Morning! My meals have been a little short on creativity since our kitchen supplies are running low thanks to traveling. But I did get to use a swag bag item: With my breakfast this morning! 1/3 cup oats with water, milk, one whole banana, flax, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Look at all that [...]

Apparently I’m in love with all things grilled right now, particularly grilled sandwiches. For dinner tonight I made a wrap with leftover black beans and mashed avocado from yesterday, plus a few chopped cherry tomatoes. I packed everything together and grilled the wrap until it was nice and toasty. Along with a side of broccoli [...]
Treat Meal!

Well, not really, but burgers and fries always feels like a treat meal to me. My normal bean burger recipe (1/3 cup of black beans mashed with diced mushrooms, ancho chili pepper, and one tbsp. of WW flour) on a mini whole wheat bun with spinach (beneath the burger) and “guacamole” (just mashed avocado with [...]
The Evolution of a Dinner

It’s a long story about dinner, but I suppose I should show lunch first, right? A small white fish fillet (~2-3 oz.), baked with adobo chili pepper, in a whole wheat wrap with diced mango and red onion slices! Wrapped in aluminum foil, this kept perfectly until lunch. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired [...]

Take a look at this colorful lunch: A black bean burger on a toasted Ezekiel English muffin with my “guacamole” (just avocado + Greek yogurt), sliced mushrooms, sliced cherry tomato, and spinach. Served with some Kashi crackers and a fruit bowl of cherries and strawberries. (Plus an offscreen Adora supplement, of course. I have one [...]

That would stand for black bean burgers, of course. Dinner tonight was amazing. Plain and simple. For two servings, I combined 2/3 cup of black beans with 2 tbsp. whole wheat flour, paprika and a few chopped mushrooms. While those burgers cooked in a skillet (~4 minutes per side), the sweet potato fries were in [...]

Lots of updates today, let’s dive right in! First up is lunch yesterday, in which I tried to use up my leftover canned salmon from Thursday (I use one can for two meals). Here is salmon with chopped zucchini, red onion, and paprika. I had an Ezekiel English muffin and a clementine on the side. [...]
Foods for Summer

(First of all, check out the GIVEAWAY below!) When it comes to summer foods, I definitely have a favorite: berries. They’re just so fresh (and cheap!) during the summer. So breakfast this morning was a banana-berry bowl: I thought of having a smoothie, but I decided I would rather see and chew my berries! And [...]
