WIAW: This week’s eats and the leftover

Hello all.  This week I’m linking up with Peas and Crayongs for WIAW to share what we are eating this week.

This week it was all about the leftovers.  I hate wasting food.  The prices at the grocery store seems to be rising so wasting the moolah on food just makes me upset.  Luckily, we had plenty of stuff leftover from last week that I was able to make new this week.  In my opinion, I think it turned out better this week.

There is video:

Here is a closer look at what we prepped this week:

Breakfast is always the same because I love my oats! I can’t live without them and making the eggs is so easy.

For lunch I stuffed the bell peppers with the leftover black beans from last week. I added corn and jalapenos to add volume and put the mixture in the bell peppers. It worked out really well. I also had lentils left over so I added green peas to that and put that mixture in the remaining peppers. I topped it with a tomato sauce and baked them in the oven for 40 minutes on 425. I think the peppers turned our perfect.

And I also made this carrot thing, but I forgot to take a picture of it before I started prepping it for the meals. At that point, it didn’t look pretty so this is what you get.

And I’ve been eating this salad with a meatless burger in it all week. It’s just easier for me to prep than anything else. I am going to do a blog series on snacks though because it something I am lacking in my life. I need more knowledge and I like to share what I learn with all of you.

If you want to know what we’re having for dinner, head on over to Willie’s blog because he already got his post up! It’s been fun experimenting with the vegetarian diet.

My quick lentil soup

My quick lentil soup

Yesterday morning was a crazy one.  I was running behind from the gym but I wanted lentils for lunch.  When I made it home from the gym at 6:05 am, I had about 45 minutes before I needed to leave for work.  I figured that would be enough time to cook up some lentils and I created something delicious. Lentils are part of the legume family and are a super healthy food.  In one cup of lentils there is 18g of protein which is pretty impressive. Also, lentils take on the flavors of what they are cooked in so you…

My eats haven’t been too interesting

My eats haven’t been too interesting

I get a LOT of e-mails wanting to know what I’m eating. When I have more time, I cook REALLY good meals but I haven’t had much time so I’ve been eating really basic meals. I haven’t been cooking too much lately. If it’s been too late to cook anything we’ve picked up salads from Subway or just settled for whatever was in the fridge. I’ve really been on the search for something that is quick and easy to make and will last a couple of days. A couple of weeks ago I purchased some turkey sausage but never got…
