I hope you’re all enjoying the weekend. I didn’t get a chance to check in yesterday because the first copy deadline for my book is April 1 and I have been covered up trying to knock that out. I was out with a friend last night and she asked how I was doing. I replied that I was feeling good and productive but happy not to be in front of a computer screen. She commented that I was “digitally fatigued.” I thought that was a great way to put it!

I have a lot of random eats to share with you. This has been a bit of an off week. I was out Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday nights so that gets me off track with cooking but I’m always grateful for time spent with friends!

Breakfast

No breakfast to share with you because I drank a smoothie every morning. And I think we can all agree that  you’ve seen enough of those around here lately!

Lunch

3.30quinoabowl.jpg

I made a big batch of my Mexican Quinoa earlier in the week and used that for lunches and dinners. I served this lunch bowl over spinach and topped it with cheese, plain greek yogurt, guacamole and a lime wedge.

3.30saladwrap.jpg

Turkey wrap and salad. I have been buying an arugula blend lately for my salads and it really kicks up the flavor. I’m going to do a wrap tutorial soon for y’all!

3.30zoes.jpg

Lunch at Zoe’s Kitchen with a friend. I ordered the chicken salad and fruit plate. I really like the food at Zoe’s. It’s fresh and light.

Dinner

3.26porkchop.jpg

Apple stuffed pork chop with roasted sweet potatoes and baby bok choy.

3.30kaleflatbread.jpg

Kale, feta, pistachio and golden raisin flatbread when I was out one night. So good!

3.30suffedpepperspan.jpg

I used the leftover Mexican quinoa mixed in with some sauteed ground chicken to stuff peppers.

3.30stuffedpepper.jpg

I served it with broccolini. This was a really great dinner. I don’t make stuffed peppers often but they are really tasty.

Etc. 

I have lots of ETC eats for you today!

3.30ice.jpg

We discussed the book Language of Flowers for my book club on Thursday night and one of my friends went all out with the flower theme. How beautiful are these ice cubes?

3.30cocktail.jpg

She created a signature drink for the night.

3.30cookies.jpg

And also baked shortbread cookies with fresh flowers pressed in. I was so impressed!

3.30snack.jpg

ALDI vegetable chips and string cheese while I was camped out in front of the computer. Tip for not eating an entire bag of chips…portion it out!

3.30cheese.jpg

Cheese plate while out with friends.

3.30dd.jpg

And a meat plate to go along with. I made my dinner out of these two things and it was perfect! 🙂

3.30tcby.jpg

Especially when I wrapped up the night with a stop at TCBY!!!

Do you experience digital fatigue?

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 [...]

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 [...]
