WIAW #9

 Well well well, what have we here?
Time for another WIAW, that's what.

This post, just like the last WIAW, is actually something for me to be proud of! It includes NEW FOOD! Yay!

Breakfast:

Two hard boiled eggs, an apple and some peanut butter. Gimme mah protein. 

The eggshells (I still think it might all be in my mind, by who cares) came off easier with my little trick I discovered! 

Lunch:

Some leftover red quinoa from the previous night's dinner... red quinoa, cooked with some veggies. It tastes really awesome and I love stuffing peppers with it. I didn't in the image below, but usually I do. Perhaps a recipe next time I make it, if wanted? 

Dinner: 

Green bell peppers stuffed with ground turkey meat, some sauteed veggies (topped with Braggs Liquid Aminos!! I just got a HUGE container of it after having ran out for a few weeks. Seriously some of the most painful days of my life.) And of course, a baked sweet potato! 

What have you been eating? Seriously guys, send me pictures or message me on Twitter, Facebook, ext and I will post a round up!!

WIAW #8

For this addition of WIAW, let me warn you.

These pictures are....*gasp* actually out of my normal rotation! I figured you guys were getting really bored of the same lettuce wraps, apple and peanut butter, and paleo pancakes... so voila! A few new items have popped up into my eats.

Of course, though, there is still peanut butter..

Breakfast:

1/2 cup rolled oats with 1/2 and apple and 2 TBSP unsalted peanut butter.

I think this is the first time I have ever put the nut butter in my oatmeal. I thought I would give it a try because it seems like EVERYONE does it... sheesh, I can't go to ONE blog or have ONE visit on Pinterest  without seeing peanut butter being swirled in the mushy, grainy goodness.

However, I don't think I really cared for it this way. DON'T get me wrong, I love my peanut butter... but I think the heat of the oatmeal kind of dulled the flavor a bit. It seemed deeper, more nuttier in a sense, and I did not like it much.

Lunch:

Some fresh chicken meat from the deli with a abit of a corn and black bean mix (a bit like the mix "Texas Caviar") in a whole wheat pita pocket.

After examining the back ingredients further (even though theres only like, 5), I realized that the Sunflower oil used in them are not the best choice. I won't be buying them again. Back to Food for Life for me! (Or, of course, just stick with my homemade bread!)

Dinner:

Baked sweet potato, steamed kale with green beans and broccoli, and leftover chicken from last night's crock-potted dinner.
I sprinkled cinnamon on the sweet potato after the fact, because it makes it more like a dessert. :D

I'm kinda proud at the fact that these pictures aren't the same old, same old! But don't be expecting this often Who knows, maybe this will happen more often?

What have you been eating?

WIAW #6

Scratch Wednesday. I'm bad at this... forgive me for forgetting to snap pictures of my food Tuesday!

Anyways, I totally made up for it come Wednesday. In between a few visits with some family, I managed to snap some pictures! Woohoo!

Nothing to much from the usual. Wednesday was a yoga day, so no pre workout snack.

Breakfast:

Paleo Pancakes  (looking more and more like scrambled eggs each time?!) with blueberries with time, and of course da peanut butta. 

Lunch:

Some romaine lettuce wraps. When I make these, I usually just throw in whatever I can find around. This concoction had some hummus, avocado, a hard boiled egg... plus veggies like jicama, some home grown cucumber (from a friend!), tomato and a drizzle of mustard.

You know, its a wonder I have any friends. I eat weird combinations, sheesh. 

Dinner:

No recipe needed here. Sauteed chicken and vegetables with a baked sweet potato! It could have been baked longer...but, in this hot Texas heat, I've been trying to use the oven as little as possible (and I am really against microwaves), so I use the toaster oven. Potatoes take almost 2 hours in mine, and I grew impatient!

My normal, but whats not to love? It's always easy and yummy. Score!

Whats your favorite easy meals?
