Summer Salad Sandwich

The lazier I am the more creative I become...

This open-faced "breakfast" sandwich has everything I love

Gluten free bread topped with wild salmon salad, chickpeas, avocado, red pepper, 

red onion, dill pickles, a poached egg, spinach, yellow mustard, and black pepper

Because hey, it's SUMMER and sometimes your mind does weird sh*t haha

Protein Packed Meals

Some days are spent eating mostly carbs and others are protein packed.

 Today I just needed the extra boost only protein-rich meals can provide

They say eggs are an excellent choice for breakfast, so I attempted to make an omelet

By attempted, I mean failed and thus my omelet became an egg scramble

Still yummy nonetheless. I used a whole egg, 

egg whites, spinach and onion with black pepper

Salmon salad for lunch

My current and long-standing obsession

So I made an open-faced sandwich with gluten free toast, lettuce, and salmon salad

I always struggle with not eating the whole container of salmon, its just that good

So now that we are on the subject of protein, it leads me to wonder...

Questions: Do you alternate between higher

 carb and higher protein days? Do you find that

 some days you just need protein-rich foods?

Toasty Sunshine and Salmon on Toast

Take a moment just to "stop and smell the flowers", 

which is exactly what I did on this beautiful Spring day

My most enjoyable meal of the day was this Salmon Salad on Toast

I've been enjoying salmon a lot lately as it's one of 

my favorite deli items from Planet Organic Market

Plus salmon on toast with a little fresh kale 

just makes for the perfect lunch with no fuss

And you get your daily dose of Omega 3's in

Question: What was your favorite meal today?

Friday Foods and Smoking Cessation

I don't know about you, but pink smoothies just make me feel happy :)

Strawberry Protein Smoothie

Shakeology Vanilla Protein Powder

Nutritional Information

Now that I have pink liquid radiating through my body, I can take on my day!

A delicious and nutritious breakfast

Lunch was also fairly pink with a take-out meal box from Planet Organic Market

Wild Salmon Salad

Quinoa Salad with Nuts and Cranberries

"Hail To The Kale" Vegan Salad

I ate about half of it because the portions were HUGE

Now to sidetrack myself to a different subject...Quitting smoking.

 I have been smoke free for over a few months now and have been 

mostly using an e-cigarette/vaporizor to do so. But I ordered these 

Habitrol patches a couple days ago because they helped in the past

Last summer when I used to smoke. Yes my gasp explains it

 all!!! I am so glad to be smoking-free and my lungs are much

 happier too. It's such a terrible habit and one thats hard to break

So far, Habitrol patches have been helping me

 continue stay tobacco-free, so thats good news :)

My dinner

Oven Roasted Sweet Potato with Chicken Breast and Cooked Frozen Spinach

Balanced and filling

And that was my day of eats! Quite yummy overall :)

Questions: Have you ever smoked or know someone who 

did? If you quit, what worked for you or for those you love?

Salmon Salad for Breakfast

There's nothing wrong with wanting to get your omega 3's in before noon

So I had Planet Organic's Wild Salmon Salad on top of gluten free 

bread for breakfast, and it was delicious! Just what my body needed :)

Question: Do you ever eat seafood for breakfast?

Monkeying Around

I love sushi for breakfast, it comes in second to chocolate :)

Brown Rice Vegetable Combo with Imitation Crab Lettuce Wraps in Tapioca 

Paper, alongside Roasted Chicken Breast, Sauteed Kale, Red Onion, and Leeks

Protein-packed with healthy carbs to fuel my day

The other day I found this while at Value Village

My monkey toque that I am now obsessed with

Look at that face! Awe

My lunch looks more like it should have been my 

breakfast, but who says we should follow the "rules"

Scrambled Tortilla with whole eggs and egg whites, kale

 and onion, a dash of garlic powder and squirt of mustard

Oh and tomato, all tucked tucked into a brown rice tortilla

Mighty delicious and so simple, just how I like my meals

Let's switch over to dessert shall we?

Dessert for Dinner? I think so!

And inside an empty bowl of noodle soup? Yup!

A cup (I ate some while photographing) of Soy Ice Cream 

with Gluten Free Chocolate Fudge Cake and Vanilla Cake

Definitely not Soybean Noodle Soup, but way tastier ;)

Questions: Do you switch up your meals too? Do you

 have Breakfast for Lunch or Dinner for Breakfast etc.?
