Shop with me for a Week of Meals as a Nurse: Lunch, Snack, & TJ's inspo

[@iiAMnina]

Since you’re in a strawberry mood, try strawberry pizzas! TJ’s has everything you need. Just buy their flatbread, slice some strawberries on top, a sprinkle of goat cheese and cook in oven or toaster oven til the strawberries have melted and flatbread/cheese are golden. Then top with fresh basil, TJ’s balsamic glaze, and fresh cracked pepper. It’s my favorite summer pizza.

[@deirdramantia3044]

I would love to see a ‘what I eat in a week’ video!! I start my nurse residency later this month and am trying to get inspo for lunches/breakfasts ❤

[@itsdeziii]

I can’t believe it’s been almost 5 months in your job! I love your life for you. Love love love seeing others thrive. ❤

[@amulyaviswanatha8965]

omg please do the what you eat in a week as a nurse!! sounds like a really fun video!! LOVE you!!

[@lucianadipaolo4644]

For the eggs I usually just rip the little date off the carton and put it at the back of the egg holder :) ! I always forget to look at my pictures

[@Darklink7884]

Waking up and seeing a new upload notification from Kiara is the best feeling. Ever.

[@KiaraMadisen]

You’re the sweetest, thanks for letting me be a part of your morning!

[@Darklink7884]

@@KiaraMadisen I LOVE YOU. You are the best thing that's ever been mine.

[@holly9869]

I always find it so interesting to see US groceries - the packaging and prices are so different to here in the UK! I'm fully in a strawberry obsession too, they're so good atm!! I'm also really into pomegranate, I find it so satisfying/relaxing trying to peel the skin off and get every seed out without bursting any, keeps me entertained for a good 20 minutes lol

[@gilmoregal]

I know it’s not the most aesthetically pleasing but I rip the expiration date off the carton and stand the little rectangle in the back between eggs!! (so I can see it when I look at them or I simply forget about them lol)

[@sarainsaudi]

I have this little thermos & I enjoy packing yogurt (I use coconut) with frozen mangos. The frozen fruit makes the yogurt icy which is nice! Then I bring a small container of granola which I sprinkle on top before I eat it. I’ve also added nut butter for protein. It’s more of a breakfast flavor but it can be a lunch with extra sliced fruit and veg on the side. :)

[@jenjo8662]

It's not a specific food, but I really look forward to lunch more when I bring leftovers or meals that I made at home. It's like a nice little pick me up knowing I'm 1) saving money and 2) eating foods that I like and that are healthier for me.

[@taylorross6295]

you got me addicted to gogo squeezes as an undergrad and I'm now a grad student and still throw them in my bag for breakfast every day! I literally have the same clear fridge container to store them in LOL (I love the tropical ones!!)

[@KiaraMadisen]

Omg YES!! They are so great in a pinch..had one yesterday lol I need to try the tropical flavor!

[@roche320]

I've also found that salad kits are far more economical. I get 2 or 3 a week and then my husband and I share them. It's an easy way to quickly add some veg to another meal, and there's no leftover bits and pieces.

[@alylibri]

love your channel! im a sophomore nursing major and seeing my future through you gets me so excited. :,)

[@juliannacox4918]

Starting PT school soon and your videos have inspired me so much to try and keep balance between life and school💛💛

[@Halleys_adventures]

Omg I just miss you so much after finding you and binge watching your channel for months to catch up and now I’m 3 months into nursing school and i get so happy when I see your videos pop up ❤

[@labibliobecca]

Love your simple but balanced (and affordable) approach to eating! One of my recent vices are the Mamma Chia Strawberry Lemonade pouches. They are like applesauce or baby food pouches. I've tried other flavors from the same brand and they did not justify the price. But the strawberry lemonade kind is so juicy and refreshing, plus filling from all the fiber. I genuinely love them so much. I just ordered a 50-pack online, that is how much of a problem they've become for me.

[@svaldez4820]

I have been on a hummus with pretzels kick here lately! So good!

[@Dana-fn5zt]

I always add a can of drained tuna to the Greek salad. It makes it taste even better! I love Trader Joe's, and I do the same as you do I buy salads 2 to 3 days worth sometimes if I can get four days . Have you ever tried the Japanese fried rice at Trader Joe's, it's next to the rice that you bought. The flavor is amazing and it also has edamame in it.

[@lilysophia7317]

I always do a sweet treat. I’ve been obsessed with these keto coconut chocolate cups from Costco. I look forward to it all morning in nursing school

[@chrisindepereira8671]

Finally our ray of sunshine has returned 😂😂😊 I hope adjusting to your schedule is going well.

[@lovisasoderstrom3955]

My lunch is always leftovers from the night before, a piece of fruit, possibly some other snack and a Redbull. Tonight I made a beef and rice bowl with scrambled eggs, broccoli, sugar snap peas and cucumber. It’s my absolute favourite after gym dinner 💪🏼

[@cookiemonster7313]

Love ❤ to see how happy😊 you are with your career👩🏼‍⚕️in nursing

[@itslauramichelle992]

I randomly came across your vid and glad I did. I work from home, but I have sucha hard time trying to figure out what to eat without it being just grab a handful of chips between meetings, hehe. You have given me some ideas. Also I really wanna try the TJ Medley snack. I love how simple you make healthy eating look. It literally is as simple as planning out your meals and grabbing what you need, but sometimes seems so overwhelming. I wanna try some of the premade salads.

[@heyandhellolife]

I like to meal prep too. I’m out of my salad phase. I’ve been doing a breakfast casserole and a cabbage casserole too. I’m currently obsessed with cabbage, watermelon, and salmon rice bowls! I also love those peanut butter pretzels too! I just find it a little too expensive for me to shop regularly at TJ. My go to grocery store is Lidl. I feel like they have the best salmon selection, overall good quality meat. And interesting things to try from other countries.

[@lilysophia7317]

I’m also a first semester absn student and start in hospital next week in the surgical oncology unit!!

[@rachelabrey8656]

When I’m in a pinch, I like to bring a box of soup to work. I’ll bring a glass resealable bowl, warm up half of it in the microwave at work, and then take the other half home. It’s actually so good!

[@rose281396]

I love having some sort of fruit salad and green salad in my lunch. The fruit salad kills the sweet craving and the green salad give me the veggies I need. I mix up breakfast with protein smoothie and boiled eggs or granola and yogurt, it just depends on my mood that week.

[@KeeganActon]

Homemade ramen eggs. It's really easy to prepare in advance and goes well with rice, sriracha (or any Asian hot sauce) and more soy sauce if you want. :) I'm new to your channel and really like this first video. I'm going to watch more.

Always great thumbnails. You're always creative with your thumbnails. I think you could make movie posters as a freelancer. You can charge them $4k to 6k for a movie poster. I did a few posters and charged them for that rate. I also cut movie trailers and you can charge a trailer what ever you want like $20k+ The food is the best part of your videos. It makes me hungry.

The universe science says was not always there, it had a beginning point, the big bang, meaning it was begun/initiated in other words created, thus there should be a creator, there must be a God. Also, check this out, if you like, this is from Artificial intelligence, chat Gpt: Prophecies in Major World Religious Books Referring to Prophet Mohammed: 1. The Bible - Deuteronomy 18:18-19, John 14:16, John 16:7-14, Isaiah 42:1-13 2. The Hindu Scriptures - Bhavishya Purana, Atharvaveda Book 20 Hymn 127-129 3. The Buddhist Scriptures - Cakkavatti-Sihanada Sutta, Anguttara Nikaya III:61, Digha Nikaya III:76-77 4. The Zoroastrian Scriptures - Zand-i Vohuman Yasht, Farvardin Yasht, Dadestan-i Denig & Regarding the verses in the Quran asking to protect non-believers or polytheists, there are several that emphasize the importance of treating all people with respect and kindness, regardless of their religious beliefs. One such verse is found in Surah Al-Mumtahanah (60:8), which states: "Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly." Also In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful (If any of the polytheists seek protection from you, grant him protection) بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم(إن استجارك أحد من المشركين فأجره) Another verse in Surah Al-Anfal (8:61) encourages Muslims to make peace with their enemies, even if they are non-believers or polytheists: "And if they incline to peace, then incline to it also and rely upon Allah. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Knowing." & Regarding the verses in the Quran asking for justice and kindness, there are many such verses throughout the holy book. One example is found in Surah An-Nahl (16:90), which states: "Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded." & In terms of prophecies about Prophet Mohammed in major world religions, there are a few examples that some scholars have pointed to. One such example is found in the Bible's Book of Deuteronomy (18:18), which states: "I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him." Some Muslims interpret this verse as a prophecy about Prophet Mohammed. Because the Arabs are the brethren's of Israelites, The Arabs are descendants from Ishmael or Ismail the brother of Isaac the father of Israelites, and because the verse didn't say from amongst them or from their descendants, it said from their brethren's. Similarly, some scholars point to a passage in the Bhavishya Purana, an ancient Hindu text, as a prophecy about Prophet Mohammed. The passage describes a "holy man" who will come from Arabia and spread a new religion, and some argue that this refers to Mohammed and the spread of Islam.. Also search scientific miracles in the quran, harun yahya its nice, One God for all of us he created us all and can revive us again, God initiated everything, & he repeat/redo things too, & thats clear, we see many cycles of different things in life, also in summer for example the desert land becomes like empty and is filled with only sand, and when rain falls in abundance in spring or winter, after that small flowers & wild plants grow again, also, we see how humans and animals grow and how their body is formed from the elements which were in the sand which plants feed on which they eat, and after they die they go to the sand and their atoms/elements are taken by plants which humans & animals eat and their bodies grow from those atoms & elements found in the sand which came from previous humans & animals which died before, so God can bring us again after we die even if our atoms became in the sand he can make us from the same atoms we were made of or from other atoms if he want or make us be in a spirit form or like ghosts, any ways, everything in this life is recycled, learn if you want about the different cycles in life in nature, the food cycle or food chain, the water cycle, even the gas cycle that makes the air the oxygen &carbon dioxide &nitrogen cycles, even the energy is like recycled but only changes from form to another form. Anyways,, God created this life but it's only a temporary sample/an example of a coming everlasting one which could be either in heaven paradise or in hell. If we try to be good humans in life, and try to obey God and his messengers-including the final messenger for all humanity the prophet Mohammed- and those whom rightly represent them, for example imam Ali & ahlulbayt the family/good descendants of the prophet mohammed, then we will all go to heaven/paradise, if not then we will go to hell fire and burn in it forever. keep shining sunshine &spread the light. ...
