What I Ate Wednesday

Hey there! I want to share another day of eats with you today. This is everything I ate yesterday.

I started the day with some cocoa porridge with maple syrup and hazelnuts. I made a small cup of coffee with almond milk, but since I haven't had much caffeine at all in a year I can only handle about 2 oz. of coffee at a time or I don't feel well. I'm fine with not being able to tolerate much caffeine so I'm mostly still not consuming it, but I love coffee with oatmeal so I had a little bit today : )

My lunch was a piece of toast with zesty carrot hummus, avocado slices, and an egg - YUM! I add an egg to my lunch whenever possible because I love them so much. This was delicious.

A couple hours later I had a Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bar. This recipe is one of my current favorites. It was great with my cold leftover coffee.

Before I went to babysit I had a peanut butter filled date, and I brought an apple with me to eat there.

This is a recycled picture because I forgot to take one before eating my dinner, but we had this Massaged Kale Salad with Farro Cranberries Hazelnuts and Apple along with some homemade bread. I didn't use sweet potatoes this time, and this picture has almonds instead of hazelnuts. I've been loving salads lately, this one in particular.

Today I had dessert, which was Chocolate Avocado Mousse. The first time I tasted this I wasn't crazy about it, but since I made the batch I thought I would keep trying it. By the second or third time I really liked it. I will definitely make it again. It's so rich and yummy that a small cup is really satisfying. It has become one of my favorite treats. Yay for desserts that are delicious and nutritious!

There is a lot more to life than food, but since we do need to eat every day I love that it can be so enjoyable. Food is a reminder of how abundantly blessed we are, and feeding my family a nourishing diet is something that I am not only passionate about, but I am also thankful to  have the resources to do. May your diet not control you but be something that triggers you to count your blessings.

Happy eating! 

Menu

A while back I bought a package with two huge steaks because it was on a super sale, and it has been in the freezer ever since. I figured it was about time I use it so we are having an abnormal amount of beef this week considering we don't have beef very often. I'm sure we'll enjoy it though. In fact, Marshall loves pho and has been asking for it for a while, and I love the balsamic Dijon steak pasta we are having. Looking forward to it but making up for it with a few vegetarian meals : )


Sunday - Pho -- Vietnamese noodle soup

Monday - Balsamic Dijon Steak Pasta, sauteed parsnips and carrots

Tuesday - Massaged Kale Salad with Farro Cranberries Hazelnuts and Apple, homemade bread -- Whenever we have salad for dinner I try to serve it with some homemade bread. Doesn't always happen but it makes Marshall happy. Though he doesn't mind the salads for dinner because he feels good after eating them AND they are tasty : )

Wednesday - Steak sandwiches with chipotle mayo, crispy baked edamame

Friday - Pasta with artichokes, olives, capers, and a coat of tomato sauce

Saturday - Spring hand pies with peas, onions, parsnips, and capers -- They are basically the same idea as a calzone but without sauce and cheese.
