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!
Oh my gosh, lady, please tell me where you got that amazing leopard print top!!!!!!!!
After my birthday cake-eating yesterday, I need to get healthy too! I think a mini-detox is in order!
I can’t wait to have asparagus again. Grilling it really brings out it’s flavour..yum!
Love asparagus! My favorite recovery is 9 hours of sleep…….feels so good after a crazy weekend!
The asparagus recipe sounds awesome, thanks for sharing! My fiance has recently become addicted to asparagus, so I can’t wait to make this for him!
I love that asparagus is coming back into season! One of my most favorite vegetables 🙂
I’ll take asparagus roasted, grilled or raw…but in a can or steamed? Barf. I would rather eat grass.
Yum 🙂 that asparagus looks so good!!
My favorite way to recover is by starting Monday off with a healthy breakfast and Bikram yoga to sweat everything out!
Thanks to this post, I now want Chipotle AND asparagus 😀 And I love how easy veggies are to cook–my favorite simple way will always be veg + olive oil + S&P, bake in the oven. Can’t get much easier, and the result is always so tasty!
Yummm, I love asparagus! I don’t have a george forman grill! Oh well, I guess I’ll stick to steamed 🙂
