Because of our Williamsburg trip, this week felt short. Here are some of the highlights!
Breakfasts
Scrambled eggs, toast, fruit with sunflower butter
Yogurt with tons of fresh fruit, chia seeds, cinnamon and sunbutter
Cheerios with banana, blueberries, peach, sunbutter and milk
Hot oats whipped with banana and blackberries. Sunbutter was the theme of the week!!
Family breakfast with egg, toast, fruit
Mazen had a little veggie frittata!
Lunches
Salad with lentils, cheese, tomatoes and a slice of toast
Whole Foods hot bar salad fearing tilapia, BBQ, tortellini, lentil salad and lots of kale
Leftover tilapia from above hot bar over greens with tomatoes, leftover grilled veggies and Nut-Thins
Salad with tomatoes, avocado, egg, carrots, ham and chips
Dinners
Mexican night – shredded chicken, greens, corn, peppers, salsa, cheese, avocado-greek yogurt blend and chips!
Quick weeknight snapped with my phone – soup from the freezer and green beans with bacon
Post-vacation dinner of grilled carrots, beets, fennel, potatoes with massaged kale salad and goat cheese
Pesto Meatballs made with basil, pine nuts, parmesan cheese and grass-fed beef (a twist on this recipe)
Served over whole wheat orzo from Whole Foods bulk bins and a side salad
M loved them too!
When I made the meatballs, I formed some of the mix into a burger patty. A brilliant morph that I will be doing many times again – it made a perfect slider!
On a spinach feta roll from the bakery with sweet potato fries
And salad
Hope you had a summery weekend!
Anna @ On Anna's Plate says
I’m always impressed with the variety of your dinners! I feel like we have the same five meals on rotation EVERY week. I need to work on mixing it up a little!
Anele @ Success Along the Weigh says
That all looks wonderful and since I haven’t had breakfast yet it’s making me quite hungry! 🙂
Shel@PeachyPalate says
The mexican dinner plate looks gorgeous! So bright and colourful! Loving all the sunbutter love – goes so well with peach and blueberries!
Zoe @ Chocolate Covered Chia says
I love reading these posts for ideas 🙂 Thanks Kath!
Melissa says
Your eats, per usual, look beautiful! I especially love how the grilled carrots and other grilled veggies look. It always makes me wish I had my own grill!
Kinsey says
Those sweet potatoes look delicious! I have been wanting to whip up some roasted sweet potatoes with a little curry powder and garlic for the past week.
Ashlee@HisnHers says
You have me craving sunbutter now!! Mmm
Carly @ Snack Therapy says
Maze just gets cuter by the second! I love it. That little slider is a great idea! It looks like the perfect way to get a little taste without feeling too full.
Ashley @ Hudson on the Potomac says
Yum the pesto meatballs look great!! My basil plant is currently thriving- looks like I found something to put the bounty toward!
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries says
That Mexican salad looks so delicious and colorful! Love it!
Yvette says
Hi Kath!! I sooo love reading your blog because of your wonderful foodie creations you make 🙂 I wanted to ask you girl when doing scrambled eggs do you only use one or two eggs or do you mix up with egg whites? and if you so how much eggs or eggwhites do you combine. Can you plz let me know on how many eggs to use to make healthy scrambled eggs 😉 Thanks Kath. Have a Bless of Day.
KathEats says
I have two in the morning – just two whole eggs! (Often i share about 1/3 with Mazen)
Meagan says
I love your turquiose / green bowl in the second picture!!
Lauren @ The Highlands Life says
A salad with an egg on top just makes my day.
Kaila @healthyhelperblog! says
The little fritatta you made for mazen is adorable! As is the mini bun burger! So fun playing around with mini foods!
Alisha @ Alisha's Appetite says
I always get so much inspiration for my meals with these posts. Now I’m craving fruit and nutbutter!
Marissa@ohhhsolovely says
i love how colorful most of your meals are…makes for very healthy meals as well!
Chelsea Preedy says
Sunbutter is such a nice twist to traditional nut butters! Do you have a brand that you typically buy? I’ve only tried it twice and one time, it had a little bit of a funny flavor.
KathEats says
Either trader joe’s or Sunbutter – both are great
jodea @ chillichocolatelove.com says
All your meals look so good, but the breakfasts are just divine!
Emily @ Life on Food says
Is it just me or is Mazen getting big!?!?
Kim says
Those spinach feta rolls look super yummy! Are they available at all Great Harvest locations or just yours?
KathEats says
It depends on the store, but it’s a popular bread
Kim @ Healthy Living in the City says
I’ll have to investigate at the Plano, TX location and if they don’t carry it, I’ll see if I can put in a request 😉
Maggie @ Sunnyside Up Smile says
All of your food looks so bright, colorful and delicious! And what a little adventurous eater you’ve got on your hands. It’s adorable that Mazen enjoyed his veggie frittata. His Mommy has taught him well 🙂 How does sunbutter compare in taste and texture to almond butter? I’d like to try it.
KathEats says
Smoother, creamier and less earthy – it’s the best!
Amy in Canada says
My internet has been down for two weeks–just got it back up and Mazen looks bigger in just two weeks!
KathEats says
Welcome back!
Erika @ fortheloveofpeanutbutter says
Yummm! You’re antique-looking spoons are just the cutest. That bun you used on those burgers….I need me some of those!
Kiane C. says
All those healthy meals make me feel hungry and makes me want to overhaul my entire diet! They look so delicious, I want to try them all. What I loved most are the Cheerios with banana, blueberries, peach, sunbutter and milk & the green beans with bacon. Your baby M sure looks cute when he smiles at the foods you’ve prepared! Your family is so lucky to have you because you are focused on keeping them healthy and yourself too.
Ginger says
Is there a reason you pair fruit with sunbutter? It seems like a weird pairing… just wondering if there’s a nutrition reason or if it’s just a preference. 🙂
KathEats says
Just delicious
Christina @ The Beautiful Balance says
Loving all the sunbutter and salads that are popping up on here!
April Jacobs says
I love all the recipes from breakfast to dinner! The salad looks really great! I can’t wait to try it. 🙂
Amy @ The Little Honey Bee says
This was not good to read/look at while the afternoon-work-hunger-pangs kick-in! Yummy-ness 🙂 Oh also, made your baked oatmeal bars this weekend… so great!
Kim says
I can’t believe how big Mazen is getting! My son is 14 months old and honestly, I just don’t know where the time has gone! Does M like the orange juice? We haven’t done any juice yet, but I always wonder if he ever gets bored of just water and whole milk…when did you start letting Mazen have juice?
KathEats says
I don’t normally get some juice but I had some fresh squeezed OJ on hand and wanted to give him a taste
Sars says
Try to put off giving juice as long as you possibly can… Toddlers very quickly become juice addicts LOL. Don’t give the juice, and they will be very happy with water. A juice box will wind up being a HUGE treat later on in life, but not a must-have. Once you open that door with them, it can be difficult to close. And you CAN run into compications with kids who don’t drink enough fluids. There really is no benefit to allowing your child juice instead of water. But so often, toddlers drink their calories all day if they drink juice, and it can also lead to cavities. Don’t go down that road or you can quickly wind up with a child who hates water!
KathEats says
For what it’s worth, M didn’t care for the OJ : )
Miller says
Those are some really great meals. They all look delicious, especially the salad with lintels. 🙂
Haley @Cupcakes and Sunshine says
I loooove those black and white plates!
Neil Butterfield says
That cheerios breakfast looks amazing! I want some now!!!!
Mike says
Those all look very appetizing and healthy! It’s a bit difficult to follow a healthy diet, however you make it look so simple.
Pete says
Hi Kath,
My wife and I both work in CVille and live on our family farm in Powhatan county. We’re starting up an organic small grain operation here, and should get our USDA organic certification any day now. We have about 40 acres of organic buckwheat growing now, some of which I may harvest in a month or so. Noticed an earlier post about the South Street Inn “buckwheat granola”, and wondered if you’ve done any more experimenting with buckwheat? If you have an interest, we’re in the market development phase of our project here, and would love some feedback on buckwheat and on what other types of organic grains you might be interested in…
KathEats says
Hi Pete! I do enjoy buckwheat, and my husband and I own a bakery (Great Harvest Bread Co.) where we do need to buy buckwheat for our buckwheat blueberry granola! Shoot me an email if you’d like to talk more. Katheats @ gmail.com
Thomas says
Oh wow, look at all those dishes! They look incredible and HEALTHY! Your baby looks very cute too.
