As you’re reading this, there’s probably a few different things happening:
1 – Breakfast with the roomie at our favorite little divey breakfast place – S&W Diner. This has been our birthday place this year, but it seemed fitting for our final morning.
2 – Scurrying around trying to pack any remaining things I realize are mine (I might have been mostly packed by Saturday, but that leaves me a few days to be like “oh wait, that’s mine too!” and find it a home in some box somewhere in that…)
3 – Driving to pick up my Dad at the airport, get our rental mini van, eat a quick lunch and make sure all of my stuff can fit between both vehicles.
4 – I’m an emotional mess having a hard time keeping the tears inside…
5 – And if we’re lucky, I’m not driving through a downpour of my own tears but rather safely making our way out of California and onto the open road for a few days of travel.
Breakfast:
Whole wheat English muffin with peanut butter and mashed banana with some iced coffee and almond milk. A classic.
Lunch:
Some 2% Chobani mango with diced up nectarine and almond granola – with a pretty presentation.
Dinner:
I made one final batch of my Pesto Couscous salad to use the remaining ingredients in my pantry. Just as good as it was before.
As a reminder, I don’t take a picture of everything I eat in a day, but I would like to share that I tried my first Boba tea this week while meeting a friend for a goodbye. I got a chai spiced boba with almond milk – YUM!
And there was a lot of protein muffin consumption this week. I mean when you make Chocolate Banana and Chocolate Pumpkin protein muffins that are amazing, you just can’t help yourself!
What new things have you tried this week?
That parfait looks delicious! And holy yum…I want that boba! I’ve never had one before, but you totally had me at “chai spiced”
HA! “Chai spiced” was what got me too… 😉
hang in there!!!! it will all be ok.
your meals look great. i am a sucker for greek yogurt. and pb + mashed banana! i pine.
I hope your move goes smoothly. Be safe and keep me posted!!
This week, I tried eggs with sundried tomatoes and I’m in love with the flavor! I also added almond extract to my homemade PB and loved that too! 🙂
YUM! I love sundried tomatoes but often forget how much when I’m planning my meals or at the grocery store.
LOVE the flavor sundried tomatoes add to everything!
1. I am definitely going to add that couscous salad to my reperatoire since I am obsessed with chickpeas and have a ton of pesto waiting for me in my fridge in B’more (I think?). Might add some feta to it though.
2. I know your iced coffee was Starbucks but I am in such coffee withdrawal mode that even that almost looks good and definitely reminded me of the real good stuff. Yikes.
3. Safe travels
1 – You should! It’s easy and delicious!
2 – It’s just in a reusable starbucks cup but it’s actually trader joe’s coffee. 😉
3 – THANK YOU!
I’ve never heard of your dinner combo before. Sounds delicious though.
Sadly, I haven’t tried anything new this week :-X.
i could never have iced coffee right in the morning when I wake up! even in summer and tropical heat i need something warm in my tummy 😀
how do you do it? haha
You know, I’m more of a warm coffee girl too but after I was in NYC and Boston earlier this summer, I haven’t really wanted anything other than iced coffee.
