Day 4 of the Challenge

It was kind of a challenge, too. I didn't really prepare and was running low on leftovers. For the first time ever, I ate a sweet potato for breakfast. Granted, it had cut up apple with cinnamon on it, but still. It wasn't my favorite. A few hours later, I ate another apple. My boss is the best and let me out after completing my one major task for the day so I was able to zip to the meat market while the BF finished up. I was a little bummed to find out the bacon ALL had sugar of some sort. This was sad because when I called the other day, I was assured the non-smoked bacon was sugar free. Cue the waa waaa.

On the plus side of this trip to the market, I was able to pick up enough fresh meat to last at least a couple weeks (I hope). In fact, I'm not sure I've ever bought so much meat at once...no joke. My bounty included 5lb fresh hamburger, 4 ribeye steaks, 2 packages of drumsticks, the remaining lot of THE most delicious sausages - onion. (Seriously, those suckers are in high demand. If you don't get to the market earlier enough on Sat, they sell out and it's a little heartbreaking once you've tasted them.) Oh, that's right. I also got a few hot sausages and a package of beef stew meat. 

The BF always jokes I'm on old bitty, and how I like early bird specials. There is some truth in his statements. That said, because neither of us ate lunch, we were both starving by the time we got home from work. Guess what? We ate dinner. At. 4pm. Ha. I brought him to the dark side!! *Insert evil laugh.* The steaks, as always, were amazingly fresh and delicious. I didn't think steak could be better than the stuff bought at the grocery store, but holy cow, is it ever! The difference between fresh cuts of meat and store bought...well, there really isn't any. It's a hands down kind of thing and the fresh meat wins every time.  Go healthy, fresh meat!
