Hi everyone! Back in the blogosphere after a bit of a break away this weekend. I thought I would have some downtime to blog but we really didn’t!
I really wish I had done a WIAW for Monday, because it was such a bizarro day of eats. There are some days when you have a huge brunch, Chipotle at 3pm, snack on granola bars and chocolate until you land in SF, and then get late night tacos. That would be Monday. And there are some days when you have two salads. That would be Tuesday. Linking up to show Tuesday’s (healthier) eats!
But first, just one picture of me and my man from the wedding..
BREAKFAST
I woke up with an empty fridge, but I did have some pantry essentials still around. It felt like I had been away for a lot longer than just a four-day weekend! I made some egg white oatmeal cooked in water (womp) and topped with the last bit of PB I had on hand. It was simple and hearty. French press coffee on the side!
I then went to Core40 - I can officially say I am IN LOVE with this workout. I definitely felt last night’s tacos as I crunched my core on that megareformer machine.
LUNCH
I made a quick trip to Trader Joe’s to start to stock up the fridge. Lunch was some leftover tuna salad from last week on a bunch of curly kale, plus about a 1/4 of an avocado that wasn’t that great.
I massaged this kale into a dressing that my family has fondly referred to as “crack” dressing. A woman in my parent’s neighborhood makes and sells it, and it’s incredible addictive. Nate - ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION - has asked me for more salad when I use this dressing. My parents were nice enough to re-stock my supply when
they came up here back in August.
Also had some ACV lemonade (water + ice + tsp of ACV + juice of one lemon). It’s a tangy combination that I’ve grown to love. Make sure to buy ACV with the mother to get the probiotic plus the vinegar health benefits.
SNACK
I consider myself a PB person, although I’ve recently started to enjoy sunflower seed butter. Almond butter just didn’t do it for me…until today. I had a jar in my fridge and since I was out of PB (and didn’t buy any at TJs…*smacks forehead) I sighed and went for the AB. I decided to sprinkle a little salt over it, and it just made all of the difference! I am totally on team AB now!
Plus a gala apple that was a tad mealy.
There was a beautiful sunset!
DINNER
For dinner, I kept it simple. Salmon, more kale salad with a sesame ginger dressing from Whole Foods, and roasted eggplant. Unpictured was the last bit of the preserved lemon chimichurri on top of the salmon! I need to remake and share on the blog.
DESSERT
I had a few squares of Dandelion dark chocolate, which is just out of this world amazing. Have you heard about Dandelion? It’s San Francisco’s most famed, popular, and special chocolate store. Each bar costs $10 - it’s crazy. But you can watch people in the store hand pick EACH cocoa bean that goes into each bar. It’s kind of insane. Gotta love this city.
Thanks for stopping by!
