What I Ate: Saturday
I mentioned on Monday that we had a little kayaking adventure over the weekend. I would have given you more details but since water sports and photography play well together (at least, not in this case) I don’t have anything to show you. Seriously, not being able to take any pictures was kind of a bummer, especially because the scenery was quite pretty. The weather was supposed to rain all weekend but somehow we lucked out and it really didn’t rain on us much. The sun even poked its head out a few times! So on a day full of kayaking adventure… here’s what I ate! (Thanks for hosting the What I Ate Wednesday party, Arman!)
Let’s start with breakfast! This might be my favorite meal of the day.
I wanted a breakfast that would really keep me full so I went with a smoothie. This was 1 banana, 3 tbsp peanut flour (PB2), 1/2 cup almond milk, a handful of ice, and some almond butter on the side. I’ve been loving smoothies lately!
We spent literally the whole morning kayaking. We started with some basic technique stuff (which was good, since I was totally new to kayaking) and then we paddled down the James River until about 1:00. By the time we got home I was exhausted and starving. After a hot shower that felt amazing, I ran over to Lemon and picked up some Indian food.
Alex, being the perfect husband that he is, had me order 2 things that I wanted, and he’d eat whichever, so I also got to try the channa masala. (Plus he let me have all the leftovers for future lunches. Hes’a keeper.) We ate such a late lunch and I was SO hungry that I didn’t really do any snacking in the afternoon. That’s rare for me, but my belly was full of Indian food.
Once dinner time rolled around, I kept things simple with these black bean and corn quesadillas.
I posted the recipe for these on Monday because they came out so well! I honestly didn’t expect anything great when I first started putting the quesadillas together but the feta + cheddar combo was pretty delicious. We had these with some guacamole for maximum deliciousness. Anything is better with guac.
I ended up having a few bites of Halo Top to satisfy my sweet tooth later in the evening, but we went to bed fairly early so snacking was pretty minimal! It was an exhausting day but the kayaking was so much fun. We’re lucky to live in a city that has a huge river running right through it!
i love chinese takeout food but i have never tried indian food! i gotta!
I do love a good fried rice but in my book, Indian food can’t be beat!
I just love Indian food. It has been far too long since I’ve had some 🙂 Also – I’ve been wanting to try Halo Top! I think they have it at Kroger now! I’ll have to pick some up.
Yeah! I get mine at Kroger! Ours carries chocolate and vanilla but there is a birthday cake flavor I’m dying to try!
Oooh myyy, your posts make me want to try Halo Top so badly!
Kayaking really is fun though I haven’t done it in a while. How sweet is Alex for letting you choose the dishes and keep the leftovers for yourself?! You definitely made the right choice :)!
I love kayaking, so fun! I want to get a waterproof camera so I can take pictures too as I don’t take my phone with me out of fear! haha
A waterproof camera would have been SO fun!!
my favorite kind of takeout lately has been Thai! i’m obsessed after never having had it before until this year.
and those quesadillas sound amazing- feta and cheddar is one of my favorite combos!
Those corn quesadillas are seriously calling my name. They look amazing.
I love getting Moe’s take out!
I really enjoy kayaking and being out on the open water. Any water activity makes me so hungry.
I wish I had your self control…the whole pint of Halo Top seems to disappear around me!
That Indian food looks amazing!! Well deserved after a long day kayaking! I love the Halo Top ice creams as well; they are perfect to satisfy a sweet tooth!
I haven’t tried halo yet but I should! My fave take out is probably pizza. Or Chinese, but I haven’t done a lot of Chinese take out over the last few years because now as a meatless eater, there’s no more boneless spare rib fun which was the best part 🙂
Haha yeah I don’t mind a veggie fried rice, but options are a little more limited! 😉
