Lately

Hope your week was filled with Legos and lima beans!

Foodblog-2

I enjoyed some really good ingredients – local trout and lima beans, hot oatmeal and a new overnight oats mix. Let’s get to it!

Foodblog-9293

A crumbled Great Harvest whole wheat blueberry lemon muffin topped with peach, banana, chia, sunbutter and Greek yogurt

Doesn’t this look like a pillow of whipped cream!? I usually put my yogurt on the bottom of bowls, but I’ve been liking the reverse – fruit/whole grains on the bottom and yogurt as the topping.

Foodblog-9294

The next day was hot oats. It’s been a while, my love. I made a double batch so I could reheat the second serving another morning. Topped with blobs of jam and sunbutter and a little coconut. Raspberries cooked inside!

Foodblog-9257

This was a new twist on overnight oats 

Foodblog-2-2

I used a new mix-your-own cereal from MixMyOwn.com (they sent it to me gratis to try). My mix featured dried bananas, hazelnuts, coconut, puffed millet, the Bircher muesli base, cinnamon and a whole vanilla bean tucked inside. There was a lot of flavor and texture in this all-in-one bowl over overnight oats! The hazelnuts were my favorite part, and the puffed millet gave it an extra layer of texture.

Foodblog--2

Apparently this was Thursday’s breakfast

Smile this !

Foodblog-9306

Scrambled eggs, nectarine, Cinnamon Raisin Walnut toast with butter and coffeeeee

Foodblog-9309

Here we have French toast on Cville Crunch with more nectarine, sun butter and coconut.

Foodblog-9188

Salad with SB&J on Cville Crunch. See that happy little yellow tomato poking out? I had both yellow tomatoes and yellow watermelon this week.

Foodblog-9203

This strange looking circle is actually a Mahi Mahi burger from Whole Foods. It tasted good, but the texture was a bit on the soggy/wet side. I baked it, so maybe next time I’ll pan fry. It was served over local greens with leftover roasted veggies, avocado and honey almonds. Honey + olive oil for dressing.

Foodblog-9208

Next we have a burgerlicious lunch –

Foodblog-9219

A No Bull Burger with Great Harvest pimento cheese served on a Popeye roll. I had a salad on the side featuring goat cheese from Everona Dairy and avocado dressed with honey and olive oil.

Foodblog-9216

Next up was a pimento cheese and avocado sandwich on Cville Crunch. This was a FANTASTIC combo!

Foodblog-9247

Served with a salad topped with more Everona herbs de Provence cheese and figs. Do figs creep you out? Just a little? I like them but sometimes their grassy flavor and mushy texture gets to me.

Foodblog-9246

Leftovers atop greens – kidney beans, roasted potatoes reheated with cheese and avocado

My favorite dinner this week was a lima bean affair!

Foodblog-9305

We got these fresh lima beans from our friends at Pot Luck Farm. I had never cooked lima beans from scratch before, but I just simmered them in water for about 30 minutes until they were soft inside. They were wonderful! I love big beans.

Foodblog-9302

We served them with wild rice, sautéed veggies and a big blob of avocado-Greek yogurt smash

Foodblog-9304

Another night I made frittatas with a bunch of summer squash, zucchini, yellow tomato, garlic, herbs, spinach and Caromont Farm Red Row cheese.

Foodblog-9287

We were too tired to make salads so we served it with wine instead ; )

Foodblog-9285

I found this trout at our market. They come already fileted and are packaged in twos for only $6. So glad to add them to our rotation! We kept it simple and cooked it without too many frills – just olive oil and salt.

Foodblog-9235

Served with green beans tossed with some toasted whole wheat GH breadcrumbs – a nice addition

Foodblog-9234

And roasted potatoes with ketchup

Foodblog-9233

Last but not least, our final night we had grilled paprika chicken legs from Free Union Grass Farm served with lots of grilled zucchini, eggplant and patty-pan squash. Great Harvest Honey Whole Wheat rolls rounded out the meal.

    Those lima beans look beautiful. I love limas but they seem to be a veggie many people aren’t fond of. Maybe they just have a weird stigma we develop as kids – like brussels sprouts or beets?

    It’s 93 and H U M I D here today but the mornings are dark making me think these hot days are winding down. Then I’ll be looking for the hot and filling return of oatmeal breakfasts. Your bowls always look delicious and I love the various combos and toppings.

    The oats in a jar sound awesome! I’ve heard good things about MixMyOwn.
    Figs do kinda creep me out. I’ve only ever had dried figs, which I love! But I haven’t gotten around to trying raw figs.
    All your meals look fantastic as usual. Have a great week, Kath!

    I think I’m going to do the salads at lunch like you with the left overs. I have scallops, roasted potatoes and grilled tuna. How does tuna salad made with avocado/Greek yogurt instead of mayo sound? Hmmmm????.

      Greek yogurt is the only way I’ve ever made tuna salad – I think it tastes great! Sometimes I add in a few dill pickles.

    I find with figs they have to be a little cooked for me to tolerate them…grilled or roasted with a drizzle of something sweet! I love a good dried fig though! 🙂 The lima bean bowl looks incredible!!! I want dive head first in to it!

    We both love figs and had a tree that produced 2-3 gallons a day in season. Needless to say we ate figs, made fig preserves, baked fig bars, which were my husbands favorite and gave them to everyone passing by. Sadly we sold that house and fig tree and moved farther north. I planted a fig tree right away here and we had five figs this year. We each ate two and hubby cut the last one in half. Yes we are grown people but we still fight over who gets the last fig. I don’t do lima beans. They creep me out.

        We usually slice them like you would a melon – in half, scoop out the seeds and then slice into half circles. You can eat the skin on the smaller ones. Then we’ll just sautee like you would zucchini, although patty-pan takes a bit longer to cook.

    Great post, Kath! 🙂 I had the same trout + greens + roasted potatoes meal yesterday. Delicious! I’m just wondering – what kind of ketchup do you buy? I’m aware that many ketchups (Heinz in particular) contain high-fructose corn syrup. What brand of ketchup are you eating?

      I currently have whole foods 365 organic, but I’ve also stocked regular Heintz and non organic. It’s not a food I eat huge quantities of (usually 🙂 ) so I wouldn’t worry about a little hfcs. Organic is probably best if you can afford it

    I have probably 8-10 summer squash waiting to be used along with a few zucchini. A frittata would be great to have ready for quick mornings… thanks for the idea 🙂 When you make the frittata do you have to do anything special to make sure it doesn’t get too watery? Do you scoop the seeds out of the squash or does it all just work out great?

    • KathEats says

      Yes, I would cook the squash well first and then pour your egg mixture on top.

      Unfortunately I can’t share that one because it’s a Great Harvest recipe, but there are lots of good ones online. Look for one that uses some greek yogurt. I used to use Kelsey’s recipe but she no longer has it online. I’ll try to replicate it soon!
