Happy Cinco de Mayo, all! I am currently slurping the tail-end of my first mug-a-rita of the day, and about to blend another as soon as I finish this post. Just wanted to check in with my exercise and eats for the week, per usual. Here goes:
Last week’s eats:
Monday: Portobello Pizzas These were seriously delicious and filling. They are SUPER easy to make, too!
Tuesday: Quinoa ‘Fried’ Rice Um yeah, I eyeballed the ingredients for this recipe, and either I wasn’t hungry or I did a terrible eye-balling job, because I barely picked at this. Tyler took the leftovers to work the next day and said it was even better! Score for him 🙂
Wednesday: Chicken and Avocado Baked Burritos I found this recipe from I Wash You Dry and they were SO yummy. I highly recommend making these!
Thursday: Broccoli Salad I absolutely CANNOT stand raw broccoli, but when it is made in this salad, I honestly can’t get enough. So good. It’s generally a side dish, but I made a big batch and we ended up being satisfied with just a bowl full of this stuff each.
Friday: Homemade Pizza! I was originally planning on making noodle bowls, but when Friday rolled around, I wasn’t in the mood AND I had leftover dough in the freezer. It was super quick and easy to make and even more delicious. I really love having pizza on Fridays with Tyler and the pups around.
On tap for next week: (Oh man, Tyler and I actually thought this week’s menu up TOGETHER and I am really excited for what we each plan on making!!!)
- Monday: Avocado Egg Salad Sandwiches
- Tuesday: Crab cakes
- Wednesday: Spicy Black Bean Burgers
- Thursday: Kale Pesto Pasta
- Friday: Fish Tacos
**Note: There are TWO dinners with seafood. Yes, this is crazy since I HATE seafood, but I am really trying to incorporate some here and there.
Ok, now on to the exercise. I think this past week went pretty well. Let’s take a look:

The quinoa fried rice looks so good!! And the pizza!! Actually all of it looks amazing! haha
OK, help me out here. Tyson chicken? Is it real chicken? Like, not gonna give my kids extra limbs? And is it frozen?
Forgot to mention- I didn’t use Tyson because I think it’s nasty! Just 2 chicken breasts sautéed in strips!
LOVE the idea for portobello pizzas!
I never had broccoli salad until I moved out here and my MIL makes it…so good!
Crazy! I didn’t have it until about a year ago and dream about it!
I’ve been seeing a lot of quinoa fried rice recipes lately, and yours looks hella good! Makes me want to try it out. 🙂
I’ve got a good wine for ya this week 🙂 Portobello pizzas be da bomb, yo.
they are so yummy!
I eyeballed making some black bean burgers last week – the first round, SOOOO delicious, that I thought I could try my hand at a second time eyeballing the black beans as we had a lot left over – but nope, they didn’t even stick together was so blah….
I think I am going to make what you made last week for some meals this week! they all look so good.
Where did you get your black bean burger recipe from?? I am nervous mine will come out looking like barf or something! 😦
