    Hummusapien ยป Wellness ยป Lovely Meals Lately ยป What I Ate This Week

    What I Ate This Week

    Published Nov 29, 2017 ยท Modified Nov 8, 2021 ยท by Alexis Joseph ยท 42 Comments

    Hi hi hello dearย internet friends of mine!

    Thank you so much for your fab feedback on the Home Renovation post. It was so much fun to write and I loved hearing all your questions and comments. Keep 'em coming!

    As I'm sure you've heard because the entirety of our lives is posted onย the internet these days, I threw my back out on Sunday. All I did was bend down! Alas, I've spent the last few days in hella pain, half wailing, half trying to find a position thatย doesn't make me want to scream, half icing, and mostly laying down with my feet in a chair. It's been aย week.

    I will say that this low back and sacrum yoga video provided some relief. I went to the chiropractor today and he said the injury is severe to moderate. Theย adjustments definitely helped but I'm far from back to normal. My spine is wicked crooked so I'll be spending a good deal of time with the fox. He also said my hips are showing arthritic wear and tear that's atypical for my age and body size....it just keeps getting better!

    Onto the eats. I ate so much yummy food over Thanksgiving but I did some much needed unplugging and didn't photograph any of it. I hope you all had an amazing feast!

    Breakfast

    IMG_7758

    I'm back on an avocado toast kick. Lately it's been one piece of strawberry avocado toastย plus one piece of avocado toast with salt, red pepper flakes, and micro greens or everything bagel spice. Sometimes with a fried or poached egg or two on the side!

    My favorite bread these days is the sprouted wheat berry bread from Trader Joe's. It's sweetened with dates and it's just all around awesomesauce. I get a few loaves at a time and freeze them.

    I'm alsoย backย on the whole wheat pumpkin waffleย train with almond butter, maple syrup, and strawberries.

    IMG_7697

    Eggs and avocado toast from First Watch. Not as good as mine!

    IMG_7708

    Poached eggs, sautรฉed potatoes + sweet potatoes, avocado, and sriracha.

    Lunch

    IMG_7718

    Chipotle bowl with brown rice, black beans, fajita veggies, tomato and corn salsa, guac, lettuce, Chipotle smoked hot sauce, and chips.

    IMG_7671

    Smoked salmon sammie with scallion cream cheese, tomato, and red onion on local pumpernickel from Katzinger's with my amazing sis, niece and nephew.

    IMG_7781

    Huuuuuge smoothie with frozen blueberries, zucchini, spinach, and cauliflower, hemp seeds, chia seeds, cacao powder, my fave vanilla spirulina protein, cinnamon, turmeric (trying to be all anti-inflammatory for my back), black pepper, and almond milk. Whew!

    Dinner

    IMG_7730

    Jet's pizza with banana peppers and salad. I FREAKING DIE FOR JET'S PIZZA!!

    IMG_7805 (1)

    Wild frozen salmon from Trader Joe's that I marinated in their island soyaki sauce with extra ginger and red pepper flakes with quinoa, green beans, and this yummy pumpkin curryย that my amazing friend Simiย brought me.

    IMG_7750

    Thisย Cheezy Lentil Bolognese Pastaย was really yummy but heavy on the prep work/dishes. It makes a lot, though! I recommend extra marinara on top.

    IMG_7704

    Theย BEST vegan kale caesar salad with crispy chickpeas I've ever had from The Crest Clintonville. If you live in Cbus, this is a must!

    Snacks/Dessert

    IMG_7735

    Vegan whole grain gingerbread with maple glaze! OMG you're gonna die for this recipe. My special recipe tester (hi, Dylan!) tried it too and he approves. I'll be sharing the recipe next week!

    IMG_7674

    Holiday snackage when I was in Cleve featuring the best cookies, brie and crackers, and random tortilla chips that I went to town on.

    IMG_7719

    Super yummy Almond Butter Cookie Bars. Next time I'm gonna use cashew butter for a more "cookieish" taste. We've been eating like three a day.

    IMG_7748

    Castelvetrano olives are my favorite.

    IMG_7782

    Kraut Chips (sooo good), Oasis roasted garlic hummus, and Simple Mills rosemary crackers. Nom.

    Make this week a fantastic one!

      mmm yes i love jet's pizza!! i know you aren't vegan but it also seems like you don't eat a ton of dairy - the deep dish without cheese + garlic crust is seriously so good, i don't even miss the cheese! especially when it's loaded up with toppings. can't go wrong with jets! ๐Ÿ™‚

      Hey Alexis. Nice to hear you took Thanksgiving to unplug and go no-photo style. Always so nice to do.

      Do you have a favorite pumpkin waffle recipe that you use??

      I made your Kale Spaghetti Bake the other night, with your tofu ricotta (which I had made before). It is soooooooo good. Your recipes never fail me ๐Ÿ™‚ Thank you!
