A Day Of Chocolatey Eats

By 22 Comments

Good morning!

I don’t know about you all, but I don’t think I’m alone in saying I love this season. It’s cozy and magical and there’s all this anticipation and HOPE.
All the Christmas lights are up in the city and tonight, we’re braving the tens of thousands of people at Rockefellar Center tonight for the tree lighting. I’m so excited!

How do you get in the Christmas spirit?

This week I’ve been eating from my freezer and when I’m not eating from my freezer I’m eating 10 minute dinners. Like eggs.
Making double portions of a recipe and freezing it is my favorite way to still eat good, nourishing food even when I’m busy. On weeknights I either have Nutshell appointments, church stuff or social things and rarely have time to cook so it’s leftovers to the rescue!

But I’m already ahead of myself talking about dinner on WIAW. What about breakfast and lunch?

Breakfast was back to the usual oats! At home last week my favorite thing was a slow morning with coffee and an elaborate breakfast, but now that I’m back to the hustle and bustle it’s back to oats. Pumpkin oats with apples and sunbutter!

Followed by a green smoothie made with a scoop of Amazing Grass, 1/2 frozen banana, a cup or so of almond milk and frozen spinach.

 For lunch, I had leftover butternut squash soup [this recipe using butternut instead of pumpkin] that I made before Thanksgiving so I defrosted that and ate it with a kale salad with more roasted butternut squash, Mary’s Gone crackers, an apple and followed it up with one of these chocolate chia cookies (used PB chips and PB instead of cranberries and AB)

 

When I was home I found these seasonal Larabars that are amazing! I usually only like the chocolate chip varieties or PB cookie but the pumpkin pie, gingerbread and this snickerdoodle are all amazing.

 

I also noshed on a few piece of dark chocolate with some PB and baby carrots for good measure.

Dinner was super simple because I didn’t feel like eating more leftover soup since I had it Sunday night. I sauteed up mushrooms and kale in coconut oil, then fried up two eggs in coconut oil and ate it with a sweet potato drizzled with maple syrup. Besides the passive time it takes for the potato to bake, this dinner came together in under 10 minutes.

And rounded out the day with leftover grasshopper cookie from Peacefoods . Imagine two big double chocolate chip cookies sandwiched together with mint frosting….AMAZING.
Plus another chocolate chia cookie for good measure. I just realized I ate a lot of chocolatey things today but sometimes…
Only chocolate will do.
