Lately

Breakfasts

Foodblog-0527

Yummmm overnight oats! There are so many chores to do every morning before we get out the door, and the days where I can cross “cleaning the kitchen” off the list before I even sit down are my favorite. This jar held raw oats soaked overnight in milk and yogurt, a pinch of salt, chia seeds, peach and banana. Plus the sunbutter in the jar!

Foodblog-0526

Next up we have a much larger looking breakfast that was probably the same nutrition: scrambled eggs, peach and buttered toast.

Foodblog-9657

Pancake day : )  I made blueberry pancakes with lots of extras on the side. All drizzled in a freshly opened jar of sunflower butter!

Foodblog-9828

More overnight oats – this time in a bowl with tons of berries embedded inside. Plus sprinkles of cinnamon and a blob of sunbutter on top.

Foodblog-9855

And finally…a raspberry blast bowl! Raspberry Siggi’s yogurt with fresh rasp, chia seeds and Great Harvest Raspberry Swirl bread “croutons.” Texture heaven!

Foodblog-0390

Lunches

From the lunch bunch…

Panera with a friend while out running errands. I had a chicken and avocado salad and some broccoli and cheese soup that I shared with Mazen, who had his own grilled cheese.

Foodblog-58

The next day I made a quesadilla with some leftover Cook Smarts olive and cheese chicken, plus a side salad with leftover parsnip fries and watermelon on the side.

Foodblog-0267

Next up was leftover Cook Smarts orzo salad. An all-in-one bowl delight. A plum on the side that the toddler stole most of!

Foodblog-0391

Next I had scrambled eggs, leftover kale salad and leftover grilled veggie and avocado salad. This was such a nice change from a typical leafy green salad. Plum on the side again!

Foodblog-0530

And finally a Whole Foods salad. Kale salad, tofu, cod, noodles, sweet potatoes and melon.

Foodblog-05

Dinners

This first dinner I prepped at nap time so it was easy to cook off at 5. Maple Soy Baked Salmon with baked squash (a weird kind from the market!) and quinoa made in the rice cooker topped with parmesan and butter.

Foodblog-0195

The next night I also had my meal plan organized and made these meatball “muffins.” The same recipe I shared yesterday : ) They were served with slaw and leftover quinoa with Parmesan. (With parm and butter is the only way I’ve discovered I love quinoa!)

Foodblog-0393

We also made two Cook Smarts dinners from my favorites list –

Foodblog-0239

First olive tapenade chicken with melted cheese. LOVE this dinner. Leftover squash and Cook Smarts lemon parm asparagus on the side.

Foodblog-0238

And Tuna Orzo with olive tapenade dressing mixed in. I love all the artichokes in this dish!

Foodblog-0256

Like my new porch sign!? Haha. I try!

Foodblog-0396

Proud to be an American on this day

    Hello, just curious and a quick question about why you use so much nut butter (is nutbutter peanut butter?). You could save an awful lot of calories if you didn’t use it all the time, it must be very calorific?

      Calories aren’t everything! Also, nut butters have plenty of nutrition (and yumminess!!) per calorie! 🙂

        It is better to be satisfied eating WHOLE foods than counting calories….Healthy Fats do not make us fat..:))

    I too love seeing your food posts–they always give me great ideas! My one complaint is that seeing all your Great Harvest yums lead me to buy (and eat) way too much of it 😉

    Although for some reason I can no longer eat quinoa (severe tummy troubles) my favorite way to eat it was in a greek salad with roasted veggies. The smokiness of the veggies and the saltiness of the olives and feta paired really well and masked any “off” flavors that quinoa can sometimes have.

    Yum! Everything looks amazing! Lately, you’ve been using sun butter rather than TJ’s sunflower butter. Is there a reason for the switch?

    • KathEats says

      September 11, 2014 at 8:56 am

      I use sunbutter interchangably between the two : ) I’m sure neither brand would be happy about that!

    Tuna orzo – amazing. Parmasean quinoa – yum! Girl this is making me hungry! Everything looks amazing! I just finished a huge jar of overnight oats – forgot my nut butter at home – sunbutter would be an awesome addition! Thanks for sharing and making me hungry again 🙂

    I was craving a Whole Foods salad bar dinner last night – it’s been too long (I wound up filling up on pretzels and potato chips instead).

    So many good eats – love all the sunbutter! I could probably eat an entire jar of that stuff in one sitting if I let myself 😉

    I’m sure you’ve addressed this in previous posts, but do you snack throughout the day? If so, what sort of foods do you snack on? I am in a snacking rut, and am looking for new ideas!

      I rarely have anything before lunch, but I often have just a little something before dinner – a handful of crackers, nuts or piece of fruit. I used to snack more in the afternoons but 50% of the time I can get to dinner simply because we eat earlier than we used to. I often nibble a little while I’m cooking too, so that probably counts as a snack.

    Your meals look healthy, and I would some time like to see nutritional content & calorie count for them–since you are a RD. You’ve lost weight while eating and drinking very well, and I’m curious how you do it.

    Kath, do you ever put more food on your plate after you take the picture or go back for seconds? I’ve noticed from various Lately posts that some of your dinner meals are kind of small. I am a big proponent of intuitive eating however I am not sure if your small dinner meals would fill me up (but it would depend on what I ate for lunch and if I had any snacks).

      No, I don’t normally have seconds, but sometimes I have an evening snack/dessert if I have a small dinner. And sometimes I note in the text that I was headed to a friend’s after or had an appetizer before so that might also compensate for a smallish dinner.

    I am diabetic and I LOVE quinoa as I find it doesn’t raise my blood sugar like rice does. I do find though that you really need to rinse the seeds before you cook them because they have a coating on them that can make them taste bitter if they aren’t rinsed thoroughly. My favorite way to use quinoa is making stuffed baked peppers. Sometimes I use lean ground beef and other times black beans mixed with lots of veggies, quinoa, and some shredded cheddar cheese. Yum!
