WIA Double Trouble(:

So first I was going to do a WIAT (What I ate Tuesday) but then I got bored (it is summertime) and I decided to do a WIAW too (gasp!). So here's my eats from Tuesday and Wednesday; double the fun ;)


Be sure to head on over to Jenn's and check out all the other lovely and creative posts that are linked up today too!

For the fitness aspect I'll share this week's workout a la DailyMile; PS- on which I think you should add me to your friends list, I don't have many friends on there :(


Oh and try that side bar button to do so, let me know if it works haha

Shouldn't have scarfed down my dinner an hour before #yikes

2 days ago

Oh and Velo means cycling (must be French or something? hmm)

So that was Monday, Tuesday and today; for tomorrow I'm going to the XC workouts that my old high school holds (hey; might as well, my old cross-country coach is intense so he always has great workouts planned) and then Friday I was going to do a short swim workout followed by Vinaysa Yoga; one of my latest findings right? ;)

Now onto the Good Eats (hey; you like that show too!?)

Enter breakfast numero uno (before working out):

Tuesday vs. Wednesday 

Macho Green Smoothie and a nanner with pb hummus and coconut butter (don't you love to layer pb?)

 

Mid-breakfasts snack:

Tuesday only

Raspberry Cho with bloobs

Breakfast numero dos (because one just isn't enough for me! I love breakfast foods):

Tuesday vs Wednesday

Chocolate Avocado Powercakeish topped with PB Hummus and a Peanutflour Sauce added midway through (it needed moisture) vs Chocolate Cookies n Cream overnight Quinoa and Buckwheat Porridge with Strawberries and Cherries topped with Freezedried Strawberries, Cacao Nibs, more Chocolate and Cocoa Almonds (anyone want the recipes? Buler?) 

Lunch

Tuesday vs Wednesday

Hippie bowl of Quinoa, Red Cabbage, Carrots, Edamame, Cucumber, Curry Tofu topped with Homemade Peanut Dressing, Wasabi Peas and Sunflower Seeds vs an Egg White Scramble with (get ready for this, or feel free to proceed without reading :) haha) Red Cabbage, Arugula, Okra, Carrots, Mushrooms, Spaghetti Squash, Peppers, Broccoli Slaw, a crapload of spices (Parsley, Basil, Garlic Powder, Tumeric, TJ's Everyday Seasoning, Mustard Powder, Smoked Paprika), one Egg, topped with Nooch and this Asian Sweet n Spicy sauce that I love

 yeah I may have  gotten a little picture happy; but it was so colorful :)

Snack

Tuesday vs Wednesday

A bowl of Cereal with Blackberries (yes that's a recycled photo; just stay with me here) and some Cherries vs Pumped up Coconut Ice Cream (check out my dessert for the details)

pre and post toppings of course (Peanutflour Candy, Peanuts, Blueberries and Freezedried Blueberries)

Dinner

Tuesday vs Wednesday

A salad with Roasted Veggies (Mushrooms, Peppers, Eggplant, Broccoli) topped with a Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge, Goat Cheese, Sprouts, Mustard and Salsa vs A Grass-Fed Beef Burger  (read: life changing!) with Avocado, Goat Cheese, Sprouts and Lettuce on a plate with Sweet Potato Fries, Tomato slices, Onion Rings, Watermelon and an un-pictured Corn on the Cob

 pre toppings (it was puhr-ty)

I know you love my drawing!


This was the first time my family had tried Grass-fed Beef and we all agreed, it was the best burgers we have ever eaten! I don't know what it is but they tasted different. They had this amazing flavor that I don't even know how to explain (wow that's helpful) haha but seriously YOU MUST TRY THEM! I am not even a big beef person (I don't like steak) but please take my word for it and give them a try :)


Dessert


Tuesday vs Wednesday
Nightly Dessert Mess with Mango, Raspberries, Freezedried Raspberries and Mangoes (man am I spoiled), Chocolate and a Pomegranate Chocolate Vitatop along with a few gummy bears vs that Pumped up Coconut Ice Cream I was talking about from before and Buttered Popcorn

 I like the layers :)

For this I basically took about 1/4 cup of my Coconut Bliss Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream (that is so delicious) and pumped it up by adding Cottage Cheese, Frozen Banana pieces, Applesauce, Almond milk and then blended it. I had some for a snack then (up above) and then blended the rest with more Almond milk and added Spinach  to save for later. I topped it with Sprinkles, my Adora Chocolate Disk and Shredded Coconut.

If you are still with me; Thanks! Love You

Maia says bye too!

Hey readers! Lately I've been taking it slow, sleeping in ('til 12) and going to an occasional XC workout (yes, I realize I have graduated haha).

I've also been working out, chasing chickens (haha, my sister and I are petsitting; they are cute, but oh so fast!) and recieving packages (yay, can't wait for the foodie pen pal reveals!)

Oh and I finally got around to posting that picture of my inspiration board(:

See that cute little kitty? Look familiar? Check him out at STUFT Mama's blog. She sent them out for readers and bloggers to send her pics (I'll let ou know if any of my pics are featured in her posts). You can look at an example of a previous post here.

 So yesterday I FINALLY cleaned my room. Like I had things that I never unpacked from May (yikes!) I just hate unpacking and I have been on so many trips lately with lots of overlap, so I never got around to it. But luckily my room is looking pretty spiffy now(: And for that I rewarded myself with a little relaxin in the sunshine.

I finally finished Mockingjay on my kindle! What did you guys think of it? I thought it was a little bleh, too drawn out and a disappointing ending :/

Check out my new button bracelet I just made(: All I did was take some hemp and thread all these old buttons through it. You can even use those buttons that come with shirts or sweaters in the little plastic baggies (That you know you will never use; I mean come on, how could you find them when your button breaks, haha I have like a bizillion)

Oh and I just wanted to share a little makeup tip with you guys; To get extra curly eyelashes (because mine are naturally short and flat) you take a blow-dryer and then heat up your curling iron for a few seconds (not too long or you may burn yourself!). But I do it and it really makes my eyelashes look longer and fuller! I'm not too big on makeup but I'll usually just put on some tinted SPF moisturizer and mascara. I really like Covergirl's mascara...anyways onto some recent eats;

A massive (read:way too much) salad that I didn't even get to finish filled with the rest of my chicken salad, a soft boiled egg, more cabbage, tomatoes, chopped veggies on a bed of greens

A bowl of cantaloupe filled with cereal and berries (underneath)

Some amazeballs Peanut butter S'mores Egg White Oats inspired by Heather

 Mid- and Post-toppings [I like to go all out(: hehe]

I guess I like massive bowls/plates of food; because there's my 15'' Macbook for size comparison (but it was soooo good)

What's our favorite oatmeal combination? I think I'm going to give tahini and chocolate one last go around..

WIAW; possibly a photo dump(:

Yay for WIAW; Thanks Jenn for hosting as always!

Here are some recent breakfasts;

chocolate egg white oats with the works [i'm sure you're getting tired of seeing these toppings(: ] and chocolate chip pancakes (which were not easy to flip!)

 Some sensible and not so sensible ;) snacks

Multiple SmoothieKing Lean 1 Shakes (ohmygosh so good!; try the chocolate and ask them to add peanutbutter) #shamelesslyaddicted and a free cookie from The Fresh Market #foodgasm #chocolatechewie

Plain chobani mixed with Yosoko's Fig yougrt mixed with pinneapple, berries, cereal, LoveGrown and chia #chiamakeseverythingbetter

A snack plate; edamame a la African Smoke Spice, Chicken dumplings and an orange

A lunch out at a local Hispanic Restaurant (only calling it Hispanic because it's a mix of Cuban, El Salvadorian and Mexican food haha) This plate isn't actually mine, it's mi madre's but hers was just prettier(: Don't you love those colors? #spinachcremesauce

And some lunches at home of course:

asian salad with shrimpies, sesame seeds and stir-fry and fruit

Kale smoky salad, leftover pizza and a pear with cinnamon

 Some lovely dinners:

Some bolognese topped with red peppers, spinach and nooch a la green smoothie

Carrot and sweet potato fries a la coconut oil (seriously you must try these, the coconut oil just made them like 10x better; and they were already great before!!)

A black bean burger with avocado and a carrot/turnip slaw (it looks red because the guy said it was made with beets; yum!)

SUSHI!

Leftovers; beets, peanut butter tofu (yes these are old photos,,hehe) and tropical kale salad with some more salad and some goat cheese addiction  addition

Okay and I swear these will be the last photos of my nightly dessert (: 

wow; like look at that layering action(:

What do you think of hashtags? Do they annoy you? because been using them nonstop (Don't add me on Instagram if that's a problem haha) I think it's like a cute little afterthought
