This past Monday night, the man and I tested out a new recipe from a new cookbook, Simple Green Suppers, A Fresh Strategy for One-Dish Vegetarian Meals. We also put together some easy lunches for the next day, and I thought I’d document it all because food is fun—end of story.
Happy Wednesday! How’s your week going?
I thought I’d share a little sample of what my meals have looked like lately. This installment includes tons of veggies, fruits, grains, and fish!
The man is so good at packing lunches and planning meals, and I’m really loving the routine. It’s economical and sets you up for success (except for outlier-days like Burrito-gate).
Take a look!
I thought I’d document what I eat in a day every once in a while! These will be fun snapshots of daily diets, especially since the way my days look can vary greatly. Who doesn’t like being a fly on the wall to what people eat in a day? It’s like curiously peering into the refrigerator when you’re babysitting.
Anyway, here’s how I started the week yesterday (Monday).
It’s summertime, which means we’ve broken out the blender for refreshing fruit smoothies and healthy nut-butter shakes.
But who would’ve guessed the blender could be used to make easy, grab-and-go running fuel? Enter the Blender Muffin phenomenon, thanks to a (slightly modified) Pinterest recipe.
Bonus: they’re Clean Eating!
It’s been a week and a half since my PR at the Colfax Half Marathon, and while other big races were followed by weeks [or months… or in some cases, years] of slacking off, I have no intentions of slowing down.
I took two days off after the half, but then I jumped straight back into running regularly. I am in love with it lately and am running for much better reasons these days.
I’ve also been indulging in delicious foods, doing fun things, apartmenting-hunting, and looking forward to a Memorial Day getaway!
I’m headed into a busy season ahead: full-time work, ramping up my training and long runs for the Colfax Marathon next month, and, starting this week until July, 5 days of Grease rehearsal per week (2 of which are 5-hour choreography sessions).
I’m going to be working like a dog, moving constantly, and in need of delicious and nutritious fuel.
Here’s a day’s timeline of how I’m kicking my meals + snack-attack plan into high gear.
