Food: no so great

Last week I said I was enjoying a lot my meals, well… this week was the opposite. I didn’t enjoy the food I was eating, I didn’t know what else I could eat, I was bored with the usual suspects. 😦 I don’t know why…. it just happened.

Breakfast was the only meal that I still like.Still enjoying  a lot the Peach/greek yogurt/protein cake “mess”

Dinners #1

last serving of fish ball, napa cabbage and dry shrimp soup

sauteed iceberg lettuce

#2

winter melon, tomato, bamboo and black fungus soup

store-bought japanese seaweed salad

#3

sautéed chinese mustard greens with oyster mushroom

purple laver, tomato and egg soup

Then I got tired/bored of chinese food. Besides I had some digestive issues (bloating, constipation and fullness) this week, I had to switch to smaller meals.

I got this WW Tuscan Paine from Trader Joes

made a sandwich with tomato paste, 1/2 avocado and cheddar cheese

grilled a bit

served with tomato (which I love during this season, they’re so sweet!)

enjoyed this meal. More sandwiches to come! 🙂

Q: Do you get tired of your usual food sometimes? What do you do then?

Food: random combos

Last week I lost creativity in term of food choices. So these combos I have repeated times!

#1 2 fried eggs + grilled sandwich made with LC, steamed spinach and ketchup

I’ve been trying to increase my protein intake. 2 eggs in the morning is a safe way to guarantee I get some form of protein that day.

#2 Oatbran cooked with cocoa powder and 1/3 cup of ricotta cheese, topped with Almond butter

the rest of the family had waffles and fruit salad

I finished AB and I made coconut butter (simply blend shredded coconut for 5 min)

oat bran with ricotta cheese is a very filling combo. It keeps me full for several hours!

I forgot how tasty is coconut butter! So glad I made it! 🙂

At work, I had several times of salad, bed of greens, sauteed cauliflower with mushrooms, and 2-3 eggs.

and a thick slice of my favorite bread they offer: bread with walnut and raisin.

For dinner, I had several times of homemade wontons! I like them so much that I asked my mom to make 20 packages to be store in the freezer so I can have them when she is not here (she left this morning!).

Next week I’ll be enjoying Argentinean food!!!!! Can’t wait!!!! 🙂

Q: How do you make sure to have enough protein? What’s your favorite way to have it?

Food: breakfasts

Breakfast last week: some old combo and a new one.

Oat bran cooked with blueberries and cottage cheese, top with a big spoonful of almond butter and almond milk

it was a really filling bowl

homemade veggie buns with almond milk

oatmeal, pickles and fried egg

fully cooked fried egg seasoned with soy sauce

grilled sandwich with egg, LC, tomato and spinach

A new combo, fruit soup with glutinous rice balls.

It’s something that I used to love when I was a kid and it suddenly came to my mind one day so I asked my mom to make some for me.

It was delicious! 🙂

Q: What’s your childhood favorite breakfast combo?
