Yo yo yooooooo my fabulous foodies! Time for another edition of me rambling on about what I ate. I have finals this week meaning I’m super duper busy meaning I apologize ahead of time if I’m a tad distant. Duty calls!
Breakfast
Mmm mm mmmmm. I boiled a cup of steel-cut oats, 4 cups of water, 1/4 cup ground flaxseed, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp cinnamon and simmered the mixture on medium low for about 40 minutes. Now I can have yummy steel-cut oats for breakfast for the next three days haaayyyyy! I topped mine with almond butter and berries, duh. I finally restocked on Justin’s maple almond butter so there will most definitely be a huge blob of that on tomorrow’s oats.
Lunch
I was feeling lazy and only had 15 minutes to eat, so I nuked a sweet potato that I had roasted the other day and topped it with half a pack of Tasty Bite’s spinach dal. It was SO delish. What isn’t good on top of a roasted sweet potato?? I also had some carrots and guacamole on the side.
Aaaaaand a cranberry chocolate chia cookie that I’m beyond obsessed with. Texture, flavor, chocolate…it’s all there. This is by far my favorite Simple Truth recipe that I’ve created thus far. I’m seriously DYING to share this one with you guys. Like they’re from another planet. In due time…
I got home from class, studying and grocery shopping and was beyond starving. I had some Finn crisps with hummus and then a sliced honey crisp apple with more maple almond butter.
Dinner
Dinner was kind of boring due to the lack of time allotted to yummy meals during finals week. Salmon, green beans and brown rice (all seasoned with salt, garlic powder and buttah) is my go-to when I’m feeling uninventive.
I had a serious case of the bedtime munchies, so I snacked on a bowl of brown rice krispies with almond milk an hour later. Typical.
Then I topped off the night with a couple of Justin’s dark chocolate peanut butter cups, AKA heaven on earth. I was only planning on having one, but Danny thought they were too salty so I ended up eating both (which is secretly what I hoped would happen).
Tell me, what was the best thing you ate today?
Ahh, Justin’s, how I love thee. I am seriously beyond obsessed with their maple AB! Like..gotta have it! And I can’t wait for that cookie recipe. They pretty much sound divine!

Looks like some delicious eats despite being busy! It’s so true – everything (generally…) tastes good on top of sweet potato.

Um those dark chocolate peanut butter cups look amazing! Also, at first I thought “buttah” was some cool exotic spice until I realized you meant butter haha. Unless it really is some cool exotic spice, then by all means tell me where I can find it! haha

where do you get your almond butter and how much is it? the cheapest i can find is 6 dollars at kroger haha….also, the sweet potato looked good.
I use get the raw creamy almond butter from Trader Joe’s, which is an unbeatable price of $4.99. But they’ve been running out of it left and right, so I’ve been treating myself to Justin’s maple almond butter, which I either buy at Kroger or Whole Foods. Giant Eagle Market District has it as well. It usually costs $9.99, but it tastes AMAZING.

I finally tried the Justin’s PB cups when they had the individually wrapped ones on sale at Whole Foods around Halloween and I loved ’em–way better than Reese’s!
I will put almost anything on a sweet potato. Today for lunch I had one topped with PB and hemp seeds, yum!

Just taught us with things we can’t have why don’t you. Those cookies look so good- and to rub it in further you show such a close up shot?
I’ll need to try out this infamous Justin’s products! Best thing I’ve eaten recently was (lol I wish I was kidding) but grilled prawns after seeing your picture! It was at this paleo restaurant and I had it for breakfast BOOM.

I have GOT to get some Justin’s soon.. but I can’t justify spending that much on even my beloved nut butter at the moment. Like you said about the cookie recipe (which I can’t wait for by the way)… in due time 🙂
It does kinda cost an arm and a leg…so I buy it more as a treat! I usually just stick with TJ’s raw creamy almond buttah.

So many of my favorites in one post. I love steel cut oats and prepping them for the work is a fabulous idea. I need to do that immediately. I’m also a huge fan of Justin’s dark chocolate peanut butter cups. I used to eat them almost every night and got burnt out so it’s been a while but they are the best!
Seriously–do it! It saves SO much time in the morning.

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FINALS!! You’ve been eating some powerful brain food and that shit’s gonna help a million times over during your exams! As always, I’m a tad jealous of the food you ate…that sweet tater…the cranberry chocolate cookies? Looks so delicious and nutritious!
Eeeeeek thanks lady!! Stuffing my face with cookies on repeat should do the trick, doncha think?

Where can I get the stuff you topped your sweet potato with? I also want those peanut butter cups!
It’s just Tasty Bite’s spinach dal! They sent me a bunch of samples, but you can get it in the ethnic food aisle. I love the simple ingredient lists 🙂
