This Week’s (Non-Holiday) Eats

Happy Saturday! It actually feels so weird that it’s the weekend already after having Christmas in the middle of last week. Oh well…I’ll take it! I started my day bright and early at Om Yoga to take and teach. I was hesitant about adding a Saturday morning class to my schedule but I actually love it and look forward to it so much.

I have quite a few non-holiday eats to share with you from the past week. It’s a nice change of pace after a month of Christmas cookies and casseroles.

12.24clementines

First, it’s definitely citrus season and I’ve been making my way through plenty of clementines and oranges. I need to get on the grapefruit train too. Yum.

12.28smoothie

My Viatamix got it’s inaugural use with a green (purple) smoothie. Spinach, blueberries, bananas, mango, pineapple, chia seeds, plain greek yogurt and almond milk.

12.24lunch

Here’s a lunch with a salad and a peanut butter, honey and banana sandwich. It’s been so long since I’ve had one of these and it was amazing. Looking at this picture now makes me pretty sure I’m going to repeat this again today for lunch.

12.26salad2

This is my favorite lunch of the week. It was a salad with Christmas leftovers. Mixed greens with ham, fresh mozzarella, roasted tomatoes, avocado and pecans with Vidalia onion dressing.

12.28lunch

Carrot ginger soup and salad with mixed greens, deli chicken and ham, avocado, dried cranberries, goat cheese, walnuts and balsamic and basil olive oil.

12.22dinner

Dinners have been a little more creative. Pork tenderloin with herb roasted potatoes and roasted brocoli.

12.23dinner

Seared scallops with crispy prosciutto and sundried tomato wine sauce over parmesan cous cous and sauteed spinach with garlic and lemon.

12.28curry

And finally, a red curry bowl. I wanted something ethnic and not “meat and potatoes” last night so I whipped up a Thai curry. Red coconut curry with mixed veggies, shrimp and chicken over brown rice. Topped with fresh basil, lime and a healthy dose of Sriracha. So good.

What have your non-holiday eats looked like this week?

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 [...]
