Recent Eats: Eating Out

Happy Friday! I am so happy to see the arrival of the weekend. This was a brutal week for me in terms of sleep. I was out every night with various social engagements and up every morning for 5:30 a.m. clients. I do teach on Saturday and Sunday mornings but getting up at 7 a.m. feels like a luxury compared to 4:50! I’m also excited about this weekend because a great friend of mine is getting married so it’s going to be full of celebration!

Quick recent eats post for you but full of eating out. I have been so blessed to spend a ton of time with my friends lately. I had two more birthday celebration dinners with friends (and officially OVER my birthday!!!) and an engagement celebration lunch. Happy times! 🙂

Breakfast

This is the only breakfast I photographed in order to spare you green smoothies. (I did make a green smoothie about 2 hours after eating this!) Toast with lots of butter and strawberry jam and a green juice from Whole Foods.

Lunch

Lunch out at Zoe’s where I got this greek salad and hummus plate that was awesome. I added grilled chicken to it and it was perfectly cooked and topped with caramelized onions. I loved everything that was going on with this combination!

6.27salad.jpg

“Clean out the fridge” salad full of randomness. Mixed greens, deli turkey, avocado, beets, sunflower seeds, tofu, carrots, cucumbers, chick peas, sundried tomatoes and homemade honey mustard.

Pita sandwich! I love pita sandwiches but they are a PITA to make! I served this one with lots of ranch for dipping, fresh veggies and fruit.

Dinner

6.27pizza.jpg

Brixx pizza. Mushrooms, prosciutto, sundried tomatoes and artichokes.

A friend of mine treated me to dinner at Rooster’s and I think this may have been the best grouper I have every had in my life. The mixture of flavors in the dish was perfection.

Treats

A gigantic chocolate chip cookie that was soft, chewy and full of big chocolate chunks.

Did you eat out or eat in a lot this week? Any good treats?

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

So Many Dinner Ideas

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
