What I Ate [Over the Weekend] Wednesday
Time for a little recap of life. Ready? Here we go.
I tried to start my week of a little healthier, so this was my day of eats on Sunday:
Breakfast:
Ok, this was the same thing I always eat. Chobani 0% + stevia + blueberries + Udi’s granola.
Lunch:
I went to Chipotle after church and met up with Eric. I had a veggie burrito bol, with brown rice, veggies, black beans, every salsa (except for the hot one) guacamole and lettuce. Yes, I ate the whole thing.
Dinner:
We didn’t get hungry until later, since we ate such a big lunch, but eventually our appetite came back. I didn’t feel like doing anything complicated, so we just did pasta with asparagus for me, and meatballs for him.
My absolute favorite way to eat asparagus couldn’t be simpler:
Kitchen Grilled Asparagus:
- 10 spears of asparagus (with the ends snapped off)
- Cooking spray
- Parmesan Cheese
- Salt + Pepper
This works best on a George Foreman grill, or some other type of grill thing, but you could do it on a frying pan if you don’t have one. Just spray the cooking spray on your grill (or pan) and spread out your a-spears in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt & pepper and cook for 7-8 minutes on medium heat, until tender. Top with parmesan cheese.
I realize this is barely a recipe, but my goal is to show how EASY it is to cook asparagus! Don’t fear the greens!
As for the rest of the plate, it was Trader Joe’s high fiber pasta topped with Trader Joe’s sauce, which we spiced up with lots of seasonings. This dinner took literally less than 15 minutes, and we both enjoyed it.
And that’s how I’ve been enjoying my veggies this month!
I never thought to cook my veggies using my george forman grill. Thanks for the tip. I plan on trying this tonight 🙂
first off, you look gorgeous 🙂
second, great job on starting the week off on the healthy foot! That salad looks really good. I love my salad to have some bulk, so I either add lots of protein or some sort of grain!
I just bought asparagus yesterday! Love that it’s finally on sale/in season…. 🙂
The veggie bowl looks SO good and I Love asparagus!
I don’t think I EVER recover. 🙂 After too much ‘fun’ last Friday I needed to sweat out the toxins, then eliminate them with detox tea and kombucha. Followed that up with satisfying my cravings for cheese and mayo.
And it was all worth it.
PS- Is G-Love coming to Blogiversary Brunch on Sunday?!?!?1
I talked to him about it tonight!!! He gave me a skeptical “maybe” but I think I can turn that into a yes 😉 I’m so excited!
I’m going to chipotle tonight for dinner I’m so excited!!
Chipotle is the perfect delicious way to recover from the weekend! 😉 I get black beans, chicken, lettuce bowl and its so yummy w/ a few dashs of smoked sauce
Chipotle bowl for the win!! I haven’t had one in so long…this must change this week haha
I’ll have to try grilling asparagus, I tend to roast it but I think it would taste better grilled, thanks for the tip 🙂
I love asparagus! I need to try grilling it I just usually roast mine in the oven with the rest of my veggies.
