WIAW – Snow Day Eats

01/29 by Leigha 28 Comments

Snowcoming 2014
Skinny Greek Yogurt Tuna Salad

It’s my first day back at school in 5 days. Teacher in-service on Friday, and snow days Monday and Tuesday. I’ve been enjoying my time off! Well, at least there’s only 3 days until the weekend. Snow day eats are so much better than on a regular school day since I don’t have to prepare 2 of my 3 daily meals ahead of time. Here is What I Ate Monday!

Breakfast

yummy breakfast

A 2 egg omelet plus a piece of peanut butter banana toast and cottage cheese mixed with homemade jam! <— delish!

Lunch

tuna salad4

2 pitas with some Tuna Salad – it was even better the next day!

pb cookies

I definitely had a cookie or two..

Dinner

crescent bake

My mom tried a new recipe – crescent rolls filled with cream cheese, ground turkey, cheddar, and green chiles. I didn’t think I was going to like it, but it was actually pretty yummy! Some green beans on the side.

green beans and crescent

Aaand more cookies. 

pb cookies2

 It was a pretty balanced day of eats! I’d like to share the cookie recipe, but it’s barely a recipe.. I just like the pictures I took πŸ˜‰ anyway, have a great WIAW and I’ll be having fun drooling over all of your eats!

Did you have a snow day this week?

How many meals a day do you have to pre-make?

    My mouth watered as soon as I looked at the pic of the cookies. And the crescent roll thing looks really good – kind of like a calzone! Have a great day dear!! πŸ™‚

    Girl your eats look amazing! What do you take pictures with? The pictures are amazing!

    Where is that tuna salad from? I love tuna salad so much. I give 10 extra points for it being in a pita pocket!

    Glad to hear you had an extra good day with having so many snow days! I get to work from home if the weather gets bad. Yay for snow!

    I can’t wait for spring though!

    Talk to you soon <3 <3 <3
