G’day eaters!
I want to start off by saying a big ole Congratulations to Jenn, the host of WIAW, for getting knocked up!
Everyone around me seems to be getting pregnant. It’s awesome and all, but…
I really hope it’s not contagious.
Half an apple. A lot of pb. A vanilla whey protein shake.
Crossfit:
#PROOF of my 105# floor press PR!
PRs are my favorite.
Breakfast:
Scrambled eggs with bell pepper and avocado, and a pair of cuties.
This is my new typical breakfast.
Yup, I’m still on the scrambled eggs and cooked veg breakfast.
Side note — these are the smallest, cutest clementines I’ve ever seen. I finally feel like I’m getting “cuties,” not like those small-ish oranges I’ve been calling “cuties” all these years.
Lunch:
A Cobb salad of sorts — bib lettuce (my favorite!), rotisserie chicken, bacon, bell pepper, cheddar, avocado, and balsamic dressing.
Look! I did something “healthy living blogger”-like and made my lunch the night before while I was making breakfast. Let’s ignore the fact that I ate it at home.
Another pair of cuties.
Having it ready was still mighty handy.
Snack:
Let’s play the game where you don’t scold me for buying a giant bag of Twizzlers because it was $1 and I won’t pretend I only ate one serving.
Dinner:
This meal knocked my socks off! That’s real talk, eaters. Real talk.
A pork tamales and a pair of salsas, because I was indecisive.
First, I made the pork tamales over the weekend as part of my thesis. And while they were good on the day I made them, they were so much better a few days later when the exhaustion of making them had worn off.
Second, this soup was pure magic. I wanted to make some sort of lazy tortilla soup so I mixed a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes and then leftover “broth” from the tamale meat (which was the pork cooking water pureed with cooked garlic and cooked onion). I added a little bit of spice and pureed the whole deal again.
The most magical of all Mexican soups, topped with cheddar and tortilla chip crumbles.
And by the grace of the Mexican food gods (who I imagine have heads made out of grilled cheese sandwiches) it ab-so-freaking-lutely rocked!
The end.
Your turn, eaters:
What was the last winging-it meal that turned out magical for you?
What’s your favorite candy?
Later eaters!
