Happy July 4th, blog loves. Care to see some food?
Figure 2.
Lunch: a romaine lettuce salad with an tomato, carrots, an Amy's Sonoma veggie burger, smoked almonds, red wine vinegar, and ketchup.
Figure 3. Afternoon snack: a Gala apple and cocoa-roast almonds.
Figure 4. Dinner: pan-seared chicken with tomato-olive relish, roasted asparagus with Italian herbs, and Near East wild mushroom couscous. Pretty damn gourmet for a Tuesday, no?
Figure 5. Dessert: kettle corn topped with jerry-rigged chocolate PB2 (2 T regular PB2 + 1 T cocoa powder + almond milk).
And that concludes another What I Ate Wednesday (featuring what I ate Tuesday, July 3).
But, wait! Since it fun, food, AND fitness WIAW month I should tell you about my workouts. This morning I hit the pavement for a 30-minute run at working pace (i.e., a few notches above comfortable) followed by a short walk with my pup. I also took a short walk on my lunch break to stretch the legs. My day ended with a 60-minute PiYo class (fusion of Pilates and yoga - look for a review soon!) and another short walk with my pup when I returned home.
Looks and sounds like a great day! Happy 4th of July.
ReplyDeletehappy 4th to you too!
DeleteOkay, I still haven't tried PB2. I really need to do that.
ReplyDeletegirl, you must try it. so many uses!
DeleteKetchup on salad is the bomb, I don't care what anyone says!
ReplyDeleteYour dinners always look gourmet...even on the Tuesday :)
i agree. but you and i are ketchup freaks, im afraid. ;)
DeleteThat popcorn looks amazing!!! Happy Fourth!
ReplyDeleteYour lunch and dinner look incredibly good! Those are some of my favorites on the two plates. Happy 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteaw, thanks! my favorites too!
DeletePopcorn is the best night time snack. I love roasted asparagus too, it is just so expensive now.
ReplyDeletei agree. you can eat a whole pile of it without feeling guilty!
DeleteI love the gourmet Tuesday styles!!
ReplyDeleteIs the new Kashi cereal you love the kinda golden coloured one in the pic? I am curious - review please!!
Happy 4th :)
yes, it is the light colored one. so tasty!
Deletepopcorn with pb2? GENIUS. I'm def going to try that tonight!
ReplyDeletehaha i just love when my creations get called genius. try it girl - it is really the bomb. like popcorn with butter, but 100% better and with protein!
DeleteYum! Sara, that kettle corn dessert looks amazing!
ReplyDeletethanks! it is one of my favorite combinations!
DeleteThe couscous with mushrooms sounds delicious, so does the asparagus! Last time i ate asparagus was a year ago - too long for sure :)
ReplyDeletea year ago! eat some asparagus for crying out loud!
DeleteYour chicken with the tomato relish looks so good. I adore asparagus.. but don't seem to cook with is too much. What a yummy day of eating :)
ReplyDeletethanks this relish is great and i usually end up making it when i have some basil on hand.
DeleteYummm, popcorn with PB is always an excellent combination! That dinner definitely looks and sounds very gourmet... "Near East wild mushroom couscous" definitely sounds like it came off a restaurant menu! :)
ReplyDeletehaha thanks Sarah! ps i'll return your e-mail about soy ASAP!
DeleteWow you are super active!!!
ReplyDeleteThat salad looks amaaaaaazing.
girl YOU are super active (but thanks, i'll take the compliment).
Deleteaha my salads look like yours except with mustard swizzled across the top in place of ketchup. I have discovered that I don't hate it as much as I thought I did though, which is good.
ReplyDeletewhat a gourmet dinner there- have you considered changing to being a plated food designer? heh I kid.
oh i haven't tried mustard on a salad - but i like weird salad topping so i'm down to try anything!
Deletewooww I wanna take a PiYo class with you!! one of these days you will just need to send me pb2 to try out ^_^! I am so jealousssss aaaaaah hahaha
ReplyDeleteyou to let you know I responded to ur comment on my blog, does it still never let you know when I do? grrrr
oh wouldn't that be fun to take PiYo together? no, it never let's us know when we respond to comment on each others' blogs. someone needs to fix that for real!
DeleteMmmhmm I always have ketchup on salads, so heck to the yes, for that!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear your thoughts on the PiYo class! My gym offers something similar which I've taken a few times and I loved it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm so glad I'm not the only one who puts ketchup on my salads! My friends and family find it repulsive but I'm addicted! And when there's a veggie burger in there, it makes sense, right? (:
Can RIPPED get a review too? ;)))
