Hey lovebugs!!
Hope you’re having an incredible week 😀
I am working my last night shift tonight and then I’m off for 4 days! I can’t wait!!
Who’s participating in What I Ate Wednesday?? I am!! Holla Jen!!
Breakfast:
To say that I am only slightly obsessed with Ashley’s banana cornbread bake would be an understatement. I’ve eaten it 5 days in a row now!! It is that good. Oatmeal who?
Topped with a layer of homemade vanilla pecan butter. Can’t.get.enough. This keeps me full for like 4.5 hrs! Supreme.
Snack:
Huge bowl of cantaloupe. Soo fresh and delicious.
Lunch:
My dad was in the city yesterday (awesome!!) and my mom had sent along some quinoa salad for me! She knows me soo well 🙂
Baby romaine, quinoa salad, chickpeas, avocado and a big blob of hummus. I’m DEFINITELY going to have this again today 😉
Snack:
I made another batch of vanilla macaroons for my parents. Not before sneaking a couple for me though. Duh.
I love these blond bad boys. They’re slightly crunchy on the outside, soft and yummy on the inside.
x3
Dinner:
Was taken to work so please excuse the fancy shmancy bowls.
Kale salad massaged with a dressing of oil, vinegar, lime juice, garlic, cumin and salt, chopped pickles, green peppers and hemp hearts.
I ❤ massaged kale.
Insert 3 brown rice cakes and a ton of hummus.
Snack:
Because I work 12 hr shifts I make sure to bring tons of food so I don’t starve! I try to eat something every 2-3 hrs to keep my belly happy and to keep me awake 😀
Grapes
Banana
Appple
Orange
with some more vanilla pecan nut butter for dippage
Breakfast:
One good thing about working a night shift is the opportunity to have breakfast again! I love having the x2.
This may not look like much now, but after 4 minutes in the microwave it turns into an quinoa apple pie ish breakfast delight.
It’s Leanne’s 5 minute Apple Quinoa Flake Bake and you should make it now! Tastes amazing and seriously takes only 5 minutes. Winning!
That’s about does it! I’m off for a quick run and then it’s back to work!!
Love & hugs,
Paije xoxo
Qs: Tell me something you ate yesterday!

I’ve been meaning to try some of those breakfast bakes. I think the beauty of that cornbread bake has just confirmed it x100. You also reminded me I need KALE. It’s been a while since I’ve bought it!
I JUST finished eating some buffalo tuna salad over broccoli. Mm.
