This What I Ate Wednesday is going to be short and sweet because, to be honest, I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off this week. I got back from a weekend in Iowa on Monday afternoon, have been working like a busy bee and squeezing in some friends time, all while getting ready for the thing I have been looking forward to for months now: a week in Colorado! Saturday can hurry up and get here any day now.
Instead of dragging this out any longer (because I still have several posts to write for you for next week!), let’s get right to the eats:
What I Ate Wednesday: June 17, 2015
This particular day happens to be from Sunday when I was back home in Iowa for a friend’s wedding. My day began with one of my current favorite breakfasts: a sliced whole banana topped with creamy almond butter + 2 whole eggs fried in coconut oil. Lately I have been loving adding some mustard to my eggs!
I ate lunch around 1:00. I baked up some sweet potato fries that I served alongside oven roasted turkey and peas. Carbs, protein, and veggies all in one meal? Yes please!
In the afternoon I snacked on an organic apple.
I also drank my favorite kombucha flavor: Guava Goddess from Synergy. It was just what I needed to brighten up the rainy day.
Dinner was by far my favorite meal of the day. I always take advantage of my parents’ grill whenever I am home. We grilled up burgers and brats. I chose a turkey burger that I served on a lettuce “bun.” I topped it off with onions, tomatoes, avocado, and yellow mustard. On the side I ate grilled asparagus, cantaloupe, and plantain chips.
I ended off the night with one of my favorite treats: popcorn. I am taking advantage of eating it as frequently as possible since I will be without it for a while once I start my Whole 30 in July.
What is your favorite thing to make on the grill?
