A Day of Good Eats {WIAW #6}

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you’re all having a great week so far! I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting in the kitchen and have some yummy recipes to share with you soon! As always, thanks to Jenn for hosting such an awesome party!

Peas and Crayons

Since I have a Fall break from school right now, I get to sleep in and make myself a nice breakfast every morning. During the school week I don't have much time and usually have oatmeal for breakfast. So that’s why I’m trying to enjoy every minute of my “special” breakfasts! :) 

Breakfast this morning tasted great! I had a German breakfast roll topped with butter and homemade raspberry jam, 2 scrambled egg whites with turkey deli meat plus some walnuts on the side.

Quick Homemade Raspberry Jam: Put a few frozen raspberries into a microwaveable bowl, add a teaspoon of water and heat up in the microwave for 30 seconds. Take a fork and press down on the berries until they’re all mushed up. Add a packet of Stevia and mix well.

My hunger was out of control! I was snacking on peanuts and cereal all day! :)

Lunch was something I haven't had in a while..pizza! I made my own homemade pizza crust (with only 2 ingredients and 100-150 calories depending on how big you want your pizza.)
I topped my pizza with tomato sauce, turkey deli meat, cheese and spices! I was in Foodie Heaven, it tasted delish!

Dinner was quick and nothing too special. I topped two pieces of rye bread with peanut flour sauce, cinnamon and banana slices. On the side I had a bunch of baby carrots. Dessert was yogurt and frozen raspberries mixed together and chocolate granola! Simple, but yummy!

  3. I love q&a posts! I say go for it :) As far as pizza is concerned, I have always wanted to try a breakfast pizza. Or maybe I'm just saying that because it's six thirty in the morning haha. When I don't have time for breakfast I'll whip up a smoothie or add amazing grass + protein to a frap on the run!
    Great girls girl, happy WIAW!

  18. Such a good idea with the raspberry jam! And when I'm rushed I tend to go with a quick bowl of Kashi Heart to Heart, sliced banana, nuts on top, and milk. Pretty standard, I know, but it does the trick!

    ReplyDelete
  19. The jam is brilliant! Happy WIAW dolldace!

  26. Hi Shannon! Your eats look amazing! I must try making your quick raspberry jam. It looks lush! You've also reminded me that it's been an AGE since I made pizza. Would love to have the recipe for your low-cal crust recipe. Happy WIAW! xx

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oh I'd really love to see the recipe for your low cal pizza crust! It looks good! Also yes, I would be very interested in a Q&A post :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. So is peanut flour sauce different to PB would you say? I really need to get some soon - I'm so intrigued!

    Quick breakfast is almost always a green smoothie - spinach kale and frozen banana then whatever fruit I have on hand plus add-ins like shelled hemp, flax, nut butters etc.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oh and I would be interested in a Q+A as well!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Great eats girl! I am loving the breakfast. I like to eat big breakfasts then have smaller meals throughout the day :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. All your eats look delicious Shannon. For pizza, I love overloading mine with veggies-peppers of all kinds, tomato, mushroom, onion, olives etc.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love the vibrant colour of your home made jam

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  34. Wow! Your photos are sooo beautiful! And a single serving pizza? Sign me up! :D

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hi Shannon,
    I'm just a little worried about the fact that you're having only 150 calories for lunch. Do you think that's enough? Looks good but don't worry about calories- they're just fuel!

    ReplyDelete
  36. mmm yum!! I love single serving things because sometimes I don't like leftovers.
    I made a jam like that the other day!! It's so good!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  39. LOVE your eats! they look amazzing girl!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I totally make those instant "jams" all the time...usually I make a big batch by just taking a bag of frozen fruit or mixing two (peaches and strawberries work really well) and letting them cook down in a saucepan over medium heat...sometimes I add sugar, but usually I don't add a thing!

    ReplyDelete
  41. all the eats look so good :) and that raspberry jelly is a great idea!

    ReplyDelete
