Breakfast, breakfast, blunch

2 more work days til the Healthy Living Summit!  I can barely contain myself 🙂 I think I might actually be able to get my business cards after all!!!  I’ll post pictures when I actually have them in my possession.

Breakfast #1

Last night, I made up a double batch of scrambled eggs.  These consisted of:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 egg whites
  • S&P
  • Red Pepper Flakes
  • a splash of water

When the eggs were almost finished cooking, I tossed a little Frank’s Red Hot on top:

I also roasted up 2 cups of broccoli.  I had half of this for breakfast this morning with a dollop of Heinz ketchup:

Breakfast #2

Overnight oats!!!  How many times can I photograph the same exact bowl of overnight oats??  Geesh.

I wonder if overnight oats are considered a “liquid.”  Would like to take some of these guys with me to the airport 🙂

Stats on B#2:  229 calories, 42g carbs, 5g fat, 6g protein, 7g fiber

Lunch

Last night I mixed up chicken salad consisting of:

  • 2.5 ounces grilled chicken breast
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 Stonyfield Farms plain fat-free yogurt
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/4 cup red grapes, halved

I made similar chicken salad a while back, and really liked it.  Today’s was just ehhh ok though.  I think it was the addition of the celery.

I served it on top of a bed of romaine lettuce:

I also had two pickle spears, and part of a Joseph’s low carb pita… Anyone else ever experience “low-carb” headaches?  I’ve heard about it before, and a little while ago I started noticing the correlation between headaches and the Joseph’s low-carb pitas!  Today I had half of the pita before I started to notice a headache coming on.  So odd… but I think I’m done with these pitas… Hopefully Mama Lupe comes out with a low carb pita soon 🙂

Stats on Blunch (blah-lunch):  231 calories, 27g carbs, 2g fat, 30g protein, 7g fiber

Plans for dinner:  Having two of my lovely friends over for dinner tonight 🙂 I have a special dessert project for them… hope they’re ready to be guinea pigs!

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google

  • Mmm, all of this looks so good! I have been all about eggs lately, I figure my body is needing them :)

    how do you even go about finding something like that out - if you can take oats into the airport...? (if you find out, please let us know!)

    have a great time at HLS... I'll be there in spirit, while at a wedding on the other side of the country... :(

  • that chicken salad looks so good. mind you i just fed my fat face a totally big unhealthy cheeseburger. now i want to just take a nap. let's all say loser. thank you.
