I get asked all the time what I eat. So I have decided to show y’all! Every Wednesday I will post all of my meals and recipes! I don’t ever diet, ever. It is much easier for me to stay healthy if I have a good balance. What does that mean? I eat things like cookies and pizza every once in a while and I never deprive myself (that leads to bad decisions later!). I do my best to make sure we are eating organic ingredients all the time. None of that fake food is welcome in this Montana house! We don’t do artificial sweeteners, colors, fat free, low fat, etc etc. I have included Max’s little meals too, mostly because pictures are much cuter with his face!
Breakfast: My breakfast is almost always the same. I do 3 whole eggs + 2 egg whites with 1/2 cup of oatmeal and 1 banana mixed in (I add cinnamon for more flavor). I am pretty much addicted to orange juice, so I have my little glass every morning. Max enjoys his breakfast oatmeal at this time too 🙂
Snack: Ok, this is weird, and not a norm, but breastfeeding cravings have been way worse than any pregnancy craving! Lately, that craving has called for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I use two slices of bread, about 1 1/2 tbs peanut butter and 1/2 tbs jelly.
Lunch: Max and I ventured to our local Whole Foods to buy ingredients for our dinner so lunch was on the go. I made myself a salad from the salad bar at Whole Foods. Loaded that sucker up with spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, almonds, chicken, and a little bit of balsamic vinaigrette dressing. I also had two tacos from the taco bar. (My phone died or I would have had photo evidence of this amazing lunch)
Snack: My favorite part of the day is my Orgain Organic protein shake. I mixed two scoops of the protein powder with 2 cups almond milk.
Dinner: With all this gloomy weather we have been having I have been in the mood for soups lately. I decided chicken chili was the way to go! This bad boy is the bomb.com.
Here is how its made:
1 onion chopped and placed on the bottom of the crockpot
3 chicken breasts
1 package taco seasoning
1 can black beans
1 can garbanzo beans
1 can corn
1 10oz can of tomato paste
1 can of rotel
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
Layer all ingredients in a crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours. This made my house smell amazing!
While the hubby and I enjoyed our chicken chilli, Max was chowing down on some sweet potatoes and peas! He loves both! Yay!
And all of that, along with about a gallon of water, is how my Wednesday meals looked! What do y’all think?
