Recent Eats: Dinner Love

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and well wishes for Sullie.

I think it’s safe to say that this furry one is feeling better if the trail of toys means anything. It seems to have just been a GI infection. I will keep you updated if anything else comes up but I think we’re in the clear for now. My heart can settle a little!

Time for a look at recent eats! Make sure to get down to the dinners because they’ve been extra delicious as of late.

Breakfast

4.9yogurt.jpg

Green smoothies every morning except one where I was craving something a little different. Peanut butter and banana muffin and pineapple Greek yogurt.

Lunch

I’ve made some really good salads recently! I loved this combo of greens, hard boiled egg, roasted butternut squash, chick peas, strawberries, walnuts, dried cranberries and honey goat cheese with whole grain honey mustard.

4.9lunchbowl.jpg

Salad with greens, pears, blue cheese, walnuts, dried cranberries, beets, and avocado with honey balsamic + half of a turkey wrap.

Another salad extravaganza similar to the first one.

Another salad but this one from Whole Foods and I won’t even try to go through what’s in this box. #saladbarproblems

Dinner

4.9pork.jpg

Balsamic slow cooker pork tenderloin over grits with roasted brussels sprouts. Recipe for pork coming soon!

4.9spaghetti.jpg

Homemade spaghetti sauce with local beef and Italian sausage that I picked up at the market. Served over spaghetti squash with a salad.

4.9fish.jpg

LOVED THIS DINNER! Tilapia with chili-lime butter served over copycat Chipotle cilantro-lime rice with roasted broccoli.

4.9bb.jpg

Burrito bowl! Leftover cilantro-lime rice, sauteed ground beef, black beans, tomatoes, avocado, cheese, cilantro, plain greek yogurt and salsa. I love any meal in bowl form. Hit the spot!

I’ll see y’all later from a special destination! Have a lovely day! 🙂

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

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 [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

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 [...]
