What I Ate Yesterday
After a totally perfect weekend of family, food, and lots of relaxing, I wasn’t exactly hopping out of bed with excitement yesterday, but the thought of breakfast was enough to convince me to exit the sheets. For the first time in a long time I wasn’t craving yogurt so I decided to switch things up. I’d gotten this box of Kodiak Power Cakes mix a month or two ago but had completely forgotten about it. When I spied it in the pantry I decided to give it a shot.
It felt sort of indulgent to have pancakes on a Tuesday morning but this stuff is legitimately healthy. For 190 calories it packs in 14g of protein and 5g of fiber. WHAT?! I know. Plus, you only have to mix it with water. I cooked these up and then drizzled a little almond butter on top.
This kept me surprisingly full until lunch!
Since I didn’t have yogurt for breakfast, I decided to pack it for lunch. Greek yogurt + berries is the best. I’m hooked on these wild blueberries! I also had a few Way Better sprouted crackers. The cracked pepper flavor is pretty darn delicious. Actually, they’re kind of addictive so it’s probably good I portioned them out!
Around 4:00 I started really craving Indian food. Alex (being the kind husband that he is) agreed so we ordered take out from Lemon. This place is soooo good. I’m glad my coworker Rob recommended it! From the outside, it doesn’t look like anything special but this is some seriously good Indian food. (Richmonders, go check it out!)
I went with aloo gobi, naan, and rice. I have got to figure out how to make this. My first attempt wasn’t as good as the real thing, so I think I need to keep trying. If anyone has a good aloo gobi recipe please share!
After dinner I walked on my treadmill desk while working on this post, until I eventually made room for something sweet. For dessert I had a scoop of Halo Top and then finished the day reading in bed. Not a bad way to start the work week!
Do you like Indian food? If so, what’s your favorite dish?
I’m linking up with What I Ate Wednesday!
I was at a work event last night and everyone was talking about Indian food. It made me crave it! I love a good curry or tikka masala!!
Mmm channa masala is one of my favorites!
A lot of people have been swearing by kodiak cakes. I really want to try them out. I actually don’t like Indian food….I had a bad experience a while back and haven’t looked back since.
Indian food is the best! I love rice, curry, and naan bread which means I am pretty much on for everything as long as it’s Indian and vegetarian! 🙂
You and me both!!
I need to find an Indian place around here, because of your food always looks wonderful. I’m not to familiar with many of the dishes, but I know I like naan 😉
Sometimes yogurt makes a great lunch, especially if I can’t think of anything else to eat. Greek yogurt is so filling!
It really is! And it’s such a simple lunch to pack!
LOVE Indian food! Curry chicken is my favorite – I am hoping to make a coconut curry chicken recipe in the crockpot soon.
Pancakes! I don’t do pancakes very often, but some days need it. I’ve never had Indian food because I’m a super picky eater (with new things – I love most food, but new stuff is hard for me hahaha) and it kind of weirds me out.
I like Indian Food, but I always stick to the same couple dishes because I really don’t know what the others are! I need to get out more. 🙂
My friend just got some Kodiak Cakes and was raving about them. I need to give them a try because I need more pancakes in my life!
I think they have them at target and most grocery stores!
Those pancakes look so good! I haven’t had Indian food in forever. Every time I eat it I think I should get it more often, then months pass again. Riley’s not a big fan, which is probably why it doesn’t make an appearance in the house very often.
Haha I think Alex prefers sushi for takeout but I just loooove Indian food!
So believe it or not, I’m not the biggest fan of Indian food despite being an Indian myself. There are, however, a few dishes which I do love including daal, channa, and tandoori anything :)! Those pancakes look like a great way to start any day!
I am with you on not liking Indian food, but we need to switch things up from The Daily Kitchen every time we go out!
Hope you’re doing well Liz!
