Hiya foodies!
Eats from last week:
Breakfasts
I classed up my overnight oats in a lovely yogurt container. Combined with iced coffee, zero dishes to do! Woo hoo! I don’t really mind washing dishes that much, but it’s just the fact that I have to wash the same dishes over and over and over and over every single day that drives me nuts sometimes!
{Yay for dishwashers}
Family egg-tastic breakfast with fruit and toast
I had this small-ish bowl of fruit, yogurt granola and nut butter before the farmer’s market one day. I had planned to maybe snack on something else but I never did. And this ended up being enough.
Hi oatmeal!
I missed you. Topped with crumbled Harvest Bar from Great Harvest and mixed with berries and cottage cheese. Sunbutter is the butter of the week.
MY OTHER RECIPES
A dreary pre-sunrise scrambled egg, banana, grape and toast plate.
This guy was crumbled Hummingbird Muffin, Greek yogurt, banana and sunbutter.
Ahh and good ole French toast! On Cinnamon Chip – a treat!
Lunches
This salad was topped with herby lentils, tomatoes from the garden, green peppers, avocado and goat cheese. With a toasted Virginia roll on the side.
Leftover quiche, salad with leftover roasted veggies and goat cheese and a peach. Lemonade water on the side.
I LOVE hydrangeas!
An amazing tomato, basil, bacon and goat cheese sandwich. On herby sourdough from the bakery. Tomato from the garden!
Salad on the side
Another No Bull Burger salad with grapes and toast. Lots and lots of tomatoes!
Here’s one of Mazen’s lunches! No Bull Burger with peas, cheese, butternut squash and carrot.
Lunch at the bakery – Pimento cheese + tofu salad with fresh High Five on the side and chutney on top!
Dinners
Easy dinner: No Bull Burger on a Virginia roll with some cheese and a big veggie-heavy salad with Annie’s Woodstock dressing.
Leftovers dinner:
London Broil and grilled veggies, caprese salad from the garden and half a Virginia roll
That’s all I got for dinners – more next week!
Absolutely delicious post! Lots of inspiration for the week ahead!! Your “”dreary” picture made me smile tho, because it still looks fantastic next to a plain bagel, donut or fast food breakfast sandwich that is the fuel for so many people. Thanks for getting my am off to a healthy start.
Those hydrangeas are beautiful, so vibrant!! That’s my absolute favorite flower there is. 🙂 Are they from your garden/yard?
The market, but we are working on growing some
My favorite too…incomparably lush and fragrant (the latter being a huge bonus!) Enjoy 🙂
I don’t even need to be hungry to finish reading your lately post and have a zillion cravings!!! Deliciousness! Sunbutter..always the nut butter of the week! Recently try Maranatha Sunflower seed butter, only salt added….pretty darn amazing! I was mightily impressed!
I’m so thankful for my dishwasher, as I despise washing the billion dishes I use each day. I used to think I hated French toast until I had an amazing graham cracker-encrusted, biscoff-stuffed French toast dish this weekend. Oh my gooooodnesssss, it was dreamy,
Wow I want that French toast!
Everything looks so great and colorrful!
I haven’t even had breakfast & I am craving all those salads you posted! 🙂
Your lunches always look fantastic! I would love to try a No Bull burger.
Those salads look amazing! I can’t wait till our garden tomatoes are ready to eat and I’ll be all some caprese salad.
Wow! I’ve never see such purple hydrangeous! Gorgeous!
Wow! Every recipe you’ve mentioned is delicious! Your lunch is superb. I wish I can prepare my meal like that. Thanks for sharing. You just made me hungry right now. :-p
I always love looking at all your colorful plates and unique bowls! The bright blue is my favorite!
Your tomatoes look delicious. And yay for chutney… Such an overlooked condiment!
I just recently did *half* of the conscious cleanse and it focuses on food pairings. So either grains with veggies or protein with veggies, no mixing of the two and fruit by itself. I actually noticed a big difference in the way I digested my meals – little to no gas and bloating, regular BMs and etc… My question is what’s your opinion on food pairing? I’m a food and nutrition major on my way to becoming an RD so I know we’ve been taught protein, carb, fat at every meal for satiety. I know you could still accomplish the three following the food pairing rules but anyways. It’s a new concept to me so I wanted to get your take on it. Thanks!
I really don’t think it’s necessary for most people (for example, I mix my foods and don’t have gas/bloating/irregularity) but those who do have trouble and have found improvement experimenting with different food combos might have something different about their guts that demand more simplicity in foods.
Our tomatoes are just starting to turn. Cannot wait for a tomato, mozzarella and basil salad. That will be pretty much all I eat for a few days once they start coming in. Best. Part. Of. Summer.
You’re plates are absolutely beautiful! There is something about eating food that has been prepared well and presented in a gorgeous way. Thanks for the post, I’m thinking I may need to add some No-Bull burgers to my menu this week. YUM!
I wish I could jump into this post and eat all that food right now!
Oh god, that salad. I love pimento cheese so much but it just doesn’t seem as good when I make it at home. I need to travel down South to get my fix! When we were in Atlanta last year I had pimento cheese with spiced saltines at a little bar and it was basically the best thing ever.
How do you make herby lentils? I’m looking for meat-free protein sources, and soy doesn’t work for me, so lentils might be my easiest go-to!
I just tossed in an herbs de Provence blend I have
Thanks very much — easy and nutritious, can’t beat it, I’ll be making these tonight 🙂
I love hydrangeas too, they are my favorite!
I eating some pimento cheese right now! Oh, my, what some beautiful fresh food in every one of these pictures! Love the healthy food on Mazen’s high chair! =)
I feel ya’ on not dirtying up more dishes than needed. I love your plates and bowls!
When you have a peach for lunch do you eat it with your meal or save it later as a snack?
Not sure why but I’ve always thought of fruit as a snack and not part of lunch. Ill have veggies for lunch but never fruit.
It’s usually the “dessert” of my lunch
Your salads look heavenly.
PS I started getting my bread from a Great Harvest nearby where I live, and I’m sold. The dakota and cinnamon chip breads have my heart.
That makes me happy : )
Yummy, yum, yum!

I’g glad someone else puts cottage cheese in their oatmeal! Everyone thinks it’s the strangest thing but they don’t know what they’re missing out on! 🙂
Your food always looks so nice, I’m not a salad lover but yours always looks delicious!
Those hydrangeas are GORGEOUS! I will now be on the hunt for them everywhere!
I love the detail you have added to the post. The piccies and food looks fantastic, very healthy and mouth watering.
Hi Kath, just wondering what a London broil is! I’m a Londoner and have never heard of it – just wondering if I’ve missed something? 🙂
It’s an American cut of beef grilled and sliced thinly – ironically not related to London which is probably why you haven’t heard of it : )

What is lemonade water? Half water, half Crystal Light?
Close…1/4 Santa Cruiz lemonade and 3/4 water
this post made me crave some nutbutters. those hydrangeas are great. are they from your garden?
Where do you get your mason jars and metal straws? I think those would be the perfect accessory to my morning iced coffee. Your eats lately look delicious.
The straws are from Amazon. ..jars collected from various place s
