Just a little RD talk for you 🙂
The Lunchbox
Amazing lunch that took 2 seconds to pack!!! Leftover Spiced Millet Salad 🙂
Served with one of Gram’s spoons –
A plain Siggi’s
With a little jar of some homemade pumpkin butter (not mine – a gift) and chia seeds mixed
And two silly clementines!
Perfect mix of flava, food groups and fullness!!
Tata!
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
I so badly want to cook that millet thing, it looks YUMMY!! I WILL do it this week…
What’s the homemade pumpkin butter made out of, besides pumpkin? I’ve never seen anything like that over here.
Have a good afternoon 🙂
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
yum! I just got some coupons in the mail for Siggy’s. I haven’t tried it yet but can’t wait!!

Would love to hear what’s in the homemade pumpkin butter…..sounds delish!
Morgan @ Life After Bagels says
I’m sometimes very bad at hitting all the good groups. I’m such a grab and go person that I forget oh yeah I need some fruit, or protein, or grains. Then inevitably I’m left feeling hungry 🙁
Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) says
Those bright orange clems look delish! I miss eating those daily but am happy to have summer berries back in my diet.
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Delicious!!! Homemade pumpkin butter?! I bet that is good!

Mmmm, your lunch looks so much more appealing than mine! What ever happened to playground-trades?!
Katherine says
Wow, each item in your lunch looks so yummy! I have never tried millet, but will need to. I wish I had your lunch today 🙂
Kathleen says
Looks delish! Maybe you’ve answered this before, but where do you buy chia seeds? Didn’t see them at TJ’s… Whole Foods maybe?
Kath says
I buy them through OpenSky. Haven’t found them in my stores yet.
jessica says
Whole Foods sells them.
shannon (the daily balance) says
I bet that Millet salad had even MORE flavor after it sat for awhile!
looks amazing!
Laura @ youngDCliving says
Hey Kath! I was wondering whether since you’ve been running extraordinary amounts (congrats on the half marathon!), you have been losing weight recently? I know you don’t keep track of your weight…have you just been eating more to compensate for all the high calorie expenditure or do you feel like its just evened itself out naturally?? Just curious! Thanks 😉
Kath says
Hi!
I have lost some of my Summer 2009 weight gain this spring, but I really attribute it more to cutting back on my intake than the running. Because I’ve been taking more rest days before and after the long runs (which I wouldnt’ have needed doing easy cross training workouts) and eating the same amount on those days. But I have intentionally lost a few pounds by cutting back on desserts and alcohol and traveling and therefore eating out less. It’s all about the squiggly line
Jenny says
Yummy and healthy- what a great combo!
Mama Pea says
Those crazy clems! How excited are you for GLEE tonight?!?!
Kath says
VERY! But I must watch Gossip Girl first!
Kalli@Fitandfortysomething says
i am in love with millet-it is my new favorite bread!
Gracia says
Your blog never fails to make me hungry! Thankfully, it also inspires me to eat better and get out and run, so that’s good news!
Samantha says
Hey K,
3 questions for you….
Have you ever tried cocoa nibs in your oatmeal?
Have you given up your nut butter kept on the spoon style? Or do you stir it in now?
Have you ever made your own yogurt? greek yogurt? (amazingly easy!)
Kath says
-Yes
-Like it to melt on top now
-No – too much work and you have to buy the milk anyways!
-And below, I haven’t heard of that specific diet, but I think low-fat diary is probably best. The fat doesn’t provide any nutrients so it’s kind of empty. But I do think some fat is good so I don’t really like fat free. But if you like full fat, then have some – just compensate in other ways
Sam says
I had a certified nutritionist tell me to go full fat on dairy and that there are, in fact, many nutrients in the fat. I’m making the full fat yogurt because whole milk is the closest to its natural state. I buy organic non homogenized milk. There is something in that process that changes how your body absorbs the fats. Really, you should give making it a try some time. Its not all that much work and you can make a serving for about half of what it costs to buy. I put the strained whey in my smoothies : )
xo
Samantha says
Oh wait..one more question. How do you feel about the Weston Price point of view? Full fat everything?
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
homemade pumpkin butter – lucky gal!
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
simple, healthy and yummy. What more could you ask for? 🙂
Hannah says
That millet salad looks good every time you post about it….
Chelsea (Chelsea's Chew and Run Fun) says
Oh, how I adore your mini mason jars. Such a great, resourceful way to put those lil’ guys to use. That spoon is gorgeous!
Kelly B (at Local Foodie Fight) says
mmmm i bet that yogurt is good with those mix-ins.
I had greek yogurt for the first time this week. I loved it, but I dont think I will be able to eat it regularly. Made my tummy all…well…no good. (Lactose intolerance, how you take all the fun out of life!)
Sana says
Outdoor packed lunches are the best!
jaclyn@todays lady says
I bet that leftover salad was good!!! Extra marinating is always a plus!
Emily @ The Front Burner Blog says
LOVE millet. Want to make this!
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
I love the ease and convenience of leftovers for lunch.
