Happy Hump Day and Happy Birthday to the most beautiful and caring person I know, my mom! I’m up bright and early this morning to write my post (while my husband and Keenan are still sleeping), since we are driving down to take my mom out for lunch, and I still need to run a few errands, pack for our extended getaway, head to CrossFit and train my client tonight. It is a busy day ahead, but a fun one!
Since it is Wednesday, it is time for another edition of What I Ate Wednesday, thanks to Jenn at Peas and Crayons for hosting.
Here are my eats from the past couple of days:
Breakfast:
– Leftover Paleo Almond Blueberry Pancakes
Sooo good and they freeze well, too!
Lunch:
– Turkey rolls
Still one of my favorite lunches!
-Leftover spaghetti squash mixed with pasta sauce, chicken, tomato and avocado
Though it doesn’t look pretty, it was a really satisfying lunch!
Snack:
– Paleo Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies
Keenan and I enjoyed eating the two last cookies for our afternoon snack yesterday!
Dinner:
– Mediterranean Chicken Pork in the Crock Pot over spaghetti squash
The pork added a nice richness, along with the feta cheese!
– Roasted brussel sprouts with herb chicken cooked in the crock pot
Such a good dinner last night!
Oh, before I forget, after training my client last night, I was inspired to put together another CrossFit workout for home or travel that I wanted to share with you. It’s timely, since my husband and leave for our extended weekend getaway for his birthday tomorrow! I’m going to try to workout at least one day, but we’ll see…
Speaking of, one of my husband’s birthday gifts (that he requested) was for me to be “unplugged” the whole weekend, so I will be a little MIA until next week. I’ll be sure to post pictures on Instagram and updates on Twitter and Facebook, but look for a full recap post next Tuesday.
Have a great Wednesday and enjoy the rest of your week! Oh, Happy Valentine’s Day!
Questions:
– What are you looking forward to eating today? I can’t wait to make myself a nice big bowl of No Oat Oatmeal with leftover Coconut Whipped Cream!
– What are your plans for Valentine’s Day? My husband and I usually don’t do much, but after we bring Keenan to my in-law’s, we are going to stop at our favorite lunch place, and slowly make our way to the coast. We are also planning to make a nice dinner and share a bottle of wine. It should be fun!
*Also, If you entered the Drink Chia giveaway, check here if you won. There are 13 winners!!
hahah love it that he asked for you to be unplugged…i guess he wants your undivided attention!
I know, it made me chuckle when he told me, but it is needed. We both spend too much time in front of the computer or our phones! It is good to “unplug” every now and then!
Yay! I won some Drink Chia!! I can’t wait to try it. Thank you!
For Valentine’s Day my husband made some mysterious dinner plans for us on Friday . . . so I’m not exactly sure what that’s all about yet, but I’m excited. Tomorrow night, I plan on making a nice dinner for us at home. On the menu: bison filet mignon, roasted kabocha squash and probably some broccoli. 🙂
Congrats! Let me know how you like Drink Chia; it is good stuff!
Your Valentine’s Day sounds fun. I love surprises! Ooh, and bison filet mignon…YUM!
OMG those pancakes – drool worthy! 🙂
Yes, they are SO good! They are my favorite pancakes by far!
Aww, happy birthday to your mom! We were just talking about making cookies today… checking out your recipe, those sound perfect!
Thank you, we had a nice lunch with her today and Keenan made sure to sing Happy Birthday. It was too cute! I hope you like the cookies. Happy Baking!
It’s so good to unplug every once in awhile! Sounds like you are going to have a great Valentine’s Day and Happy Birthday to your hubby! We don’t usually do too much for V-day. Mellow dinner at home rather than going out to fight the crowd. This year we will probably fondue depending on how I’m feeling. I’m planning to be 100% by tomorrow! Hopefully my immune system is planning the same thing!
I’m looking forward to “unplugging;” we both need it! Fondue sounds delish! I hope you feel better soon; that is no fun for your birthday!
Oh your pictures look wonderful!
Thank you and thanks for stopping by!
Thank you!
SO excited to try your pancake recipe! Thanks!
Thank you! I hope you like them as much as I do!
So many gorgeous eats here, I love that you posted the paleo recipes as I’ve been trying to eat more paleo recently. The brussel sprouts look delicious!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the recipes!
