I'm thoroughly enjoying the food I'm eating and the "style" of eating in my life right now. I hope you do too!
Here's what went into my belly today!
Mom was here with my peeps, so I went for a good run. Needed a little post-run fuel so I had a smoothie that's not pictured here. It consisted of 1/4 banana, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 scoop Life's Basics vegan vanilla protein, and a small handful frozen fruit.
Lunch - spicy tuna cucumber sandwiches. Combined half can tuna (get the good stuff! I love Wild Planet tuna...worth the price!), small scoop cream cheese, spicy mustard, onion powder, pepper, little hot sauce, scooped it onto cucumber slices.
And a few of these beauties!
Plus a bite of protein brownies leftover from last night for dessert!
That kept me happy until nap time. Enter my current FAVORITE snack! I could eat this everyday (ummm...actually I have been)! A generous helping of roasted cauliflower with sea salt and pepper, dipped in natural ketchup. Yes please! (Also munched on half a chicken patty, and a small spoonful of almond butter while these cooked).
Time for dinner! I LOVE a dinner that only requires three ingredients! This is a super easy, yummy way to cook up chicken! Chicken breasts, combine coconut milk, teriyaki sauce and cilantro, pour over chicken, cook and serve!
Served mine with a lovely salad and was a HAPPY woman!
(Arugula, orange bell pepper, cucumber, beets, avocado, goat cheese)
And now, my loves are bathed and tucked soundly into bed, so this mama is kickin' it with my man and a lovely glass of pinot! There you have it! That's what this sista' ate today, share with me your yummy eats!!
Ohhh sarah, living in your house must be like being at a very fancy french restaurant or something!!! Look at all these amazing foods!!! You're so talented and your husband and kids are so unbelievably blessed. You should write a cooking book!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet to say that, but really what I eat and make are SO simple, I'm just not afraid to experiment and play around with different combos! You can do EXACTLY what I'm doing, it's something anyone can do I promise! Loves....
DeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteHow much of the coconut milk, teryiaki and cilantro to you use for the chicken dish. It sounds yummy and I want to try it.
Hey Heather! It really is yummy. Sadly, I am a total "toss it together" cook. I rarely measure. But, I would say it's about half the bottle of teryiaki, whole can coconut milk, and maybe two or three tablespoons of cilantro (dried) or half a fresh bunch. I LOVE cilantro so I go a bit heavy, if you don't love the taste back it off a little. Hope you're well!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the estimates! I totally understand as I tend to throw stuff together too. I can't wait to try it.
DeleteFinally made this last night, in the crock pot cause it was too hot to turn the oven on, and it is wonderful!! Thanks for the idea!
DeleteSix cucumber slices with tuna for lunch?? Really? Is that healthy?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! That day, that worked for me, some days it's not enough. The key is to listen to your body. I eat OFTEN during the day. When I get a good helping of protein like in the tuna I'm not as hungry. Healthy is listening to your body's needs. I do tend to stick to around 1200 or 1300 calories (I can because my body is well nutrified from medical quality nutritional supplements, I'm happy to give you more about that if you're interested. When you're body gets what it needs it doesn't starve trying to pull it from nutrient deficient foods.) Thanks for your question!!
