Good morning and happy Friday, friends!!
Just wanted to share some tasty eats from my week…
Organic Edamame & Mung Bean Fettuccine (<– obsessed + need to buy more) with arugula and freshly grated Parmesan
Honey Mustard Tuna Salad (recipe below) with rice crackers
Honey Mustard Tuna Salad
Ingredients:
- 1 can (4 oz) tuna, drained
- 1/4 cup shelled edamame
- 2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
- 1 tbsp honey mustard
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- salt + pepper to taste
Directions: Mix together and eat!
Fried eggs on top of butter toast and iced coffee with collagen
Open-Face Tuna Melt using leftover Honey Mustard Tuna Salad and Jarlsberg Cheese
Scallops (one of Nicole‘s top, easy-to-digest sources of protein) with Parmesan Risotto and Steamed Broccoli
Leftovers: Scallops, risotto, and broccoli in half of a baked acorn squash
More eggs and toast! My go-to breakfast lately.
And since I’m on such an egg kick lately, I’m dying to make this Sweet Potato Hash with Poached Eggs. It’s definitely on our menu for next week as well as these Easy Smashed Potatoes!
Wins In the Kitchen Survey
Ok, time for a Friday blog survey! I recently saw this brief interview with Maria Menounos in Health magazine and it looked like a fun one, so here we go!
FINDING INSPIRATION
“Eat food with a healing intent.” After abusing my body last weekend with booze and garbage food (hey, it was an awesome time, but I paid for it), I’m thinking about food a lot differently now.
MOM’S BEST ADVICE
“Two wrongs don’t make a right.”
HEALTHY-EATING MYTH
That healthy eating is black and white. A long-term and realistic way of eating is gray. All gray. It’s okay to eat kale salads and veggie omelets most of the time, but then decide donuts and mac & cheese are what you’re really craving. You can have them and enjoy (!!) them. You don’t need to be perfect to be a healthy eater.
GO-TO INGREDIENTS
Right now, I’m digging nutritional yeast and hummus. Both make just about any dish more delicious and flavorful.
GET-OUT-THE-DOOR SNACK
Bananas! <— funny story. Usually, I’ll throw together a quick peanut butter and banana sandwich or a quickie smoothie with a frozen banana, chopped spinach, protein powder, and soy milk.
