Lately

Some delicious eats of note!

Breakfast

Foodblog-2934_thumb

Yogurt bowls with mom. We had this two days in a row because it was so delicious. Greek yogurt with Whole Foods wheat waffles, buckwheat, citrus and banana fruit salad and sunbutter. We were skeptical of the combination of cereal, yogurt, citrus and seed butter, but my gosh it was good!

Foodblog-2935_thumb

Hot whipped banana oats at sunrise

Foodblog-2864_thumb

French toast love with almond butter, bananas and buckwheat

Foodblog-2968_thumbFoodblog-2965_thumb

Foodblog-3076_thumb1

Yogurt, fruit and sunbutter with the new Great Harvest Dark Chocolate Cherry Granola. This stuff is GOOD and available online if you’d like to try it!!! It’s a toasty, cinnamon granola with whole almonds, dried cherries and bits of really delicious bittersweet dark chocolate.

Lunch

Leftover chili with toast + clementine

Salads with beans, hummus, goat cheese, fruit salad and toast

Salad greens topped with olive oil, honey and salt plus avocado, cheese, leftover noodles and a No Bull Burger

Foodblog-2972_thumb

Leftover brown rice with leftover pinto beans, a baked sweet potato, leftover quinoa salad, tahini dressing and homemade goat cheese! DEE-licious!

Foodblog-3085_thumb

A tasting plate with some of my mom friends – quinoa salad {recipe to follow}, fruit salad, cheese + crackers and bread with hummus. I had about twice this much due to lots of hunger!

Foodblog-3058_thumb

Dinner

Loaded baked potatoes. Topped with kidney beans, tomatoes, bacon, cheese and Greek yogurt. Simple salad on the side.

Foodblog-2805_thumb

Split pea soup (this super easy favorite recipe of mine) with Dakota buns and goat cheese

Foodblog--2_thumb

A medley of brown rice, cooked bok choy, pinto beans, baked sweet potato and tahini sauce.

Tahini Sauce

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tbsp lemon
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 tbsp warm water

Workouts

Squeezed in some good ones this week!

  • Sunday: Gym time with Matt – running, elliptical and weights (mom baby watched)
  • Monday: Bad weather/stuck inside
  • Tuesday: 4.5 miles walking in sunny, warm weather!
  • Wednesday: Pump Challenge weight class + biked there and back
  • Thursday: 4 mile trail walk
  • Friday: yoga class + walking

Happy Boy

Mazen’s favorite meal of the week was a furry play lettuce leaf! Look at him trying to wave!

    It all looks delicious and inspiring. I struggle with wanting salads for lunch but never feeling like making them. When I shop today I need to fill my cart with lots of veggies. Any tips on lunchtime salads?

    Hey Kath–question about your whipped oats. I’ve been reading old posts of yours and you used to do 1/3 cup oats, water, milk. Are you still using the portion or are you back to the suggested 1/2 cup of each? I usually do 1/2 cup with 1 cup water, banana, PB, and raisins, but it doesn’t seem to keep me full for more than 3 hours, so I can’t imagine only 1/3 cup serving!

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      February 2, 2013 at 11:57 am

      I do 1/3 a cup when I’m going to add mix-ins/toppings, so it comes out about the same as the 1/2 cup portion size. It sounds to me like you need some protein. I make my oats with milk + chia seeds, which add a lot more protein + fat than using just water as you do. Give it a try and see if it keeps you full longer?

    I never thought of using bacon in my split pea soup. I’m actually making it this week and bought ham hocks for a smokey flavor. I’ll have to try the bacon next time. Sounds delicious!

    Mazen is beyond cute! I just love that age. It’s so cute to see them try to wave but they are waving to themselves. (haha)

    hey kath,

    i’ve been reading for over two years and don’t intend to stop- i love your blog. and i don’t mean this as mean-spirited criticism- hopefully just constructive critique…

    i don’t particularly care for your new form of round-up type posts. something seems a little off. there’s no flow to a day or week.. and it ends up being pretty picture heavy with very little context. i totally understand posting less. but i think you might be better served to just do your previous style of post… less often. still only cover one day, but do it 2 or 3 or however many times per week you’d like. alternatively, your other ideas of topical posts would be great- those have a subject to make them cohesive, as opposed to this type of post, which strikes me as a little scattershot and chaotic.

    just one voice though… obviously, maybe others disagree!

      Well… I agree with Meghan!
      Love the blog, but miss the previous format. The one day postings were nice. I feel like it has been your style of posting and showing meals that attracted us all here, and what made your blog unique, showing who you are. Now things seem a bit awkward as you are trying to change the format so drastically. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like it is you.
      On the other side, I totally understand your reasons and as a loyal reader will always be here to cheer you up on whatever adventures you decide to share with us!

        Haha – the thing is I’m sure whatever Kathy does there’s going to be somebody who disagrees with it! It’s hard to win. This is new…maybe she’s just experimenting and things will change again in the future. I don’t think she’s set anything in stone….playing around is how you find what you do and don’t like. I call it “growing pains”. Plus, her original intent was to be able to just blog less and spend more time with baby at this stage.

          But, Jen, how will she know how the new format is going if people don’t tell her? That’s how you learn. Someone has voiced their opinion in a very nice way in order to be helpful to Kath.

    I would LOVE a post about how you handle leftovers…
    I admire your resourcefulness and how you seem to not waste any food.
    I was wholly intrigued when you mentioned leftover stuffing from Thanksgiving (frozen) and I would love to know how you store/manage your leftovers so as to keep them fresh and flavorful. I imagine your freezer must be enviously well-stocked plus very organized.
    Perhaps you can give us a peek inside?
    Love your new format…rock on!

      Love your eats, Kath! They’re also so well topped.

        Yes, a leftover post would be great! I would never think to combine a salad, some leftover pasta, a burger and some honey together, but it looks so interesting. Maybe a post on how you come up with all of these different creations.

    Just a little feedback for you. I like this style of food post. We get to see what you’ve been eating and working out without you having to post it after every meal. I think this recap over the course of several days is a good idea.

    Awesome! Thanks for the info on buckwheat. Kath did you try finger millet flour? It is also supposed to be super nutritious and especially good for babies. So you can start feeding it maze as well once he is on solids. I make a yummy porridge with it but want to see what all creative ways you use to incorporate it into your food:-)

      I’ve always said it’s not what you say but how you say it. I found your comment (“super boring”) to be quite rude for something I put a lot of time into. I appreciate the feedback, but maybe “not as helpful as other posts” would have gotten the message across a little nicer?
