Hi there! How are you all doing on this lovely what I ate Wednesday morning?
It’s pretty rainy over here, which isn’t that exciting. I’d much rather be hanging out indoors than doing anything slightly productive during these times.
Waking up was no joke this morning, I had a massive headache but decided to power on through to spin. I felt much better after. And it was an awesome class, we got some new music which included more tunes that I like. So, I was pretty happy getting my spin on this morning.
Today doesn’t include too many veggies, since I’m in serious stomach distress from a few days ago. Although, light on the veggies it was a winner on taste.
Breakfast – overnight oat bran.
In the bowl:
- 1/3 cup oat bran
- 1/3 cup egg whites
- 1/3 cup pumpkin
- 1/2 banana
- cinnamon, stevia
- 1/2 tablespoon each flax and chia seeds
- topped with cashew butter
I had an appointment to get to after, so I quickly made my way out and ended up spending a total of 2 hours at the Doctor. Yikes.
When I returned home I was starving.
Since I didn’t want to wait long, I made a simple sandwich.
I didn’t take a photo, but it was basically this (minus the strawberries)
Lunch -
2 slices ezekiel bread, an egg, spinach, goat cheese, homemade strawberry jam.
It was pretty the jam. I haven’t had bread in a while, so it was a nice change.
To treat myself for heading to spin this morning, I stopped by Starbucks to get caffeinated.
The line was super long, so I did what any ordinary girl would do; have a photo shoot in the car.
I’m sure the people walking past me were super jealous of this. I’m so normal.
I had a few more errands to get to so threw together a snack after I was back at home.
Snack -
A piece of gingerbread I baked yesterday.
The flavor is a hit, but unfortunately is a little too moist (sorry for the word) in the middle.
Will work on fixing that so I can share it with you all soon!
Oh man, I was excited for Dinner this evening. I haven’t had spaghetti squash in far too long!
Dinner -
I roasted that squash up, and loaded on some homemade marinara sauce, homemade turkey burger, and the last of my broccoli slaw.
I think squash should be its own food group. I love each and every one I try.
I guess this was my only meal that was really veggie filled, but that’s okay. Not everyday is going to be filled with tons of veggies and fruits.
I was going to finish the night with some coconut ice cream, but realized I was out.
Snack – sorry for the awful picture
Instead, I made a protein muffin with coconut cream and peanut flour paste.
The coconut and peanut flour together is basically heaven.
Now it’s time to catch up on Dexter from Sunday night, read a little, and get into bed at a decent hour! I’ve got to stop procrastinating on that front.
What’s your favorite squash?
Do you tend to avoid veggies when your stomach feels off?
Favorite ice cream flavour?
Hope you all have a fantastic day!
About Lisa
Geez Lisa your meals always look delicious lol…. Can I move in with you? My favorite squash has to be kabocha, then I would have to say butternut. I like them because they are so sweet and taste great with cinnamon, my favorite spice! When my stomach feels off,I actually don’t avoid veggies because I’m addicted to them , but I do avoid dairy. My favorite iecream flavor has to be just plain old fashion vanilla, I’ll choose the toppings;) By the way, your hair- perfection:).
Have a great day!!!!
Ha, of course come and visit:) Yeah, I’m pretty sure kabocha always wins! Thanks girl!
Every time I see your WIAW, I always end up drooling by the end of the post haha!!!
Which reminds me, I totally need to re-stock my stash!!
And I think you know which squash is my fave heehee
Have a great one girl!
Ha ha. I think we both know how much we enjoy that wonderful squash!
I love having sweet and savory lunches.
Aw, what a nice picture! You’re so pretty!
Same here! Thanks Shannon!
That breakfast looks perfect! I definitely skip the veggies when I’m feeling off! They tend to just make me feel even worse!
I know, when my stomach feels off they just make me feel so much worse. Which is kind of odd!
Your overnight oat bran always looks so pretty and delcious!! I love the bright ble bowl
I definitely avoid most veggies when my stomach feels off. I also avoid apples, because those just seem to make it worse.
Favorite ice cream flavor: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!
Hope that the long Doctor’s appointment wasn’t due to anything being wrong. Hope everything went well!
Thank you! Yah, apples are weird because they tend to make me nauseas as well! Maybe it’s the sugar or something. Oh no, nothing bad at the Doctor’s it was just a long wait!
I love spaghetti squash and always have it in my apartment ready to be cooked. There are so many things you can do with spaghetti Squah. Second is Butternut Squash mainly because I love butternut squash soup.
As far as ice cream I am a vanilla girl all the way
I agree there are tons of different things to do with that squash! I’m a vanilla girl too!
May I have your eyelashes please!????? And give me tricks for getting my hair to do that! Mine is an epic mess hahah
My favorite squash is red kuri for sure!
You are too kind! I’m going to do a hair tutorial soon since I get a few questions about my routine!:) I picked up red kuri to try and can’t wait to bake it up!
Your lunch looks amazing!
I do try to avoid veggies when my stomach is off…for some reason they usually make it feel worse.
Favorite ice cream flavor is plain yogurt! Haha
It’s kind of weird how veggies make us feel worse, I guess because they are so bulky. Ha ha, I feel you I actually prefer plain yogurt over ice cream…most times:)
I definitely avoid veggies whenever my stomach feels off. Actually, I’ve more or less been avoiding veggies in general because they tend to throw my stomach off. I used to eat massive salads and huge bowls of roasted veggies and my stomach just can’t handle it anymore. Unfortunately, that usually means no more squashes too
Kabocha has always been my favorite, and I miss the days where I could roast one up and smother it in melted coconut butter and cinnamon…
Oh no that’s so sad! I feel my stomach has gotten that from certain veggies. Probably due to the same reason!
I hate long doctor’s appointments! Once I waited 2 hours and saw a doc for 15 minutes. Ugh! I love you taking selfies outside Starbucks. I feel like people stare when I take my gym selfies but hey, it’s fine. Like you said they wish that they were normal like us.
I’m sorry I haven’t responded to your email – I so need to! Your nighttime snack looks yummy. I could go for some coconut ice cream. I’ve only tried vanilla but I want to try a more interesting flavor next.
That was basically my appointment! It drove me a litte batty! Ha ha. People always look at me odd, but whatever. It was awkward once when my friend saw me take one and texted me after, quite funny actually. It’s okay, take your time love!
oo yesss I always skip veggies when my stomach isn’t feeling right lol I try to convince myself I can live off perfectly fine with just fruit and carbs haha
Carbs just make everything better!
Fav squash has to be kabocha!!! LOVE IT! Coconut and peanut flour are made in heaven I’m sure of it
Yes they totally are!
That brekkie looks awesome!
I love spaghetti squash because it’s so easy to just mix up with other veggies. I’m also a huge fan of delicata though. Favorite ice cream- Luna and Larry’s Coconut Bliss, mint galactica flavor. Yum.
I still haven’t tried delicata, next on my list!
Favorite squash?? Definitely spaghetti! I love the texture when it is roasted and paired with sauce.
Favorite ice cream flavor?? That is tough..probably anything to do with peanut butter, chocolate, cake batter, cookie dough, etc., etc.
Ha. All those flavors sound pretty darn good to me!
I need to try some peanut flour,I think when i am home i will be getting some to bring back to dc.
Definitely get some! It’s so good!
Hey, it’s raining my side of the world too! And 2 hours at the doctor? Yikes indeed. I hope all is okay with you<3.
Veggies or not, your meals/snacks are ALWAYS packed with nutritious stuff. Your breakfast gets me everytime, I just loveeeee eggy oatbran so much!
And kabocha has to be The Best squash right? Anyone who thinks otherwise is just, well, wrong:p.
Xxx
Oh yes, everything is fine. Just waiting forever to actually see the Doctor! Eggy oatbran is such comfort food! I crave it all the time. Yep, kabocha = the best!
I hope your doctor appointment went well and you’re feeling better, Lisa! <3
Thanks Paige!:)
i loveeeee when spin instructors pull through with good songs! always makes the class that much better!
Agreed! When they play bad songs, I kind of want to die in the middle of the class, it seems to go on forever!
Yummm… That jam + goat cheese + strawberries on your toast looks SO good! My favorite squash is probably butternut squash, but I do love pretty much all of them. As for ice cream? Chocolate chip cookie dough or cookies & cream!
It is quite a tasty combo!! Oh yes, I need to pick up some butternut too. I’m just an all around squash lover.
Jam and goats cheese is an amazing combo, I need to eat more I think! My favourite ice cream is mint chic chip…or maybe any Ben and Jerrys
they do it so well. Have a great day!
Mint chocolate chip was my favorite as a kid!
Honestly, I had never even tried spaghetti squash until recently. I had seen so many bloggers eat it and I was intrigued, but intimidated by the size of those things! But it’s my favorite now – especially with turkey meatballs and sauce! Delish!
Yah the size is pretty intimidating, especially cutting into it!
Love your sweet and savory lunch! My favorite ice cream is Peppermint. It’s limited edition… should be coming out any time now!!!
Mm..I need to find some peppermint ice cream!
I’m pretty sure I’ve made that exact sandwich before, same bread and everything! Love the homemade jam and egg together. And don’t worry, my protein muffins never look so pretty in photos either.
I don’t think they’re very photogenic;)
Mmm I adore spaghetti squash. Sadly it doesn’t seem to exist in Australia anymore (my Mum used to make it for me when I was a kid. I tried to grow some last year and managed to get one in an entire yard full of tangled plant tendrils-gardening is not my strong point!!) I’m very jealous of everyone who can get it!
I too have IBS (am currently looking into Fructose malabsorption which seems to be the new way to treat IBS). Fruit has always bothered me and I definitely limit the veggies when I’m not well. I do eat potatoes and pumpkin and stuff though. I tend to carb up on bad days. Seems to be the only thing that doesn’t cause too much distress.
Aw, that’s very sad they don’t have it in Australia! Hm.. I’ve never looked into fructose malabsorption! Going to look at the right now! Yah, carbs seem to be a pretty safe food with illnesses.
ooh im gonna have to try coconut and peanut paste together – a great idea! your lunch looks so gorgeous as well – the strawberries mm!
It was a pretty awesome food day!
I always avoid veggies when my stomach feels off too – I usually end up eating a lot of oatmeal bread, and bland foods!
I haven’t had spaghetti squash in forever! I like it, but I much prefer the sweeter squashes so I always buy those ones instead haha.
Same with me! I just can’t stomach the fiber all the veggies have. Yes, I definitely prefer sweeter squashes ha ha. I have a huge sweet tooth!
