FFFF # 145 – Package Protocol, Thrive Market, & Life

What’s going on in your neck of the woods?  

Our governor finally ordered a stay at home order, which means nothing compared to what we’ve already been doing.  I stopped watching the news in the morning. I feel better but have zero ideas about what’s going on in my state.  Ignorance truly is bliss.  

Today we finish the last of our fresh veggies and move on to frozen. Thanks to Thrive Market and Butcher Box, I have enough meat and carbs to last quite a while, though!

I place a Thrive Market order about once a week.  Right now, you can only place orders in the morning, so I have a running list of things I want to order, and when ordering opens, I quickly fill my cart and order. 

I’ve had things in the cart before that while I’m browsing looking for other things, disappear because they are no longer available.  So, you got to be quick!

What’s your package protocol?  Mine is as follows: 

1. The package arrives on the doorstep.
2. The package is sprayed with Pursue (it’s an Amway disinfectant product) and left to sit for 10-15 minutes.  
3. The package is opened, all contents are wiped down with a Lysol wipe.  
4. The packaging is discarded, and hands are washed.  
5. Surfaces that came into contact with the package or my hands (like coming in the front door) are sanitized.  
6. Hands are rewashed. 

And repeat every single time we get it a package.  That, in and of itself, is enough to keep me from ordering anything, not 100% necessary.  

Food

On Tuesday, I shared a full day of eats AND a delicious on the fly granola recipe.  So check that out if you haven’t already! Since then, we’ve been eating all fresh food in the house up first, this next week we move on to frozen!

Last night we had the last fresh asparagus, which I roasted, frozen salmon burgers (pan-fried) from Costco, and cocktail sauce.  PS Salmon burgers are so much better pan-fried than baked, so so so, much better.  

We had my beef and broccoli recipe one night made with green beans instead, on top of quinoa.  

Brussel sprout and cheese omelet one night!  This thing was massive, even with only two eggs. I forgot how filling an omelet can be!  

I still have celery left in the fridge, so I’ve been using that to make tuna or chicken salad 1-2 times a week.  Usually, we eat it with some sort of cracker or chips and a side of carrots.  

What have you been eating?  

Leave a comment or send me a DM with three ingredients from your pantry, and I’ll help you come up with recipe ideas!

Fitness

We’ve been going on 30-40 minute walks every day in the evening when Mr. Hungry is done working, but now that it’s heating up, we are switching to the mornings soon! Mr. Hungry also convinces me to go on an outside run, at least once a week.  Sunday, I was not feeling it, but he convinced me, and of course, I was glad I went!
