Happy Hump Day! Since it has been so warm, I’ve been on a salad kick lately. My husband thinks I’m funny, because all I have wanted for lunch and dinner is salad, though not just your standard lettuce ones. Anyhow, I’m excited to share some of them for today’s What I Ate Wednesday! Thanks, Jenn, for always hosting. If you haven’t already, head on over to her blog to see some of her yummy eats!
Breakfast: My usual, No Oat Oatmeal loaded with spinach and topped with strawberries, cherries and almond butter. I look forward to eating this every morning!
Lunch: A HUGE salad loaded with leftover roasted butternut squash, red onions, tomatoes, avocado, turkey and a hard boiled egg. This was SO good!
Snack (pre-workout): A piece of my favorite packaged snack, a KiZE Bar.
Dinner: Savory Roasted Butternut Squash Salad with red onions, prosciutto, roasted walnuts and feta cheese.
It’s time to head to Keenan’s first “big boy” swim class. It is the first time that I won’t be in the pool with him, so I’m anxious to see how he does! Enjoy your day!
Questions:
What is your favorite salad?
When the weather gets warmer, do you find yourself making more “cold” meals?
What is one thing that you ate today?
Oh yum- that butternut squash salad looks so good! I love starting with greens and throwing anything and everything on top. Especially when we have feta cheese and kalamata olives, mmmm.
Thanks! I’m the same way; I love to add whatever is in the fridge to my greens, add a little vinegar and oil and call it my “salad!” It is always good!
I am the same way with salads in the summer…They taste so much better to me!
Agreed!
Oh my gosh, YES! When the weather gets hot, I do NOT want hot foods. I eat everything straight out of the fridge 😛
That salad looks amazing!
Keenan’s gonna do great 🙂
Thanks! I’m like you, I only want cold foods in the Summer. If I could, I’d eat ice cream or a milkshake everyday during the Summer! 🙂
I love eating salad int he summer. I also love butternut squash – I am going to have to try that salad and the No Oat oatmeal out. they look delicious!
When it is hot, all I want is cold foods, and salad is my favorite! I look forward to hearing how you like the No Oat Oats and salad!
How funny you posted a butternut squash salad! When we were away last weekend I had a salad at a cafe in Placerville that had goat cheese, toasted almonds, roasted butternut squash and bacon over arugula. It was so good!
Yes, I saw that on your blog. That is too funny! I love the idea of using arugula and goat cheese. I’ll have to try that next time!
I love salads that combine cold with warm . . . the different temps and textures really make a salad more satisfying to me. 🙂
I totally agree!
I love salads all year, but especially in the summer. My favorites include lots of fruit and nuts on them. I also think feta cheese makes everything taste better. I eat a combination of hot and cold when the weather is hot, but I sure do like things lighter when it is hot.
Feta does make everything taste better! 🙂 I love adding fruit and nuts to my salads, too, especially grilled fruit in the Summer!
