Is it Friday yet? Am I becoming that person who asks things like is it Friday yet even when I know it’s only Wednesday and now reminded everyone else that it’s only Wednesday? Didn’t I used to be the glass half full person who would realize that it’s ALREADY Wednesday rather than say it’s ONLY Wednesday?!
Please ignore me. I am not in a right mind this week even when I consume large amounts of coffee.
Breakfast:
So I am still not really eating apples. I say not really eating because I don’t want to eat an apple at any point in my day. However, I did buy a few apples recently in my attempt to maybe eat them which means someone has to eat what I bought before they go bad.
I decided to use an apple in my post-run oatmeal the other morning to trick myself into liking apples again. It sort of worked, this oatmeal (recipe here) was delicious.
Lunch:
I really like roasting sweet potatoes in the Trader Joe’s Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning blend. I didn’t forget that I am going to round-up my favorite ways to use the seasoning – still working on that!
This was a quick salad with roasted sweet potatoes, chick peas, avocado and romaine lettuce. Normally I add a few other salad ingredients but I just didn’t have the desire for that.
Dinner:
Sometimes my dinners are a lot like my lunches in that they may involve the same ingredients.
Here we have a baked sweet potato topped with roasted frozen broccoli, chick peas and avocado. This is what I call a very basic plant-based dinner for people who don’t feel like cooking or thinking much about what they want to eat.
With some Island Soyaki (from Trader Joe’s) on top, it was perfect. After eating dinner out four nights in a row, I needed a nice, simple dinner like this one.
Dessert:
Insert chocolate chips here. And grapes. Oh! And a few Hershey’s Miniatures. 🙂

What’s your favorite basic and quick dinner to make when you don’t feel like cooking?
Which fruits do you like in your oatmeal?
Who else is ready for Friday?
I feel like this week is going sort of fast but I still wish it was Friday already. Since I plan out our meals, there are certain things I will plan to make if I know I will have less time for cooking (or could prep over the weekend). Sometimes we make homemade pizza with store bought crust if we know we won’t feel like cooking a meal.

Definitely ready for Friday! We are having quite a week as well…. My favorite easy dinner is just rice or quinoa with whatever random vegetables I have and some kind of beans or eggs…and all the toppings!
Oh man wishing today was Friday!. But only a couple more days. =)

I don’t like cooked apples but I like eating raw ones. We have a four day long weekend here, so lots of kids at home. I’m kindaaaa looking forward to that and also kindaaaa not. 😉

I totally understand. we have a long weekend next weekend.
I love banana in my oatmeal and raisins (sometimes apples.) The best easy meal for our family is probably spaghetti or nachos. :o)

Chicken, baked or roasted potato, and roasted veggies is my go-to dinner. I usually like apples in my oatmeal but lately I’ve been having banana and blueberry and then baking apples with my lunch.

I’m a teacher, so I’m not only wishing it were Friday, I’m wishing it was June 9th our last day! So I feel ya on the long weeks! And I love apples, especially with PB, but I don’t really like them cooked, lol.

I pretty much love all fruit in my oatmeal, but my fav is probably sliced banana with walnuts.
