Hey guys! Happy Hump Day!
It’s downhill from now on – Friday is almost here, so hang in there!
How about I tell you of my food highlights of the past couple week as part of my “What’s on my Plate Wednesday” blog series?
Here’s the deliciousness I’ve had!
Breakfast
I am still a big fan of oatmeal with my 1000 ideas of what to top it with. Remember my post about 15 ways to eat your oats? Well, I keep adding on to those ways pretty much every morning 🙂
Oatmeal with marshmallows, raisins and cinnamon chips
Been a huge fan of oatmeal + marshmallows combination!
I also enjoyed some savory breakfasts with added protein and fats.
Hardboiled eggs, ranch, capers, wheat berries and a cheese cookie
Egg sandwich with black forest ham and cheese on an English muffin
Lunches
I have committed to eating one salad a day! It is not a streak, or a challenge or any other group activity of any sorts – just my personal commitment 🙂 So I have been pretty much eating salads for lunch in the past couple weeks (with a few exceptions where leftovers from dinner were just too tempting).
Baby spinach, sweet potato, organic chicken breast meat, black beans, leeks, hardboiled eggs, quinoa
Baby spinach, quinoa, sweet potato, avocado, hardboiled eggs
Baby spinach, canned beets, feta, sliced almonds
Dinners
It’s been a very busy few weeks – both for me and Mr. H. – at home, at work, in life in general. Trying to eat healthy with a busy schedule can be quite difficult and with the general stress of this kind of schedule the failure to eat healthy is even more upsetting and discouraging.
That is exactly the moment where my crockpot comes into play making healthy and nutritious food while I am at work 🙂
My all-time favorite – crock pot split pea soup with smoked ham
Crockpot chicken with stir-fried veggies
If we have more time in the evening, we might throw something on the grill:
Like these pork chops with kale and quinoa salad on the side
And…then, of course there are times where my best intentions collide with my husband’s appetite 🙂 Like last Friday, I made a wonderfully healthy pizza with whole grain crust, mushrooms, olives, meat and leaks…
Looks great, right?
and then Mister Husband made me dump half a bag of mozzarella on top of this goodness and we ended up eating this:
Oh well, life happens 🙂 I just love my husband and mozzarella too much 🙂
That pretty much sums it up, guys!
