Eating Well

by Eating Bird Food on March 8, 2010

Today’s eats have been quite amazing so I’m going to let the photos do most of the talking.

Oatmeal/oatbran combination oats with slices of a ripe banana, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and vanilla bean. Topped with banana slices, pieces of coconut roasted almonds, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Deliciousness.

The coconut roasted almonds were a fun find at Ellwoods in the bulk bin aisle, my favorite section of all health food stores. I’d never seen them before, but as I was getting a bag of raw almonds they caught my eye. I bought a small portion and now I’m wishing I had more….

I waited way too long to leave my desk and was starving by the time I got home for lunch.

i whipped up this salad in a jiffy. A pile of veggies topped with a left over spelt burger, raw slaw, and a blob of hummus.

I also had 1/2 of a Jazz apple with cinnamon, maca, and a spoonful of pb on the side.

Following my March Madness goals I ate this lovely lunch distraction free- so long as you don’t count begging dogs a distraction. :)

I pack this yummy, chia seed filled bar for a snack back at the office.

Twas enjoyed.

After an easy workout at the gym I came home and enjoyed dinner of baked yellowfin tuna. Isaac prepared the tuna by rubbing on a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and an herb rub (Napa Valley Meritage with sea salt) I got in the swag bag at Foodbuzz.

The fish was served with a 1/2 of a sweet tater topped with earth balance, cinnamon and sea salt.

I’m excited for tomorrow as I have two social events to attend – an Eatingrichmond blogger meetup and the first meeting of a new book club I am joining!! I’m pumped to have something to do in the evening other than go to the gym and eat dinner. :) It stinks two fun things are scheduled on the same night – it’s going to be a busy, but fun evening!

Wow! That tuna looks delicious! You need to come over to my apartment and cook for me :) I had to do something quick and easy tonight but that may be a good idea for a later date this week!

how did you like that spice mix? I haven’t tried mine yet – I keep forgetting!

The spice mix is really good. We’ve used it on fish twice and loved it!

That oatmeal sounds delicious! Especially with those coconut roasted almonds on top. And the spelt burgers look so good!! I’ve been meaning to try those for a while….

Are you liking the famous “GIna combo” of maca + cinnamon?! I’ve been wanting to try that out too!

I’m really liking the maca and cinnamon on apples. You should give it a try!

Coconut roasted almonds sound like a great find! Haha to your “begging dogs” as a distraction – I wish my puppers didn’t beg! It drives me loco!!

Burgers, hummus, and salad are one of my favorite go-to meals. So simple, easy to fix, and delicious. Your spelt burger recipe in your previous post looks great! Thank you for sharing.
