Eating Lately: News from Lena’s Kitchen

Hello there my fit friends! How was your Father’s Day weekend?

We had a great time celebrating our wonderful Daddy of the Family.

I personally think a step mother’s day is in order πŸ™‚ I mean, really – we’re under-celebrated… But I will probably get into that subject some other time – it is too serious and complicated.

Let’s keep it light and tasty here today, shall we?

Tasty Tuesday 2000x2000

Meranda and I are hosting our regular Link Up Party again. Link up your tasty posts below, check out other partiers, and have fun!

I am talking about my latest eats here today – things I ate and liked the most in the past week or so. If you’re interested in recipes for anything you see in this post – let me know in comments and I’ll get it to you!

{BREAKFAST}

I’ve been trying to lighten up my breakfasts and eat more fruit since it is summer.

breakfast

Cottage cheese, strawberries and blueberries

Local strawberries are not very pretty, but they are so flavorful and delicious!

{LUNCH}

I usually pack lunch:

salad

Lunch salad: spinach, avocado, almonds, blueberries, leeks, feta

Or hubby packs me lunch:

sandwich

Delicious salmon sandwich on a bagel

Or he takes me out for lunch:

lunch

Lunch at Hoss’s

{DINNER}

So one night, when we were out of pretty much everything, I put together this dinner salad from basically an empty fridge πŸ™‚ It’s a talent only women have πŸ™‚

Another night I made all this in my oven (no frying, all baking – healthy home fries bakes)

chicken and home fries

Honey mustard drumsticks and healthy home fries

Another highlight of our dinner table last week was the crock pot turkey with grapefruit. I used the recipe for Orange and Lemon Slow Cooker Turkey Β that Jade posted in the last week’s Tasty Tuesday link up, and since I didn’t have oranges, but did have grapefruit, I thought I’d swap this for that (baaaaaad idea). It was a little bitter (grapefruit), but still pretty good.

{DRINKS}

So after I told you guys that out favorite Asian restaurant in town started serving bubble Thai tea, I decided to do some research and see if I can make my own Thai tea.

Well, I got another confirmation that you can get just about anything on Amazon.

I got this awesome Thai tea mix from Amazon and made my own Thai tea!

And that’s what I ate lately, guys!

  4. Lena, ALL of your food photographs are always so beautiful! But also tasty! How ironic, you made REAL french fries, my latest post is my lazy girl’s guide to fries πŸ™‚ My favorite was the salad you made from “nothing” in your fridge, looks gourmet to me! Now, the TASTIEST thing I ate last week, I mixed together quinoa, coconut bliss hazelnut chocolate fudge icecream and PB2 for a dessert delight πŸ˜€
