Lunch today: Chopped veggie salad (tomato, cucumber, onion, carrot, and avocado drizzled with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper) with a garlic-mint-lemon yogurt sauce. YUMMMM!

Tasty cherry lemonana. And my amazing new rosebud glass from the thrift store <3

Lunch today: Pasta salad with tuna, peas, corn, onion, and mayo, topped with tomatos and salt&pepper. MMMMMM!

Dinner tonight: Shrimp and asparagus pasta, with a mozzarella-tomato salad. Enjoyed outside in the beautiful weather!

Dinner tonight: A mixed veggie salad, and some salmon. Simple, healthy, and tasty!

Lunch today: Tuna salad sandwich, covered with a big hunk of lettuce.

*

Dinner tonight: Beef Stroganoff. I really like the creaminess, the easiness, and the mushrooms, of this dish!

Lunch today: Fruit & Cheese & Meat Platter! AHHHH. This is one of my all time favorite things to eat: Any kind of snack-type food, that you can combine and enjoy in different ways, with different ingredients. Today we had blueberries and strawberries, some swiss and cheddar cheese, some salami, an apple, and of course some crackers. Absolutely heavenly.

*

Dinner tonight: Good ol' Peanut and broccoli chicken. A delicious staple in this household, though today I added some coconut milk to the mix to make it a little more sauce. As always, super tasty!

What I like to eat for breakfast:

Vanilla yogurt + granola + almonds + fresh blueberries.

Instant oatmeal (maple + brown sugar) + Earl Grey tea with sugar and milk.

Dinner tonight: Lemony salmon pasta in a creamy sauce with peas and tomatoes. I looked up a recipe, but ended up kind of just making this up, and it turned out sooooo tasty! Good stuff :)

Breakfast today: "Special Breakfast"! That's what we call anything that's not cereal.. and is made on the weekend, when husband and I finally can eat breakfast together. This morning it was homemade hash browns, two fried eggs, some bacon, and an English muffin each. 

*

Dinner tonight: Beef stir fry with asparagus and yellow bell pepper. This was a new-to-me recipe, that I saw while browsing the interwebs (Pinterest, to be more exact) and thought looked tasty, plus we had all of the main ingredients! And it was pretty good. Next time I would make double the sauce though. 

Here's the link to the recipe, CLICK.

Dinner tonight: Grilled salmon, fried zucchini with loads of garlic, and a super delicious salad with lettuce, goat cheese, fried almonds, dried cranberries and an olive oil - balsamic vinegar dressing. MMM. 

Lunch today: A sandwich with mayo, ham, tomato, onion, red bell pepper, and salt & black pepper. Enjoyed with a tall glass of lemonade, and a tall flower.

*

Dinner tonight: Crab cake sandwich (which I always want to call a 'burger', but am not supposed to, since that only pertains to beef) with homemade french fries and a dollop of mayo for dipping.

Breakfast today: Yogurt + granola + almonds + blueberries = heavenly.

*

Dinner tonight: My favorite kind of veggie, aka Brussels sprouts, served with grilled garlic-lemon chicken, and a tasty tossed veggie salad. I am much more drawn to light and simple meals, when the weather gets warmer.. Mmm!

Dinner tonight: SHAKE SHACK. My friend and I went to the city today to see a concert, and afterwards were starving, so we decided to get our late night gluttony on and visit Shake Shack. I might have gotten a bit carried away as I ordered: french fries, a vanilla shake, a cheese burger, and a "chicken dog". Oh my, it was super tasty and I finished it all!

Dinner tonight: Grilled salmon with couscous and a salad. This has got to be my all time favorite "summer meal". It's so easy and fast to prepare, and it tastes divine. I like to make a lemon-garlic-dill sauce to go with the fish, and it is the perfect finishing touch to this delicious dish!

*

Dessert tonight: I loooooove frozen yogurt. I have always been a fan of ice cream and other icy treats, but last summer I discovered "froyo" and I haven't looked back since. To make it at home, I just take yogurt and blend it with frozen fruit. Not so sure how much that constitutes as real frozen yogurt, but it does the trick for me. Here I mixed vanilla yogurt with frozen strawberries and raspberries, and topped them with some fresh blueberries. YUM.

Dinner tonight: Peanut chicken with broccoli served over rice, aaaaand some mango lassi! I was feeling a little bit indian/fusion tonight, so I made one of my favorite, easy, super delicious sauces, and since we had quite a lot of mango that needed to be used up, I whipped up some mango lassi. So tasty!

Dinner tonight: Chicken quesadillas with homemade pico de gallo. We had an abundance of tomatoes, and for once some cilantro, so I decided to make some of my summer favorite: salsa! What a fiesta!

Dinner tonight: Husband made hotdogs! And peppers & onions to go with them. And a funky, purple lettuce salad with tomato, yellow bell pepper, and feta cheese. DELISH.

Lunch today: A husband made sandwich! And it was delicious. Ham, cheese, tomato, onion, yellow bell pepper, lettuce... And "Cool Ranch" nacho chips. MMM!

*

Dinner tonight: City pizza. New York City, that is. Husband and I shared a mozzarella-tomato slice, and a bacon-ranch slice. And, I ate my weight in garlic knots. Love them!

Breakfast today: A SMILEY PANCAKE. With nutella, mushed up banana, and whipped cream. :)

*

Dinner tonight: Green curry with chicken, cashews, and cilantro (also broccoli and onion, but they don't start with a C), and a side salad.

Lunch today: Basic cheddar & chicken breast on English muffin. 

*

Dinner tonight: Fish tacos in the City! Om nom nom.

Lunch today: A Brie-Pear-Chicken breast sandwich. Can you say YUM?

*

Dinner tonight: Fried potato cubes, broiled asparagus (with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and parmesan), steak, and delicious salad.

Lunch today: A jam and cheese sandwich. My dad used to make these for lunch sometimes back when I was a kid. They may sound a little bit weird, but they're tasty! The sweetness of jam and the savoriness of cheese work so well together.

*

Dinner tonight: Thai coconut red curry with cashews and cilantro. Yumm-o!

Lunch today: Tuna melt! With some salt & pepper chips, and raspberry lemonade. Feeling awful summery, even though it was a rainy/overcast day.

*

Dinner tonight: Kale, chicken, and mashed potatoes. More exactly "blanched and sauteed kale with garlic, salt, pepper" , "breaded and fried chicken breast" , "mashed potatoes" - oh wait, that last one was pretty self-explanatory.

P.S. Please excuse the awfully yellow tint in the picture.  

Snack today: I made iced coffee! And had a piece of some chocolate-raspberry-crumb bar, that I made for an event we hosted last night. What a perfect little snack. 

P.S. Making iced coffee is easy and tasty, if you make a sugar syrup to add to it, instead of just trying to dissolve the sugar into it.

*

Dinner tonight: Fish tacos!!! Always a crowd pleaser! Also the best salad ever, that I have been making nonstop. I'm on a real avocado and mozzarella kick. We enjoyed this amazing dinner outside on our front porch -- It was such a lovely day. Yay for the approaching summer!

Lunch today: To keep up with yesterdays heavenly sandwich, I made this today -- a croissant cut in half, with chicken breast and avocado. Oh I do love croissants, and I usually eat them plain, but was feeling adventurous today. And it paid off, this was so good! I also had a few leftover deviled eggs from last nights dinner. AND, let's not forget about the raspberry lemonade with fresh mint! Delish.

*

Dinner tonight: Husband and I had to go run some errands, and we decided to go to Smash burger for some yummy burgers! I always get the same thing: crispy chicken sandwich with avocado, bacon, ranch dressing, tomato, and lettuce. It's so tasty! We also always get fries and a vanilla milkshake to share. And tonight we had two coupons, so we get one burger free and the fries for free too! Score!

Lunch today: May I introduce you to the most delicious sandwich ever? An onion ciabatta bread cut in half. One side with mayo, chicken breast, tomato, onion, avocado, and salt & pepper. The other side with brie cheese, chicken breast, avocado, onion, and lettuce. I died and went to sandwich heaven.

*

Dinner tonight: This is what I grew up eating as "Sunday dinner" -- my dad would make it every, you guessed it, Sunday! Fried potatoes, and deviled eggs. Might seem like a strange combo, but it is super yummy. Usually my dad would also add beans, but we made a little salad instead (with the same delicious ingredients as yesterday).
