WIAW

Welcome to another week of WIAW inspired by Jen over at Peas and Crayons.

This morning for breakfast was an ezekiel cinnamon raisin english muffin topped with chunky peanut butter and banana.

Lunch was a mini summer burrito bowl from Boloco with no cheese and brown rice. The mango salsa made this dish, it was so yummy!

After lunch I had a little dessert (if you want to call it that). My Adora calcium disk dipped in peanut butter.

Last night I had a workout with Keri so when I got home I was starving! Fajitas were on the dinner menu with salsa and guacamole on a whole wheat tortilla. If you have not tried Joseph's flax, oat bran and whole wheat flour tortillas you need to, they are delicious!

It is going to be a hot one here in Boston today so if you are in the area stay cool and if you are looking for something to do check out the Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl at City Hall.

Question: What is your favorite thing to eat on a hot summer day?

I look forward to this post every week now since I started joining the WIAW party a few weeks ago. Here is my day of eating on Tuesday.

This morning for my breakfast I made a banana peanut butter smoothie.

Ingredients for my smoothie minus the banana

Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie Recipe

Directions
Combine all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

Finished product

For my morning snack I enjoyed a bowl of oats with two tablespoons of raspberry jelly. I am usually not an oatmeal fan but the jelly gave it such a nice flavor that I may be eating this more often.

Lunch was a Bangkok Thai burrito bowl from Boloco with the peanut sauce on the side. Don't get me wrong I love peanut sauce but just like with dressing I like to dip my fork into it then eat because I tend to use less this way.

Halfway gone, I almost forgot to snap a pic

While I was at Boloco grabbing lunch I also picked up my afternoon snack, which was my Soy Berry Smoothie minus the honey. I don't like things super sweet so I always up out of the honey. I knew this would be the perfect afternoon snack since it is finally hot and humid in Boston!

For dinner Joe and I met up with a friend at The Fours where we started off with buffalo chicken nachos followed by a turkey burger on whole wheat. I didn't end up eating the bread because it was just too messy, but the burger was delicious! I am sorry there is no pic.

Question: What are your thoughts on oats, do you love them?

My post today is inspired by Jen over at  Peas and Crayons.

Since I am still not feeling that good I decided to just grab a Soy Berry smoothie at Boloco. I ordered the smoothie with no honey and added a scoop or whey protein power.

My mid morning snack was a cut up Asian pear, it was so juicy and delicious. If you have never tried this fruit it is a must try! They have just the right amount of sweetness with a a nice crisp to them.

Lunch today was my usual Wednesday lunch of Southwestern Corn and Turkey Chili from Cosi with a piece of their whole wheat flatbread. I have been slacking this week in making and preparing meals. I hate weeks like this because I never feel like I get enough nutritious foods when I eat out this much. I will plan to be better with preparing foods the rest of the week.

For dinner I was going to make turkey burgers for Joe and I but the weather wasn't that great to use the grill. Instead I used the turkey meat to make tacos, which was just fine by me since I love mexican, plus I could still use the guacamole I was going to put on my burger.

I love this ground turkey
