How is it Wednesday again? I feel like I blinked and a month went by. Before I know it, I’ll be graduating! Again. Cray cray.
Breakfast
I’ve been loving my overnight steel cut oats. I use this recipe except I make them plain with half almond milk and half water, and without all the apple cinnamon goodness. Topped with defrosted frozen berries and Justin’s maple almond butter, per usual.
Lunch
I made the tex mex casserole from the Oh She Glows Cookbook and brought some in a thermos to have between classes. It’s definitely tasty, but I honestly think I prefer my super easy Mexican crockpot casserole! I also had sliced peppers with garlic hummus, a sliced pear (switching it up from apples!), and a banana bread protein bar for a snack.
Dinner
Dinner was a high jass salad of leftover wild salmon from The Crest on a bed of spinach with steamed green beans, chopped green onions and avocado caesar dressing.
As I said so eloquently on Insta last night, every good night ends with [dark] chocolate.
LOVE overnight oats! In fact, I think I’ll be whipping some up tonight for tomorrow’s breakfast! 🙂
I’m a half and half oats girl too. Lately I’ve been using coconut water in place of reg water + AM and it’s sex in a bowl.
whoa, genius with the coconut water. oh my my.
i am obsessed with your easy mexican casserole. it is delicious. i just ate it again for lunch. i will go post on that recipe how amazing it is, so the rest of the world knows! i honestly like it better than the broccoli chickpea one, and i love that it’s a fiesta dish that doesn’t give me the sick feeling i often get when i eat mexican food out at restaurants. also, how are the banana bread protein bars? i looked at those yesterday whilst brainstorming what to do with my super ripe nanners. i did freeze a couple for smoothies, but i still have plenty more! obvi hard at my day job over here, searching banana recipes on food blogs. lurve you! happy hump day.
I don’t think the link is working for your banana bread protein bars! Would love the recipe. Also tried looking up your apricot breakfast bars and couldn’t find the recipe. 🙁
Just fixed it! Sorry about that! And here’s the breakfast bar link: http://www.hummusapien.com/coconut-apricot-breakfast-bars/
SALMON SALADS ARE THE BEST SALADS. Also gotta try the defrosted berries… I love how juicy and runny they get (sorry if that sounds gross haha).
The juicy runniness is seriously the best part! Not weird at all 🙂
I’ve never done overnight oats with steel-cut oats. Heading over to check out that recipe. Dark chocolate is a great way to end the day! 😉
You have to try it! Easiest thing ever and SO good topped with berries and almond butter.
Hey, girl…. just wanted to let you know the link to the overnight oats doesn’t seem to be working.
Thanks, Kim! I just checked at the oats link seemed to be working! The banana bread link was not, however 🙂 Try again and let me know if you’re still having trouble.
OMG I love defrosted berries in my oatmeal and yogurt! Lately I have been loving frozen cherries defrosted in Greek yogurt. Oh beautiful breakfasts always make me so happy!
They seriously add the best juiciness! And natural sweetness 🙂 Mmmm frozen cherries sound SO good right now!
I REALLY need to buy some of those dark chocolate bars at TJ’s. Granted I’m always afraid I am just going to eat the whole thing in one sitting…I guess there could be worse things though, right? 😉
I literally just ate half of these new dark chocolate bars from Tj’s that come in a pack of three….they’re so amazing!!!
Justin’s maple AB!! My absolute favourite, and the one I can never find 😥 Breakfast just isn’t the same without it…
I’m gonna send you like 10 containers of maple AB!! You mustn’t be without it my friend!!
I love Justin’s maple!
Best almond buttah on the block!
Your photos are always so gorgeous. Those oats look to die for!
You’re SO sweet! I use my iPhone for the pics 🙂
Oh hai Hummus. As if you post so late, it takes me a good 24 hours to check out your post.
Selfish Alexish.
I take it back. This has been my favourite WIAW post of yours yet- I only spot Hummus. The one form of legumes I can mildly handle. Here’s to an almost perfect day.
Alexish has a nice ring to it. Aren’t you so proud of my shockingly low legume intake on that day?? I mean I was a little shocked about it. I’m currently armed with chickpeas–I have like three cans in the pantry. So don’t get too excited.
YES to ending your day with dark chocolate. Nothing wrong with a mid-day treat, either. Not that I’d know about that….;-)
I love oats for breakfast! I love how you end your day with dark chocolate. Yummy! I usually end my day with chickpea cookies I baked. 😉 Oh, sweet hummus desserts.
That breakfast berry treat looks divine!!! I’m absolutely making that!
