In case you’re new here: since I only share dinner meals in my Friday “What I Spent, What We Ate” posts, I share occasional roundups of some breakfast and lunch meals. Today is one of those days!
Breakfasts
Carrot oats, cottage cheese, and an orange:
I’ve also been making overnight oats for work breakfasts, but I have no photos for some reason. I know some of you asked for my method, but I’m still kinda tweaking it, and once I have it the way I want, I’ll share!
Eggs, a pear, and a toasted slice of the Aldi version of Dave’s Killer Bread. Not very colorful, but it got the job done!
Eggs, mashed potatoes, sauteed broccoli, and a pear. What can I say? I really needed to use up some broccoli!
This one is fried eggs on a toasted leftover Panera baguette (because why do you need a baguette as a side when you’ve ordered a sandwich??), topped with cilantro sauce.
Lunches
Tuna melt, using a whole can of tuna (25 grams of protein!), plus some cucumbers.
Here is what happens when your cat smells a tuna melt cooking:
Kale salad with sauteed shrimp, oranges, popped chips, cottage cheese, and nerds clusters.
A chicken salad made with a Thai mango salad kit (I just cook chicken and add it to the mix!), plus popcorn, grapes, and nerds clusters.
Ham sandwich, oranges, popped chips, nerds clusters.
A chicken salad lunch with grapes and popcorn.
Chicken gnocchi soup, with popped chips, peppers dipped in cilantro sauce, plus grapes and chocolate.
A meatless lunch: cottage cheese and fruit, grapes, popcorn, nerds clusters (ha) and a homemade chia seed drink.
Leftover bourbon chicken, broccoli, and rice.
Leftover Marry Me Chickpeas (There are lots of recipes on the web; I loosely follow the basic idea!), cottage cheese, popped chips, and oranges.
A chicken salad (yep, again!), popped chips, and oranges.
Ok! We’ve run through my whole collection; clearly I need to do a better job of photographing my breakfasts. I’ll improve next time around. 😉
What have you been eating lately for breakfast and lunch? And what is your opinion of Nerds gummy clusters?
(I’m usually a chocolate kinda girl, but for some reason I doooo like this candy!)
P.S. Last time I did this, someone asked if I eat snacks. Here’s my answer.
