Halfway through the work week… I could totally get used to having 3 day weekends! Since today is Wednesday, I of course want to celebrate What I Ate Wednesday. Before food pictures, I need to tell you that I’ve decided to take 1 week off from peanut butter. I feel like I’ve hit a plateau the past few weeks, and I’m ready to challenge myself in new ways… aka giving up the heavenly pb. My goal is to find a few new snacks that are just as fun instead of my go-to peanut butter english muffin, along with seeing how my body responds to no peanut butter. I know I won’t notice a huge difference in one week, but it’s only 7 days, so challenge accepted!
{{Update: I have gone 1 day without peanut butter with ease and no crazy Allie moments occurred.}}
Moving on, here are some of my favorite meals and snacks from yesterday!
Lunch yesterday was ground turkey sautéed with asparagus, squash and mixed with a little bit of A1 sauce.
With a side of cinnamon sugar toast. I made the topping with ground cinnamon and Truvia (sweetener packet). Tastes just like the cinnamon sugar in a packaged bottle! SO GOOD!
Dinner last night was a cheeseburger in a bowl. Oh. My. Gosh.
Cheeseburger In A Bowl
- 96/4 beef
- 2 cups of spinach
- 84 grams of squash
- Mixed in 1/4 cup shredded cheese once it was finished
- Topped with 2 chopped pickles and a squirt of ketchup.
Make this. Right now!
I tried this Pure Protein Chewy Chocolate Chip bar for a snack yesterday, and it legit tasted like I was eating cookie dough. This is my newest addiction.
And dessert before bed was 2 slices of toast; 1 topped with cinnamon sugar and the other with Honey Pecan cream cheese, with a side of watermelon and cantaloupe! Eaten on the back deck because eating outside > eating inside.
What’s your favorite topping for toast?
JAM! And peanut butter.
Do you like cheeseburgers?
