With an increase in my running over the past few weeks, my appetite has definitely skyrocketed, making me want to eat all of the food, and have actually been craving different foods, but maybe that correlates to the weather change that occurred over the weekend.
Fall is here, which means my favorite summery meals are being replaced by some of my favorite fall meals and snacks. So for this week’s edition of Jenn’s What I Ate Wednesday, let’s take a look at some of my favorite things I have eaten over the last few days.
Oatmeal is officially back into my weekend menu. Oatmeal probably won’t be a food that I eat during the work week, mainly because some days it just doesn’t fill me up, and when I’m at work, it’s important that I eat meals that will keep me satisfied for long periods of time. It is however, the perfect breakfast to enjoy on a chilly Saturday morning before a training run.
I’m also loving on Fuel for Fires both as an afternoon snack and after a workout where I don’t have a protein shake on hand. Remember, if you haven’t already entered the giveaway for a 4-pack of Fuel for Fires, head over to yesterday’s post to enter the giveaway!
My go to lunch again is chicken kebabs with green beans. I am on a serious green bean kick. Like, need all the green beans in my life. Could be worse things!
The other lunch I’m addicted to… turkey wraps. I use Applegate Farms turkey, throw in a little salad mix and mustard, and wrap it in a Joseph’s wrap.
Most people I know enjoy eggs for breakfast, but I’ve been the odd one who enjoys eggs at dinner time. Breakfast foods are my absolute favorite, and enjoying a cheesy veggie omelet is one of my new favorite ways to celebrate surviving another work day. Cheese solves everything. Amiright?!
The other day we had fresh strawberries in the house, which meant topping my peanut butter greek yogurt with diced up berries. So delish! Any combo of peanut butter and berries is a solid win in my book.
Another snack favorite, heated frozen blueberries topped with warmed natural peanut butter. Warmed berries + melted peanut butter = fabulousness.
Favorite snack or meal of the week?
Have you jumped into baking with pumpkin yet?
No pumpkin yet. I’m really struggling with accepting fall this year. Although I am eating a big bowl of chili right now…
Favorite snack of the week? I’ve been making protein chocolate mug cakes again and loving them. Basically a good chocolate protein shake made in cupcake form. Much better on chilly nights!
Haha chili is one thing that I’m not ready for yet.. Although it is perfect football food!
That peanut butter and blueberries pic looks really artsy for some reason 🙂 Great eats, girl, I love reading yours every week!
Thanks girl! I’m trying to be better with good pictures!
Those warm berries are making me drooooL! 🙂 And oh man, my appetite would be crazyyy when I was training for my half. Embrace it! 😉
Haha embrace it I will! It’s funny because my cousin just texted me saying the warner berries look and sound gross haha
Of course cheese makes everything better! And having a cheesy omelette for dinner can make a girl so so happy 😉 I have been loving as a snack lately dates and PB…a classic I just can’t get enough!
Dates and pb I MUST try soon!!! Thanks for that fun idea! 🙂
oooooo i’ve never thought of heating up berries and adding peanut butter! I’m going to have to try that soon!
It’s even better with mangoes. The best frozen to warm combo ever!
My favourite snack of the week has been oatmeal and PB! the melted PB makes allll the difference. i’ve never tried PB and blueberries before! sounds good though
Oatmeal with melted pb is my FAVORITE way to eat oatmeal. I had that for breakfast actually!!
Can never give up peanut butter!
Never ever ever!
I may be the only person on earth who doesn’t like pumpkin!! I love oatmeal, but it’s a little too heavy for me before a run. I prefer an english muffin with almond butter!
Oooo that sounds like a great pre-run meal! I’m very picky with pumpkin and only like it cooked/used certain ways
I still can’t get over the pb and blueberry thing
Hahaha you’re too funny 🙂
