What I Ate [Here and There] Wednesday
This week has been fantastic so far, filled with delicious food, and most importantly, good friends!
We had a house full of females on Monday night for the Bachelor. I only watch the first and the last episode, but nothing in between. It’s all about efficiency 😉 I did a better job documenting Monday’s eats, so here they are!
Breakfast
Although it looks the same, I actually have been switching up my breakfast.
3/4 cup greek yogurt, 1/2 cup Keifr, 1/2 tbsp honey, 3/4 cup frozen berries. (And stevia, if needed.)
Lunch
Brown rice, black beans, peppers & onions, corn salsa, tomato salsa, guacamole, and lettuce. (Perfection.)
G-love and I went to Chipotle on Sunday night, so I took the leftovers to work on Monday. I think my co-workers were jealous, because everyone knows Chipotle is the best. (This is the original picture, because leftovers aren’t as pretty.) Also, did you know you can get free chips and salsa if you check in at Chipotle on Foursquare on weekends in March? It’s true.
Afternoon Snack
The lovely ladies at the Barre company sent me some sample bars to try! I’ve had both the Black Cherry and the Cinnamon Pecan flavors. The Cinnamon pecan was my favorite! If you’re looking for an all natural snack bar, these are great!
My picture was from my iphone and it was ugly. So please allow me to use that one from the Barre website.
Dinner
I finally tried kabocha squash! I sliced it open, scooped out the seeds, smeared it with a bit of Smart Balance Light and roasted it in the oven at 350 for about 40 minutes. Then I filled it with Trader Joe’s Organic Vegetable Lentil Soup. This was super filling and packed with protein and fiber! I wish I had discovered this before the warm weather hit! This would warm you up from the inside out!
[TMI] Evening Tea
Well, this tea speaks for itself…
But this tea really does taste great! I picked it up at the Japanese supermarket, while I was grabbing the squash. It’s really just regular tea, but I like it a lot. (*Unpictured- the wine that came before the tea.*)
I’ve never tried kabocha but heard great things! looks deelish 😀
Kabocha squash is one of my favourite foods! Just wanted to say that a got your foodie blog swap package, thank you so much! The mocha muffins survived very well, hopefully you should be receiving mine very soon!
YAY! I was afraid the muffins would get smashed or be stale! Hopefully not! I’m eagerly checking the mail everyday 🙂
love yogi teas! Great eats girl 🙂
Oh my! Soup served out of a squash bowl! That looks so good! How have I never tried that before? I’ll be changing that for sure!
What’s the taste of that particular squash like?
It’s so good!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog! For some reason, I can’t leave a comment on yours 🙁 But that’s crazy about the power outage in Boston!
I JUST tried kabocha squash on Monday! It was delicious but I gotta say- I don’t see what the hype around it is…butternut is still my favorite variety!
I love kaboucha squash it’s my favourite, so nutty in taste I like to make kaboucha crisps from the skin if I ever use one for soup!
Oh kabocha, you just can’t go wrong! I’ve been having it almost every day for the past week haha 😀 I think I’m starting to turn into one…..
Happy wiaw!
I actually really like Yogi tea- I had the opportunity to try out their “detox” tea. Not sure if it helped that much, but I pretend it did. :p
Haha I’m the same way! It’s probably all in my head 😉
Yay for trying Kabocha and eating it like a bowl! Such a good idea and one that needs to happen for me and soon 🙂
I like to roast it with some olive oil, but time to try other ways too!
I HAVE had kabocha! Just recently this year actually! 🙂 I cubed it up and baked it with cinnamon 🙂
That barre bar looks really tasty 😀 Or the flavour sounds tasty!!!!!!
