Hi everyone!
It’s Wednesday (WIAW)so let’s talk food. I’ve got another addition of my eats from the week along with a special request from my kiddos.
Let’s get to it!
- OIAJ – I’m so excited when there’s an empty jar. And it seems like there’s always an empty jar. We like our nut butters in our house!
- Green smoothie – I’ve been experimenting with coconut water instead of almond milk. I like it! It’s not as thick (depending on what I put in it) but tastes great.
- Nutty Nuggets – seriously can’t get enough of them. My kiddos have even become lovers. No added sugars and with only 4 ingredients. So yummy warmed up with bananas or blueberries and of course, a scoop of nut butter.
- Toasted hummus and veggie sandwich + Pink Lady apple – sometimes just a plain, simple sandwich hits the spot.
- Stir Fry Veggies – One of those days when nothing but veggies sound good. I’m on a serious mushroom kick lately (see below).
- Lavash veggie pizza with nutritional yeast + steamed broccoli
- Spinach salad with leftover Easter eggs and salsa – I can honestly say I’m sick of hard boiled eggs right now.
- Thai Peanut Salmon Salad –ย Had plans for another recipe but saw a variation of this and changed my mind. Definitely will be making this again.
- Black Bean and Avocado Salad over spinach
- Fried egg sandwich + sweet potato w/ cinnamon + sauteed mushrooms (more eggs and mushrooms of course)
- Baked haddock with seafood stuffing + roasted asparagus
- Mexican Spaghetti Squash Pie
- Falafel Veggie Burger
- Dr. Praeger’s Veggie Burgers – Hands down my favorite pre-made veggie burgers. No soy fillers and made with actual veggies. Great for a quick weekday dinner.
- Prepping veggies for the week
- Baked Broccoli Slaw Egg Rolls
- Chocolate “larabar” Balls + Coconut Apricot Bites – prepping snacks for the week for everyone
- Banana toast – tastes delicious even without nut butter
- Dates + almonds
- Chocolate Mug Cake + PB – I was craving chocolate in a major way but I didn’t want to break from the sugar detox challenge. Made this little concoction that hit the spot – no sugar needed!
Yesterday I had a “You know you’re a blogger when…” moment. I was taking pics of my food when my kiddos asked me to take pics of theirs too. They thought it was hilarious!
A little taste of our Munchkin Meals from yesterday:
- Nutty Nuggets + raisins – They are both all about cereal (hot and cold) lately.
- Egg salad sandwiches (leftover Easter eggs + plain yogurt), grapes and orange peppers
- YoKids yogurt frozen for a cool snack
- My little guy surprises me all the time – snacking on 1/2 a zucchini!
I try to give my kids the same foods that I eat just a variation. For instance, we had Mexican Spaghetti Squash Pie last night for dinner. I knew the kids wouldn’t actually eat a piece of the pie so I served them a deconstructed version – plain spaghetti squash, cottage cheese, black beans and peppers. It works for us because Ron and I tend to like spicy foods which the kiddos don’t tolerate.
What have you been eating lately that you can’t get enough of?
Obviously, I love spinach, eggs and mushrooms!
I’m coming to live with you for a week =) Ha Ha.. seriously though, everything looks delicious. Glad your enjoying coconut water in your smoothies. Have you tried adding 1/2-1 tsp. of xanthan gum for thickening?

I’m in the midst of an April eat your veggies challenge that I’m hoping last far longer than just this month. I need serious help with the veggie consumption. The broccoli slaw egg rolls look (and sound) fantastic!
Can you come over and just make food for me for a week!! Everything looks SOO amazing!! Gotta make those baked broccoli egg rolls!!

So funny- L asked me to take a picture of her food this week, too! ๐ Mmm, everything here looks so good. I’ve been loving eggs, avocados and nut butters.

Lol pacman dates ๐
Love Pink Lady apples. So good. You also reminded me that I like lavash and haven’t picked any up in ages. I love using it for “pita” chips b/c it’s so much lighter and crispier but love the idea of the pizza even more.

I forgot how great lavash is for chips. Need to make asap!
I’m drooling just looking at your pictures! We received a bread maker for Christmas, and our family is loving homemade cinnamon and raisin bread right now. I love bread, so making it at home cuts out all of the processed junk. Plus, the smell of freshly baked bread is wonderful! Our oldest also eats the same food we do, with slight variations when we kick up the spice. This is the way to go. It discourages healthy eating and teaches your little ones to like a variety of foods. Plus, it’s hard enough to get one meal on the table, let alone two separate entrees! My in-laws were astonished when our daughter, two years old at the time, was asking for more cous cous please.

Oops…I meant to say ‘it discourages picky eating.’ It definitely encourages healthy eating. Mommy brain strikes again!

I had a bread maker years ago but never used it. I gave it away but now I’m tempted to buy another.
So cute that they asked you to take photos of their food too!

Yum, your food sounds great ๐ My food lately has been sweet potato, spinach, SunButter and bananas.

Yum!
It all looks so yummy! My kids are addicted to those Yo-kids squeezers. One likes them frozen, and the other two like them plain, so I always have one box in the freezer and one in the fridge. Love that they’re so happy to eat a healthy snack! My current addiction is hummus and taboule – can’t stop eating it!!!
Michelle recently posted..Not What I Wanted To Write About
YUM! Your eats definitely look better than anything I’ve eaten this past week! I’ve been all over the place with food with the holidays and spring break. I LOVE that your kids asked you to take pictures of their food. My kids do to and also of them doing yoga poses. It’s pretty hilarious.

My kids too! Monkey see monkey do, right? ๐
Almond butter! Can’t stop won’t stop!
Oh yes! I agree!
I can never get enough of my protein muffin bites…
Boy your eats look amazing!

Avocado mash or hummus paired with carrots is my go-to snack these days. Can’t get enough!
Lindsay recently posted..what the h wednesday #3: bike tires.
I’ve gone through spurts of loving avocado hummus from Trader Joe’s – so good!
ummm Yum! Can I come stay at your house?? I’m sure my belly and body will be happy from all the tasty food and nutrients ;).

Dinner’s at 6 – come on over!
You are so organized and well-planned with your meals!!
Everything looks amazing!!
Reading this kind of made me want a couple of boiled eggs (maybe because we didn’t have any this past weekend!).
Kim recently posted..200 Minutes of Running – Done!!
Not every week is well planned! There are some days that I scrap all my plans and we have sandwiches or something super simple.
Oh my goodness your meals look soo good! The Thai Peanut Salmon salad sounds do die for! Recipe?

I kind of did my own thing. I’ll try to remember/recreate the recipe soon to get it up on the blog.
Is he seriously just chowing down on raw zucchini?? Amazing!

He’s been shocking me lately. Tonight it was half of a raw red pepper. I had to stop him before he ate the whole pepper!
Everything looks so good!!
Lately I can’t get enough nut butter…any kind! I have a ridiculous amount of jars in our pantry.
Danica @ It’s Progression recently posted..Numbers: Friend or Foe?
No matter what the year, month or day – never can get enough of nut butter of any kind!
I love the idea of serving deconstructed versions of your dinner to the kids. My son often won’t eat casserole type dishes that we love, but likes the individual pieces. Those pieces could be set aside during prep times and save me time during actual mealtimes! Thanks for the great idea ๐
Casey recently posted..Munchkin Meals: 18 months
I love the variety in your foods and that you’re modifying a little for the kids but they are basically getting the same thing. They are so cute!

Lentils are also commonly used in Ethiopia in a stew-like dish called kik, or kik wot, one of the dishes people eat with Ethiopia’s national food, injera flat bread. Yellow lentils are used to make a nonspicy stew, which is one of the first solid foods Ethiopian women feed their babies.-“,;
