Lately.

This week flew by thanks to a couple of evening engagements. Because of this, we planned really simple dinners: soup, leftover soup, salad. A few lunches are missing too – must have been a busy week!

Foodblog-4079

Breakfasts kick off with a big bowl of overnight oats embedded with banana and chia seeds and topped with a puddle of Naturalmond butter. Frothed coffee on the side!

Foodblog-4081

Another day I had French toast with Cinnamon Swirl bread (I asked Matt to bring me a slice instead of a whole loaf for portion control!). Plus banana, coconut and almond butter and underneath – the remaining egg from toast soaking. I always scramble it as a chef’s snack.

Foodblog-4136

On a dreary dark daylight saving morning….eggs, Irish Soda Bread and banana

Foodblog-4088

A yogurt bowl with crumbled whole wheat blueberry muffin from the bakery, puffed rice cereal, Oikos, banana, chia and sunbutter

Foodblog-4122

For snacks this week I made some AnneP Bars with almond butter. Unfortunately they crumbled on me so now I have chunky granola!

Foodblog-4089

I’ve also been living off of hard-boiled eggs : )

Foodblog-101504

I went to Whiskey Jar for lunch one day and had the catfish salad with a side of cornbread.

Day two I brought some of the above eggs to my mom group along with spinach tossed in sunflower seeds and a marmalade dressing made with orange marmalade, olive oil, a splash of vinegar, dijon mustard, rosemary and salt.

Foodblog-124445

Cupcake for dessert! And a taste of banana bread – yum.

Foodblog-124450

Mazen playing and sitting like a big boy:

Foodblog-124720

It sure was an eggtastic week: spinach salad with hard boiled egg, hummus, carrots, avocado and Cville Crunch toast

Foodblog-4149

And smashed egg salad with a tsp of mayo, 2 tsp of mustard, smoked paprika, salt and pepper served over spinach with toast and orange

Foodblog-4162

For dinner on Monday we made a big pot of split pea soup that doubled as leftovers on Wednesday.

Foodblog-4083

I’m rocking the Irish Soda Bread before it’s gone!

Foodblog-4085

Here’s the soup leftovers – mixed with rice + Brussels leftovers. So pretty, yes?!

Foodblog-4127

We made some pretty delicious orange-glazed tempeh and had that over salads one night. Recipe coming next week!

Foodblog-4114

And finally, lemon-thyme chicken thighs with kale chips and roasted potatoes. Loads of ketchup!

    I finally made some Dairy, Egg, Soy and Peanut/Tree Nut Free Raisin Irish Soda Bread…just in time for St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Love all the raisins and the sweet orange icing I drizzled over top! 🙂 I am loving eggs this week too…do you think it has anything to do with Easter on the horizon? lol 🙂 Have a great weekend with the boys! 🙂

    Oh – your mention of orange glazed tempeh rekindles my adoration of one of my favorite recipes – which has its origins in (but modified) from from Colleen Patrick-Goudreau’s Color Me Vegan cookbook. I just LOVE that recipe and haven’t made it in forever! Of course, I love tempeh in all forms, and often just eat it raw and throw it cubed into my salads. (In fact, I seem to recall you eating raw tempeh sandwiches in the olden days too!)

    Happy weekend, Kath!

    your overnight oats look baked! i’m on a smoothie kick recently, but i let the rolled oats sit in almond milk so they aren’t gritty. it reminds me of your dough-boys.

    i love that your soup has the consistency of mashed potatoes. i need something to chew so it feels like dinner.

    I have a question about fat. I notice you eat a lot of it. I am trying to lose some weight and notice a lot of bogs recommend a higher fat, lower carb lifestyle. What do you think about this, and will eating high fat and lower carb make you gain or lose weight, while of course limiting some calories.

    Thanks!

    • KathEats says

      March 17, 2013 at 7:54 pm

      I think you have to figure out what works for you. I know I’d be starving without carbohydrates – my body runs on them for energy. But I find fat to satisfy me so I incorporate it into most meals as well. I don’t think lower carb will make you lose weight any faster than just cutting back on calories in general with the exception of water weight. In fact, there is research that says those on low-carb diets are much more likely to be depressed and moody (see the book The Good Mood Diet – I went to a presentation by its author but can’t seem to find the blog post where I summarized it).

        Dear Kath & J,
        I perfectly agree with Kath, same situation here. Balance (aka a bit of everything) and portion control are the key for success. I read (and recently re-read) a lovely little book about why French women do not get fat. In the book the autor, Mireille Guiliano, explains so nicely this very simple concept of balance + portion control, two factors that together with movement/sport keep you fit and healthy. It is a good and quick read, I heartly recommend it.
