What I’m eating

I haven’t posted eats in a while. Part of that is because I eat a lot of the same meals. Like Shelley does, I get in a routine and tend to stay there.

Breakfast is blintzes most days, either topped with blueberries, apple topping or me living it up topping it with nectarines and dried cranberries:blintz7-11

A breakfast like this is around 400 calories for me with my coffee.

I will also make a giant pancake with Bisquik Heart Smart with some added protein.  Topped with sauteed banana.

It’s one big pancake because I’m too lazy and hungry to make more than one. 😀 This is around 350 calories.

Lunch is Greek yogurt a lot of times with fruit and some sort of cereal.

I went on a chicken sausage kick for a while. The Al Fresco brand. High protein and many flavors, not all good LOL.  This could be lunch or dinner.

I think I’m done with those for a while.  I am not done with the blueberries though. I plow through a couple pounds a week!  I love them and they are in season.

Still lots of omelets. I love eggs. This could be lunch or dinner.

I have had tofu again. This is Chipotle flavored and actually pretty good.

You might note that I’m eating more carby foods. Since it is cycling season, I do better with more, especially since I ride almost every day.

We eat usually 3 meals out a week. 2 are breakfast (my favorite!!)

Then a lunch or dinner.  We had a couple really good dinners. One was at Dizzy Chicken, which John can eat vegetarian at with no trouble (surprisingly). I finally had a chance to try their Buffalo Chicken soup and it was amazing!

It won some soup contest and I’m not surprised. I can’t wait to have this again when it’s a bit cooler 🙂

One of our downtown restaurants expanded (Raul’s), which is great because we didn’t like to go to the old spot because it was too cramped. The food is excellent though. These are chicken tacos in a mole pablano sauce and caramelized onions.

John loved the falafel tacos as well, and this is on the docket for a football meal in the fall!

There are the long ride treats, of course:

And sometimes at the end of a long work day, you have to relax:

Not gourmet eats, but tasty. Fast meals seem to be the order of the day of late.

    Those chicken taco’s look delicious (so is the cupcake). I should eat more of the same often because sometimes it takes up a lot of time for meal planning (going through cook books and recipes to find a new recipe).

    Nothing wrong with a food rut as long as it’s not filled with M&Ms, LOL! Your blintzes look really good and of course that nectarine topping is calling my name!

    Caramelized onions for a taco–yumm! And making one big pancake? I did that for years, before I finally figured out how to make three small ones 🙂

    I’m always interested in what people are eating because, as you mentioned, it feels like we can get into a rut and just eat the same things that are quick and easy to prepare. So seeing what other people do and possibly add something new to the rotation can make meals more exciting.

    I love it all!!! I am a creature of habit & change things up with seasoning & stuff but eat a lot of the same stuff. I know the make up so it makes it easier to keep track of it all. Dang – I need a bagel. Too long without one!!!!
