Breakfast

I had a (kinda) light breakfast since I knew I would be going out to lunch. I fried an egg and had some blueberries. Of course, I had my coffee as well!

Lunch

I had lunch at a restaurant with a friend so I didn’t want to take out my camera and take pictures of my food. I didn’t want to be THAT weirdo haha! Anyway, I had boneless wings with teriyaki sauce and tater tots. I know, I know, I’m just so healthy!

Dinner

IMG_1848.JPG

I tried something a little different for dinner tonight and I loved it! It’s tortellini with asparagus, home-grown tomatoes, and pesto. Next time, I think I would keep the foods separate (I cooked it all in one pan) but overall, it was delicious! It was inspired by this recipe, but I changed a lot of it!

Breakfast

I totally forgot to take a picture of my breakfast! I documented this on a Monday that my boyfriend had decided to go into work late so I wasn’t thinking and forgot! Anyway, I had cottage cheese, a banana, and a coffee. I’m sure you know what all of those things look like anyway!

Lunch

Not sure why this came out so blurry…I had a salad with HOME-GROWN tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and white balsamic dressing. This might look like a lot of dressing, but I mixed it in. I also had a spinach wrap with tuna and corn inside. This has been one of my quick and easy go-to lunches lately!

Snack

IMG_1841.JPG

I went grocery shopping before my afternoon snack and I picked up a graze box (find them here) – the not too spicy veggie protein. I love this box specifically because it’s crunchy and salty like chips, but I feel like it’s healthy and fills me up. I also had celery with cream cheese – a childhood staple and still a great snack!

Dinner

IMG_1842.JPG

I was by myself for dinner so I decided to make one of my favorite dinners – pasta with pesto sauce. I also mix in a little olive oil with the sauce (which I just buy in a jar usually). It’s so good and I usually eat way too much of it!

Well, that’s it for today! I might have snack of ice cream soon and I’ll definitely have a cup of green tea tonight since I’ve been loving that for the past few days. What did you eat today?

After my meal plan post (find that here) I decided to start mixing in some more “What I Ate Wednesdays” so you can see if I really am following along and keeping up on my meal planning! Here’s what I ate one day this week.

Breakfast

IMG_1786.JPG

For breakfast I always have to have coffee – the darker the better, but I do add almond milk and sugar. I’ve also been trying to get better at drinking lots of water so I always fill up a water bottle as soon as I get up in the morning. On this day I also had a little cup of cinnamon applesauce as well as a NutriGrain Cinnamon Crumb Cake, which I’ve been loving for breakfast on the go!

Lunch

IMG_1789.JPG

For lunch I had leftover Cheesy pasta bake (recipe here) that I sprinkled with fresh Italian parsley. I also had more water and I found half a can of Coke in the fridge (yes it was very flat) that I finished up.

Snack

IMG_1790.JPG

For an afternoon snack, I try to either have a fruit or vegetable. Today I had carrots dipped in ranch dressing. Easy and delicious!

Dinner

Okay guys, I am so mad at myself because my boyfriend made the most delicious dinner, but I was so hungry that I didn’t even think about taking a picture until I was cleaning up dinner. I’ll try to describe what we had, but just know it’s amazing and a weekly staple for us. We had breaded chicken (coated in egg and then bread crumbs with salt and pepper) with green beans, and I also had plain noodles with butter, because a meal without pasta just seems silly to me! This is one of our favorite meals and it’s pretty cheap and easy to make as well! Hopefully sometime I’ll remember to take a picture of it!

I’m looking for more inspiration for my weekly food posts. I’m not a very creative cook, so I really don’t have many ideas for new recipes. Please give me ideas of other things to write about on the food section of my blog! Or maybe I should redesign, get rid of this category and do something else. Let me know! Anyway, this is what you get this week.

Breakfast

IMG_2888

For breakfast this morning I made something quick so I could get a few more minutes in bed. I’ve been really into peanut butter lately. I sometimes go months without eating peanut butter, and then I want to eat it every day – it’s just one of those foods I get obsessed with and then sick of. I also had a coffee.

Lunch

IMG_2889

I’m aware this is not a very appetizing-looking photo of my lunch, but it actually did taste pretty good. This was leftover from a Mexican takeout dinner last night. This is a fish taco with rice and beans on the side. Honestly, this restaurant that we ordered from is not my favorite, but everyone else in the friend group loves it.

Snack

IMG_2890.JPG

I had quite a large snack this afternoon. And even though I had coffee, I ate too much, made myself sleepy, and had to take a nap. Ugh. I made popcorn with butter and salt.

Dinner

IMG_2893

My boyfriend made dinner for us tonight. I tried to save some of my salmon and peas for lunch tomorrow so I also made myself tomato, mozzarella, and basil as a side!

Back again with a WIAW!

Breakfast

IMG_2880.JPG

I’ve been waking up SO hungry this week! I definitely could not skip breakfast! I had two fried eggs and a piece of toast with butter. Obviously I also had a coffee.

Lunch

IMG_2881.JPG

I brought my lunch to work today. I packed leftover spaghetti and turkey meatballs. Last week I posted a link to a water bottle that was not the one I had (oops) so you can find my water bottle here.

Snacks

IMG_2883

Yes I had two snacks today. i had some goldfish and water at work while my students were eating their snack. I also found my new favorite snack at home – camembert cheese on bread and a pickle. You can call me weird but it is delicious.

Dinner

I was so hungry tonight I completely forgot to take a picture of my dinner. I’ll be honest, though, and admit that we ordered pizza!

Sorry this post is going up a day late – I actually took these pictures on a Wednesday and fell asleep before I could get the post up! Anyway, here it goes!

Breakfast

IMG_2863

I just could not get out of bed this morning so I didn’t have time for breakfast. Of course, I needed that coffee though, as I was rushing around getting ready! I know it’s not healthy to not eat breakfast, but time was limited!

Lunch

IMG_2862

I packed my lunch for work today. I had leftover pasta with pesto sauce. You know that’s my favorite! I also had pretzel sticks. I’m pretty good about drinking water during the day if I drink it with a slice of lemon and lime. This water bottle is the best because it keeps my water bottle cold all day! You can find it here.

Dinner

IMG_2864

Hey I actually cooked tonight! I made salmon and asparagus in the toaster oven with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. I also had leftover mashed potatoes. This was a delicious dinner!

Here’s what I ate this week on a day that I didn’t have work (and still didn’t eat perfectly healthy)!

Breakfast

IMG_1642.JPG

I actually went to the gym this morning, yay! When I got back I was super hungry and thirsty so I had scrambled eggs with a little Mexican cheese sprinkled on top, as well as a coffee and water with lemon and lime. I’ve been finding that if I put lemon and lime in my water I like it better and I’m more likely to drink a lot!

Lunch

IMG_1649.JPG

This looks like a big lunch (and it was) but it was just leftovers from dinner a few nights ago. We had bought a rotisserie barbecue chicken, so there was a little bit left of that, although I would have preferred a flavor other than barbecue. I also had leftover mashed potatoes and green beans. As you can see, I love to put lots of pepper on my food! I drank another glass of water.

Snack

IMG_1650.JPG

I was hungry between lunch and dinner so I had a little snack. I made some tea with caffeine in it to keep me alert and I had spreadable cheese that I recently bought from a local vendor (It’s almost like cream cheese mixed with hot sauce, but much more appetizing than that sounds). I like to spread the cheese on Club crackers.

Dinner

IMG_1651.JPG

For dinner our friend came over to hangout so we just ordered pizza and garlic sticks from Pizza Hut. I usually just get the cheese pizza from there. Pizza Hut is definitely my favorite fast food pizza place!

And that’s it! I wasn’t very hungry after dinner so I didn’t end up having a snack later that night. What did you eat this week?!

 

What I Ate Wednesday – April 12, 2017

I’ve been at home with my family this week, so I was a bit spoiled. My meals were made for me – and I didn’t even have to do the dishes! We also had Easter a week early and had lots of leftovers which have been included in some of today’s meals. Enjoy!

IMG_1273.JPG

For breakfast I had a hard-boiled egg which I always like to have with a little bit of salt. I had a peach yogurt from Aldi and my usual coffee with milk and sugar. Bonus – you can see me taking the picture in the reflection on the spoon!

IMG_2335.jpg

Lunch was at a hibachi restaurant. I didn’t want to bring my big camera in, so I just took a picture with my phone – hence the lower quality. I had hibachi shrimp with fried rice, lo mein, and vegetables. I realize I also had leftover hibachi for lunch last week. I don’t go that often so it was just a coincidence!

Dinner was one of my favorites – bean dip! My mom makes it with refried beans, sour cream, and shredded cheese. We dip into it with pretzels and tortilla chips. We also had a vegetable plate with cucumbers, green peppers, carrots, and tomatoes.

IMG_1300.JPG

For dessert, I had leftovers from Easter. This is Heaven in a Bowl (really that’s it’s name) and it’s made with brownies, peanut butter cups, pudding, peanut butter, and whipped cream. So yummy!

This is not a drill – an actual blog post, not just a YouTube video! Yay finally! Hopefully I’ll get back into the swing of posting regularly. This is what I ate on a regular week day. Enjoy!

IMG_1260

For breakfast, I don’t usually eat much and I am usually much more concerned with my coffee. I had a hard-boiled egg that I had made the night before and some cottage cheese. Oh, and of course, coffee! A nice, light breakfast that’s quick and easy.

IMG_1253

Lunch was leftovers from the previous weekend. My boyfriend and I went to a hibachi restaurant with his dad and I had hibachi salmon with fried rice and veggies. It was just as good leftover after a day!

IMG_1261

When I got home from work I was hungry, but it wasn’t really time for dinner. So, I had a tea (English Breakfast Tea from Wegmans) and popcorn. I have a popcorn bowl for the microwave so it’s super easy to make. I can add as much (or as little) butter and salt as I want.

IMG_1255

For dinner I just made pasta with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese. For a vegetable I had Brussels sprouts in a garlic sauce that came in a steamable bag from Wegmans. I’m not going to lie, I was not a fan of the sauce on the Brussels sprouts, but when I bought them I didn’t realize it already came with a sauce. Oh well, lesson learned.

I was full from dinner and went to bed early, so I didn’t have an evening snack. What have you eaten this week? See you soon!

For my breakfast, I had organic oatmeal from Wegmans with brown sugar sprinkled on top. I also had a coffee with almond milk and sugar. A simple, easy, and healthy breakfast! I make my oatmeal from the instant packets and I just add boiling water.

img_1187

Not my healthiest lunch, but I was really in the mood for mac and cheese. I get the spirals from Wegmans and I add the cheese packet, butter, and almond milk. I make everything with almond milk since it lasts longer than regular milk and I can’t tell the difference in taste. I add lots of pepper on top of my mac and cheese. For my drink, I had Honest Kids Lemonade. Yes, this is a children’s drink, and yes it’s delicious

img_1188

For a little pre-dinner snack, I had celery sticks with cream cheese on them. I get the celery sticks that are pre-cut simply because I am lazy. I also had some earl grey tea.

img_1192

I came up with dinner at the last minute and I think I did a pretty good job! I had some salmon frozen that I thawed and seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. I made some brown rice and asparagus seasoned with olive oil, salt, and pepper. I made the asparagus in the oven and the salmon in the toaster oven.

Let me know what food you ate today – I am always looking for new things to try! I hope you enjoyed this What I Ate Wednesday!
