Tuesday’s Meals
It’s only slightly embarrassing how much ice cream we’ve eaten in the past week. But luckily I’ve been able to eat pretty healthy other than that so I’d say it all balances out, right? Here’s what my meals looked like yesterday, linking up with Jenn:
Breakfast
Berry season, please don’t go. I’m normally a yogurt + frozen blueberries girl but when fresh strawberries are around, I make room. Topped with a little cereal for crunch.
Lunch
I’m trying to do better about packing my lunch rather than buying it, and I succeeded yesterday! I love these Lumi juices (they’re a little pricy, but also super convenient) so I packed a Belmont Beet juice with a MorningStar Farms Black Bean Burger. (If you missed the Black Bean (Burger) Tacos on Monday, you better get caught up.) I got some salad greens at the cafeteria and just added a black bean burger on top. So simple & so good. I also packed a few baby carrots.
I haven’t been snacking much at work because I moved desks and now my office area is so quiet and I feel super awkward eating there. First world problems, I know.
Dinner
For dinner, I threw together a quick parmesan risotto (which actually turned out to be pretty good) and we had a little mixed green salad on the side. Nothing too fancy, although I love how this particular mix of greens has fresh parsley in it. It was kind of an unexpected kick but I love it!
Drinks
After dinner I met up with Kate & Lindsay for drinks. We hadn’t had girl time in awhile so it was fun getting to chat over some wine at Xtra’s. This used to be a fairly regular occurrence back in our “single” days. These days, it takes a bit more scheduling but it’s just as much fun!
Of course, when I got back home those cones we’re calling my name. And who am I to resist a cone? It was delicious.
I am getting a little upset about berry season slowly ending. I can’t find decent priced berries anywhere these days!
I know!! Anytime I see strawberries on sale, I snatch up a carton or two!
Wait, are you telling me you have huge medicine jars filled with cones at home? I would be eating ice cream 24/7 if those tempting things were in my face all the time.
Hahaha oh no- they were leftover from my birthday last week! But I am starting to consider keeping them there all the time. They look so cute and inviting (also… Tempting. Haha)
I love that you said “quick risotto” – mine is never quick! Please share the recipe!
Oh! I totally cheated and used this garlic primavera mix- http://www.lundberg.com/products/entrees-sides/
It makes things so much easier!
i normally eat breakfast at home but today I had breakfast at our cafeteria – your old school biscuits, jelly, eggs, and hash with a large coffee..hows that for a great start 😛 hopefully lunch will be a salad
Oh that is making me want to make risotto…yum! We are eating watermelon, blueberries and strawberries by the truckload here at our house these days.
Yum! What great eats! Would love that risotto recipe- the one I make takes FOREVER. 🙂
Oh I cheated and used a mix! Haha it saves so much time and it’s basically foolproof-

It’s the garlic primavera one! It was my first time trying it but it was really good!
Those berries look delicious! I feel really awkward eating in quiet places too. If I’m eating popcorn at the movies, I stop when it gets quiet. I don’t want to be loud crunching girl haha.
Haha yes, exactly! I feel like everyone is listening to me chew!
Can you really have too much ice cream? Lovely day of food!
Please share that risotto recipe! Looks so good!
Hah I totally cheated and used this mix for a short cut- makes it so much easier!

The garlic primavera one is really good!
Never be ashamed of ice cream : ) Today will probably be pretty boring with eats. Since I’m heading out of town tomorrow, it will just be about cleaning out the refrigerator some.
