Hello and happy Friday!
Mal, Murphy, and I are off to Maine today to visit our long lost friends, Dave and Marie. Remember them? We’ve been trying to coordinate a get-together for several months now, but our busy schedules always got in the way, so we are pumped we finally found a weekend that worked for all of us. Dave and Marie have some fun stuff on the agenda for this weekend! I can’t wait!
I’ve been snapping pics of my food here and there over the past week or so, so here’s the next edition of My Eats Lately!
Green juice. Lots of it. This coconut-kale-ginger juice recipe was on Health the other day, and it’s one of my favorites. Additionally, I’ve been enjoying my Everyday Green Juice.
Grilled turkey burger with coconut oil-sautéed spinach with horseradish mustard. This meal was so delicious, I actually stopped, mid-bite, to snap a photo. It needed to be documented. I don’t know if it was the combination of flavors or maybe I was super hungry, but it was sooooooo good.
Honey ham, white cheddar Laughing Cow cheese, and horseradish mustard lettuce wraps. Ever since Cabo, I’ve been really loving lettuce wraps. They’re so easy! Get some meat, cheese, veggies, condiments… and you’re good to go!
Coconut-Baked Carrots with Figs. I already blogged about this recipe, but, eaten as a side dish, the leftovers lasted a long time. It look me a good 4 or 5 days to eat them all.
Skillet Sweet Potato Hash with broccoli, onions, and ground beef. Instead of the usual Skillet Sweet Potato Hash that I make with spinach and ground turkey, I switched up the ingredients with broccoli and onions. I made a huge batch and then Mal and I ate it for two dinners and at least one lunch this past week.
Whole Foods salad bar. Whole Foods is two minutes away, and I’m lazy.
Gluten-free Mint Chocolate Chip Bars. They’re also egg-free and turned out so well! I mean, mint and chocolate together? Forget about it. The recipe will be on Health next week!
No-Bake Almond Joy Cookies. I’ve mentioned these before, right? Umm, yea. I’ve made them at least a half dozen times since I first posted the recipe. I can’t get enough of them!
Apple-Pumpkin Garbanzo Bean Toast with almond butter. Remember this recipe for garbanzo bean bread? Well, I added apple sauce, canned pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice to it for some sweetness. I didn’t measure anything, so I don’t have a recipe, but it turned out really well, so I’ll definitely make it again and share the recipe with all of you.
Sliced banana with blueberries and almond butter. Easiest breakfast ever.
Mashed parsnips and carrots with ground turkey and chopped spinach. This meal was a “refrigerator surprise” and made with a bunch of random leftovers, but it ended up tasting delicious all mixed together.
Cauliflower “rice” with roasted Brussels sprouts and ground beef. I wish this photo was better because it definitely does not do this meal justice. It was so frickin’ good! Here’s a recipe for cauliflower “rice” if you’re interested.
Raw Coconut Nectar. I stumbled upon this fun, new product just yesterday. I used it in some baking last night since I ran out of maple syrup, and it added a wonderful sweetness to my chocolate chip cookies. A little bit definitely goes a long way! This stuff is sweet!

Questions of the Day
What have you been eating lately?
What are you up to this weekend?
P.S. Nikki’s Coconut Butter is celebrating their one-year anniversary with a special sale. Get 10% off all orders of two jars or more with code ‘oneyear.’ I just ordered a couple more jars because I ate 4 jars in a month by myself. No big deal.
