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.*)
a day of lovely food! i loooooove kefir. be careful with the tea. i’ve learned the hard way that it can work too well.
I love how you used the squash as your soup bowl. And thanks for the Chipotle check-in heads-up!
Kabocha is the ultimate squash, I haven’t had one for ages! 🙁
I’ve just realized I haven’t bought a kabocha this winter yet! Yikes where is my head, I hope they are still in the stores. Thanks for reminding me I need Kefir too. What would I do without your blog?
Yum!! I am so jealous of the Chipotle. I always see posts about the meals, but we do not have one where I live 🙁
Mmmmmm your meals are fueling my soul right now 🙂 Ok I have had one of these K Squashes, but it wasn’t my FAV, i love me a good acorn!
xxoo
I LOVE chipolte..I need to get it more often!
I have tried Kabocha….it taste verry good. I have roasted it. But never filling my Kaboscha. Got to try it tomorrow!

So I’ve stuffed a lot of things in squash, but I’ve never used it as a SOUP bowl! Genius….and lucky for me I have one more kabocha on my counter. [I am in the midst of mourning the end of winter squash season…]
I almost bought that tea the other day….does it work? I need that FOR SURE sometimes will all of my veggie intake…
man Ive NEVER tried that squash before!! Im all about spaghetti squash which is probably why. I KNOW I love that so why try something different? lol love that you stuffed it for dinner!
