Food Inspiration for YOU!
Hi guys! I haven’t shared a meal / snack inspiration post in a while. Here are some foods I’ve been enjoying lately. I hope something in here will give you an idea that resonates with your tastebuds!
Breakfast
I made these PB & J breakfast cookies that I was SO excited about sharing on the blog but…while they came out looking awesome, the taste wasn’t peanut butter-y enough. Gonna keep working on the recipe before I share it. I had a couple of these guys for breakfast some days.
coconut flour + graham cracker pancake I shared yesterday.
Same pancake above, but I topped it with a leftover peanut butter cookie. My fullness cue kicked in 3/4ths of the way through eating this, so I saved the rest for a snack later in the day.
french toast with 2 nut butters, blueberries, banana + iced vanilla latte.
Lunch
BBQ sliced brisket sandwich + baked beans for an early Father’s Day lunch with my dad.
I had been craving a grain salad, so I made a farro salad Monday. This is what I did.
Mix cooked farro with spinach, tomatoes, and avocado. And add in a bunch of Trader Joe’s everything bagel seasoning.
Mix it all together with lime juice + olive oil. And done. Super easy.
I topped mine with some sardines.
Another day I served it with cottage cheese + berries.
Dinner
Ground turkey enchiladas! Super easy. Just brown some ground turkey, add in a can of salsa + cheese, then wrap the filling up in tortillas and bake. Done. Served with chips + guac.
My favorite dinner of the week was one Andrew made: cheesy omelets + french fries.
Another night I made us salmon + caprese salad (except I forgot basil at the store…LAME) + roasted brussels + BBQ potato chips.
Snacks
Small batch peanut butter M&M cookies (I shared the recipe on Stories!)
I haven’t been a candy person since I was like 10 years old, but sweet + gummy things have been sounding good lately.
Gatorade. A lot of times in pregnancy I’ve found myself feeling depleted and thirsty…gatorade to the rescue. Sometimes I mix it with water and sometimes I drink it straight. Depends on what my tastebuds are feeling.
decaf vanilla latte
trail mix! I’m having a moment with raisins.
chocolate covered almonds + strawberries
Hope you can pull some inspiration for your meals from here :)
What was the most satisfying thing you ate this week? Mine had to be the omelet + french fry dinner Andrew made. I was tired after work and it was so nice to come home to that!
It’s too bad those PB&J cookies didn’t turn out the best – they look so good!
I had cravings for Sour Patch Kids in pregnancy. I probably hadn’t had any for at least five years before that! It must be a thing.
Hm, most satisfying thing I ate this week–definitely a warm chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven made by my husband! It was store-bought dough, but still–somehow things taste so much better when someone else makes them. :)
All of this looks so good! It’s really hard to choose my most satisfying food this week, but this morning’s Chick-fil-a original biscuit tops the list along with the pork tenderloin with wine reduction that I made earlier this week. :)
Oooo omelettes and french fries sounds perfect. My favorite meal I made at home this week was also breakfast for dinner — avocado toast with thick cut bacon, sunny side up eggs, and sriracha. Mmmmmmm.
Craving pb cookies now!!
Favorite meal of the week was my Amy’s frozen meal – cheese enchilada, beans, and corn. Just love that one!
Pan fried tofu and sweet potatoes made like Cait’s Plate does is a close second only because there was no cheese involved.
Thanks for the inspiration – love these posts!
Thanks for the ideas! <3
The farro salad idea is excellent! I think my favorite meal this week was a potato curry and side salad from Whole Foods. I followed with a fudge-filled cookie. :)
Those almonds from Trader Joe’s are hands down my favorite product !!! So good. Salty and sweet and crunchy and wonderful.
I loved those cookies on your story! Sometimes you just wanna make a small batch of something..like mug cakes/brownies/cookies. Love those! I also love french toast loaded with berries and whipped cream..yum
love the meal inspo! Helps me a lot!
