What I Ate Tuesday

I am so excited about a new breakfast recipe I really like.  I have seen it on a couple blogs and have been wanting to try it for a while.  It is hard for me to deviate from my normal breakfast smoothie, but I will be throwing this in the mix often!  Cliff said, I have to admit I really liked it (he can be a little hesitant with my new healthy recipes)!  On to my day of eating

Breakfast:

 You stir the ingredients until they form crumbles

Recipe:  Cookie Dough Oatmeal

I used almond butter instead of sunflower butter.  Topped it with bananas and mini chocolate chips.  Poured whole milk over it-YUM

Lunch:

 Moroccan Inspried Quinoa Salad

 I got this recipe from Kath Eats and followed it exactly.  Only thing I do different is add the spinach each time I serve it because I didn't want it to get soggy after sitting in the fridge combined.  I love this for lunches, it is a great cold lunch.

Snack:

 Cara Cara Orange, which I had at lunch and a smoothie with trail mix in it for a snack

Dinner:

Leftover Chicken Burgers

Snack/Dessert:

 Rice cake with peanut butter and nutella with mini chips, Plus a small glass of milk

I had a busy day.  Work went good and I am exausted.  Hope you all had a great day!

What I Ate Tuesday

Are you ready for my exciting day of eats?

Breakfast:

Strawberry Banana Smoothie with Oats

(1/2 cup plain greek yogurt, 1/2 cup milk, 3 ice cubes, 1/2 frozen banana, 3 or 4 frozen strawberries, sprinkle cinnamon and blend.  Add 1/3 cup uncooked oats at the end, stir up and enjoy.  The longer it sits the better the oats taste)

Green Tea to go with it

Lunch:

 This is at lunch after I had added in my spinach, tomato and cheese

 This is the night before

Quinoa Salad from Breanna (she uses pasta but I use quinoa, both are awesome)

It turned out really good and the recipe follows

Snack:
Strawberries and 1/2 of a mango (sorry no pic, I ate it on the run)
Baby Carrots dipped in peanut butter (also no pic)

Dinner:

 Had a little corn tortilla with butter and jelly on the side

 This is the tricky part, I had to flip this, then add toppings

 Sauteed cauliflower, bell pepper and sausage

 Add cheese and fold over.  Then I put my corn tortilla in the skillet

Omlete

(2 eggs, ground sausage, cauliflower, bell pepper and cheese)

Snack:  Mixed nuts with dark chocolate chips (walnuts, dry roasted peanuts, slivered almonds, tiny amount of dried cranberries and dark chocolate chips.


Quinoa Salad
1 cup dry quinoa, cooked according to directions (makes 3 cups cooked)
1/2 package halved pepperonis
1/2 bell pepper, diced (you could use olives instead, that is how Breanna makes it)
3/4 cup Italian dressing
Cherry tomatoes
1/2 pound mozzarella, cubed
Drizzle olive oil

Combine all ingredients together and refrigerate.  Serve over spinach.  I made a few modifications to this for my lunch because I didn't have enough pepperoni (so I just used less) and I only had a roma tomato and shredded mozzerella so I decided to add them each time I eat it.
I added the cheese, fresh cut tomato and spinach at lunch when I ate it.  Delish
