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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I had a delicious Mexican-inspired wrap for lunch today: The entire recipe is in my Team in Training cookbook! Y’all should really check it out: it contains tons of tips, ideas, and over 40 recipes. Best of all, it’s only $10 and all proceeds benefit Team in Training. All wrapped up with some cherries on [...]

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 [...]

…somehow with no internet! I can access it on another computer but not really on my laptop (with all my blog stuff and photos) which means sporadic posting for the next couple days. Anyway, here’s another large recap. I’ll start with dinner last night: more pizza! Pizza seems even better in the summertime, and I [...]

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. [...]

(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 [...]
