like cook live lobster, and luckily Angela creates really easy to follow and non-time consuming recipes. So I think I can do it!
One of my favourite oh she glows recipe – Glowing “Green” Pasta Primavera (I put in some pasta too ;))
I don’t expect any of you to commit to this challenge as well, but I thought I would publish all the prepping I’m doing in case you may want to participate, at least partially.
How this will work:
Each week, I will be posting my menu (probably a couple days before) along with th
e shopping list and nutritional content. That way, whoever wants to participate can do the shopping and be prepped and ready to go! Please note that I am planning to do this challenge on my own, although from time to time I will cook for two
I will be using the day before the week begins (in this case tuesday) to prep some of the recipes – usually I make any snacks in advance (muffins, bars, hummus), and at least one or two meals. I like to make my beans from dry – so I’ll often soak everything I need for the week as well.
Our tiny apartment usually looks like a bomb hits it when I have my prep day. My poor boyfriend, bless his soul, hightails it out of the suite when I’m a prepping 😉
And this is on a good day…
I will post later this week on proper prepping with this week’s list – so you are all ready to go for Wednesday if you choose to participate!
So here it is, in all it’s glory – week 1 recipes, suggested meal plan, shopping list, and nutritional content! I hope this list of grocery items doesn’t scare you… it kind of scared me to be honest but if you look closely, there are small amounts of each ingredient – and if you do a big pantry shop (see post here) – you will be prepped for this month and beyond with Oh She Glows!
