a different breakfast

by Sarah Zinkel on June 20, 2012

whew! good morning, friends! i can’t believe it’s wednesday already.

as is the norm for every wednesday around here, i’m joining in with jenn’s what i ate wednesday party.

if you’re looking for some inspiration to mix up your meals, or just like drooling over food porn, definitely go check out some of the blogs who linked up this week too!

all of the meals i’m showing you today are from monday’s work-a-thon at home!

i started out with a different breakfast for me – a breakfast salad!

breakfast salad - greens with an egg

mixed greens, tomatoes, ham, balsamic vinegar, a splash of oil, and a drippy egg!

i really liked this breakfast. the egg yolk “dressing” was delicious on the salad!

and coffee on the side as always.

my morning snack was…..

fresh cherries

cherries! i can’t get enough of these little guys lately. so fresh & flavorful!

lunch was another salad. in the same bowl as breakfast. (i washed the bowl though!)

big salad

this one had mixed greens, tomatoes, ham, kohlrabi, and radishes with some soy ginger dressing from trader joe’s.

my afternoon snack was some more fruit.

frozen red grapes

this time, frozen grapes!

i found grapes on sale two weeks in a row, so now we have an abundance of frozen grapes in the freezer. yum.

after working my booty off all day on monday, the last thing i wanted to do was make dinner. plus, we had been planning to eat out after our meeting that was cancelled, so we ordered chinese take-out!

i can’t remember the last time i had chinese food, but this was a great choice for an easy dinner.

mixed vegetables in brown sauce

i ordered the mixed vegetables and they hit the spot! i also snagged a piece or two of brad’s general tso’s chicken. so delicious. so fried. yum.

dry blood orange soda

i drank this soda on the side. i loved it! brad and i picked these up at marshall’s over the weekend. i love checking out the food items there. they’ve always got something new!

finally, dessert was my new favorite treat.

dessert - dark chocolate dipped in almond butter

trader joe’s dark chocolate dipped in cinnamon almond butter! it’s blurry because i coudln’t wait to eat it…

……………………

it’s like my friday because i’m heading off to denver at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow morning for the fitness & health bloggers conference.

i’m really excited because this is my first blogging conference, but i’m also really really nervous! none of my best blends are going to be there and i really don’t “know” a single person. i’m excited to meet a bunch of fellow fitfluential ambassadors and other new-to-me bloggers, but it’d definitely be easier if i knew more people.

………………….

have you ever gone to a blogging conference?

any advice for a first-timer like myself?
