Apparently it’s been longer than I thought since I shared my eats with you guys as I have QUITE a bit of photos on my camera.. so here we go!

My favorite Naked smoothie!

I drank a serving of this smoothie after a workout for two days.. perfect post-workout drink!

Puffins and cereal..

And a Puffin yogurt mess today!

And yet more cereal..

And then began the oats…

Starting with overnight oats made with plain Greek yogurt, old fashioned rolled oats, milk, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt soaked overnight.

Topped with Barney Butter and strawberry preserves.

Yesterday morning I awoke with an intense craving for whipped banana oats..

Topped with Barney Butter, Crofter’s, and blueberries

Thus, a bowl of deliciousness!

And dinner last night was gooood…

My mom made burgers (turkey burger for me) topped with sauted onions and mushrooms.

Green beans and 1/2 of baked potato on the side.

And dessert? Also amazingly delicious.

FRESH strawberries topped with Light Cool Whip.

It’s really early around this area for strawberries but my dad managed to locate some for us. He bought a gallon the other day and this is what’s left..

You might say we like strawberries. Just a tad

And finally, lunch today was a green monster and string cheese

While this GM was super good for me, it wasn’t winning any taste awards…

 

What is something exciting that has happened to you recently?!

I found out today that I was accepted to the apartment complex I fell in LOVE with and applied for near Winthrop! While everything isn’t quite for sure yet, it’s almost there!

AND I leave for the beach in 4 days for Spring Break!

First up, the puppy!

His name? Romeo. Him is a pug!!! <- Said in the most annoying baby talk voice EVER.

In any case, we love him to pieces. But how could you not?!

 

As December was not a month of blogging as my computer was sick for most of the month (it’s all better now!) and I wasn’t, well, in much of a blogging mood, I have pictures to share! Ready?! Lez go…

The cats? Not the biggest fan of little Romeo…

Sweet potato fries? Something I AM a fan of.

As well as smoothies. My latest favorite? Frozen strawberries and pineapple, 1/2 of a banana, yogurt, milk, and Jay Robb’s vanilla protein powder.

OIAJ time!

Baking ensued for the baked goods exchange Amy hosted…

Where I made these…

Jess’s Cake Batter Chocolate Bark… no words.

It was a good month food wise, indeed.

 

And finally, the quite belated (my apologies) announcement of the Shabby Apple giveaway is….

Laura L.!!! Laura, please e-mail me ASAP and I will get your prize on it’s way!

Hey guys! Yes, operation blogging break is still in effect but well, I miss you guys! And I’m beginning to think I’m a little crazy for not blogging… it’s one of the things in my life that make me the happiest and at this time, when I’m NOT the happiest, why take away something that makes me happy? Exactly. But like I said, the blogging break is still in effect because I honestly have very limited time for blogging. And exercise. But that’s beside the point… I’m trying to get my priorities straight and find a place for everything in my day.. including blogging. It just may take some time

BUT, I thought I’d share with you all the delicious food porn I’ve collected..

These babies are kind of amazing..

Birthday cake ice cream sandwiches?! Need I say more?

Try these. If you like cake and you like ice cream, it’s a little exciting.

Peach season!

A bagel thin.. half topped with peanut butter and a peach (amazing!)

 

And leftover peach on the side.

Leftover Thai food that was pretty much incredible…

This was a pancake that well, wasn’t exactly a pancake,

Buuut it was seriously incredible. It fell apart but it was all gooey (in a good way) and full of peaches inside with a crispy outside. Um… yeah, happy mistake.

Annnd spaghetti!

AKA, my comfort food. Well, my mom’s spaghetti is my comfort food but this was a good second.

Someone can’t get enough peaches lately…

And you know you can’t read my blog without seeing waffles… hehe.

Multi-grain Cheerios and Panda Puffs mixed together.. omg.

I felt like I was eating a kid’s cereal for breakfast

More peaches and bagel thins..

And moooore bagel thins..

One morning I had a random craving for stovetop oats…

Craving satisfied

Topped with granola and peanut butter

And a frozen BBQ Chicken pizza that was actually delicious

A new cereal that is sorta delicious… Nature’s Path cereal with strawberries.

And it’s ALSO delicious mixed with yogurt.. just saying.

Finally, today’s breakfast of overnight oats.. it’s been too long.

 

Until next time loves

"The early bird catches the worm; a stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can’t pretend we haven’t been told. We’ve all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to ‘seize the day’. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying."

This is going to be a quick post as I’m about to go out and celebrate my birthday a little early with my bestie As Katie has said, we’re only young ONCE… why not live it up?!

 

This was pasta topped with a Quorn Chik’n patty, tomato sauce, and parmesan cheese

Tasted JUST like chicken parmesan but a LOT healthier!

And I treated myself to an Easter Little Debbie Cake

A bowl of oats that I had at some point. I honestly don’t remember what’s in the base but it’s topped with Barney Butter and Peanut Butter Cream Cheese! Does it get any better?!

In my cute new Spring-y bowl from Target

 

 

Yet another bowl of oats.

This time topped with banana, Barney Butter, and Blue Diamond Honey Almond Butter.

Annd peanut butter protein pancakes.

I honestly don’t remember who’s recipe I followed but I sort of screwed them up royally. They look amazing right?! (My boyfriend even said “What is THAT? That looks amazing!! as I was typing this post..)

I added peanut flour to a recipe for whole wheat pancakes (I know I also used whole wheat pastry flour) and honestly they WOULD have been amazing, sans the peanut flour.

Maybe I’m a traitor to the blog world but I just do NOT like peanut flour. I WANT to like it buuuut… it’s just not there.

Another bowl of oats topped with banana, Barney Butter, and Udi’s Gluten Free Granola (which is pretty much GONE… it’s addictive).

SO good! I just loved the crunch the granola added to the otherwise mushy bowl.

The best breakfast I’ve had all week… Kath’s Doughy Overnight Oat Smoothie.

I mixed oats, yogurt, almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and chia seeds the night before. In the morning, I blended it all up with a little more milk and topped it with Barney Butter and granola.

Holy cow… I’m thinking this is going to be a regular summer meal

And a SIAB FAIL. I blended raw oats, cocoa powder, yogurt, ice, and milk. Oh, and xantham gum.

Topped with Barney Butter and peanut butter cream cheese.

It tasted OK but it was WAY too runny..

And finally, something that never fails me..

 

Cereal, almond milk, and banana

 

 

And now I have a task for you. Grab some friends, get beautified, and go out and have a FUN weekend!!

Meals that Make Me Feel Good

Tags

chocolate oats, gym, Kashi, overnight oats, spaghetti, trader joe's, Whole Foods, yogurt mess

Working in a restaurant has its challenges. For instance, all of the delicious tempting foods at your disposal.. that you serve all night.. that call your name. Especially the buttery ooey gooey doughy cinnamon sugar covered croissants that are at your fingertips. When I first began working there, I avoided eating there at all costs. But then I started closing at night and I just could not keep the hunger at bay long enough so I give in. Quite frequently nowadays. BUT, it’s the same thing as if you were eating out daily. It makes me feel… BLAH. So I am making an effort to eat as good as I can when I can and eat mostly at home. And at work, stick to the veggie side dishes and salads.

In any case, some foods that I’ve been enjoying lately that are tasty AND good for me..

Homemade spaghetti with ground turkey and mushrooms made by my mom!

 

Waffles. With blackberries. Had you any doubt?

With a side of yogurt and banana..

Apples and pb..

With a veggie burger on toast.. yum!

Kashi cereal.. yep, the one with the sogginess problem.

Oats topped with cereal

TJ’s light mac and  cheese.. YUM!

Overnight oats topped with mixed berries and TJ’s flax peanut butter

A yogurt mess with Kashi cereal (that I totally forgot the name of), yogurt, and banana.

CHOCOLATE OATS!

Waffles topped with peanut butter, banana, and fake syrup

A yogurt mess with a Whole Foods low fat Blueberry Muffin

Overnight oats again with peanut butter and frozen strawberries

 

A yogurt mess with banana, ground flax, Kashi Honey Sunshine, and yogurt.

 

And now for a question.. with my busy life lately, I haven’t been to the gym in oh… weeks and weeks?! I try to fit in little mini strength training sessions at home but I REALLY miss the gym. The only times I have time to go between school and work is RARE and would make for an extremely rushed gym session. And, I would be giving up free/rest time to work out. Should I give up this time for a good sweat session? Also, I’ve never showered AT the gym BUT if this works out, it would mean showering and getting ready at the gym and going straight to work. I know people do this all the time.. how does this work for you? Any advice would be GREAT!

 

“And greatness, no matter how brief, stays with a man.”

Thank You Garners

That title will make sense soon, promise

So let’s just get it out of the way… by now everyone and their mother.. and their brother.. has heard about the Marie Claire article and blogged about it. As Jessica said, I’m not one to beat a dead horse either, and I don’t want to be a part of drama. BUT I have to throw out my two cents because 5 out of 6 of the bloggers that were mentioned in said article were the the bloggers that turned my life around. Through their blogs, they showed me what a real meal looked like.. how to fuel your body so that it can do it’s job.. they brought me to my love of running (especially Caitlin), and for those things, I am forever in debt and thankful to them. They were all kind and caring and helpful and reached out to me in many different ways. I have NEVER been negatively impacted by reading their blogs and it absolutely breaks my heart that someone would slander them in such a way. And the community as a whole. Because every single healthy living blogger was attacked in some way by this article. I love this community and I wish people could see if for what it really, see the love and friendships and support, not the twisted side that Marie Claire portrayed.

 

Moving on.. I passed my second test (the menu test) with flying colors tonight. I only have my server final and validation (serving a manager… eeek!) tomorrow and then I’m waitressing for real, on my own, earning TIPS tomorrow night. So far, i’m loving it. It is HARD work and some people are jerks for no apparent reason (guests AND those in the business) but I’ve been working with the public for 3 years and have such learned to put on a happy face, smile, nod, and agree when in doubt. But I am loving meeting new people and staying BUSY. I like being busy. And the money doesn’t hurt either…

 

And now I must forewarn you, because of cramming for the aforementioned tests plus my normal school stuff plus training, my eats have been boring and repetitive. For the most part. And I haven’t been taking pictures of every single thing but this has been the past 3 days in a nutshell…

I’ve had the same breakfast for 3 days…

Yes, boring, but delicious.

And I’ve been craving cold cereal so enter Kashi Go Lean Crunch with banana and almond milk…

OH changing it up with some raspberries in place of the banana…

 

Snacks of Cheeze Itz…

Hey they’re whole grain and a ton of other crap.. but sometimes just gotta give in to a craving when it calls.

A smooshed protein bar from the depths of my purse

Chemically ladden, perhaps. Delicious, you bet!

 

I’m also learning the art of pre-work snacks to keep me fueled all night.

PB & J Eggy Oats..

Base of oats, egg whites, water, 1/2 of a banana, pinch of salt, cinnamon, vanilla, milk, and water.

Topped with Crofter’s, almond butter, and peanut butter.

This left me beyond stuffed but it did the job of keeping me full all night!

 

Remembering my over-full feeling from the day before, I went a little lighter on my snack last night.

An apple on the bottom, Greek yogurt, raw oats, The Bees Knees peanut butter, and chocolate hazelnut butter.

Today I had this bowl of “overnight” oats..

Raspberry chobani, raw oats, and frozen raspberries on top.

 

I’ve also been having many the late night dinners.

Chili (mom made) with cornbread.

I don’t know how she does it but she makes the BEST chili!!! I had this two nights in a row.

And now to the title of the post.. Garner’s. Garner’s is a local health food store/cafe. After the gym today, I stopped to get a salad (i’ve been craving veggies like MAD… I blame it on my less than stellar veggie intake of late) and ended up getting lunch, dinner, and dessert!

Lunch was a salad: mixed greens, tomato, carrots, cheese, croutons, thousand island, and cucumber.

SO good. And their homemade egg salad on whole wheat bread.

Dinner after work was their turkey spaghetti..

HOLY yum! So comforting after being so tired and it being so cold out… delicious!

Annnd blueberry cobbler!!!!

Their homemade blueberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream. OH boy. It might not look amazing, but it was fan fricken tastic! It was all doughy and gooey and warm..

 

Today I am thankful for..

1. Meeting new people
2. My TRUE friends who are always there, no matter what
3. A new chapter in my life

I really appreciate all of the positive thoughts and encouragement for my interview yesterday! Without going into detail, I have another interview on Thursday with someone “important” at the same chain restaurant, but another location. It’s complicated buuuut wish me well!! I’m really hoping to get this! And to answer the questions, it’s a job as a server (waitress). No, not the most glamorous job but iI would be earning more money than I am now, I need some experience in the restaurant industry if I’m going to go to culinary school (in my opinion), it will help me be more outgoing, it will allow me to meet new people, and I simply need a change.

 

I’ve been on a ROLL with breakfasts the past two days…

Yesterday was overnight oats made with 1/2 cup oats, Greek yogurt, almond milk, coconut milk kefir, and a pinch of salt.

All topped with 1/3 of a Whole Foods Fat Free Blueberry Muffin, blueberries…

and figs. I don’t think I’ve shared with you my love of fresh figs… they are amazing. I’ve loved them ever since I was really little and would eat them straight off of my great-grandmother’s fig tree (p.s. , I WANT A FIG TREE).

And almond butter. Which I haven’t had in a while… I’ve been on a peanut butter kick but I had a sudden urge for the almond variety.

 

Lunch was somewhat light yesterday and on-the-go.

A smoothie with strawberries, pineapple, Jay Robb’s vanilla whey protein powder, ice, and almond milk.

Perfection.

And an apple.

I had dinner out with a friend last night.. un-pictured salad and chicken parmesan at a local Greek diner. I don’t eat it often but it was gooood.

With a Skinny Cow Chocolate Ice Cream thing for dessert.

 

Breakfast today… oh wow.

Overnight pumpkin oats parfait…

There’s banana slices and pumpkin butter layered..

With Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut Butter on top.

No words my friends, no words.

 

I then got my fitness on at the gym. Which, by the way, I’m back to logging on the Work It tab above, if you are interested. It was a good workout but honestly, I’m getting a bit tired of the elliptical. My options are limited because all I can do is elliptical and the stat bike. And swim. But I’m TERRIBLE at swimming and honestly don’t want to make a fool of myself. Tips? How do I spice up my cardio workout?

 

Lunch was quite possibly the best sandwich i’ve ever made…

1/3 of an avocado mashed with 1 wedge of light laughing cow cheese, tomato, buffalo deli chicken, and honey mustard.

Oh boy. This was AMAZING. The laughing cow and the avocado together… Heaven.

Along with the best apple ever… AKA Honey Crisp.  My first of the season. Did NOT disappoint.

With some PB & Co.’s The Bees Knees for dipping. And a chocolate Adora disk for “dessert.”

I also had these Sun Chips and figs before work.

I went to a Mary Kay party with a friend and ate “dinner” there in the form of a few bites of a croissant, an Oreo, some Cheet-O’s, and nut clusters. NOT the most satisfying dinner ever.

Hence this cereal when I came home..

A mix of Quaker oatmeal squares, Kashi Honey Sunshine, and grape nuts. In almond milk.

I also had some ice cream and a spoonful of peanut butter after.

Which brings up another subject… today on twitter, someone tweeted about how some healthy living blogs almost make them feel guilty. And I concur. Many bloggers seem almost… “perfect.” No junk food, no nighttime snacks, rare desserts… or at least they don’t blog about these things. And it almost makes me feel bad sometimes because I will almost always, without fail, have a dessert and sometimes a snack after dinner. And then I read these other blogs of bloggers who eat salads for lunch every single day, exercise every single day, and rarely indulge in desserts or other things… and it DOES make me feel a bit bad. Am I alone in this? What do you think?

Today I am thankful for…

1. My best friend
2. A new job and all that it will bring (hopefully)
3. Laughter

I’m glad everyone enjoyed my last post about letting go… I promise more positivity soon! I just needed that and I’m glad it helped others out just a little And yes, I need to take my own advice. I’ve been re-thinking some things of late. I’ve been in a funk lately… my life isn’t what I want it to be and I’m really trying to be positive on the blog but I can’t seem to get myself out of this… hole… that I’m in. I was hoping that getting back into blogging and cooking and working out and whatnot would get me out of it but so far no luck.. I really don’t know what to do. I think the root of it lies in that I haven’t faced some things that happened in the past; instead, I tried distract myself with people and stuff and things and never really faced my feelings and problems head on. And now, they’ve come back. Well they never really left but you get my drift… There are some things and people and feelings that I have to let go of. Easier said than done.

ANYWAYS, a little excitement around these parts… I got a new phone! I had an iPhone and I’m still a lover at heart buuut the Droid has been calling my name. So I answered I got a Droid Incredible! And I am in LOVE! IN LOVE. I’m still figuring things out but hopefully I’ll have it down soon!

Dessert back on Monday was a Tina inspired snack!

A sandwich thin topped with peanut butter and chocolate chips! All melty!

 

Breakfast yesterday was a yogurt mess.. a la HTP!

3/4 cup or so of plain nonfat Greek yogurt..

1/2 cup raw oatmeal and a tbsp. or so of ground flax.

and a peach, 1/2 of a banana, and blueberries!

 

Lunch was a sandwich involving leftovers..

Barbecue chicken, barbecue sauce, mozzarella cheese, on a sandwich thin… all warm and toasty!

Alongside a HUGE green monster!

It had:

• 1 cup or a little less of kale
• 1 peach
• 1/2 a scoop Jay Robb’s vanilla whey protein powder
• 1 cup or so of almond milk

It’s been so long since I had had a GM!! SO GOOD!

 

I had NO idea what I wanted for dinner so I tweeted for some advice. This lovely lady solved my dilemma..

eatsleeplaugh 

 

@Jess5694 mmm….stir-fried chicken with teriyaki sauce, pineapple, veggies and rice?about 23 hours ago via TweetDeck in reply to Jess5694

Is she one smart lady or what?!

I cooked 3 small chicken tenders with some pineapple juice…

Sautéed the veggies (broccoli, mushrooms, and bean sprouts) separately…

And then mixed the veggies, rice, pineapple, and chicken together and added some teriyaki, soy sauce, and pineapple juice.

Topped with salted peanuts, SO GOOD!

And then I had this ice cream cone for dessert…yum!

 

Breakfast today was inspired by KERF! (am I on a roll or what?!)

Scottish oats!!

They’re a nice change from regular oats… they’re almost doughy, like Kath says..

I cooked them like I do normal oats (except a bit longer).

They had..

• 1/4 cup oats (the serving size)
• 1 tbsp. quick oats
• 1/2 of a banana
• pinch of salt and cinnamon
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup milk

Topped with Naturally Nutty and Natural Skippy! And blueberries and raspberries.

 

Lunch was supposed to be eaten on the go but I ended up getting out of class early.. anyways, overnight oats…er, kind of.

A raspberry Chobani, 1/2 cup regular rolled oats, pineapple, raspberries, and blueberries.

YUM!

I had dinner out tonight… a few bits of a kid’s hamburger (yes.. I need to do a post about my return to red meat) with a couple of fries. I wasn’t feeling that hot at the time so I didn’t eat much.

When I got home much later tonight, I had this bowl of cereal…

It had Fiber One, Grape Nuts, and Kashi Sunshine.

As well as a small bowl of ice cream.

Have a nice night bloggies!

Sometimes its important to leave, so we are given that chance to see how special that someone really is. -Washeem

Let Them Go

almond breeze, almond milk, Amy's, Fage, Greek yogut, Jay Robb's, kefir, kraft, let go, OIAJ, overnight oats, PB & Co., pepperidge farm, pringles, protein powder, sandwich thins

I’m going to share with you my eats from today and what I haven’t shared from the past few days and then I have something very special to share…

 

Friday morning before heading to Charlotte, it was OIAJ time!

AKA my favorite breakfast of all time

ESPECIALLY because it was in a Barney Butter jar! Holy yum!

1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 of a banana, pinch of salt, pinch of cinnamon, ground flax..

Topped with a peach and a fig!

 

A pre-workout snack of a smoothie that tasted like peach ice cream!

It had 1 peach, 1 cup almond milk, and 1/2 school Jay Robb’s vanilla protein powder.

A post-workout snack of half of a sandwich thin. topped with PB & Co.’s The Bees Knees..

I CAN’T get enough of this peanut butter!

 

Dinner last night was very repetitive but I was craving it.

An Amy’s veggie burger…

Sweet potato discs…

And okra fries.

All dipped in barbecue sauce! I have a problem I tell you

 

Breakfast today was overnight oats.

1/2 cup oats, coconut milk kefir, Greek yogurt, splash of almond milk, pinch of salt.

Topped with a peach and 1/2 of a banana

And The Bees Knees and regular peanut butter.

Lunch was this sandwich that had Buffalo chicken breast, pepperjack cheese, and mustard.

YUM!

I also had some fat free sour cream and onion Pringles, an apple, and a banana over the course of the afternoon.

 

Dinner was a classic.

I don’t know about you but when I was growing up, we always had meals of certain foods together.

Barbecue chicken, macaroni and cheese (to be specific, Kraft), and green beans were one of those.

So comforting. So good

 

And now, this is an e-mail that was shared with me the other day and honestly, it was one of those things that if you believed in signs, you would believe this was a sign. This is something I’m really struggling with lately and I don’t think it was a coincidence that I received this when I did. And I hope that it helps you just as much as it did me

 

Let GO

There are people who can walk away from you.

And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you – let them walk. I don’t want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you… I mean, hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

The Bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can’t make them stay.

Let them go.

And it doesn’t mean that they are a bad person, it just means that their part in the story is over. And you’ve got to know when people’s part in your story is over so that you don’t keep trying to raise the dead. You’ve got to know when it’s dead.

You’ve got to know when it’s over. Let me tell you something… I’ve got the gift of good-bye. It’s the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It’s not that I’m hateful, it’s that I’m faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He’ll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don’t need it. Stop begging people to stay.

Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something that doesn’t belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to……
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains …….
LET IT GO!!!

If someone can’t treat you right, love you back, and see your worth……
LET THEM GO!!!

If someone has angered you.
LET THEM GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge…..
LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction… .
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents
LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude…. …
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better……
LET IT GO!!!

If you’re stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him………
LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship. ….
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won’t even try to help themselves.. ….
LET THEM GO!!!

If you’re feeling depressed and stressed …………
LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying ‘take your hands off of it,’ then you need to……
LET IT GO!!!
