Good Morning, Sunshines!
Hope everyone is having a great week. Mine's been good. Wow, I can't believe that Summer will be officially here on Friday! I have a special skinny cocktail recipe I'll post then, so pop back over and check it out.
Now, on to my eats!
Breakfast: Salmon Omelet & Fruit
Last week, I bought some fresh cod and smoked salmon and they were in the same grocery sack. I didn't get to use the cod, so I threw it in the freezer...and the salmon went with it. I didn't know how well smoked salmon would thaw so this was a risky breakfast. But it worked out! The salmon was delicious and I couldn't even tell it was frozen. Victory!
Ok, so for breakfast I had an omelet with a whole egg, an egg white and chopped smoked salmon in the middle. Paired with a piece of wheat toast and strawberries and you got yourself a superstar of a breakfast! Coffee, repeated twice, on the side as well.
Snack: Oatmeal
I wanted something different for my sensible snack today, so I packed up some oatmeal. Here's how I packed it.
Perfectly portable!!
I just measured 1/2 cup of almond milk in a mason jar (you can microwave a mason jar without the top) and grabbed an oatmeal packet and some strawberries on the run. This is my favorite oatmeal! It's soooo good!
On my lunch break, we had to take Reggie home and I was sad.
We kept my boyfriend's parents' dog, Reggie, for a little over a week while they were out of town and we really enjoyed hanging with him around the house. We still go over and walk him a couple times a week, though. So, all of us look forward to that!
Lunch: Roast Beef Lettuce Wraps
I whipped up a lovely summertime lunch of lettuce wraps (with romaine lettuce, roast beef, sharp cheddar, avocado & tomato), some chopped watermelon and baby carrots for lunch. Fresh & delicious!
After we left Reggie, Bizzy was sad and needed to be spoiled with a puppacino from Starbucks.
She is a diva dog.
I don't know where she gets it from....
So, yeah. I had an iced coffee and cake pop and had to pose like a cheeseball with both of them.
It was funny! I embarrass my boyfriend with my antics.
Snack: Peanuts
Around 4 p.m. I had a handful of peanuts. I never usually buy peanuts, because I assumed they were not as healthy of a nut as almonds, but according to this infographic they are pretty dang healthy:
Dinner: Light Shrimp Poboys & Grilled Veggies
After a rigorous boot camp workout, I walked the Bizzy dog and made my favorite Healthier Shrimp Poboys (<--click there for my recipe. It's worth it)
It was so yummy!
I also grilled some asparagus in my grill pan & microwaved a few red potatoes til cooked, then sprayed them with cooking oil (and added salt and garlic powder) and grilled those in the same pan.
A perfect, light meal!
After dinner, I was stuck. Bizzy camped out on my lap and literally would not let me move for like an hour. It's kind of nice being forced to relax. Thanks, Bizz!
Dessert Testing: Microwave Muffin Thingy
Ok, so I was testing out a recipe for a singe serving microwave dessert and I really wanted to make a healthy cookie. This ended up more like a muffin, but it was really good and dense...and worth sharing. So, here ya go. I'll share the cookie recipe once it's perfected:
Single Serve Microwave White Chocolate Macadamia Cookie Muffin 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar 1/8 tsp vanilla Pinch salt 1/2 tsp baking powder Egg white 2 tbsp wheat flour 2 tbsp flour 2 tbsp white choc chips 1 tbsp chopped macadamia nuts Combine all in a small bowl. Spray a microwave safe ramekin with cooking oil and microwave for 30-40 seconds. |
Yum!
Ok, have a lovely Wednesday, everyone.
