Dinner. When in doubt throw veggies in a pan with olive oil.

Boneless skinless chicken breast with MUSTARD (love mustard). And peas, baby tomatoes, orange pepper and eggplant fried with a lil olive oil. Drizzled some maggi ontop. YUM!

Left over Home Made Soup... on RICE

So, just soup isn't filling enough for me... so I put it on rice today for lunch. California Brown Rice... the best rice EVER! So filling and delicious! This soup was awesome. What to make for dinner now.
PS. I ate my lunch at work at 3pm!! Moral of the story... eat when your hungry.. not when the clock tells you to. Boo ya.

Pear/Cake Snackies

Every month at work we celebrate the birthdays.... at NOON. And I am never hungry at Noon so I have my snack and the cake! Usually its an ice cream cake but today was Mousse... so I picked out the mousse and avoided the wheat areas lol. Everyone also ordered out... but I can never order because its usually something jam-packed with wheat... today was shwarma's.

Breaky... Guess what it is!

Almond butter, plain rice cakes and banana!!! Never gets old.

Morning time...

Morning COFFEE. YUM. Still drinking it with 10% cream... will be looking for Silk coffee cream this weekend. I wana eat as little dairy as possible... grossing me out the more I know about it. Why do we drink another species breast milk? I have no clue... not for calcium or vitamin D because those are readily available in other HEALTHIER foods. Dairy = Fat... and not the good kind.

Dinner: Random.

So, I took my soup I made yesterday (Yummy Veggie soup) and put it over my favourite brown rice ever (California Brown Rice.. comes in a brown paper bag). Then I decided I wanted hummus... so I dipped some tostitos in it.... Random but super filling and delicious dinner. haha.

Leftover Lunch : Veggie Soup!

YUM.

Homemade Veggie Soup

Finally some nutrients! Home made veggie soup.
1. EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) & veggie in a big pot - fry em up till their soft.
     - I used broccoli, carrots, zuchini, parsnip, red onion
2. Add 4-5 cups of water and a can of diced tomatoes (and you can add a soup stock ... I use the Knorr little cubes).
3. Turn up to stove to bring this to a boil and add some rice. It will cook as the soup comes to a boil.
4. Once the rice looks soft turn off the stove and ENJOY!

Yummy Yummy!

Yummy Dinner

Good Heavens this was GOOD!
Basmati Rice made in my rice cooker (I use my rice cooker SO much... love it). In a frying pan with EVOO I fried up some tofu, canned corn, red onion, green pepper and snow peas.. once it was browned I added some canned Diced Tomatoes... after I took this picture I shredded a little bit of cheddar cheese on it and it was SO YUMMY. Tasted like something Mexican! So simple... simple ingredients... quick to make... and now I have lunch for tomorrow too! : )

Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.6

Dinner on the stove... but Im hungry NOW!!

Totally finishing the can of corn I used for dinner. Always RINSE your canned veggies... Most are full of sodium and sugar. :-)

Pineapple snackie

Yumm.... Pineapple should be eaten alone between meals to get its maximum benefits. Bromelian reduces inflmmation and swelling... Who knew. Also good source of VC!!

Lunch Time

Tis' lunch time... (for my belly.. I don't mean it's noon).
Spinach salad with cucumber, baby tomatoes, red onion, some white chedder. Balsamic dressing... just a PC Brand. When I eat at home I take time to make Oil & Vinegar... but when I'm hurrying to make my lunch I settle for pre-made dressing... and yes the ingredient list is HUGE... what do they need all that stuff for?
Dry roasted almonds... yum. I made the salad lastnight as I was cutting stuff up for my eggs... It's a good habit to make your lunch as your making dinner... quick and easy... get it over with!

Non-traditional Dinner

What the hell is this you ask? haha.
One free-run (very important) brown egg, some egg whites, spinach, red onion, baby tomatoes, beets, green pepper and two peices of cheese : )
It's not your average dinner but it is delicious and filling! Oh, I also put a little bit of salsa on my plate to put on the eggs. It is a great substitute for ketchup (full of sodium/sugar/garbage). Salsa still has some sugar in it... but a much better option. You wouldn't think to put beets in scrambled eggs but they are delish! Also notice how jam packed the plate is with veggies... Yum Yum! See you at snack time.

Tea after work...

Home from work. Havin' a fennel seed tea... Kinda tastes like black licorice. Dont drink tea often but the weather made me want one...

Lunch Time...

2:52.. and it's time for lunch! I know you're all thinking Im nuts ("omg that's so late"). But like I said before... I eat when I'm hungry. Some days my lunch is earlier some days even later. This lunch is leftovers from lastnights dinner. Gluten free pasta noodles, veggies that I fried up with EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), and a jar of pasta sauce (Mushroom garlic - PC brand). There is also some extra firm tofu in here... yum. This meal is so quick, easy and yummy. I also do this with spaghetti squash... which I highly reccommend!!

Snack Time!!

Alrighty.. 12:24 now. Hungry... but not hungry enough to eat my lunch! So, snack time!
I have banana pro-biotic yogurt (PC Brand). Which is not the best (I prefer Greek yogurt now) BUT they had none at the grocery store on the weekend so I bought this delicious kind! To put in my yogurt I have some gluten free cinnamon granola, plain slivered almonds, flax seeds and dried cranberries. And up top... just some dry roasted almonds... geez I'm going to turn into an almond today.

See ya at lunch!

My usual Breaky.

So, it is now 10:21am... And I'm feeling hungry... Breakfast time. Every weekday I bring my breakfast to work because Im not hungry when I first wakeup. My motto is EAT when your HUNGRY people!!! This is plain brown ricecakes with almond butter and sliced banana ontop. So, ricecakes ingredients: brown rice. Almond butter ingredients: almonds. Banana is also just a banana. Now compare this to bread toasted with regular peanutbutter. Ew. I know.

It's Morning Coffee Time!

Hi Everyone,
Soon you will realize that I drink coffee every morning... as SOON as I wake up. I am not picky about the brand but this particular cup is from Costco... good ole Kirkland (courtesy of my Costco-obsessed boyfriend). : )

As of right now I use 10% cream in my coffee. I eventually would like to switch to Almond Milk... I used to use it, but got suckered back into the cream. Most weekdays I will have 2 mugs full... on weekends usually more. Depends if Im in a rush or chilling in my pj's all morning. : )

Thanks for readin' and see you at breakfast!

Welcome to What.I.Eat. by Learn.Eat.Live.

Welcome to my first BLOG!

Starting tomorrow I will be documenting everything I eat everyday by uploading pictures and brief messages. It's my very own interactive/online/picture food diary.

I hope this BLOG will encourage viewers and readers to educate themselves on the nutritional value of food and where their food comes from. I want everyone to be conscious of what they are eating on a daily basis by making better choices at the grocery store, in the kitchen, and out and about.

As I mention above, I by no means have a "perfect" diet but I am very conscious of what I eat and the choices I make. Yes, I eat chips, candy, french fries and chocolate (all in moderation)... so don't be alarmed if these pictures pop up on this BLOG. You could go crazy with all the nutritional information that's out there today... so... keep it simple and choose your food battles!

Thank you so much for reading...
