G’day, mates!
How is life? Grandiose, I hope. Breakfast was one of my old time faves that I haven’t had in FAR too long. Pancakes!
I used Bob’s 7-grain pancake mix that I always have handy in the freezer. I wanted something salty too so I topped them with Earth Balance, almond butter, fresh bloobs from my Yellowbird CSA , and maple syrup. Dream breakfast!
I’ve been splitting my time half and half with TRISM and Alchemy these days. Lunch was leftovers of this hugh jass enchilada lasagna of sorts I made over the weekend. I basically have to make a big casserole in order for there to be leftovers since Jeff eats so much damn food. I used this enchilada recipe but deconstructed it, using torn corn tortillas as “noodles,” kale instead of chard, enchilada sauce + sauce from the recipe between layers, and sautéed veggies, corn, beans, extra nooch, and cilantro throughout. It actually turned out really good!
I snacked on a bunch of cherries and more blueberries…
…plus a blueberry cashew Perfect Bar. The best texture.
Then I stopped back at Alchemy and tried a new orange turmeric scone that’s being tested and it was HELLA GOOD!
I washed it down with one of our new Pro Beet juice shots with beet, fennel, celery, apple cider vinegar, and probiotics.
Dinner was my Salmon Stir Fry with fresh watermelon and salad on the side. I used Costco’s frozen wild salmon that I defrosted while I was at work (such a life saver), a frozen stir fry blend instead of fresh veggies plus some added fresh peas, and quinoa instead of rice. I’ve been in a little bit of a cooking rut so it was a nice change of pace.
Dessert was was staple as of late—a warmed brownie with vanilla bean ice cream, peanut butter, and pink salt. So good I can hardly stand it.
I hope you all have a stupendous day!
I should give the pancake mix you use a go. I’m still on the lookout for the perfect one!

It’s so easy. I used a flax egg and it worked great!
I was also going to ask about how you prepared the pancakes!! Did you still use oil and milk and just substituted the eggs for flax eggs? Thanks!!
Yep, used oil and eggs! Flax eggs work too.

Yay! Salmon FTW.

Oh it’ll never get old 🙂

Oh gosh I thought I was the only one who sprinkled pin salt on my desserts! A giant choc chip cookie with a dash of salt on top is AMAZING. Delicious day!
The salt is everything!!

Perfect bars are amazing! Totally agree on the texture thing too. My fave flavor is the PB coconut one, but I’m gonna keep my eye out for the one you had! Sounds good!

I feel this may be a dumb question–but how do you figure out portion sizing for yourself? I am recently recovering from an eating disorder where I heavily restricted and I have a meal plan with a nutritionist but I cannot figure out how to portion size. Any chance you could give me some tips? I love your blog and all you stand for, your recipes are delicious! Thanks so much.
Hey Liz! I don’t really measure things. I put food on my plate and get more if I’m still hungry or perhaps not finish everything if I get full before I’m done. There’s no way of knowing how much you need of something without eating it! A serving of fruit may be half a cup but it doesn’t mean that’s all I’ll let myself eat–sometimes it’s less and sometimes it’s more. It’s different for everyone so there’s no right answer. Have you read Intuitive Eating? I’d start there especially if you’re in ED recovery!

I love making a huge casserole! Plus an enchilada version sounds just about perfect.
Keep doing what you’re girl – you’re an inspiration!

I have been loving the combination of sea and salty and have been adding pink sea salt to my yogurt bowls, a banana and peanut butter, but a salty brownie dessert sounds delicious! I can’t wait to try the brownie recipe you linked!

This all looks so amazing! Definitely want to give that pancake mix a try!
Would you be able to do another grocery store finds post, or more specifically your current favorite things at Trader Joes post again soon?! I absolutely love those and gives me such fresh ideas when going to the grocery store!
Thanks 🙂

Your meals looks especially scrumptious today! Those weekday mornings where you treat yourself to a slower breakfast are THE BEST. And your pancake toppings are killer. Also that lunch recipe is so creative!! And that dessert? DEAD

Your enchilada casserole sounds delicious!!! I tried to make something similar the other night and although we ate it, it really was not good at all! Yuck !! I will have to implement some of your ideas the next time I make it. Thanks so much for your post!

All of your eats looked so yummy and that brownie with ice cream and PB looks like the perfect ending to the day! Also, adding some salt to it is such a good idea!

Let me just say that I spent a good 10 minutes staring at TRISM’s menu and drooling. Talk about YUM! And that enchilada casserole sounds amazing!

That orange turmeric scone sounds and looks beautiful and delicious. 🙂 Also can I just say that peanut butter drizzle over ice cream is the best?
