Happy What I Ate Wednesday, everyone!
I had a track meet yesterday which = boring eats (but I did break 12 minutes in the 2 mile!!!), so here are my eats from Monday! It was also Cinco de Mayo, and of course I forgot to make anything festive.. figures. I even remember last year specifically planning to make something! Anyway, here are my eats π
Breakfast
The usual breakfast of overnight oats with the only change being sunbutter instead of peanut butter. I was kind of iffy about sunbutter, but after trying it in my oats I’m hooked. Yum.
Lunch
On Sunday I made a batch of Pinch of Yum’s Crockpot Sweet Potato Lentils for some easy lunches/dinners during the week. Anything by them is always amazing, and these were no exception! So flavorful! An apple and kale on the side.
Snack
Before track I had a Kind bar. Lovelovelove this flavor. Actually, I haven’t found a flavor I don’t like yet.
I did 2 easy miles at track then walked a mile home because I didn’t have a ride. #freshmanprobs haha! I had my piano lesson and when I got home this was on my counter.
Homemade bread from Kelvin! On the left is Swedish rye and the right is honey wheat. I’m going to pick the one I like more and we are going to make it like when we made homemade pies!
Dinner
I took advantage of the bread and used the rye for dinner, which was spot on.
I cooked some pesto salmon in the toaster oven which worked like a charm. Then I had half a sweet potato with cottage cheese and cinnamon, and some tuna salad + avocado + onion that mom made on the bread. Ahhh-mazing.
Dessert
Before bed I had the other kind of bread (honey wheat) with peanut butter and banana. You didn’t think I wasn’t going to try both flavors?! I think I want to make the Swedish rye, but I better eat some more just to be sure π
I’m off to school, have a happy hump day!
Are you a fan of overnight oats?
Do you food prep for easy meals during the week?
Have you ever made your own bread?
yummy at the min im hooked on blackberries with my overnigh toats its amazing! π
*overnight oats
Oooh that would be super yummy π I haven’t had blackberries in forever!
we pick them and freeze them in big bags so i discovered them in the frezer! π
I had a bad experience with overnight oats and now I am terrified to make them again! I literally need someone to give me step-by-step instructions so that I don’t mess them up again. π Everyones (and yours!) always look delicious so I need to figure this out STAT. π

what was your bad experience? (lol im nosey :P) uhm basically with overnight oats you layer your oats,milk,seed and yogurt the rest you leave till the morning as bananas and fruit can go mushy overnight hope this helps π
I linked to my recipe that I use! Oh, you must try them! My first experience wasn’t great either, but just try again! You will convert to an overnight oats girl π
MHmmm yes to kind bars! I’m a big fan :). And GIRL. You’re kidding me! Breaking 12 minutes for TWO miles? I’m on my knees bowing down to you haha. You’re a beast! On another note, isn’t freshly baked bread the best?! I usually only have it when my Aunt makes it, but the taste is seriously awesome :).

Hehe thanks girl π but yes! It was my first time having fresh, homemade bread and it is SO much better than from the store!
I can’t believe you can run 2 miles in 12 minutes. That’s like one mile for me π All these eats look delicious!!

Happy Wednesday!

So much better than regular bread from the store! Happy Wednesday to you too π
you ever made soda bread? sooooo quick nd easy and delicious π
Nope, I’ve never even tasted it before!
Its an irish thing π im not irish im English but when I moved here we learnt all of that sort of stuff! I should send you the recipe π
I have tired overnight oats before but didn’t like them. I’m wanting to give them another try though! I love homemade bread! It is infinitely better than store bought!

Give them another try! I’m not a huge fan of them cold, but if you microwave them they are ahhhmazing π
BIG fan of overnight oats! Had some this morning!

Me too π such an easy breakfast!
Home made bread is amazing! So jealous. I’ve been wanting to try sun butter! I really need to pick some up at the store. Everything looks delish, girlie!

Definitely try some! It’s not peanut butter-y but it’s a nice flavor change.
AHHHH!!!! I can’t believe you broke 12:00, that is SO COOL!! All your hard work this season is really paying off!!! π

I know!! I’m so incredibly happy π Hope you’re doing well! <3
While the food in this post is certainly nothing to scoff at, are you saying you ran 2 miles in under 12 minutes? Holy crap; that is fast. I am super impressed. I’d be lucky to run a 9 minute mile.
Coming home to homemade bread might be one of the best endings to an otherwise good day. I say you recreate both. π
I never imagined I’d be able to run that fast.. I guess you can do anything if you don’t give up and train hard! π
Girl! I am so glad that you checked out my blog and left a comment because now I love reading yours too! Homemade bread is the best – I haven’t made it a lot recently but since my husband and I just moved back in with my parents I think I’m going to have to put their bread maker to work! (I don’t have a bread maker and it just makes the whole bread making process so much easier!) When you try out that Swedish Rye I’d LOVE the recipe!

Wait.. you like reading MY blog?! I’m honored, lol! I will definitely get you the recipe once we make it! π
First of all thank you for your comment on my WIAW even though you don’t speak German^^
I really like your WIAW especially the oatmeal. I’m a huge fan of overnight oats and nutbutter. But never tried sunbutter yet.

Sunbutter is really tasty! Do they have it in Germany?
Confession: I miiiight like sunflower seed butter more than peanut butter in my overnight oats. It’s so dang good! And I don’t think I even need to tell you how I feel about overnight oats. π
Those sweet potato lentils look amazing!
We used to have one of those fancy bread makers a long time ago, but I’ve yet to make homemade {yeasty} bread. I think I want to some day though!

I like peanut butter more right now since I use crunchy and my sunbutter is creamy, but if the sunbutter was crunchy I would toootally like it more too π It just melts to beautifully! Hahaha I like the fact that we are discussing nut butter/oatmeal combos π
There was a stage not too long ago where I was utterly hooked on overnight oats..if not for breakfast, then dinner π . I think the over-obsession drove me off it!? But being exposed to it so often at Alison’s and now you..I am contemplating a reappearance. When I do have it; cold from the fridge for me!
I commend you on meal prepping girl! I just can’t..anything beyond a sandwich/scrambled eggs is intimidating. Thank heavens for Mum’s cooking to fall back on when I’m craving chicken or a lentil dish <3.
Oh sunflower seed butter! It -just- made an appearance at a store in my parts, and after squealing in excitement I nearly dropped dead at the price; equivalent to the lovely sports bra(!) I bought the other day. I know sooner or later I'm going to cave in..but tell me – is it worth it?!?
I’ve been having overnight oats every morning for maybe 6 months now? I’m not sick of them yet!
As for sunbutter, I don’t think you should spend a fortune. It’s good, but maybe not change your life good!
whats cookie butter? π
I’m not exactly sure.. but I’ve heard lots of good things about it!
