Hello hello! Happy Wednesday!
This post is going to be short and sweet since I already wrote up a post on The Best of June and I spent most of my free time watching Orange Is the New Black on Netflix. I’m getting to the point where I really just need to finish the new season so I can move on with my life and actually be productive. It just sucks me in everytime I’m near my laptop 😯 .Then, all of a sudden I’m 4 episodes in and haven’t checked anything off my to-do list. Woops.
Anyways, FOOD! More specifically, fruit. I just could not get enough today.
Breakfast:
I really had zero appetite this morning so I just whipped up a serving of steel cut oats cooked with vanilla extract and cinnamon and topped them with blueberries and a bit of honey.
Then, it was off to my comparative literature class. In between that and my ochem lab, I grabbed a quick build-your-own salad.
Lunch:
Lettuce, carrots, beets, corn, chicken, a little tuna salad, and craisins. All topped with honey mustard salad dressing.
Post-lab snack:
Mangoes and dark chocolate with coffee <3.
Also, how gorgeous are these mangos? I don’t think I’ve mentioned this yet, but about a week ago the body part of my camera decided to randomly insert a huge black bar into all of my photos. Turns out the sensor was deciding to be a butt and, long story short, I ended up having to shell out some big bucks to buy a new one. I slightly upgraded to a Nikon D5200 (from a D5100) and LOVE it. I didn’t think it would make too much of a difference since I’m still using the same lenses, but I’ve been getting great shots with my new D5200 on the first try and without having to do any editing. Not complaining!
Dinner:
A massive pile of Garlic Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts and pan-fried chicken. An un-pictured whole wheat english muffin on the side.
Post-dinner snack:
More blueberries. I blame Trader Joe’s for selling a huge 1.5 lb container of them for just $5. I bought them yesterday and they’re all gone excepts for a puny 1/2 cup serving that I’m planning on having tomorrow morning.
So there you have it! A day’s eat in a quick nutshell.
Question of the Day: What’s the best thing you’ve eaten so far this week?
I have been on the BIGGEST brussels sprouts kick recently- it’s great to ward off co-workers! You have me craving a tuna salad now- made with an inappropriate amount of mayo.
I’m on a fruit kick as well – and my sister mows through blueberries insanely fast!
Gorgeous shots, lady! Glad to see that your new camera is serving you well
And I’ve been on the biggest blueberry kick myself lately… In fact I think you’ve just decided my oatmeal toppings this morning 😛
haha, we felt the same way with OITNB. We just finished on Monday and feel slightly relieved.
All of your eats look awesome! And I’m looooving blueberries lately! I love fresh ones SO Much when they’re super sweet!
Your salad looks deeeelicious!! I really need to start adding corn to my salads more often!
Gorgeous eats! I think I need to get on board with Orange is the New Black. It sounds awesome!
I haven’t tried steel cut oats yet. Must do this pronto!! It’s probably a good thing I don’t have Netflix because it would literally suck up all of my time. That’s crazy about your camera!! Did they at least give you a deal on your new one?
I’ve been eating so many blueberries as well!! And I eat oats almost every day for breakfast. What can I say, I love me some oatmeal!
Your blueberries look delicious! Also, that dark chocolate looks pretty savory too. It sucks having to get a new camera since they are soo freakin’ expensive, but I’m glad you love the new one you got!! Hmmm….best thing I’ve eaten this week is my coffee shake I’ve been making.
Your shots look awsome! I’m still trying to figure out how to take good food photos, I’ll figure it out eventually. My fav food lately is my yogurt bowls with fresh fruit. Cant beat that fresh fruit!
I love brussels sprouts! The best thing I ate this week was sushi!
Your brussel sprouts look so good! I’ve been loving on the berries lately too… I just picked up some raspberries to add to the blueberries in the fridge – the raspberries are my fave!
Yummy stuff there! I will literally just eat handful after handful of fresh delicious blueberries! Thes best food this week was probably…chocolate chips? maybe? hehe
I totally hear ya on orange is the new black taking away productivity. I binge watched it in about 3 days, whoops!
That sucks about your lens! But at least you were able to upgrade. The pictures look great!
And yes to all of the blueberries! I can’t get enough.
