Huggin’ Fat
Posted: June 3, 2010 Filed under: Breakfast, Delish Dinners, Mid-Day Yummies | Tags: apples, chicken meatballs, potatoes, salad, spinach, watermelon 21 Comments »I love me some Thursdays. Even on vacation – it’s such a sweet day. I like sweet things…
Breakfast
Watermelon + apples
Sweet, juicy and delicious
Lunch
Weird hodge podge salad – broccoli slaw, spaghetti squash, black beans salsa
After this salad, I wanted to show my love for some fat.
So I hugged it. In honor of Katie’s Hug-a-fat month. My favorite fat sources are nuts and seeds – You can tell from the waning trail mix jar that I eat it often. Daily, actually. My faves are walnuts, cashews and good old peanuts.
Dinner
red potato nuggets, chicken meatballs, spinach. Everything was so yummy. I could have eaten 1000 potatoes – which I just cut into cubes, tossed in olive oil, salt and parsley, and then baked at 450* for about 40 minutes – turning halfway through.
Also, I put up a recipe page for the Raw Chocolate Cake …it’s yummy. I might make some tonight.
Happy Thursday!
Awwwww times a million! You are so cute! And funnier than funny
.
Speaking of sweet, YOU are sweet. Happy Thursday, Katie!
Love,
another Katie
Aren’t potatos like that ridiculous? I had literally never tried them before this year and after I made them last month I’m afraid to make them again because I practically made myself sick scarfing them up!
Gonna have to get the kids started on spinach, because the spinach you’re throwing around always looks soo good. We had roast potatoes tonight, too, which is always a fave in the Pate household. Happy Thursday bleeding into Friday to you, too.
Your hair is so—oo long and pretty! I buy in bulk on Almonds and Walnuts at Costco!!
I love roasted potatoes like that too. Better than chips!
you are so freakin cute! love that picccccc
i gotta hug a fat!!
roasted potatoes are my FAV!!!
Roasted potatoes are one of my favorites! Your breakfast also looks so yummy! I love fresh fruit in the morning!!
I am glad you are embracing fat! So many people (women specifically) shun fat as a “bad” thing and it definitely is not! Healthy fats are AWESOME! My favorite is trail mix too! Love! I am fan of cashews or peanuts mixed with raisins, and shredded coconut. The sweet salty combination gets me every time!
Have a good Friday pretty lady!
looks delicious! i’m a big potato fan myself!
I was definitely hugging my almond butter as I scooped it up into my mouth yesterday
haha
You and that jar ‘o healthy fat sure make a cute couple
Yum, yum, your lunch salad looks amazing! I love salsa as a dressing, especially with chickpeas thrown into the mix.
I am in LOVE with red potatoes. Theyre so good!
Trail mix and I are good friends too . . . I love making my own and always have a bag of it in my purse.
Gotta love fresh fruit
Wish you a wonderful weekend, Katie!
Brazilian XOXO´s,

Just discovered your blog and absolutely LOVE it!
Thank you!!!

I just looked at your chicken meatball recipe – what is Almond meal? where do you get it? I think the family would love these meatballs – the spinach and potatoes too! Thanks for posting this meal!
Thanks for your comment! Almond meal is just ground almonds! You can make it yourself (almonds in a food processor) – but just pulse it gradually or else you’ll end up with almond butter (not necessarily a bad thing.
). I know that Bob’s Red Mill also sells it as “Almond Flour”.
I made the chicken meatballs last night! They were so delicious! The whole family loved them……they will definitely be repeated another night!
Do you think the raw chocolate cake would work with almonds? Or does it strictly have to be with walnuts?
I’m sure it would work with almonds! Let me know if you try it out!
