The best day of the week (Thursday) was a busy one! I went for an early morning run, bible study, grocery store, my co-worker’s house to help with is little boy, a few more errands, the grocery store again (forgot something!) and was supposed to go to a concert in the park, but Meeker had to work late, so we didn’t make it. Whew! I’m actually glad to be home. In between all of those things, I ate some food.
Breakfast
Holly Style – millet toast, peanut butter, smashed banana, cinnamon, drizzle of agave
Lunch
Lettuce, broccoli slaw, mushrooms, leftover chicken sausage, hummus + BBQ+ water dressing
Luscious leaves.
Snack
Dried apples and walnuts
Dinner
Since Meeker had to work late, I pulled leftover franks and beans out of the freezer and heated them up. They held up pretty well! Since dinner, Meeker has gotten home, made some French fries, and I’m currently snacking on some of his Ore-Ida goodness. Who doesn’t love French fries??
Alright, I’m off to relax! Hope you all are having fantastic Thursday noches, and if not…smile, tomorrow is Friday! In just 12 days that will again mean something to me, but for now – I’m going to relish the summer and pretend I have no idea what day of the week it is.
What is your favorite day of the week?
School is starting again soon for me, too! I’m trying to ignore that!
Your salad looks so yummy…I need to try your dressing mixture, it sounds awesome!
Good question… who doesn’t like french fries?!! I love the ore ida crinkle fries!
And did you know ore ida now makes sweet potato fries??
My favorite day of the week is a tie between Friday and Saturday.
I’ve always been a fan of Saturdays – I love being a little bit lazy, getting things done around the house, etc.
I DO love french fries
Thursdays are my favorite day too! I love the anticipation of Fridays.
I love french fries.
mmmm….
I used to love saturdays when I was working and before kids. Now I like the weekdays when I get some time to myself when they are at school/camp.
All the millet bread I’m seeing lately is making me curious! I need to find some. French fries are great, but I’m much more in love with sweet potato fries and butternut squash fries now. Gah, where would I be without the influence of food blogs? Haha
Hey Katie,
New reader here (found you via meals&moves) and digging your blog. I noticed that you live in the lovely state of Colorado. You may have answered this elsewhere, or perhaps have omitted the info for the obvious internet creepy reasons, but I’m curious if you live in the Denver metro area….a few pictures tell me this may be a possibility. I’m currently living in Denver for a summer long work related program, and I would love to know if you have any fun fitness recommendations, ie good trail runs, fun parks, whatever. There are lots of online resources, but it’s always better to ask a local. Thanks!
ahahha agreed! reminds me of the seinfield episode “who doesnt love a thin mint?” so funny!
I LOVE FRIES
Waffle fries are the best! Ooooh and cajun fries. I’ll stop now.
Hmm…I think Saturdays are the best! No work that day and no dreaded work day to avoid.
Saturdays are by far my favorite days
Omgosh…I am sooo excited i found your blog! I fell in love with your choice of title…let me tell you…I can resist just about anything BUT cake…how can people just eat one slice? I’m not too much of a fan of french fries…but I do love mashed sweet potato! -> of course! it’s sweeter
lol
I look forward to reading more from you.
on my recent 21st bday i didn’t drink like any other teenager…oh no…I took the healthier route and proceeded to eat a whole cake…well…it did have strawberries…does that negate the chocolate and icing? LOL
Oh my, did you say hummus + BBQ+ water dressing? HOLY YUM!
I love Saturdays
it is seriously the best combo ever. i have never ever ever ever ever gotten sick of PB, banana and cinnamon. i put mine on ezekial – gah, heaven! and almond butter doesn’t work as well – something about PB baby…
It’s probably a toss-up between Friday and Saturday. I guess Friday at 5pm (when I’m done work for the week) is my favorite. Ha, h a.
Saturday!
I also like Thursday because it means the next day is Friday.
WOW only 12 days…summer vacation flew!
I think it has to be Sunday, just because it’s more relaxed than Saturday. That whole impending doom of Monday is kind of a wet blanket though.
Hey Katie, I just read your guest post on Meals and Moves and wanted to say thanks for the tips! I have been struggling to get out of bed for my morning runs and your tips were really helpful!
Why do I always forget about Holly’s wonderful pb & banana creation? I need to make a post-it note on the refrigerator door as a reminder in the morning…haha. It looks delicious!
Favorite day of the week would have to be Thursday. You have all day to look forward to the next day being Friday.
I used to say my favorite day was Saturday but now that I have Monday’s off I would say it’s Sunday. I feel special having the next day off when everyone is grumbling about going back to work.
Friday’s are my least favorite day. They draagggg on like none other.
PS I love your new header. Millet bread?
Ore-Ida fries bring back memories of burger night as a kid. My dad would grill, my mom would make the fries, and I’d load a bun with the fries instead of the meat. I was so healthy
French fries. Enough said. I used to mix them with all sorts of different herbs and spices when I was a kid and bake them. That was also when I ate them with ketchup, which I don’t really care for any more. I love when you order them in ‘fancy’ restaurants and they are served with aoli-SO good!
have a fantastic weekend.
Happy I just found your blog! I’m starting my first year as a 3rd grade teacher in September, plus planning my wedding… ahhhh! So excited, any advice?!
wow, you have to go back to school already? When did your school go on summer break?
I don’t have to go back until the 16th, and the kiddos don’t go back until the 23rd of August!
We got out May 23rd…and go back Aug. 4th, but the kiddos don’t come back until the 9th. It still seems early to me!!
Well I guess that’s about even! We didn’t get out until June 3rd and start on Aug. 16th. That first week of June was hard for us in my school district because most of the other districts nearby were already out!
Can’t wait to hear about more of your adventures with the kiddos this school year!
Favourite day.. hmm.. maybe Saturday. You can sleep long and stay up long
I love french fries!
Oh my goodness, french fries are my biggest weakness! I can pass up on death by chocolate cake, pizza, or anything else sinful, but french fries always hold a special place in my heart. <3 And on my plate.
Favorite day of the week? Hmm let's see… I'd say right now it's Sunday. It's the perfect lazy day!!
