Hi Friends!
It’s Wednesday! And i’m smack dab in the middle of another busy week.
Fact- I need about extra hours in every single day in order to get things done. For example…yesterday. Here’s what my schedule looked like: Leave the house at 7 am. Get to work at 8. Work 8-3. Drive to campus. Go to class from 4-5:30. Surprise! Got out of class early. Raced home and walked in the door at 6:05. Dropped my bag, changed clothes and ran at out the door at 6:10. Went to crossfit. Got home at 7:50. Changed shoes, leashed up the dogs, out the door at 8. Took the dogs on a 20 minute walk. Home at 8:20. Made dinner, ate dinner, showered. Finally sat down at my computer at 9:30. Attempted to cram about 10 hours worth of stuff into 3 hours. Went to bed!
See what I mean? Anyways. I may be busy…but we’ve still had some good eats around here:
Breakfast
1. Black Beans and veggies in an omlet
2. Eggs, pears, pb toast and Chobani
3. Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes with Chobani and strawberries
4. Hubby’s omelet w/ crumbled bean burger, topped w/ avocado
Lunch
1. Black bean burger, egg, carrots, pear
2. Fish bowl- beans, fish, veggies, quinoa plus carrots, pear & chips
3. Lentil veggie pot pie, apple and peppers
4. Pb & j, clementines, eggs and peppers
1. Salad with fish cakes, pear and an egg
2. Bean & veggie soup- just a package of dried mixed beans with veggies and some leftover noodles and lots of spices, plus carrots & strawberries
3. Hubby’s tuna melt with carrots & hummus, a egg and berries
4. Stir fry veggies with wheatberries and an egg, pear and some Food Should Taste Good Sweet Potato chips and salsa.
Dinner
1. Takeout veggie pizza- i showed you this last week- but i’m too lazy to fix the collage!
2. Random: fish, quinoa, black beans, peppers, avocado, onion & chips
3. Lentil Veggie Pot Pie with an apple
4. Fish Cake salad- I didn’t follow a recipe..but best guess: 2 cups leftover fish, flaked, 1/2 sweet potato microwaved until soft, 1 c quinoa, 3 Tbsp hummus, some old bay and about 1/2 c breadcrumbs…smash together and form into cakes. bake at 400 for 18 minutes, flipping once
1. Homemade black bean burger, salad and carrots
2. Pumped up tuna wiggle. My favorite childhood dinner with some extra oomph! It’s just 2 cans of tuna, 1 c white beans, 2.5 c frozen veggies (defrosted), 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 c skim milk, some noodles and cayenne pepper & paprika. Mix it all together, cover with foil and bake at 375 for 30 min or so!
3. Stir fried veggies with lentils, wheatberries and an egg. Kinda like fried rice, except with wheat berries.
4. Homemade pizza with fresh mozz, avocado, mushroom, red pepper and onion plus a strawberry spinach salad.
Odds and Ends
Last night’s dinner: Sweet & Spicy Shrimp with soba noodles, carrots and a salad.
A little treat I whipped up over the weekend. Yes, I’m teasing you. I have to figure out what to call them, and make them again, and take pretty pictures…all that jazz 
Stay tuned!
Enjoy!

Errrgghh seeing your food makes me realize just how boring mine is! Lol, but seriously it does. I love how you use simple ingredients, but dress them up to make something a bit more exciting.

haha i’m sure it’s not boring! but it’s always fun to change it up and get inspiration from others!
The first thing I noticed on these pictures was how colorful they are! You really eat a well balanced diet full of veggies! I love seeing what you eat

thanks girl! color makes food much more fun
I seriously don’t know how you do it all – your meals all look amazing! I have a feeling I’m going to slack on either my workouts or healthy eating next year during my internship… or both!

yes you do, girl!! so important!
I often wish Nick would eat tuna, because tuna melts, and tuna salad sandwiches (or even tuna SALADS) are so easy to make for quick dinners….but he won’t eat it. Darn it.
Have you tried the Food Should Taste Good Chocolate tortilla chips?! They are heavenly. Not sweet, still savory, with a kick of cocoa at the end.

I seriously love all of your food!!! I agree with more hours in the day.. that would be awesome haha.
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile recently posted..What I Ate
ok seriously you have inspired me to get more creative, I eat SO MANY of the same things all the time — all yummy things mind you, but all very similar. I am now craving eggs with toast, hard boiled eggs and black bean burgers!!

I know I say this all of the time, but I can relate to your food more than any other foodie out there, it speaks to me, it’s similar to what we eat in this house, but different enough for me to be inspired, you know what I mean?
Lisa @ RunWiki recently posted..An Old Marine and the Trail Run
yay!!! i love that
You inspire me so much! Just discovered your website yesterday via PB Fingers and have spent at least 3 hours the past few days pouring through your archives! I absolutely love your site and am amazed at the healthy & delicious-looking food you make every day! Am going to try making those fish cakes this week sometime. Thanks for the inspiration!

I’m always so impressed with the variety in your meals! I typically end up eating the same thing for breakfast and lunch every day and then dinner is always similar from day to day in a week span!
