Intuitive Eats

Pumpernickel Rye Bread and Planting the Garden!
Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Hello and happy WIAW! I’ve got a great day of eats to share from yesterday – let’s get started! I’m feeling like I can tell what my body is craving and I’m honoring it. Three cheers for intuitive eating!

Breakfast

summer breakfast

green smoothie + a few slices of homemade pumpernickel rye (recipe coming soon!) with peanut butter and guac + a little fruit + a kitty in the background πŸ˜‰

pumpernickel peanut butter

And another little slice because it sounded good.

Then I went on a bike ride with my friend Taylor! I’d say we did at least 10 miles.

Then I came home to pack up my room since we are moving. I. Hate. Packing.

Lunch

egg,apple,kale

pumpernickel bread + guac + farm fresh egg, an apple, some kale + mushrooms

moms panini

a bite of Mom’s panini with pesto, mozzarella, and tomato

moonpie

and a moonpie that Taylor gave me πŸ™‚

Snacks

pizza + black beans

a slice of leftover pizza (homemade! (recipe coming soon)) topped with black beans? it worked.

roasted asparagus

I felt like roasting some asparagus so I did. I had a couple stalks.

peanut butter brownies

And then I made peanut butter brownies (made from last FPP!) for a bonfire I was going to later!

Dinner

pizzaaaaa

pizzapizzapizza <3 I think this plate x 3. then some of the brownies I made.

yellow watermelon

Then we all watched an outdoor movie! The Call. It was kind of scary, not gonna lie. Not like thriller, but suspense!

I got home a little after midnight. Later than I’d usually like, but it’s okay once in awhile! I had a great night with my friends πŸ™‚

Do you try to eat intuitively?

Do you like scary movies?

Have you seen The Call?

    All of your meals look great and knowing you went with your intuition the whole time? Even better. It’s what I’m striving for, too, and while I’m not yet there I feel every time I ‘get’ it the food tastes even better – even if that sounds odd saying it.
    A bonfire? Aaah, it’s been too long for me. Scary movies, however? Noooo way. More like: I’m a scaredy cat and won’t even come close to those movies. When I have girls’ nights with my friends we always watch romantic ones and when out with previous boyfriends they at least had to let me pick a funny one.

      I know what you mean! Eating exactly what you’re craving tastes so good!
      I love bonfires! I could just sit at one every night πŸ™‚ I used to hate scary movies – nightmares! But now I can pretty much watch anything! (except for The Hauning in Connecticut… that gave me nightmares for months!)

    Aaah such a fun day! I’m totally with you on Intuitive eating.. let’s make that 6 cheers πŸ™‚ . It has done wonders for my mental state ever since honouring hunger and cravings. Oh on the topic of cravings: you’ve got me craving peanut butter brownies, and the only answer would be whipping up a batch myself. booh, bummer!
    Scary movies..hmmm, it depends – on my mood, the day, the movie of course. I find ORPHAN to be the most scariest I can tolerate .. does that make me a chicken?

      Yes! It definitely helps my mental state!
      I loved Orphan! Something about movies with kids makes them even scarier. Even though she technically wasn’t a kid, lol!

    Intuitive eating is so freeing and ugh I’m so proud of you! Your eats look amazing. Especially that crunchy pb, can you say YUM? I went biking with some friends the other day, and I’d forgotten how insanely fun it is. So is yellow watermelon. I feel so trendy whenever I eat it. And an outdoor movie? That’s brilliant. My swim team is really into suspense/scary movies, so I’ve seen The Call and nearly every other scary movie in the books. Not my cup of tea, but the bonding is always fun! The next month or so I’m going to be travelling loads, so I won’t have any time to bake, so I’m quite jealous of all those swoon worthy recipes coming up! That being said, I can’t wait to pin them and add them to my never ending ‘To Bake’ list!

      I’m super jealous of your travelling! You better post about it! πŸ˜‰ and yes – being active with friends is SO much fun! Even better than when you’re alone. You don’t even realize you’re exercising!

      Exactly! Some days I want dessert for every meal, sometimes I don’t want it at all. It all balances out! πŸ™‚

    I HATED THE CALL!!! I snuck in with friends (since I wasn’t 17 yet!) and I totally regretted it. Scary movies and I don’t mix. What bothered me was that it was more creepy and wrong than jump out at you scary.

    Where did you get yellow watermelon? I want to try some!! πŸ™‚

    Good luck breaking the record! I know you will. And then you will have a well deserved break (;
