WIAW - Sunday Eats

by 24 Comments

I figured I’d change up the WIAW this week and share some of my my weekend eats! Sunday was a fun day of eating and yuppie activities. Linking up to share the pictures! Also - very excited because today I’m meeting up with Lauren for coffee in Seattle!

BREAKFAST

I woke up and ate a couple of almonds to tide me over until breakfast! We were dogsitting this weekend and staying at our neighbor’s place, so I took this 11-month old golden retriever puppy on a short walk. He has the SWEETEST disposition. Just loves everyone and everything. Especially sticks. 20150913_082945

When I got back, Nate was still sleeping so I enjoyed some of the Apples & Honey Baked Oatmeal, which I served in some almond milk with some almond butter. So good! I blogged around for a bit before waking up the sleeping dragon.

FARMER’S MARKET

We walked the few short blocks to the Clement Street Farmer’s Market to pick up some goodies for tonight’s dinner and lunches throughout the week. There were so many good late summer fruit samples to be had! This farmer’s market always has live music and lots of good people watching, too. We grabbed ground beef and smoked salmon and lots of veggies and some pluots. Check out these BEAUTIFUL bell peppers! They are zebra striped with purple and yellow. Even my boyfriend, who grew up on a farm and is rarely impressed by veggies, was kind of in awe. 20150913_104731 (1) Took this goon on another walk around the Presidio…and then had to hose him off…. 20150913_113828 (1) LUNCH

I made a simple kale salad with balsamic and olive oil, and ate it with the freshly smoked salmon from the farmer’s market. Nate enjoyed leftovers from the night before and we shared a snack plate of Mary’s Gone Crackers, carrots, celery, the zebra striped peppers and some Beeta Ghanoush that I got with my CSA box this week. Beeta Ghanoush is a dip made with beets and almonds and lemon and garlic - it’s tasty and I LOVE the color! We recently met the farmer who makes this dip and sells it around the Bay Area, so I knew I needed to try it one day. Supposedly he makes awesome pickled vegetables too…I’ll have to grab some of those next time.

Also…yes I’m wearing Uggs. It was cold!!

SNACK

After yoga, I took home some free tea and had more of it slosh all over me than was actually dranken. At home, I snacked on an unpictured Jonagold apple and some Wild Friend’s Honey Sunflower butter. I know last week I talked about how I preferred PB, but it’s really growing on me!!

DINNER

In honor of Rosh Hashanah - the Jewish New Year- I roasted a whole chicken! I used the Barefoot Contessa recipe that Jen had raved about, and it turned out perfectly. The chicken arrived with my CSA box on Thursday, and I roasted it with fennel, carrots, and purple potatoes. We had a mixed green salad with candied pecans and apples on the side. I felt VERY pleased with my domestic-ness.

DESSERT

Unpictured rather sizeable portion of Lilly’s Dark Coconut Chocolate (love that it is sweetened with Stevia!!) plus a glass of a very juice red wine. And we watched Fast & Furious 7, which I actually enjoyed more than I expected to!

Overall, great Sunday of eats, quality time with Nate and pups, and some of my favorite activities.
