WIAW: Sensible Snacking in June

June 6, 2012 at 9:31 pm

Happy Hump Day!

A new goal I’m adding to my June goal list is to participate in WIAW every week this month. :) I’m hoping it’ll keep me much more accountable for my eats, especially switching it up because I am absolutely a creature of habit. This month’s theme is sensible snacking!

8:30 am: Breakfast

Breakfast was my usual overnight oats. I’m not too adventurous with my breakfasts, sadly. Occasionally, I’ll try something different and like it, but the oats are just so easy to make and so delicious! Ah well. I do change it up on the weekends though. :)

I enjoyed them with a big blob of Peanut Butter & Co’s Mighty Maple. I finished off the jar today so I get to have overnight oats in a jar for breakfast and start my new jar of sunbutter tomorrow!

11 am: Snack

I brought some pineapple chunks to work today! They’re so delicious. It’s like eating candy, which I don’t mind one bit. :D

1:30 pm: Lunch

For lunch today, I had another awesome salad from my building’s cafeteria. I’ve been loving their healthier choices lately! They’ve had a lot of beans, quinoa, barley, and other grains, which I love throwing on top of my salad.

Today I went for spinach and romaine with some tofu, roasted sweet potatoes, grilled chicken, mediterranean-style orzo, and spicy feta. Yum! I also had a few more pineapple chunks for dessert.

2 pm: Tea and snack

I decided to try some of my friend Angela’s loose tea around lunchtime. She got it in Switzerland! Neither of us could read the package, so I have no idea what was in it, but it was good! Really fruity, but also a bit tart. Perfect with some agave. :)

I also finished off my pineapple chunks a little later, around 5 pm or so.

8 pm: Dinner

I just bought a new package of Al Fresco Buffalo Style Chicken Sausage, which I haven’t tried yet. I was so excited to today! I was in the mood for something lemony and had half a bunch of broccoli left over from the other night, so I threw this together.

I started out cooking my penne in a pot on the stove, while also chopping up half a chicken sausage and microwaving it. When the pasta was almost done, I threw in my broccoli and let it boil with the pasta. Then I just drained it all and threw it into a bowl along with the chicken sausage, a little bit of olive oil and lemon juice, and some grated parmesan cheese. So good and easy! I’ll be making this one again.

So overall, a pretty good eating day! Though my snacking wasn’t so sensible… I should work on that. Have a nice night!
