Hodge Podge

Can you believe another weekend has come and gone?!

It went quickly, and I didn’t take pictures of all my meals, but here are some highlights…

Saturday morning – savory oats. One egg, ½ sweet potato and ½ avocado – dotted with siracha. I told Meeker this was my tribute to his Irish heritage. The colors of the flag…in the wrong order.

More fruit cereal: 1 pear, 1 kiwi, pomegranate arils and a spoonful of granola – all with almond milk.

A spoonful of crunchy peanut butter and a date. The best combo ever.

A fudgy Vitatop with peanut butter – this was breakfast numero uno today. Plus some frothy café –

To achieve the froth – I put ¼ cup of almond milk (with cinnamon and allspice) into a glass jar, and shook it until my arm was tired (that’s not very long: 20 seconds max) – and then microwaved it for 20 seconds and poured it into the black coffee. It was almost like a latte! I drank it en route to church this morning – where I worked in the nursery playing with babies. They make me feel so maternal and squishy inside.

Afterwards, my in-laws took us to my desayuno segundo at Village Inn…

Multigrain pancakes with strawberries and pecan pieces. I ate about ½ this plate.

Around 3pm, I was craving veggies – so I went all out.

Here is the tray pre-roasting. Carrots, zucchini, asparagus and mushrooms. Drizzled in evoo and sprinkled with salt and garlic powder. The best meal.

I topped my half with 1 piece of chicken and a spicy mustard/balsamic vinegar mix. All pictures of the final product were blurry and ugly – so just use your imaginations on this one. Thank you.

I actually felt more hungry after this meal (my hunger is unbelievable sometimes), so I had a sandwich – of sorts.

Two slices of ww bread, one with PB and chocolate chips, the other with pumpkin butter. A delicious end to a speedy weekend.

Good news: tomorrow is essentially a Thursday because I only have a two-day-week coming up! And one of those days includes an in-classroom Thanksgiving feast – Lord help me! Aaaand then it’s THANKSGIVING! My very favorite holiday of the year! The countdown is on…

What is your favorite holiday?

  1. Oh my gosh – what does a third grade Thanksgiving feast look like? That sounds like chaos. Fortunately we are not allowed to “share food” at my school so I don’t have to do anything crazy!

    • Haha, it WILL be chaos. I will try to get some pictures that I can share on the blog (without students faces). Not sharing ANY food sounds like a BIG hassle! My kids are CONSTANTLY swapping snacks and trading lunches.

  2. those savory oats look ridiculous. i am pondering if i have enough ingredients to make something as delicious tomorrow morning. yay for short weeks – i am SO excited!

    i think my fave holiday is christmas – i just love the ritual, cheer and fun. my birthday being then doesn’t hurt either :)

  3. Thanksgiving is also my favorite holiday- mainly because we tend to do less for Christmas, and we get to see my favorite extended family, that I don’t get to see any other time. So much fun! and PIEEE.

    Loving your eats, I have yet to try savory oats, I’m thinking this Friday. I’m PLANNING AHEAD. :) hehe

  4. im buying dates today-DONE AND DONE!! omg I need to try this date/PB combo and also want to try to make my own lara bars!!! thank you for reminidng mehow much I need them in my life :)

    looove thanksgiving toO!!!

  5. I am totally loving your eats over the past few days. I especially like your date and peanut butter, I haven’t tried that yet and am wondering why!?! I think my favorite holiday is Christmas, it’s just so awesome in every way but Thanksgiving definitely holds a top spot because after all what kind of a foodie would I be if I didn’t love Turkey Day!

  6. Loving those pancakes missy! I had some chocolate chip ones tis weekend. I understand the tummy shock too- I’m basically a bottomless pit most days.

    Turkey Day is most definitely my fav holiday too! Food and fam? What could be betteR? Hope you’re having a wonderful Monday!
