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.*)
Baaah I want to try kabocha so bad!! I can never find it! The day I do find one though I am going to buy it and eat soup out of it, no doubt.
Love kabocha – probably one of my favorite squashes. That salad looks awesome and I am checking out the Barre site. Makes me smile as a former dancer!
I love kabocha squash! I just bought one from Tan-A. 🙂
I’m so glad you found kabocha squash! It is one of my top five favorite foods. Seriously, I crave it!
i havent tried kabocha squash before but it looks really good with that lentil soup in there!! did u go to Tan A <— my second home?!?!
No! I actually went to some totally random supermarket on Forest Hill! I just happened to be driving by (ok, I got lost) and I was like “Oh! I have to stop!” haha
what a great idea to put soup in a baked squasH! looks delicious! I havent had baked veggies in ages, really need time to prepare and my dinners have been so quick last week.
