I’ve been receiving a lot of requests lately for meal posts so here is a look at mine from this past week….
Skirt Steak and mixed green salad (If you’re in South FL you have to check out WHISK in Coral Gables…it’s one of my favorite restaurants here!)
Simple healthy dinner of grilled chicken with balsamic tomato basil topping, brown rice and healthy creamed spinach. Most creamed spinach are loaded with fat. See this one below I found at Publix (local grocery). It is made with all natural ingredients and is pretty healthy! Hubby loved it too!
I’m not sure if it is the pregnancy or Fall that has me craving everything pumpkin! I made pumpkin flax pancakes and they were delicious! I’ve posted a link on my Honeybee Facebook page to the recipe! (Found on Pinterest of course!)
Quick lunch of tuna (mixed with one tablespoon mayo made with olive oil) on mixed greens with a touch dressing.
Another quick and healthy dinner: Grilled garlic chicken sprinkled with fresh Parmesan, brown rice and black beans and a spinach souffle.
And yeahhhh for Honeycrisp apples that are finally back in season! They are my favorite apples!
Now with all that healthy food you have to have a balance right?! 😉 While back home in VA last week I made two pumpkin pies and my mom made some homemade mulled cider!! So delicious! If you are going to have sweets this holiday season, know that pumpkin pie is one of the lower calorie/fat options! Don’t beat yourself up if you indulge! Its the holidays of course xo
Also if you are in the Baltimore area you have to check out Michael Minas new restaurant Wit & Wisdom. Its located in the Four Seasons and since my bf and I are both pregnant we sampled plenty of TASTY desserts instead of our usual cocktails.
One thing I craved while pregnant, (my daughter is 10 months now) was a balsamic glaze on my veggies. You will love it. super easy!
1 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp brown sugar
20 minutes on med heat and done. So delicious. I love the food ideas! Thank you!
I <3 honeycrisp apples!
It all looks delicious!! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I will have to try the tuna salad! :3
Love all these ideas, as usual! Love that you can kind of splurge on dessert instead of the alcohol you would usually have! 🙂 One of the perks of pregnancy!!
Yummy & so healthy xoxo
