Lately.

I enjoy writing these lately posts – it’s fun for me to look back on my whole week myself! I’m not photographing every meal (like a rainy cold morning when I just want to eat my oatmeal already) but it’s still fun to see a snapshot of a week’s worth of food. I export all of my lately photos into one folder and sometimes don’t even remember eating the meal! Ha!

Breakfasts

Breakfast highlights included…

Foodblog-4

A slice of toast with Wild Squirrel nut butter and a banana log of slices plus some Noosa yogurt – more on this in an upcoming post! It’s incredible!

Foodblog-3590

Overnight oats in a jar! My absolute favorite way to wake up : )

Foodblog-3603

Hot whipped banana oatmeal with sunbutter and Cville cluster

Foodblog-3580

Two eggs, grapefruit and Great Harvest Irish Soda Bread with buttah. LOVE ISB!! This breakfast was a change from the norm and so good.

Foodblog-3734

Lunches

Favorite lunch of the week – a sandwich with a fried egg between Dakota bread slices, a salad with spinach, veggies, avocado, goat cheese and maple sesame almonds and a really orange orange.

Foodblog-

Another day I did a different spin on egg and toast = French toast for lunch. Topped with some sunbutter. I couldn’t resist! (By the way, I recently bought crunchy Sunbutter instead of Trader Joe’s brand and really can’t tell much of a difference – both are so, so good).

Foodblog-3596

Plus a big salad on the side with cheese, peppers, carrots, spinach, olive oil, salt and an avocado with polka dots!

Foodblog-3598

Another day I had a new kind of smoked trout: Cole’s Lemon Smoked Trout

Foodblog-3718

Smashed with avocado and served with corn chips

Foodblog-3722

[Can you tell it was a dreary, rainy day?]

Foodblog-3723

Plus this salad of veggies, greens, almonds and Dakota bread pieces.

Foodblog-3721

Here’s a sunny day salad! Leftover chicken, leftover dijon green beans, avocado, greens, olive oil and Irish Soda Bread!

Foodblog-3741

Dinners

This dinner was all oven – roasted sweet potato wedges, roasted chicken drumsticks and radicchio “chips”

Foodblog-3646

The radicchio didn’t quite chip like kale does, but it was pretty crunchy!

Foodblog-3651

Black bean enchiladas on a typical Tuesday. Served with Greek yogurt guacamole and side salads. We’re going to re-make these with a slight variation and homemade enchilada sauce and develop a recipe

Foodblog-2908

Another night we had herby roasted chicken thighs

Foodblog-3727

Boneless thighs with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, rosemary, Garlic Gold nuggets and salt/pepper, plus a spritz of olive oil from my Misto. Roasted for about 30 minutes at 400*.

Foodblog-3724

Foodblog-3729

Served with a Great Harvest Rosemary Garlic roll and green beans

Foodblog-3731

Happy Weekend!

    I LOVE Irish Soda Bread. I tried making one last year and it only kind of worked. I’ll have to try again this year or at least get out and buy one before the stores sell out. 😉

    I LOVE Noosa and was eating 1/2 a container at lunch everyday until I really paid attention to the nutrition facts- isn’t it a little high in fat? Or am I just being picky? Also, is it Greek?

      March 2, 2013 at 9:25 am

      Yes I think it is full fat, but unless you’re eating a tub everyday, I think that’s fine. I have it featured in an upcoming post

      Noosa is a local brand (Boulder, CO) so I’ve been eating it as a ‘treat’ for years. The strawberry rhubarb is the best! It is full fat, and it’s considered ‘Australian’ style, but definitely thicker like Greek.

    I have been getting my milk delivered from Morning Fresh Dairy for 10 years. I have been eating their Noosa yogurt since it came out. It is so delicious. I love it and it has less sugar than most. You can’t be afraid of fat. You body needs it! Great shout for Northern Colorado!

    i think plain full fat yoghurt is more ‘real food’ that low fat yoghurt because its not been played around with! nothing added, nothing taken away- just as it is. Also, in greece and places like Sardinia they have full fat either strained yoghurt, or full fat raw cheese and they all seem to be in excellent health! i trust full fat dairy products!

    I love Soda Bread! As an irish lass, I eat it almost daily for lunch or breakfast or for a supper snack! Is Great Harvest’s Soda bread brown or white? In Ireland we have a few staple variations. Traditional soda bread can be white or brown, -plain and baked in a round with a cross cut into the top. Sometime bakeries for fruit soda bread too, which is white soda bread with plump raisins added in. Other than that it’s plain and simple – flour, buttermilk, baking soda.

    I need to bake an Irish Soda Bread with raisins…does yours have cinnamon in it? I thought I read somewhere that Trader Joe’s Sunflower Butter is actually supplied by SunButter…have you heard that? My mom is going to bring some Trader Joe Sunflower Butter back from her trip to the States for me to compare. Could be why you could not tell the difference. 🙂

    I don’t know what it is, but your oats always look creamier/fluffier than mine! I wonder if cows milk versus almond milk makes a difference? Or the type of oats? Probably the oats, since I use Trader Joe’s GF oats which have a different texture than most others I’ve tried

    I’ve been perusing all of your past NYC excursion posts, as my sister and I are planning to head there for a weekend getaway this summer. I was wondering if you remember or have info to share on the place that you stayed and if you found it really accessible to some of the locations you wanted to hit? Like you, we’re totally into walking, so a little distance isn’t a big deal. We’re just looking for affordability, food, shopping and fun!

    Thanks, Kath! 😀

    Speaking of sunflower butter… I have a funny story for you, Kath!

    I am Canadian, but I was recently in the USA. I went to a Trader Joe’s to buy the TJ’s Sunflower Butter that you rave about. On my way home, however, the airport security made me confiscate it! They said it was a “liquid” and since I didn’t have any checked bags to store it in, I had to throw it out. BUT before I threw it out, I of course opened it up, ate a couple of big spoonfuls, mmm. From the few bites I had, it was great! Thankfully, it was similar enough to SunButter (which I can get in Canada) so I wasn’t too, too sad about having lost it.

    No offense, Kath, but I really don’t enjoy the lately posts. Taking photos of your food for the weekend and displaying them in random order (even if the food photography is nice) isn’t really that interesting — I prefer the kind of posts where you do some kind of analysis (like the nutrition post earlier this week) or at least tell a story. Otherwise, it’s just kinda like looking a food flipbook – I hope you’ll be doing more contextual posts in the future –

    I just tried a simple meal that you might like, bake a sweet potato, scoop out the cooked inside and mash in a bowl with finely diced bits of pepper, onion, celery, carrott, or what ever you have or feel like, mix it all with a nob of butter, return to shell, and sprinkle with grated cheese, put back in oven 15 -20 minutes…..YUMMMM
