{weekly eats: tuesday}

This week feels like it’s creeeeeping along!  Probably because I know Thanksgiving Break is just around the corner and I’m just dying to get a little rest and relaxation!

Anyway, onto Tuesday’s eats!

Breakfast: 5-minute peanut butter apple chia seed oatmeal with coffee (recipe below)

Recipe for 5-minute peanut butter apple chia seed oatmeal

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• ~2/3 cup water or milk
• 1 small apple, diced
• 1-2 tablespoons natural, unsalted peanut butter

Directions:

1. Add chia seeds to oatmeal and add liquid of choice into the bowl
2. Allow the bowl to sit for about 2 minutes (or until the chia seeds have soaked up a majority of the liquids) then microwave on high for 2 minutes
3. Meanwhile, dice the apple
4. Add the apple to the cooked oats and microwave on high for 30 more seconds
5. Add the peanut butter to the bowl allowing it to get melty (so then you can stir it all together getting every bite covered in peanut butter!)

Lunch: More of my homemade turkey & veggie chili (recipe here) topped with plain Siggi’s yogurt, mashed avocado and hot sauce plus blue corn chips and an orange on the side

Snack: Plain greek yogurt with a crumbled peanut butter cookie bar

Dinner: Trader Joe’s pesto chicken sausage, roasted kale and roasted sweet potato ‘chips’ with homemade whole wheat bread

Recipe for the kale and sweet potato chips:

Ingredients:

• Fresh kale
• Sweet potato, sliced thin
• Olive oil
• Sea salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
2. Line 2 baking sheets with foil and drizzle with olive oil
3. Place kale in a single layer on one baking sheet and sweet potato slices on a single layer on the other
4. Bake sweet potatoes for 20 minutes, flipping slices halfway through or until lightly browned on each side.
5. Bake kale for 15 minutes or until crispy.

Dessert: Plain greek yogurt mixed with natural peanut butter and dark chocolate chips

Slowly but surely getting through this week!
