Happy Hump Day! It’s been a great day so far. Keenan and I met Giselle and her adorable little guy, Ayden, this morning for a play date at Art Beast. On a side note, Giselle has a great blog, so I highly recommend checking her out! Anyhow, Keenan spent most of his time in the play area with the kitchen and shopping cart, as he wasn’t too interested in painting or doing anything art-related (maybe he had enough art yesterday with making Valentine’s Day cards!). It was nice to get out of the house and do something new, as well as chat with Giselle. I always feel so refreshed after a change of scenery, and especially talking with other moms. It is SO vital to get out every once in a while!
The boys playing!
Since it is Wednesday, it is time for another What I Ate Wednesday link-up with the lovely host Jenn, from Peas and Crayons!
Breakfast:
– No Oat Oatmeal with baby kale and dried blueberries (of course, topped with almond butter!).
I love adding dried blueberries in it!
– Mocha Latte with dark chocolate and unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
My new favorite morning coffee ritual!
Lunch:
– Cilantro Lime Spaghetti Squash leftover from last night’s dinner with arugula, tomatoes, avocado, a hard boiled egg, turkey and Tapatio hot sauce (It doesn’t look appetizing, but it was SOOO good!).
Not the prettiest of lunches, but it was SO good!
Soon-to-be snack before CrossFit:
– Half of a banana with one tablespoon of almond butter
Dinner:
– On the menu for tonight is either leftover Paleo Shepherd’s Pie with a side of sauteed zucchini with onions and campari tomatoes or a simple one-pot meal of chicken sauteed with zucchini, onions, garlic and tomatoes. I can’t decide.
But, before I go, I have to share last night’s dinner, Cilantro Lime Spaghetti Squash with Chicken. I saw the recipe from Sarah at A Gutsy Girl and my mouth was literally drooling. I made it last night, changing up a few things and it was AMAZING! My husband, who isn’t a huge fan of Spaghetti squash, said that it was one of the most satisfying meals he has eaten since doing our Paleo Challenge! We will definitely be adding this to our “regulars!”
YUM!
Questions:
– What was your favorite thing that you have eaten, today?
– Have you cooked with spaghetti squash? If so, how do you prepare it! I really love the squash, so I’m looking for new ways to prepare it.
Thanks for the love! We had fun too and I agree, so refreshing to get out and chat with other moms! Especially mom bloggers 🙂 That spaghetti squash recipe sounds so good! I never think to make it any other way except with spaghetti sauce. I’ll have to try this! Oh, I forgot to tell you today about banana flakes. I found them at the bulk section in Whole Foods and have been using those in place of a mashed banana in my eggs. I’ve also used them in Smoothies, Paleo Granola and Paleo Cookies. My new addiction!
It was a lot of fun and I can’t wait to do it again! Ooh, the banana flakes sound good! I have never heard of them, so I’ll have to look for them the next time I’m at the store or make a Whole Foods run. Paleo Granola sounds yummy; do you have a recipe for it?
I am so jealous you two were able to meet up. How fun & what a treat for your two cutie pies.
One of these days, we will all have to meet…maybe at a blogging conference?!
What a fun meet-up! (I read Giselle’s blog, too.) Yum–cilantro and lime are a great combo! I prepare spaghetti squash by either using a microwave (in a pinch for time), or cooking in the oven at 375°F for about 45 minutes.
Yes, it was fun to get together! Hopefully one of these days we can all meet up in person!
I make a yummy Mediterranean Spaghetti Squash and add shrimp or chicken to it and a couple of nights ago made a delish Tuscan Cauliflower. All 3 of us loved it!
Ooh, both dishes sound good! I would love to see your recipes!!
I am SO excited to have a new recipe for spaghetti squash! Thank you!
You are welcome! It is SO delicious; I can’t wait to make it again!
