What I Ate This Week

This labor day weekend we headed up to my parents’ lakehouse. We ate, fished, swam, walked and did a lot of relaxing. I’m a third of the way into the Gone Girl book and really loving it. My glute is feeling 85% better so I’ve started doing some powerlifting training with Andrew. I just started this past Sunday but it’s fun to train rather than just workout. Before I knew Andrew I thought powerlifting was like lifting a heavy rock on top of a pillar, but now I know it’s just three lifts: squat, deadlift, benchpress. I’m training for fun, but Andrew is competing this month! On to the food..

Monday: Chicken Sausage, Spinach, Ricotta & Tortellini Pasta. LOVED THIS. Based off this recipe. I used ricotta instead of half-and-half and chicken sausage instead of regular.

Tuesday: Leftover pasta from Tuesday.

Wednesday: Cocoa Whole Wheat Toast topped with ricotta & eggs. Served with a side of broccoli. Cocoa bread on blog FRIDAY.

Thursday: Polenta Pizza. Recipe soon!

Friday: Quick dinner stop at Chick-fila on the way to the lake.

Saturday: Pulled Pork Tacos at the lake.

Sunday: Chipotle Burrito Bowl a margarita split with Andrew.

overnight banana chia oatmeal with peanut butter.

breakfast at the lake = egg cheese bacon biscuit (I had 2…so good).

more banana chia seed oatmeal eaten on the go.

bluebell vanilla ice cream black bean brownie.

obsessed with Cherry Republic Cherry Salsa.

chai tea latte. Since I’ve been making my own chai tea latte concentrate I now realize how sweet the Starbucks version is. I like the homemade version better. But it’s hard to beat the Starbucks experience, ya know?

Red velvet fro-yo with oatmeal cookies.

Smoothie cocoa bread with peanut butter (recipe FRIDAY).

PB mug cake. Don’t remember the specific ingredients but it was a mix of oat flour, peanut butter, brown sugar, baking powder, chocolate chips.

And some randomness. I had a day date with a friend and found this gold moose head at Z Gallerie that I’m obsessed with. I just don’t know where I’d put him in my house. He was only like $35 too. I need go back and get him. I’m sure I could find a place.

And also…I totally look like my parents’ dog in this pictures. We both have sleepy, early morning eyes.

And that’s it! Hope you had a great labor day weekend. Yay short weeks!
