Well I decided to keep a journal of what I ate this week like many other bloggers have done. I love reading about what others are eating for inspiration. At first I thought I'd include all 3 meals, but honestly I always forget to take pictures of dinner. Maybe that should be a goal for the next blog post or maybe the next month. As I've said in other posts I really try to streamline my work week by making a breakfast or lunch that lasts for the majority of the week. Well that wasn't the case this week. I decided with the large amount of leftovers from the previous week I might eat some of them too for lunch.
Monday breakfast: Granola that I made for last week and never finished. I topped it with baked apples and Siggi's plain yogurt. If you haven't tried Siggi's please do. It's lower in sugar than most yogurt and has a great thick texture. I like it way more than Greek yogurt. Oh and of course the obligatory cup of coffee.
Monday lunch: Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup. I topped it with peanuts and sour cream. I also had a small bowl of pineapple and water to drink
Tuesday breakfast: My favorite avocado toast with a sunny-side up egg and coffee.
Tuesday lunch: leftover vegetable soup and a piece of sourdough bread. I took my leftover broccoli and cauliflower, added chicken stock brought it to a boil and pureed it with my immersion blender. I topped it with olive oil. I didn't take a picture because it really doesn't photograph well.
Wednesday breakfast: repeat of Monday with the last of the baked apples. So now I have a little more room in my refrigerator.
Wednesday lunch: The last of the sweet potato carrot soup and pineapple.
Thursday Breakfast: I ate the last of the pineapple, hard boiled egg that I made the night before and sourdough toast with ricotta and homemade apricot jelly and of course coffee.
Thursday lunch: leftovers of confetti spaghetti casserole and braised celery that I made Tuesday for dinner.
Friday breakfast: My daughter made an Indian dish of tomatoes and okra and homemade wheat bread. So I had that with a hard boiled egg. I always need a bit of protein and of course my coffee.
Friday lunch: left over chicken tetrazini from Thursday night. My recipe has mushrooms and celery in it so I didn't bring an extra fruit or veggie.
I hope this post has inspired you a bit for a weeks worth of breakfasts and lunches.
As always with love from the Midwest,
Beth
