Happy New Week + Recent Eats

Admin

Happy new week! I’m feeling accomplished on this Monday morning. I kicked my day off with day four of my Spring Greens Challenge + 5:45a yoga. Not my favorite time to practice but a great way to get my body and energy moving for the week – and my only window to get it done today. I grabbed coffee after class, made a green smoothie and now I’m sitting down to write this post before I head off to teach two yoga classes and train two clients. This afternoon’s goal is to finish my taxes – not excited about that chore but VERY ready to check the box off!

Not much to report from the weekend. I did a lot of yoga, got a great lift in at Metro and we had a cool trainer photo shoot on Sunday with Bruce Williams to get some footage for our website and social media. I also got my hair done, walked dogs, brunched, got Thai takeout and watched a movie. Solid stuff!

Before I launch myself into the week, I have some recent eats for you. Here are some meals that I’ve eaten over the last few weeks. It’s a great roundup of healthy, nutritious and delicious meal ideas!

BREAKFAST

scrambled eggs and sourdough

Breakfast is my least photographed meal because it’s so repetitive (smoothies 80% of the time) but here’s a morning that I had cottage cheese scrambled eggs, sourdough toast and strawberries.

peanut butter banana toast

Sourdough toast with peanut butter, honey, banana and hemp hearts.

LUNCH

I have alllllllllllll the salad bowls for you.

greens and grains salad

You have to try this salad combo! I am a huge fan of mixing greens and grains together to give my salads more staying power. Recently, I’ve been loving farro. It’s a solid source of fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals. It has a slightly nutty flavor and chewy texture. Tip: Trader Joe’s has a 10-minute quick cooking farro that is great for fast and easy salad prep.

Here’s what’s in the bowl:

Spinach, arugula and romaine tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt and a drizzle of honey
Farro
Avocado
Apple
Tomato
Turkey or other protein of your choice
Toasted pecans
Dried cranberries
Feta
Dressing – I like Trader Joe’s Goddess Dressing

salad with deli turkey

Mixed greens, hearts of palm, tomatoes, apples, deli turkey, feta, dried cranberries, avocado, pistachios, olive oil, sea salt and balsamic.

salad with rotisserie chicken

Mixed greens and baby spinach tossed in lemon juice, olive oil, honey and sea salt and topped with rotisserie chicken, tomatoes, pepitas, avocado, apples, dried cranberries and Trader Joe’s Goddess Dressing.

salad with farro

Baby spinach and arugula blend tossed in olive oil, lemon juice and sea salt and topped with  farro, avocado, apples, dried cranberries, toasted pecans, feta and poppyseed dressing.

Trader Joe's lightly smoked canned salmon

Mixed greens tossed in same as above and topped with chickpeas, dried cranberries, apples, pepitas, avocado and a can of lightly smoked salmon from Trader Joe’s. Finished with poppyseed dressing.

scrambled eggs and avocado toast

Sometimes I love a good brunch lunch. This was cottage cheese scrambled eggs, avocado toast on homemade sourdough and strawberries, mango and bananas.

smoked salmon toast

Smoked salmon on sourdough with cream cheese, avocado and hemp hearts.

eight + sand kitchen avocado toast

Post-yoga Sunday brunch at Eight + Sand Kitchen. I had the avocado toast with a fried egg and an oat milk latte.

DINNER

tofu and broccoli bowl

This is one of the best things I’ve made recently and I need to post a more formal recipe! Air fried tofu over steamed rice with steamed broccoli. I topped everything with Trader Joe’s yellow curry sauce, cilantro and chopped peanuts. SO TASTY!

tofu, cauliflower and sweet potato bowl

Another air fried tofu dinner – this one over quinoa with roasted cauliflower and sweet potatoes. Finished with hummus and Trader Joe’s Cilantro Dressing.

chicken and quinoa salad

Mixed greens topped with quinoa, shredded rotisserie chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, avocado, shredded cheese and ranch. I warmed the chicken, quinoa and sweet potatoes up a bit and that made this extra good.

salmon sheet pan meal

Sheet pan meal with roasted brussel sprouts, salmon and butternut squash. I typically cook these at 400 or so for 20-30 minutes. Sometimes the salmon needs to come out before the veggies.

Trader Joe's Butter Chicken

Trader Joes’ butter chicken and buttered naan on the side. I don’t do many frozen heat and eat entrees but love this one!

homemade chicken parmesan

Chicken parmesan and a side salad.

ground chicken, bulgur and brussel sprouts

Sautéed ground chicken and roasted brussel sprouts over a Trader Joe’s Bulgur Butternut Squash Feta Pilaf. Hummus and cilantro dressing to finish.

fig and prosciutto flat bread

I need to bring homemade flatbreads back into the regular rotation! I got this pre-baked flatbread at ALDI and added fig preserves, goat cheese, shredded mozzarella and prosciutto to it. Baked for about 10 minutes and finished with arugula and balsamic.

chicken and rice dinner

Chicken and rice is one of my favorite meals of all time. Shredded rotisserie chicken with rice cooked in chicken bone broth. Frozen veggies on the side.

buffalo chicken salad

Obsessed with this buffalo chicken salad. I’ll post a recipe/tutorial soon!

ETC

sunflour cinnamon roll

Cinnamon roll + oat milk latte at Sunflour on a gorgeous 70 degree Saturday afternoon.

Time for me to get moving! Have the best day friends!
