keeping it simple

by Sarah Zinkel on August 22, 2012

i had a pretty simple day of meals yesterday.

quick and easy breakfast: a banana cut in half with cinnamon almond butter and some iced coffee (x3).

breakfast: banana + almond butter and iced coffee

lunch was a giant salad (x2): greens, ham, shredded cheese, ranch <—i needed to go shopping, obviously! no veggies in the house!

salad - greens, ham, cheese, ranch

kombucha on the side.

gt's trilogy kombucha

trilogy is my favorite gt’s flavor (except for the grape & cherry chia ones – yum!). woodman’s had a sale on them last week, so i grabbed two. it’s such a tasty treat!

snacked on some unpictured veggie chips & spinach & kale greek yogurt dip from trader joe’s.

dinner: salmon, broccoli, and some rosemary + goat cheese mashed sweet potatoes.

dinner: salmon, broccoli, mashed sweet potatoes

dessert: a scoop of blue moon ice cream (my favorite!) and an adora chocolate.

thanks as always to jenn for hosting what i ate wednesday every week!

click over to her blog and check out some of the other entries. they always give me meal inspiration!

……………….

today is a work from home day and i’ve got a to-do list a mile long. ok, not really a mile, but it’s long! lots of grad school stuff to do, some blog stuff, lots of house stuff, etc. it’s going to be a busy one!

plus, it’s supposed to be pretty warm outside. i might have to close the windows and turn on the a.c. for the first time in at least a week. we’ve been spoiled lately by cool nights and semi-cool days that don’t require a.c. i’m a baby though, and a high of 86* is too hot for me.

………………

what’s your favorite ice cream flavor?

i’m totally milking the “it’s summer so i get to eat ice cream” excuse for all it’s worth. i love blue moon, but i also really like the dairy queen vanilla cones dipped in candy coating. cherry is my favorite! i love the candy shell!

We haven’t had the air conditioner OFF since, oh, April. Ahh, different climates!

Those mashed sweet potatoes look awesome. Good luck on your to-do list.

Major ice cream envy!! I want Cedar Crest Blue Moon so badly… I may have to make a Wisconsin trip just for that.

Salted caramel – hands down the best ice cream flavor ever. It’s been a long time since I’ve had Blue Moon though…

Your dinner looks amazing. I never thought to add goat cheese to mashed potatoes. Thanks for the idea :)
