Lately

Last week’s eats on display!! I steered away from my usuals a bit this week in favor of some different creations…

b5

Eggs are still on the menu, although they are slowing down because a certain ONE YEAR OLD doesn’t seem to like his favorite food anymore!

Eggs, Cinnamon Raisin Walnut toast and berries

Foodblog-9420

Next up is a pancake stack with peaches and a little maple syrup drizzle! I’ve been using our Great Harvest mix, and my it makes a hearty pancake. These kept me full all morning.

Foodblog-9471

This day was more eggs, toast, and fruit. Simple with coffee.

Foodblog-9501

Here I had some of the Mix My Own muesli as a cold cereal with milk and berries. I loved the texture!

Foodblog--2

And finally a smoothie…made with banana, oats, yogurt, peach and milk. Served in a bowl to savor.

Foodblog-9718

Along with a slice of Cville Crunch toast and coffee

Foodblog-9715

This salad featured Oak River Salmon with avocado, yellow tomato and nectarine on the side.

Foodblog-9423

Here I had a leftover mini burger on a roll with some salad with cheese on top and sweet potato chips.

Foodblog-

The next day it was salad with all kinds of leftovers on top – tofu with cheese, roasted potatoes, some happy tomatoes, avocado and addicting sweet potato chips on the edge (of glory).

Foodblog-9518

For this lunch I had my friends over so I ate this before they arrived but left room for snacks. A pimento cheese sandwich with greens and green beans. I nibbled on a bit more fruit, cheese and cookies later in the afternoon

Foodblog-9694

I was on the ball one day I baked some sweet potato fries for our lunch. I ate way too many straight from the pan!

Foodblog-9683

So here is the rest of what I had when I sat down: tomatoes, more sweet potato, avocado and pimento cheese.

Foodblog-9706

Yum!

Maze-9687Maze-9691

Foodblog-9506

The above are some loaded nachos with chicken, tomatoes, cheese and yogurt-guacamole. Yum!! Served with a salad of local greens, dill, and a honey+olive oil drizzle

Foodblog-9504

Another night we had fish – the local trout from our market that I am obsessed with.

Foodblog-9659

We breaded it in Italian panko (from Whole Foods) and pan-fried in safflower oil. Such a simple step to add so much flavor and texture.

Foodblog-9664

On the side: green beans with a dusting of more panko and bacon. Plus corn on the cob.

Foodblog-9663

Dinner for two:

Foodblog-9673

Maple sausage links from a friend’s farm with sautéed squash and kale.

Foodblog-9677

Karen joined us for dinner one night, so we fancied it up with some vino

Foodblog-9699

We had J+P barbecue with leftover squash, salads with tomatoes and mozzarella and half a spinach feta roll.

Foodblog-26 

Later alligators!

    That fish looks so good but I’ve always been afraid to try trout. Is it very fishy tasting? Also, how do you figure out portion sizes? Looks like you always eat the same as Matt but doesn’t he have higher energy needs than you? I’m getting confused about everything I’ve read about energy expenditure lately 🙂

    That breaded fish looks incredible! As do those sweet potato fries. How thick do you cut them, and how long do you cook them for? They’re probably similar to butternut squash fries which my family just adores, but I haven’t perfected the cooking-them-all-without-burning-the-tips part. Lol.

    Hmm. And about the fish… I’ve only ever had fish from the ocean before- salmon, perch, cod (<< one of my favorites!), tilapia, etc. Never have I had any local fish from the lakes. For a first timer what would you recommend?

      I think trout is pretty mild and a good one to choose. Catfish too – I don’t find either to be too fishy.

    Hi Kath! I was wondering if you had any tips on roasting zucchini and squash. I noticed you sauteed yours, do you find that the best way to prepare both veggies? Every time I try to roast them, they come out mushy. At first I thought it was because I was putting too much EVOO on them but even when I tried to use less it still happened. Any thoughts?

    • KathEats says

      September 9, 2013 at 5:51 pm

      They seem to be on the watery side of the spectrum and aren’t the best to crunch up like brussels sprouts and things do. We do usually sautee. I find that grilling them leaves them a bit firmer though.

      PS. You were in spam! Hopefully now rescued.

    Kath,
    I am taking a class in nutrition taught by a dietitian (I am in NP school). She states that artificial sweetners do not increase cancer risk, and are very safe in moderation. What are your thoughts on this? I would love your input and any good articles you have read.
    Thanks!

      I agree with her statement that they are thought to be safe in moderation by the FDA. I drink a diet soda from time to time. But I don’t think it’s wise to consume something daily that is artificial. There is so much we don’t know about nutrition, science and the body, and it’s safer to eat real food.

        Thanks, Kath. That’s how I view things, too. I would just love to pick your brain.

        You should do a post on your view of taking vitamins and which are more bioavailable. I really enjoy your blog:)
