WIAW #12

Hey there guys! It's that time of the week again.

This post features a few new items, with a few common items creating a bit of a deja vu sensation... lot's of peanut butter deja vu. Ha!

Breakfast:

I've seen this beforeee... Paleo pancakes! Or, okay, scratch that. Same recipe as the pancakes, except I just said FORGET THIS to the whole "lets try to make these look like pretty pancakes" idea. I threw the mix in the pan with some coconut oil and basically they turned out like sweet banana egg things.

How do I have friends? Oh well, at least everything is good in peanut butter!

With a side of baby carrots, and some homemade hummus. 

Lunch:

Leftovers from this baby I roasted Sunday night at my grandmas! It was a huge 6lb thing. Plenty of leftovers.

Dinner:

Basil Lemon Salmon (recipe to come) with sauteed vegetables and a sweet potato. Yum!

What have you guys been eating?

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?
