What a lovely Sunday. After all the running around on Saturday, I made no plans for today. It’s how Sunday was meant to be.
As I published my last post, I was already getting hungry for lunch. It wasn’t long before I prepared my meal.
Lunch was simple – an almond butter and jam sandwich, cantaloupe, and fresh green beans. It tasted really good, too. I loved crunching the raw green beans. There is nothing like fully stocked fridge!
While enjoyable, lunch did not fill me up. I munched on an unpictured apple about an hour later. The apple didn’t cut it either. I had an appetite that could not be tamed this afternoon. By 3:00, I made another snack platter.
Cucumber, carrots, hummus, and a few pita chips got me through until dinner. I am the only one in my family that eats hummus – crazy, right?! Needless to say, we don’t always have it in the fridge. I remembered to pick some up at the market this weekend. They had my favorite kind! I couldn’t wait to dig into the Roasted Pine Nut hummus from Sabra. It’s so creamy and delicious.
My hunger continued to rage into the evening, so I ate an early dinner.
It was the quickest meal I could come up with – chicken salad on a sandwich thin and a sweet potato with cinnamon. I made the chicken salad myself. I followed the mayo-free chicken salad recipe from Iowa Girl Eats.
I despise mayo, so I’ve never eaten any chicken, pasta, or potato salad that uses it as a base. With the substitution of plain Greek yogurt, I fell in love! This easy meal was exactly what I needed. My hunger is cured!
Besides eating, I caught up on magazines and read more of my marathon training guide. I also took a refreshing afternoon nap and went for a walk with my puppy. After feeling like a starvin’ Marvin all day, I’m not even in the mood for my usual dessert. My body is happy! To satisfy my sweet tooth I chose a cold, juicy bowl of fruit.
It’s summah, summah, summah time! Cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberries, green grapes, red grapes…amazing! The perfect ending to a lazy day.
What was the highlight of your weekend? Rest, relaxation, and fresh produce made my weekend! It’s important to enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
