I had a student ask me at lunch over this past week what the "heck-all" I was eating. Apparently, she had not yet been introduced to my latest friend-- whole wheat pita bread.

Part of the doc's meal plan is that all breads must be whole wheat/whole grains. I picked up a pack of pitas (try saying that five times fast!) because I thought it would be a good solution for fairly no-fuss lunches.
No-fuss being key.
It's hard to get into the habit of food prep for the next day. Granted, I'm used to planning meals. I've been meal-planning our dinners for the past few months now in an effort to save on grocery bills. However, it's taken another level of planning to figure out breakfasts, lunches, and dinners (and sometimes seperate meals for the Man) while keeping up with everything else going on.
Our grocery bills have grown considerably, but I'm hoping that will drop once I have a bit more of a stockpile to pull from of doc approved foods. Thankfully the pitas are pretty inexpensive, at only about 50 cents each...
and they are worth it!
