Monday Munchies, Part 17

Note: I am currently traveling and may not be able to immediately respond to emails, etc. Thanks for your patience!

This post is a continuation of the Monday Munchies series where I show everything I eat over the course of single day. These eats took place on a Friday about a week ago when I had a full day of clients. Check it:

Breakfast, 7:30 am:

In the bowl: Chobani 2% passionfruit yogurt, 1/4 peach, small banana, frozen blueberries, Barbara’s squares. Mug of half-regular, half-decaf coffee with frothed milk and cinnamon.

I saw clients all morning, pausing only to gobble lunch in about 5 minutes flat (so much for enjoying a slow meal!).

Lunch, 12:15 pm:

Sharp cheddar on whole grain bread with tangy mustard and fresh dill.

I nibbled on mini bell peppers between afternoon clients:

By the end of the day, I was happy to enjoy a Peter-cooked dinner, prepared using his new favorite kitchen appliance: a pressure-cooker.

Dinner, 6:30 pm:

Pork carnitas with scamorza, caramelized onions, cilantro, and lime juice, wrapped in a fresh corn tortilla. Served with spaghetti squash and roasted tomatoes (prepared for a Strawberry Fields sample – you may have seen a preview on THIH’s Facebook page) and a glass of skim milk.

Finished with a Peter-made hand-dipped ganache truffle.

Overall, a delicious day!  I’m not a fan of scarfing down meals like I did my lunch; fortunately, that situation doesn’t happen too often. In retrospect, I may have preferred eating my lunch in installments instead of all at once. Ah, the wisdom of hindsight.

Have a great week, dear reader!

Q: Have you ever had to eat fast due to lack of time? How did you feel afterward?

Monday Munchies, Part 12

Ω December 3rd, 2012 Ω Tagged , , , , , Ω 9 Comments

Okay, I lied last week: I’m still calling my weekly feature of what this RD eat over the course of a single day Monday Munchies. The alliteration is too good to pass up.

Thus, I present to you: everything I ate yesterday.

Breakfast, 8:30 am:

In the mix: A combination of Trader Joe’s nonfat Greek yogurt, Noosa honey yoghurt, and Chobani passionfruit yogurt (a combination which sounds really weird and not all that tasty – and you would be right), topped with a sliced banana, fresh blackberries, dried goji berries, dried apricots, Barbara squares, and peanut butter. Unpictured: hot Yorkshire Gold tea with skim milk.

Lunch, 12 pm, after a glorious walk with Peter and dogs in the unusually warm Illinois weather:

Leftover pizza from Friday’s dinner party, a bit of omelet from Golden Harbor, and a salad dressed in olives and bell peppers.

Dinner, 6:30 pm:

I was so busy with a project, I completely forgot to have an afternoon snack. No biggie. When I came downstairs, this was waiting for me:

As I mentioned yesterday, Peter made gumbo from scratch, including a homemade roux that took 30 minutes of continuous stirring. That gorgeous deep brown color? That’s flour, oil, and water. The flavor? Incredible. Rich and slightly earthy, with a thickness that comes only from a perfect roux. Served with the last of our whole grain rolls from this dinner party (frozen and reheated).

For dessert, I savored a slice of Peter’s famous apple pie with homemade ice cream.

Okay, I take it back: I want Peter as my companion in the wilderness instead of my sister Courtney. Sorry, C.

Happy Monday!

Q: Have you ever made gumbo? What’s your favorite kind of soup?
