Since this morning’s post was so wordy, I’ll make this brief for you all. I started the day with some chia pudding topped with dried coconut.
I love the texture. It’s like tiny tapioca that’s not quite so dense. Have you tried it yet?
I was hungry early, so at 11:15 I had lunch, a turkey burger salad.
It looks pretty boring, but there was a lot of good going on in there: lettuce,
broccoli slaw, roasted potatoes, mushrooms, turkey burger with hum-acue (hummus + bbq sauce) for dressing.
I went to the gym after lunch, and asked the hub to give me a butt kicking strength workout – which he did, and now I can’t move my arms. Job well, done, Meek. Afterwards I had a very un-photogenic banana/coconut protein shake.
I ate dinner at 4:42pm – my muscles were hungry after that workout!
Grilled chicken sausage, sautéed broccoli slaw, grilled corn
Is there anything more summery than grilled corn??
Drool.
Considering I hit up the early bird special for dinner, I’m sure I’ll be snacky later…I’m thinking some melon or peaches. I’m deep into summer-food mode right now; let’s not discuss that fact that I have less than 3 weeks until school starts. (Eeek! Why did I even type that?!?)
What time do you eat dinner? I have no set meal times during the summer. I eat when I’m hungry. Sometimes 4:30, sometimes 8:30.
Ugh, school. Such a drag. Seems like we were just reveling in the fact that we had 12 weeks (or more) of summer to play with….
WHY DOES TIME FLY????
Stop it teacher friend! I don’t even want to think about school yet!
I usually eat about 6:30 – but sometime I can’t get home… and so dinner is about 8!
We are the same way with dinner, depending on plans. Sometimes it’s 5, sometimes it’s 9!
Dinner is usually around 6PM. That corn looks delicious!
Aw man… I heart corn on the cob.
I usually eat between 6:30 and 8:00- that mostly depends on when I get off of work and get to the gym. I know 8:00 is late, but I’m also usually not going to bed until later, either- so it has time to digest.
Man oh man…….what time do I eat dinner!? My husband would answer that question with “too late”. In fact, it is usually between 7:30pm and 8:30pm, though I always strive for earlier, however my full time (9 hour) work schedule and gym/running schedule (2 to 3 week days, 1 weekend day) just don’t allow for it happen often. Glad to know I am not alone though……..=)
P.S. Love corn on the cob, peaches, melon, blueberries………ah, Summer.
i usually eat after the gym, which is around 730…sometimes earlier. i eat before the gym too though.
cannot BELIEVE that school starts so soon for you! i feel like u just got out!
hehe. gota eat when u gota eat!
love the early bird special
I got some Chia Seeds and love them! I have been just adding them to Chocolate Silk and it’s wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing
)
Depending on how hungry I am, I eat between 6:30 and 8. Today I ate at 8 because I unintentionally took a 2-hour nap when I got home from work…oops!
That chia pudding looks so delicious, I’m definitely going to try it soon!
Of all the chia usages I see around blogland your pudding makes me the most jealous! We eat dinner between 8-10:30pm, which is just freaking ridiculous.
Your salad looks so good
When I’m working we eat (usually) around 6 pm but as you said in summer we either don’t have any set times
Less than 3 weeks?! Holy smokes! My kids don’t start until the day after Labor day, can’t believe I’m about to have a 3rd grader and a kindergartner!

Where does summer go?? That plate of grilled corn and chicken sausage looks like the perfect summer meal!
i have a load of chia seeds i don’t know what to do with, how’d you make that???!!! i like to eat around 6 or 7..and dont remeind me school is so close!! lol
Here is my post on how to make the chia pudding: http://yesiwantcake.com/2010/07/14/chia-mania/
Good luck! Katie[?]
I have got to try this chia pudding. I’m ashamed to admit that I’m almost finished with an entire bag of chia seeds and have only tried them on *top* of my oats. I need to break out of the box and try something new, I think.
Usually I’ll eat dinner around 5, because that seems to be the time when my body clock lets me know I’m hungry. It just tends to work out that way.
We usually eat dinner somewhere between 6:30 and 7:30…but we have definitely been blue hairs before and gone to dinner at 5:00 before! haha!
I can’t BELIEVE it’s almost time for school to start back up. I don’t even go to school anymore and it still bums me out.
Grilled corn is the best. Looove.
I usually eat right when I get home from work. So, it depends on whether or not I go straight home, but usually around 6:15 ish.
Dinner time always depends on how hungry we are….sometimes we eat at 430, sometimes at 7. Usually no later than 730 or so…I tend to get a bit crabby without eating by then!
hmmmm chicken sausage! I used to have a very set schedule for eating–now Im like you and try to eat when Im hungry so it just varies.
your mexico trip looked HEAVENLY! the water, the swimming, the chillaxin’ – everythang! glad you had a good time lady
and congrats on the 16 push-ups! that is 15 more than i can do.
lastly, i want your dinner. corn, slaw + meat – sounds like some hearty eatin’ to me. i loves it. i do have a question about the chia seed pudding – what does it taste like? is it sweet? does it have much flavor? i haven’t really experimented with chia, and chia pudding kinda freaks me out. not going to lie.
love ya lady – let’s chat soon!
my muscles get so hungry after certain workouts that drain glucose.. snack attacks and big meals are always needed after. mmmm sausage hehe
xoxo
oh my gosh what happened to summer?! haha, craziness. have you posted that brocoli slaw before? i know i’ve seen it quit a few times, but i don’t remember seeing any scoop on the makings of said slaw…
I like to eat between 7:30-8:00. It gives ne enough tine to digest before my super early bed time and enough time to get everything done before I sit down to a relaxing dinner.
yep! I eat when i am hungry! time doesnt make a difference! it can be anywhere from 6-8 usually! that chia pudding gets me everytime! just looks so dang good!!
Oh man, summer is flying by! I’ll be subbing in the fall since I’m still waiting for teacher positions to open up. *sigh* But, I still can’t believe July is almost over! Didn’t it just start?!
We (hubby and I) usually eat dinner around 6pm. I’m fairly regular about my meal times. I like routine. But, we’ve been known to eat as early as 5pm or as late as 7pm. I have trouble eating much later than 7pm because, like you, I’m an early riser, so I’m usually in bed by 10pm.
I’m a super early eater. I usually eat dinner from 5-6. My hungriest hours are from about 11-6, so I just eat both lunch and dinner early!
We are like clock work, dinner at 7 pm. We always have eaten at that time, but now it works out perfect because it’s right after the baby goes to bed.
