Bites of My Life

My bites looks like a whole bunch of the same thing this week. Lots of eggs and greens. My week had more variety, I just don't have pictures to prove. Well sort of. My days consisted of basically just StudioHopping, working and a few dinners. Oh! And the premiere of Bravo's Sweet Home Oklahoma. Anyone else tune in? Filmed in my city, I'm glued to the TV seeing what spots I recognize them at. 

-I started Whole30 again. My version that is. Strict during the week, and flexible on the weekends ;)
-Whole 30 approved carnitas just calls for swapping lettuce cups for tortillas. Happily welcoming colorful spring food.
-Recipe for this Spring Green Frittata went live last week. Full of green veggies, whole 30 approved and deserves a place at your Easter brunch.
-Frittata for lunch all week long. Reheats perfectly actually!
-Farmer's Market lunch at Kitchen No. 324. Brussel sprouts with hazelnuts, roasted sweet potatoes with bacon and red pepper flakes, and beet grapefruit salad. So so good. 
-Dad is my partner in crime when it comes to adventurous eating. A few rounds through the asian buffet for dumplings, sesame chicken, coconut shrimp and hot and sour soup for Saturday lunch. 
-MOH at your service! Biggest sis is getting married! Can't wait for this Brooklyn wedding!
-Technically my second breakfast for the day if you count the pancakes and hashbrowns at IHOP that happened at 2am...
-For a girl who is allergic to peanuts, I eat copious amounts of nuts. I always have a mason jar stocked of mixed nuts in my pantry. I even keep a baggy of them in my car.

Bites of My Life

Spring has sprung in Oklahoma. Besides today being the first day of spring, the temperatures are equally cooperating. We had a few chilly days last week followed by amazing warm temperatures. Trees are turning green and flowers are blooming.

In a sense of winter ending, a few other things ended for me last week. Well in terms of TV shows...I finished the 4th season of Scandal on Netflix and The Bachelor also came to a close. With a new season comes new things too! I've started Big Little Lies, anyone else? Spring cleaning has also been in order. I cleared out my winter sweaters, and brought in all my spring tops and dresses. My closet has a lot more color now. Nothing feels better than the arrival of spring after a long dead winter.

-Last week I read about all the benefits of rose for your body. Went to All About Cha and my eyes went straight to their rose tea. 
-So I ate spaghetti squash for a solid three weeks straight. It's so satisfying, I just couldn't stop. Been adding nutritional yeast to give it that cheesy taste. So basically I'm faking spaghetti and cheese with squash and yeast...
-Perfect Bars, have your tried them? They are in the refrigerated section at your grocery store. The Blueberry Cashew is my favorite! And the new Turmeric Tantric GTS Kombucha is incredible. And the red buds blooming in OKC are equally incredible.  
-Tip: Load all of your smoothie ingredients (minus the liquids) into your blender the night before, then the next morning you shaved a solid 2 minutes off your smoothie routine.
-Hooked on my Matcha Mint Smoothie last week. 
-The hot bar at Provision Kitchen in Nichols Hills should be your healthy lunch go-to. P.S. Whitney, the owner, told me they are about to expand the hot bar to be bigger and better coming in the next month.
-Coffee Glazed Cashews (new) at Trader Joe's. Run don't walk to buy them. 
-When it's the end of the week and your fridge is almost empty, turn your mis-matched food into an omelette!
-Felt like a frenchie with this quiche and arugula lunch. Pro tip, this is the spinach, mushroom frozen quiche from Trader Joe's. And it's delicious. 
-St. Patrick's day got all it's deserved celebrations this weekend!
-So I started Whole 30 again...and my Crock-Pot Carnitas are about to rock dinner this week. Served in a lettuce wrap with pickled red onions and avocado!
-When your hanger color coordinates with your sweater. My inner OCDness loved this.
