So it seems like I’ve been spending an awful lot of time in the kitchen lately which is … GREAT! I’ve tried some new thangs, had a failure or two, but had an awesome time playing. All cooking really is, is big kid playing! Check out this week’s eats! Thanks Jenn and hope your toe feels better! 😉
Chobani plain yogurt, farm fresh peach, Love Grown granola and a spoonful of strawberry preserves.
Two egg scramble with cherry tomatoes, alfalfa sprouts and turkey.
I’m horrible at eating lunch at work. Even when I do pack a lunch, it often doesn’t get eaten until I get back home. Because of this I’ve started packing smaller snacks instead of a whole meal.
Luna Bars have become my go to snack. The White Chocolate Macadamia is to.die.for!
Sometimes we girls get a little crazy and order takeout for lunch. Luckily, the area that I work in has a ton of amazing restaurants to order from.
Nicoise salad with seared Tuna. Who said take out can’t be healthy AND delicious?!
Dinner is a meal I have no problem with eating.
Chicken Pad See Ew. One of my favorites dishes in life. Try it!
Salmon Explosion Roll. Salmon tempura and asparagus topped with more salmon and salmon tobiko.
Seaweed Salad. Recipe will follow..this is so good and easy to make!
Some Tai Thai goodies. Tom Yum Soup, Calamari with Sweet Chili Sauce, Red Curry and oh yea, some white Sangria.
Life ain’t worth living if you don’t enjoy dessert once in a while.
I shall call these quinoa fail cookies. They tasted great, but looked horrible and fell apart when touched. It was my first time baking with quinoa and coconut oil and with some tweaking, I’m sure I can make these look as good as they taste!
If you can say no to fresh cut watermelon, you have superhuman powers. End.of.story.
Since July’s theme is Food and Fitness, let’s move on to the calorie burning portion of the post. Just last night, my new home gym was completed. Tommy ran all the cables and I got to do a killer arm and back workout. I am seriously in love, but was not in love when Tommy asked me to read the instruction while he was putting it together..check this out.
Yeaaaaa…luckily, Tommy is pretty handy without my help. The boy knows how to read plans for skyscrapers, so what’s a little home gym to him!
Don’t mind the curtains, they are coming down as soon as I can find something to replace them. That’s what you get when your dad buys new basement curtains at Walmart!
It’s small and cramped, but it is coming together. I also want to buy some mats to put down under the machines. And maybe some posters and pictures on the walls. We shall see!
I have a feeling that soreness will be coming on rather soon and I could not be happier! Feel the burn!
What’s the best thing you ate this week? Do you go to the gym or work out at home?
I totally want a home gym. I love that you are so determined to put it in there!

It was free, I had to get it down there! 😉
Could not agree more about the watermelon.
That pad see ew recipe needs my attention! Love that stuff.
You always have the best stuff over here. That scramble is already making me hungry for breakfast. 🙂
White chocolate mac luna bars are probably my fave!

Try it! It is soo good. You can never go wrong with Thai!
Spending lots of time in the kitchen is never a bad thing, I love to whip up a storm in the kitchen at the weekend! I love that Luna bar flavour too!
Jemma @ Celery and Cupcakes recently posted..Cherry Oat Breakfast Muffins
Agreed! The kitchen is my fav room in the house!
All looks really tasty! I love those Luna White Chocolate Macadamia bars too..i only got to try a few when i was in the states but fell in love with those ones!
Lot-O-Choc recently posted..Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Olympic Chocolates
It is the best flavor hands down.
That’s awesome that you have your own home gym! That would be so handy when the weather is crappy because you really would have NO excuse not to workout! 😉 I go to the gym for the most part, but sometimes I also run or bike outside.

I used to go to a gym, but since having my little guy, working and starting law school, I haven\’t made it there so I cancelled my membership. I love having my own little place to go to whenever I have some time to workout! No excuses!
Luna bars are my favorite. I really like the protein luna bars. I feel like I’m eating a chocolate bar when I have those. I think they are the best nutritional bars. 🙂

I agree! The White Chocolate Macadamia bars are really taste just like a candy bar!
Best thing I ate this week = Red Velvet cupcake from Crumbs and chocolate soft serve from Mr. Softee. Desserts are just better in NYC 😉

Mr. Softee is the best. I have to keep myself from running out the door when that music plays!
Ooh! White choco macadamia is my fav flavor also!
And that salad looks so fresh and amazing! I wouldn’t mind eating that everyday!
Flat noodles + soy sauce..how can you go wrong? hehe.
Love all your eats! And I’m very jealous of your home gym! Congrats!!!
Awesome to have a home gym there. I work out after dinner – usually because that is the only time I have to spare. And have been kicking out the Spartan WODs a day. ya… i’m am feeling the DOMS from last nights workout. Actually its probably the DOMS from the last 3 days. LOL.
Your bowl of ChO – delicious!

I like to workout at home during the winter but during the summer I go to the gym more often plus workout outside, of course

THose luna bars are my fave too- and I will look for your seasweed salad- that is one of my faves- but I can never find the thin seaweed like they have at japanese restaurants…saying hi from peas and crayons wiaw!

Looking at your post really makes me want to go out for sushi! We finally have a sushi joint in the area (40 min away), but it is so pricey that we save it for special occasions. I’d like to make my own one of these days…
