Itz Wednesday which means itz a WIAW party over at Peas and Crayons! My eats yesterday were very random, mostly healthy, and totally delicious. I love food, so pretty much everything I eat is delicious. Breakfast is obviously first and that was my most put together meal of the day. I went with my Coconut Flour Pancake - itz always a good one! (I used two whole eggs instead of 1/4 cup egg whites.)
I topped it with coconut oil and fresh blueberries and strawberries. So good I didn’t even need syrup! I highly recommend spreading a thin layer of coconut oil on your pancakes; it makes the world of difference!
Lunch was… interesting. I grabbed a bunch of stuff from my fridge and decided I’d assemble it all at school. My intentions were to have a whole wheat tortilla filled with avocado, spinach, and raw peppers. However, when I cut into my avocado, I saw it was not good at all. #fail But then I noticed in the teacher’s lounge was a tray of taco dip that a co-worker made. I spread a couple scoops of that in my tortilla then added the spinach and pepper slices. It worked and was actually tasty!
I made and ate a second one after the first. The tortillas I use are La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious. They pack 7 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein! And they only have 50 calories on top of it all. Great stats for a tortilla.
Mediterranean Snacks sponsored my school’s Wellness Wednesday and provided us with Baked Lentil Chips & Baked Lentil Crackers. Lentils are among the world’s healthiest foods and are high in protein, iron, vitamin B1 and essential minerals for a healthy diet.
I had a bag of the Baked Lentil Chips for a snack. I think the Rosemary flavored chips have the most flavor. They all pack a great crunch though!
I had a meeting after school yesterday and was pretty hungry after school. I munched on a couple of things (like the Tropical Rice Pudding I have leftover in my fridge), made Jonny a peanut butter sandwich for his lunch tomorrow (and snuck a couple spoonfuls of pb), and then decided I should probably prepare food for dinner instead of munching my way through the kitchen. Our fridge is a bit bare, and I didn’t feel like waiting for any meat from our freezer to defrost.
I had a butternut squash in the pantry that needed to be used, so I roasted it on 400 for about 30 minutes and sprinkled cinnamon on top. Then I steamed some [frozen] broccoli and topped it with nooch sauce (nutritional yeast + Silk almond milk).
Since there wasn’t much protein in this, I knew I’d be hungry later. I had a bag of Bob’s Red Mill Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix in my pantry and decided to last night was the night they would get made! I enjoyed a couple of cookies with milk for a bedtime snack.
The rest of the batch will be taken to school to share my with team. These cookies aren’t healthy, but itz all about moderation! I love my indulgences!
What’s the best thrown together meal you’ve made lately?
I’m all about spreading coconut oil onto basically everything. It’s just so good! All your eats look super yummy! Chocolate chip cookies before bed- seriously nothing better than that! I am known to throw together meals all the time… I just take whatever veggies I have, add whatever protein I have on hand, and voila!
Veggies + protein make the best fast meals!
A cookie from time to time is never a bad thing in my opinion. Like you said all things in moderation. I always make small batches or freeze extra cookies or treats so I don’t have them sitting around tempting me. Bringing them to work is also a great idea to share with others who will enjoy them too!
Freezing them is a really good idea!!
I tend to PULLLL with my coconut oil :-0
I need to eat it more!
I’m guessing your team loves seeing you walk in the door if you bring them treats! Great eating yesterday!
Haha they were definitely happy as we munched on cookies at 9 am!
I’ll have to check out those wraps!! Looks so yummy!! My best thrown together meal lately have been my lunch salads….I basically just forge through the fridge and throw a bunch of veggies in and top with tuna and an avacado….so yummy!!!
Those sound a lot like my typical lunches, too!! Avocado makes everything better!
Coconut oil (or butter) on pancakes is one of my favorites….then again coconut butter on ANYTHING is amazing! Have a great day Lindsay!
I can’t agree with you more. I love all things coconut!
I think it’s so awesome your school has Wellness Wednesdays! What a great concept. That breakfast pancake looks amazing. Love all the fresh berries on top. I’m definitely going to have to try that coconut oil trick too. sounds amazing!
Coconut oil on pancakes seriously tastes like butter!!
That nooch sauce sounds like a brilliant idea. Quick and easy.
And I’m glad that you found another topping for your wrap! I would not have been able to survive on just tortillas and veggies
I learned about the nooch sauce from Heather at For the Love of Kale – I love it!
I love those baked lentil chips!!!!!!! They are my favorite.
The other day, I threw together a “make your own yogurt parfait” with fresh fruit, greek yogurt, granola, and nuts/seeds.
That parfait sounds so good!!
I LOVE Coconut oil and have been putting it in and on everything lately. I purchased a HUGE tub of it from Costco just a few weeks ago and we’ve already made quite a dent! I threw together Paleo Chicken Fajitas last night that were delicious! I guess fajitas are pretty hard to mess up but they were really good!
Fajitas are always a good last minute meal!
Yum! Everything looks so good. The best thrown together meal I had lately was mixing my veggie bowl leftovers with roasted red pepper hummus and putting it on a toasted sandwich thin. Delicious!
Using hummus as a spread on sandwiches is so tasty – I did that last week!
Your eats look delish!! Best meal I’ve thrown together today was probably my breakfast… just Chobani, protein granola, fresh strawberries, cinnamon, stevia, & chocolate PB. Winning combo!
Mmm def a winning combo!
That pancake picture is my favorite. It has me drooling over here!
Hehe! Fresh berries make everything look prettier!
I need those cookies!! Everything looks yummy. But I really love that your school has those healthy snacks!
We’re trying to encourage fast & healthy snacks around here!! Itz important to be role models to our kids!
I love coconut oil on warm toast! It’s so good! I have to try it next time on my pancakes!
YES! Coconut oil on warm toast is another great combo!!
I love your eats
Stir-Frys. I’m a master Stir Fryer.
Jonny and I LOVE stir fry!!
SO YUMMY. Love the work snacks:)
baked lentil chips are my favorite thing ever.
the last photo looks so very cozy and delish! i dig the coconut oil idea on pancakes, very cool and probably tastier than syrup because you can actually taste the yummy pancakes. omg thanks for the stats on those tortillas, sounds great and what a cool idea to put the taco dip in there. i love lentil chips and love that the company sponsors your school. healthy snacks FTW! salivating over the butternut squash.
The taco dip wasn’t the healthiest but ehhhhh everything in moderation
And it tasted good so can’t mess with that!!
Mmmmmm yes coconut oil!!!!!!! I’ve been having more and more of it lately
SO GOOD. I just eat my squash cold with some hard coconut oil on top 
cold squash?? not sure if i could get down with that… i like my squash hot and toasty!!
Those are some AWESOME stats for a tortilla! Whoa!
And those chips look really good. I kinda want to eat my screen! hah.
p.s. i love my indulgences too. mmmmmm
I always stock up when I buy the tortillas cuz I don’t find them very often!!
Those cookies look delicious.
I’ve never heard of/thought of putting coconut oil on pancakes. I bet it’s great! And I love that cookie picture…so comforting.
Really can’t ever go wrong with cookies + milk!!
Now I want a coconut flour pancakes topped with berries for breakfast tomorrow!
Looks so good!
Haha make em! The recipe calls for like 4 ingredients – super easy!!
I threw together a great, healthy tortilla pizza during the Super Bowl — multigrain tortilla with tomato paste, mini pepperoni, peppers and cheese. Totally hit the spot.
I need to start getting in on the WIAW action. Maybe next week.
That does sound good! WIAW is always a party – join in!
Ahh I hate it when I discover that an avocado is bad once I cut it open. It can be so hard to tell! I wish there was an easier way.
The best meal I’ve thrown together lately was a tofu and veggie stir fry with brown rice last night!
I know!! I brought another avocado to school today and it was just as soft as this one but inside was green!!
Yum, everything looks delicious as usual! I have the Bob’s Red Mill brownie mix and love it, and have a feeling I would be such a big a fan of the cookie mix.
Bob’s Red Mill makes so many awesome products!!
Your pancake photo is just beautiful & looks delicious!!
Best meal I’ve had lately: Either my savory pancakes, or eggplant roll ups.
Eggplant roll ups? I need to investigate this!
