I feel like this week is whizzing by at lightning speed! Granted this week is a relatively short week for me since we don’t have school on Friday (Good Friday). So even though today is Wednesday, it’s really like Thursday. Win, Win!
Remember how I said my appetite was weird last week? It still is. I have had like no appetite lately, but that is definitely not stopping me from eating.
Jen has a new challenge for WIAW this month of April – serve up an extra cup of veggies! As the weather gets warmer, I am all about this!
Breakfast – 6:00 AM
All I have wanted lately is chocolate – and then some more chocolate. I do not know what is up with me, but if I could just eat sugar for all my meals, I’d be okay with it (obviously I would not truly do that!).
Oatmeal yesterday was:
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1/2 banana
- chia seeds
- egg whites
- 1 tbsp. sun warrior chocolate
- coconut
- cinnamon
- cocoa goodness LOVE
- salted vanilla almond butter (made in my kitchen)
Snack – 8:15 AM
A co-worker let me try these snacks she bought from Costco the other day – they were these nut cluster snacks and they were to die for. I must buy a pack the next time I go there!
The mornings (and afternoons!) have been flying by this week – my kids have been cracking me up. They are incredibly obsessed with The Hunger Games, and most of them have read the books and saw the movie over Spring Break. We had a raffle today in the fifth grade which all of them kept saying “May the odds be forever in your favor”, and the other day when I asked for a volunteer to come up to the board, one of my boys stood up and raised his hand while saying, “I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!”.
They definitely keep me laughing.
Lunch – 11:30 AM
Um, so this wasn’t really my lunch. But, it was kind of similar! I left home today and realized I never took a picture of my lunch, but I figured I had a picture of a salad and potato somewhere on this blog (go figure). My lunch was really a salad with tofu and roasted potato wedges. Ketchup, obviously.
And an Adora Dark Chocolate Disk for building my bones.
Snack – 3:30 PM
They’ve made a comeback.
Dinner – 6:00 PM
Dinner was delicious and only took about 20 minutes to get onto the table. Interested in the recipe?
Dinner was followed up by a Purely Elizabeth cookie and a piece of chocolate. Please don’t be fooled – I broke this piece of cookie off of the whole cookie I ate. I just wasn’t quick enough with the camera.
Granola. The usual. I’m a creature of habit.
Aaand that’s a wrap!

Happy ‘Thursday’/Wednesday! Hooray for Good Friday off! (me too!) …..Easter is my FAVORITE so I am totally loving this week! Except for the state testing again. That is slowly killing me and my kiddos. But, after this week- NO MORE TESTING, for the state that is. Woooo! Celebration time, just in time for Easter!
Oh my goodness! I feel like you have been testing FOREVER!
Sooo where’s the recipe for dinner?? Because it looks delicious!!
It will be in another post!
Haha I always manage to sneak a piece of dark chocolate into my lunch. I can definitely identify with the chocolate cravings
I spy pasta for dinner? If so, recipe please!
Tomorrow!
mmm that dinner looks delicious!!! some sort of pasta dish?!
Recipe will be up tomorrow!
Hahah! I love that your students are making class all Hunger Games-y. Too fun!
They’re pretty much fantastic. They keep me laughing all day long - except for when they’re talking when they shouldn’t be.
Recipe please!!
That looks so good!!! I thought today was Thursday, as well, and completed my workout for tomorrow today. Whoops!
It will be up tomorrow!
Yes! I am interested in your dinner recipe! Your oats look real good and with plenty of coconut flavors which is my fav!
Yay for a short week for you!
I have been thinking of you, hope everything going good with the girly stuff , love you!
I’ve been thinking of you too! Shoot me an email and let me know how things are going!
Fifth graders are the best. Have a great long weekend!
Your sweet potato at lunch looks so good. I never think to buy them…I should!
I probably go through 3-4 each week!
Your dinner looks incredible! Recipe please!
It will be up in the morning!
I love that the kids are quoting the Hunger Games! I saw it this weekend but just keep wanting to go back! By the way, I think Titanic in 3D is coming out soon… And I think we need a guilty pleasure trip to go see it. Just a thought. Mostly I just look really good in those glasses… not.
Kathleen and I are planning on going to see Titanic - you should come with us!
mmm yes I want that recipe it looks delicious!
tomorrow AM!
your students are the best, I love saying “may the odds be ever in your favor”
Is that Lindt chocolate I see?! 85% is my fav!! Definitely interested in the recipe for the dinner
My favorite is a touch of seasalt!
i spy chocolate…this was a good eating day.
I don’t know about you, but I try to make every day a good eating day!
loving all of your eats! especially the chocolate! and the oatmeal, and the sweet potato/salad combo, and your pasta… ok, they are all some of my favorites. big surprise there.
looking forward to that recipe!
In the morning! I just sent you an email too.
Looks like a great day of meals!
have a wonderful “wednesday that’s really a thursday”, friend!
Thank you! Sorry I had to cut you short this afternoon when you tried to chat! Duty called!
Am I getting old or does 5th grade seem young to read the Hunger Games?! Probably getting old…
Some of them are definitely not mature enough, but most are - think about all of the different kinds of violence they are constantly exposed to with video games and stuff! As long as most of them realize it’s a “fantasy” book and it would NOT happen in real life, they’re okay.
Glad your week is flying along! Guess your spring break week helped you this week and make it fly by
It sure did! Typically going back from a break is downright painful, but it wasn’t bad!
Ooo, I’m feelin’ that dinner recipe!
And I love the Hunger Games references your kids are making. I was telling Will the other day that they’re probably going to be building a “Hunger Games world” in Islands of Adventure here in Orlando (comparable to Harry Potter world), but then I realized that maybe the theme wouldn’t fly with the parents. I can only imagine what kinds of rides that would mean…
I would LOVE that!!!! Except you’re right - that would be kind of weird. lol
Yay for having a short week! That’s awesome! And all of your eats look delicious- especially your dinner! Can’t wait for the recipe! That’s too funny that your kids keep referencing the Hunger Games. I saw the movie last week and am reading the books now but it seems like it would be scary to them?! I’m surprised at that age that they all love it so much!
You’d be surprised how “mature” their reading is!
First of all, I love The Hunger Games references (I’m a pretty big fan myself!) And um..YES totally interested in your dinner recipe, looks so delicious! Just found you via the hop, I’ll definitely be back for more. Have a great day!
I’d love that recipe! Your kids are hilarious - I volunteer as tribute! Love it. Still need to get my booty to the cinema to see the movie, I was in love with the books. And as much as I know a ton of bloggers who read the books and loved them, I know no one in real life who did
. So no one wants to go with me! So sad lol 
.
You HAVE to go see the movie - even if you go alone! I’d go with you for sure!
Omg your students… that is hysterical! I am so surprised at the wide age range these books appeal to. I can’t imagine reading something so dark in 5th grade but then again maybe I would have. That recipe… yes please! Looks like some springtimey roasted veggie goodness to me. I’m also looking forward to my Friday off. One and half days to go
They are pretty “mature” in their reading choices!
Definitely interested in the recipe. My students have been obsessed with talking about the movies also….so fun! Glad your little snack pack has made a comeback:) Have an amazing day gorgeous girl!
Thanks lady! PS - I’ve been meaning to tell you I want to rub your belly so bad! LOL Do you get freaked out by that?
I’m slightly, okay totally jealous of your short week- I swear I live for the weekend sometimes!!
haha - I love work, but I don’t mind those days off!
Yes, would love your dinner recipe! Looks great. And so funny that 10 year olds can be just as obsessed with Hunger Games as 30 year olds— I kinda love that!
um, of COURSE we want the recipe!
2morrow!
I plan on my dinner looking similar to that tonight, looks great!
Aw your fifth graders sounds too cute! I love that they are doing that, aren’t kids just the best! I can’t wait for you recipe
They are the best - I <3 them!
great eats! looks like a healthy day !!
This post makes me feel better and more encouraged to eat 5-6 times a day. I forget that it’s really okay, especially when you’re eating nutrient dense, plant-based, and healthy!
That breakfast oatmeal looks to die for also. I just bought chia and hemp seeds for the first time and am so excited to start incorporating them into my diet.
Oh girl, you don’t want to be around me if I don’t eat every few hours! I love eating so many times a day!
What a yummy yummy day!!! <3
Yay for short weeks! Those are the best.
I know exactly what nut clusters you’re talking about from Costco. My parents had a bag of them in their pantry last time I went home to visit. Let’s just say, they no longer do…haha!
oh god…you should see my “bedtime snack” EVERY night: 3/4 cup fruit, 1 cup yogurt + granola + nuts , 1.5 ounces of dark chocolate.
And I’m sedentary, except for a 30 minute stress-relieving walk.
Eat much?
nice - thanks so much for sharing!!
