What I Ate Wednesday in June…
Hey! These are my eats from Monday. I’ve been in such a food rut lately, I feel like I’ve eaten some version of this day for a week and a half now. You’ll notice that I’m already over my greek yogurt obsession, that was much more short lived than I expected- ha. Anyways- all good things going on over, busy work week and getting ready for a busy weekend. Saturday’s race day again!
Thanks to Jenn, of course. Go visit her site for more fun WIAW posts.
So, on Monday….
Guess what– this is day 10 of no coffee. Shocking, right? I’ve been so addicted, that I’m amazed I’ve lasted this long. I’ve been sipping green tea so that helps, but I actually feel a lot better without coffee and it really seems like my blood sugar is more stable. Totally happy to have made it this long….gives me hope for it being more permanent.
For breakfast, I had fruit- cheeries, a tiny pear, and a small banana. It’s summer and all I want is fruit lately. And a big mug of green tea.
Can’t get enough cherries right now!
I was so busy at work that I wasn’t hungry again until almost 1. Lunch was a quinoa salad. I’ve been making big batches lately and keeping them for multiple lunches. This one had stirfryed asparagus, peas, mushrooms, chickpeas, and spinach with quinoa and a miso dressing. So filling and a great one-bowl-dish for work.
I snacked on a peach soy yogurt. Plus some carrots and celery that I forgot to photograph.
And then dinner was leftovers– my favorite on weeknights because they make dinner so easy! A green salad and leftover roast chicken with a piece of baguette.
But now that my fridge is empty of yogurts, quinoa salads, or leftover chicken….wondering what I’m goinig to eat the rest of the week!
Hope your day goes well!
– Favorite summer fruit? Cherries all the way for me.
– Leftover- boring or lifesavers?

June 20, 2012 at 4:22 am (335 days ago)I just love quinoa salad. I am going to try it with the chickpeas, I always use white beans. That yogurt is one of my favs, but they put so much sugar in it. I always mix it with the plain unsweetened.

I used to hate leftovers, now I love, love, love them!!
Bringing your lunch to work every day will do that to a person.

Luv What You Do
June 20, 2012 at 7:48 pm (334 days ago)I live for leftovers…I’ve been eating them ALL week. This morning, I used my BBQ chicken in a wrap with salsa and avocado. So yummy! My favorite summer fruit might be blueberries, but I also love the light colored cherries. Can’t wait to pick some up in Door County Wisconsin this summer!
Rebecca
June 20, 2012 at 9:26 pm (334 days ago)That sounds like a GREAT wrap combo!

I really love watermelon, berries, peaches. Have you tried donut peaches? They are so sweet and delicious.
I used to have leftovers when I was a kid but now I appreciate why we ate them–made dinner prep easier for my mom who was busy all day at work!
