Last Week’s Eats

Hi. I’m back in Charlotte after a whirlwind 24 hour trip to Cincinnati for Wanderulst 108. I got in bed at 8:30 tonight (wild and crazy Saturday night!) because I am so wiped out. I’m going to type up this post and then Netflix for a bit.

When it comes to recent eats, I’m happy to report that my appetite has been back in full force for a couple of weeks now. I’ve found that it works best to cook something and then eat some iteration of it again a day or two later. I enjoy cooking when I can squeeze it in but also appreciate having leftovers in the fridge that I can throw together for an easy dinner.

Here’s what ate last week!

BREAKFAST

Two scrambled eggs, a slice of pumpkin apple bread and grapes.

Green smoothie. I’ve kept them simple this week with just strawberries and bananas for the fruit (and of course peanut butter).

Sweet potato breakfast bowl with granola and peanut butter.

Another strawberry and banana smoothie made with frozen cauliflower rice because I was out of spinach.

LUNCH

Tuna salad sandwich with avocado and colby jack.

Salad with massaged kale, pears, avocado, turkey, pistachios and dried cranberries.

Tuna melt on sourdough with colby jack.

Salad with arugula, dried cranberries, pears, goat cheese, leftover pumpkin sage farro and pepitas.

DINNER

Tahini turmeric marinated baked chicken thighs with pumpkin sage farro and steamed green beans.

Frozen pizza with kale salad.

Another night of tahini tumeric chicken but with roasted broccoli.

A really yummy pasta creation with chicken sausage and artichoke hearts with tomato basil sauce. Leftover broccoli on the side.

ETC

Lots of pumpkin apple bread! Also the usual suspects like cookies and ice cream!

Off to Netflix and chill. 🙂

What are you watching on Netflix or Amazon right now? 

Tuna salad…yes or no?
