Eleven hours later, I strolled back in the door and crashed.
Here are the highlights, in terms of food at least.
¼ cup cottage cheese, 1 sliced apple, a handful of toasted cashews and cinnamon
I also had a piece of toast to fill me up.
Lunch was a hodge podge
A salad dressed with hummus, leftover jambalaya and half a banana nut muffin that I swiped from the staff lounge.
Then around 4pm, I had a pretty substantial snack.
A tangelo, two fudge babies and a mini packet of sunbutter
After coming home, I really didn’t want to cook, so I threw together a salad…quick and tasty.
A Portobello garden burger, corn, black beans, salsa and a few chips. Perfect flavor combination.
I’m planning on another early morning spin class tomorrow, so I’m thinking a snack and an early bedtime are in order. Additionally, tomorrow is my last day of the week with kiddos! We have a teacher work day on Friday, so tomorrow is pretty much my last day of the week – and there are some fun activities planned in the third grade world.
What do you eat when you don’t feel like cooking?
When I don’t feel like cooking, it’s usually steamed veggies + some sort of prepared soy meat. Lightlife products are a life saver
My go to meal has always been cheese quesadillas – microwaved! I get lazy, haha.
Your cottage cheese breakfast is so unique and looks deliciously satisfying!! Cool addition of the cashews!!
I always make oats when I’m feeling lazy. Pretty quick and easy and I’m pretty much always in the mood for them.
Whenever I feel like I not cooking, which is most of the time due to being in college, I tend to reheat the food that my mom makes on the weekend or makes during the week for the rest of the family so that I can have a meal in less than 15 minutes!!
Pretty much that exact salad + veggie burger combo
. Sometimes some cheese and crackers and veggies and hummus as a big snack rather than dinner. I freeze a lot of food I’ve made too, which helps! -Katie
When I dont feel like cooking I typically make quesidillas. Either that, or I “borrow” something from my moms fridge when Im over there. lol
I’m a tuna, goat cheese and craisin salad kind of girl when I’m not in the mood for cooking, it’s easy and high in protein with a nice salty/sweet flavor combo.. or sushi (easy, cheap and you don’t even have to clean up after!)
Also- cereal always tickles my fancy, but that’s not always the best alternative!
To be honest, popcorn or cereal. You didn’t get your good eating habits from me
Your cottage cheese salad looked yummy!
ahhh I’m so glad you are addicted to spinning!!!
Your dinner is exactly what I would go for when I just didn’t feel like cooking. You can’t beat a big ol’ salad full of veggies and flavor. Not to mention convenience. Love it!
Amy’s canned soup with lots of added random veggies I have on hand. Heated in 5 minutes!
It’s usually toast and cereal for me, when I don’t feel like cooking!
Your salad is a beauty queen!
I really need to make your fudge babies… they look so good!
When I don’t feel like cooking, I “make” something involving TJ’s Indian food in a box or their turkey meatballs. How exciting, right?
lol sorry… my fudge baby comment sounded really ridiculous when I went back and read it!
Yum…I love cashews! They are most definitely my favorite nut! When I don’t feel like cooking I typically go for an old fashioned PB&J sandwich…delish and EASY!
Friend!!
It’s been too long! Your day of eats look fantastic and I ALWAYS want that sun butter when it shows up on here
No cook days are so great sometimes…
Happy almost Friday!
I’m a big fan of soup from a can or a PB&J. Those are pretty much fail-safe options!
I just love NO COOKING DAYS!!! Yummy, looking salad! =)
work out those workouts and busy schedule girl! i am loving your assortment lunch. i am pretty sure those are my absolute faves when i have like 3/4/5 things to eat and munch on all day. let’s catch up soon – love ya!
Yummy, healthy eats!
When I don’t feel like cooking, I’m a big sandwich girl. Almond butter and jelly save my life!
not cooking never looked so good! cereal is my go-to no cook meal
I definitely turn to Ezekiel bread and any nut butter that is laying around! Usually that leads to apples and nut butter… Everything always gravitates towards apples. Dave Farmar is the man!
[...] I came home for lunch and had the exact dinner that I had yesterday. [...]
