Well, it's halfway through the work week, which means it's time for another...
Today's WIAW post will feature Tuesday's meals. Joe and I purchased a lot of farm-fresh produce from the Art and Wine festival we went to on Saturday, so our meals have been extra fruit-and-veggie filled! Thanks to Jenn hosting the link-up! Head over to her blog for more about What I Ate Wednesday and to check out other bloggers.
Breakfast
Tuesday's breakfast was the usual--a bowl of cereal. This week, I have Honey Nut Cheerios. No picture, but y'all know what a bowl of cereal looks like :)
Morning Snack #1
We picked up some fresh strawberries, and I have REALLY been enjoying them this week! They are sweet, juicy, and keep very nicely. I also had some Chip-Ins popcorn chips.
Morning Snack #2
It's Teacher Appreciation Week, so I enjoyed some of the sweet treats in my box. That's Something Sweet #1 this week, and my goal is to limit it to 3x a week.
Lunch
I had my usual salad, but this time I used fresh lettuce and blueberries. The fresh lettuce is SO GOOD and really makes the salad easy to eat. Also included: tomato, green pepper, and an avocado. I was wondering how the blueberries and avocado would taste together, but it was a GREAT combination! I also ate some grapes.
Afternoon Snack
Not long after lunch, I had a container of Chobani Greek yogurt (pineapple flavor). I packed it with my lunch but didn't have time to eat it. It was a great snack to hold me over when I was teaching an after-school review session.
Afternoon Snack #2
When I got home, I had some BBQ sunflower seed kernels from my NatureBox. A full review is coming soon, but spoiler alert: these things are so tasty!
Dinner
More farm-fresh produce appeared in our dinner: steamed squash! I enjoy steamed squash, but it was extra good being farm-fresh. I also steamed some zucchini with the squash, and our main dish was tilapia with a lemon juice-honey sauce. Very light but tasty dinner.
Workout
I made it to the gym later than I wanted to and missed the BodyPump Express class I wanted to attend. But, I got in a 15-minute incline walk on the treadmill before a CXWORX class. The class featured the new release, which I LOVED! Annette, a blogger and Les Mills instructor, wrote a great review of the release if you want to hear more about it. Side note: she reviews every BodyPump and CXWORX release, so check it out if you want to know more about a song and/or the moves in each release.
I am LOVING all the farm-fresh produce this week. I'm thinking we're going to have to make some regular trips to the farmer's market from here on out. It really does make that much of a difference! Good stuff!
Question for you: How often do you get farm-fresh produce?

Loving the fresh produce myself right now! I go to my local farmers market every week if I can - it costs that little bit more but the quality (and friendliness!) is worth it ;)
ReplyDeleteAll the stuff we got was $20! It is a little more pricy, but we certainly got a lot for our money
DeleteBBQ sunflower seeds sound awesome! I've only seen the flavored ones from the store with a whole bunch of questionable ingredients, but I think it would be great to find a less processed version. Looking forward to that Nature Box review.... Or I'll just need to find a way to make my own :)
ReplyDeleteThe NatureBox ones have all recognizeable ingredients--good stuff! I've seen some discounts on Facebook, so try it out!
DeleteYummm! I love going to the farmers market, and I cant wait until fruits and veggies are fully in season. Right now my market has mostly plants and flowers :( Also, I love the idea of putting blueberries on your salad! I might have to steal that idea next week!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, try it out! It's tasty! I can't wait to try out the local farmer's market soon--I haven't been sine I've lived down here in FL
