in my smoothie.<\/strong> Such an easy way to get a salad each morning!\u00a0 I got some spinach this week, which only costs $1.79 for a ten-ounce bag, so it&#8217;s both cheaper and better-tasting than the spring mix I had been using.\u00a0 And probably more nutrient-dense, since the leaves are much darker.<\/p>\n<p>Lunches this week have been leftovers, plus I tossed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barillaus.com\/Home\/Pages\/Barilla_Plus.aspx\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barilla Plus<\/a> pasta in some pesto that we made from our garden and froze last summer.\u00a0 This frozen pesto has been good throughout the winter and spring on days when we don&#8217;t feel like cooking, though it doesn&#8217;t have all that wonderful freshness that it does when you eat it just a few hours after picking the basil.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30705 size-full\"

the grocery store.\u00a0 <strong>Normally I don&#8217;t even consider buying frozen pizza, but this one had so few ingredients that it seemed like a decent choice for a no-cook (well, almost) night.<\/strong> Most of the time this stuff is loaded with fake crap, but check out this ingredient list: soft wheat flour, water, salt, sunflower seed oil, brewer&#8217;s yeast, tomato sauce (made from tomatoes, water, EVOO, salt, sugar, oregano), mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, red and yellow peppers, artichokes, black olives, permesan cheese.\u00a0 That&#8217;s it!\u00a0 <strong>Nothing your grandmother wouldn&#8217;t recognize!<\/strong> Yes, it&#8217;s white flour, and there&#8217;s a good amount of saturated fat from the cheese.\u00a0 But I don&#8217;t mind that once in a while, as long as I&#8217;m getting it from real food.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30684 size-full\"

romaine lettuce hearts, something that I found through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodbuzz.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Foodbuzz<\/a> (yay sponsor!) on a blog called <a

wasn&#8217;t cooking, but this took literally two minutes of work.\u00a0 And they were really good.\u00a0 Somehow the grill adds this really beefy flavor (to lettuce?!), and I can see this being awesome with a steak or burger, if you&#8217;re into that sort of thing.<\/p>\n<p>I added a glass of Zinfandel, and my makeshift meal was complete!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter

of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/my-favorite-salad\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">my favorite salad<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>And this time the Italian food was

<\/strong>I was even more excited about this ingredient list than the pizza&#8217;s: organic grass-fed whole milk ricotta, organic wheat flour, water, organic cage-free whole eggs, sea salt, organic parsley, organic black pepper.\u00a0 <strong>That, my friends, is a killer (in a good way) list for a frozen food<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30679

made with white flour and a little fatty, but also again, from whole, real foods.\u00a0 We had it with some organic tomato sauce and some whole wheat french bread.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

another one that I wanted to try.\u00a0 Fresh, whole wheat, cheese ravioli from Buitoni, which we had last night.\u00a0 <strong>The fact that something can be called &#8220;fresh&#8221; when its use-by date is July 12 should have tipped me off that it isn&#8217;t food.<\/strong> This was really the worst meal of the bunch, nutritionally and gustatorily.\u00a0 Yes, it&#8217;s 100% whole-wheat, but a closer look at the ingredient list reveals three kinds of gums, hydrogenated soybean oil, corn syrup solids, and more yucky fake stuff.\u00a0 And it still gets away with saying &#8220;Made from natural ingredients&#8221;!\u00a0 If I&#8217;d have noticed this in the store, I wouldn&#8217;t have bought it.\u00a0 Maybe the nutrition facts look good, but you know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/nutrition-facts\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">what I think about those<\/a>.\u00a0 The ingredient list is far more important.\u00a0\u00a0 And it comes through in the taste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Until next time, no fake food!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30677 size-full\"
