It’s been a while since my last What I Eat In A Day post, huh?
A handful of you had mentioned that you liked these sort of posts, so I’m going to shoot to do them once a week or so! As for this one, Let’s rewind to yesterday, shall we?
Yesterday was a rare occasion where I ate every single meal at home. To most people that sounds crazy, but here in Manhattan dining out multiple times a day is the norm. Not to mention I’m always visiting restaurants for Hungry Blonde. A definite perk of the job 😉
I woke up around 6:30am to pound out some work first thing, along with a massive (un-pictured) mug of coffee with unsweetened almond milk. Nespresso is always my drug of choice. Then around 9am I had breakfast.
I’ve shared before how I “can’t live without” Free Bread, so I pretty much always have a loaf in the freezer. I made some easy toast topped with Justin’s peanut butter, unsweetened coconut, and hemp seeds.
After some more work and running out for a few meetings, I managed to fight the urge to stop at one of my favorite healthy spots and instead came home to make this Pinterest-inspired lunch.
I followed this recipe for Black Bean Butternut Squash Quesadillas but skipped the crema and used goat cheese instead of Monterey Jack. I also used Tumaros Skip The Sandwich tortillas, which are low carb and only 60-80 calories (depending on the variety). I LOVE these wraps and always have them on hand – they feel like I’m beating the system or something, ha.
Since I had lunch on the later side I wasn’t hungry before going to meet someone for happy hour, so I was starving by the time I got home around 9. Thankfully I had everything on hand to make this go-to meal: Roasted Salmon over Zucchini Noodles with Bolthouse Farms Cucumber Dill Greek Yogurt dressing. This pic is from a few weeks ago, but same idea (AKA way prettier than last night’s).
Oh and by the way – if you skip the dressing this is a great Whole30 approved meal!
For “dessert” I had a few pieces from the candy corn stash on our coffee table because we can’t let it go to waste, of course 😉
And there you have it! This would definitely be one of my healthier days of the week, so maybe next time around I’ll show you what my weekend eats look like. In the meantime you can follow along on Instagram and Snapchat (alagracie) for more “a day in the life” coverage!
