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’ve had so much ice cream this summer, I might get my self-proclaimed “healthy living blogger” title confiscated. Still worth it. I’ve been loving on veggies even more though! 🙂
Hahahaha it’s just so perfect in the summer time!
Hey girl hey! So I have been reading through your blog and I love love your recipes! They look delicious and I also am so excited to hear you talk about Risotto I can’t believe how wonderful that looks and I love to find new things to experiment with. Love it and love your blog!
I hear ya on making an effort to bring lunch instead of going out! It’s so easy to pick up and go when the team says, “Chipotle? Greek town?!…INDIAN!” So kudos to you for a lunch idea I will probably ninja. And your breakfast looks beautiful. Weird compliment? Nah 🙂
Hahaha go for it! Honestly the veggie burger over salad is a favorite- it gives the salad some more staying power!
i love beet juice. it’s delish! and yes, i will glad take any of your tuesday eats
I have been loving beet juice recently.
There’s something about summer that just makes ice cream seem necessary. Based on how healthy you typically eat anyway, I’d say you’re just fine 😉

I kind of feel like some lame high schooler now that I know your girl’s nights involve wine and mine just involve coffee at Starbucks. Neither my bestie nor I are fans of alcohol, so its always coffee for us!
Hey, whatever works! Sometimes I wish I could switch our girls night to tea since it would be a little healthier 😉
Mmmm that parmesan risotto looks delicious! Risottos can be so hard to make, props!
That risotto looks banging!
Mmmm… risotto and wine is a great day! 🙂
