It feels like Monday around my house since school was closed Monday and Tuesday for Rosh Hashanah. It’s nice to know that we are already halfway through the week yet I will admit it’s quite difficult to snap back into the regular weekday routine after being engulfed in holiday eating and lots of fun family time.
Let’s take a look at what I ate yesterday, the second day of Rosh Hashanah.
The usual early morning action in my kitchen:
My first cup of coffee and first bowl of oatmeal with mashed banana and cinnamon swimming in almond milk because I am suddenly on an almond milk kick now that I have discovered I am not allergic to it.
After some Pure Barre and an easy run, I was starving so I quickly showered and fixed myself a second breakfast of oatmeal, greek yogurt, Skoop B-Strong, banana and peanut butter.
Normally I like to add berries to my oatmeal but I didn’t feel like it yesterday. What I did feel like was another bowl after I finished the above bowl so another bowl is what I had.
Once I was finally full from breakfast, I decided to try out Amanda’s new recipe for Greek Yogurt Pumpkin Banana Bread.
We were going to my aunt’s house for Rosh Hashanah lunch so I needed something to bake to bring with me since I always arrive with something sweet.
Yes. Just yes. You must make it!
Halfway through lunch I remembered that I was planning today’s post which meant I needed pictures of my meals.
My aunt always puts out a nice spread (which reminds me that we aren’t so far off now from Thanksgiving!) so even though I missed some photo opportunities, you can trust me when I say there was plenty of challah (and honey), salad, bagels, lox, salmon, veggies and baked pasta dishes to go around.
Dessert on the other hand, that I always remember to capture.
My aunt cut up the banana bread into adorable little cubes. Like really, it was delicious.
By the time I got home from lunch it was basically time to think about dinner but I felt as though I just ate a full meal which thoroughly confused me and my appetite.
So I had an apple with peanut butter because apples with peanut butter are what I eat when I feel the need to eat something but don’t know what that something should be.
I never really ate dinner now that I think about it. I had a banana before I went to sleep and here I am now, Wednesday morning, feeling like it’s Monday.
Be sure to check out what everyone else is eating today 🙂

What’s your go-to snack/meal when you don’t know what to eat and aren’t overly hungry but need something?
Who is running today? Indoors or outdoors?
Do you like banana bread?
Apples and PB are a great snack for when you’re not hungry but need to eat something! I have also done smoothies when that happens. I always get excited to bake with banana but end up not wanting it anymore after a day or two.

I suggest you make this banana bread and freeze half.
When I can’t figure out what I want, I usually go with eggs or greek yogurt. I like it every time. And that banana bread looks divvvviiiiine.

The banana bread was terrific, I totally recommend it.
Pumpkin bread and banana bread made appearances here over the weekend, yum! And go to snack might be a larabar or if I need savory, an avocado with sea salt.

I love a perfectly ripe avocado. I don’t know how I went most of my life thinking I hated them.
Is it too late for me to convert because that spread looks amazing!!
Happy WIAW and thanks for linking up.
Hahaha- you would definitely enjoy the food.
Apples and PB are my go-to snack, although if we have fresh banana or pumpkin bread or muffins I’ll go for that!

Apples and peanut butter are always my go-to snack, meal and dessert but I would love to have some of that banana bread leftover because it was great.
It looks like a delicious day of meals! That banana bread sounds so good! And I’m all for apples and peanut butter when I’m not sure what else to eat, haha 🙂

The banana bread was amazing!
Apples are what I always eat whenever I can’t decided on anything else. I think I probably eat 2-3 a day.

I already had two apples today, perhaps I will have a third by the end of the day!
I’m all about the apple, honey, and cinnamon… or oatmeal and nut butter. It’s just easy and I know delicious. Outdoor run today – no humidity, cool breeze, loving these fall temperatures. And I’m obsessed with banana bread. I need to make Amanda’s recipe ASAP!

I will ‘accidentally’ be popping over next Rosh Hashanna. Just saying.

For sure, you would definitely enjoy it 🙂
I am running inside today. Peanut butter by the spoonful is my go to anytime, meal. It looks like you had a great spread, I love bagels with cream cheese and lox. Have a great day.

I could live on a jar of peanut butter!
Apples and honey are mandatory anyway 🙂
It’s funny, the way I know refined carbs really send my blood sugar rocketing is that if I’m feeling not so hungry or even nauseous, eating some plain cereal or crackers or toast gets me starving!

Apples and honey are always one of the highlights (and the raisin challah with honey)
I love banana bread! I need to make her recipe. I love the combo or pumpkin and banana.

It was so good! I recommend it for sure.
I want to try the pumpkin/banana bread. I’m not a banana lover but I commented on Amanda’s post saying I was dying to try it. YUM. I feel like I’d be in heaven at that meal- challah, bagels, DESSERTS, baked pasta dishes… any and all of the above please. Whenever I eat a giant meal at lunch I’m never full for dinner later… oh well. Worth it for a delicious meal.

It all look so good!
