G’afternoon!
I feel like I just blogged breakfast!!
In between Matt and I walked to the grocery store for a bunch of fresh green produce (and a few other items) and came home to make my Good Bite video. Once the recipe was complete, we decided to just eat it for lunch!!! Eat the props 🙂
The original recipe is here and I did a slightly different one for the video – coming soon 🙂
I beefed up the recipe with extra veggies!
A bed of spinach plus zucchini, red peppers and celery and capers, olives, dressing and feta cubes!
Plus fruit – half an apple and half an orange shared with Matt.
I have a slight headache 🙁 Think I need more water from today’s strenuous yoga session! I’ll be writing all afternoon and then we’re going to Karen’s for dinner. Exciting not to have to cook. We also have a house showing tomorrow! Woo hoo.
Have a nice afternoon!
Mama Pea says
I’m working on a project that requires 8-10 dessert props, and I don’t think my family could be more excited. Cupcakes, anyone?
Yes, drink up that water. Enjoy your Saturday!

boasts, not boats. although it seems like a really bad pun (i.e “on board”) it was really just a typo
Anne @ Food Loving Polar Bear says
Great salad! salad with pasta is soooo filling, I must make one tomorrow, thanks for the inspiration. Although.. no capers for me, thank you very much 😀
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
Lovely looking meal 🙂 I hope you have fun tonight!
Kath, I just baked the lentil apple walnut muffins for my dinner – OH MY GOSH! SO GOOD! Thankyou for sharing that recipe 😀 You made my (and my mum’s and stepdad’s) evening!! 😀
Penny (Blonde Bibliophile) says
Yum! I may need to try something like that for dinner…..
Lauren @ A Fit Foodie says
That looks delish!! I need to try that soon!!

It took me forever to figure out what those capers were!
Caroline (Ribbons, Roads, and Raspberries) says
how ironic…”beefing” up something with VEGETABLES.
That’s definitely something I do all the time, though. People make fun of me for eating so many vegetables but they are just so flavorful!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
I love eating my props. 🙂
Cole says
The pasta looks delish
Lauren @ eater not a runner says
Looks like a delicious lunch! Hope the headache goes away soon 🙁
Stef says
beautiful meal. feel better!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
I always forget to drink more water after a strenuous yoga session….I hope that headache goes away!
Jenny says
I’ve never seen feta cubes before- do you have to buy a block of feta and cube it like tofu?
Kath says
It’s just like cutting up cubes of cheese!
Monica @ Musings of the Granola Girl says
what a gorgeous looking lunch 🙂
so colorful!
Brittany says
Having you a food blog means eating your props on a daily basis. I love it. 🙂
The pasta dish looks yummy.
Emily @ The Front Burner Blog says
I have been guzzling water all morning – totally worth it though! 🙂
Run Sarah says
That looks like an awesome, veggie filled lunch! I am so used to pasta salads being butter/mayo heavy with little veg. I love that the veggies outnumber the noodles in your recipe!
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
I often get headaches after long runs and hot yoga (dehydration!). Hopefully some water and electrolytes will make it go away. Love your veggie-licious lunch 🙂
jaclyn@todays lady says
Lunch looks so good!! Have fun at dinner tonight! Yay for not cooking!
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says
That bowl looks so delicious! Love everything in it. 🙂

Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says
Anything with capers wins in my book…
Karla says
What a tasty looking pasta dish! Love the high ratio of veg to pasta!
Hope your headache goes away with extra water!
Hannah says
Oooh, capers are the best! Love the recipe, all that veggie + salty goodness 🙂
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
That lunch looks delicious. I think I will try that recipe, minus the capers yuck.
Karen says
There is a fabulous yoga studio above Mas in Charlottesville that I go to every Sunday:
http://ashtangacharlottesville.com/
It’s one of the best parts of my week.
Kath says
Oh Karen will you tell me more about it!!! I did find that website and think that studio might be the best fit for me. Is it hot yoga? I see they do have vinyasa classes. I think I read somewhere on the site that they discourage drinking water during class and that turned me off!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
i love eating the props! mine are usually not as healthy as yours are.
christie @ honoring health says
Your lunch looks awesome!
Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!
erin says
Can you really ‘beef’ up a recipe by adding vegies? Hehe 😛
Lovely looking meal as always.
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I love the combo of salty feta and olives. It is my favorite dinner at a local restaurant and I always add them on my salads at WF.
Drink up water. I’m chugging mine now after a great run this afternoon.
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
you had me at “feta cubes” 🙂 if i don’t have enough water i usually get an intense headache…so drink up! hope you guys have fun tonight! letting others cook does wonders to an evening sometimes 🙂
Julie says
enjoy your dinner tonight!
Carrie (Love Healthy Living) says
Ohhhh, yummy looking salad. The feta cubes probably gave it so much flavor. I’m for sure making this. Yum!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
I can’t wait to see the video, that looks fabulous!!!!
Jenna says

amanda@thegrainsofparadise says
