Are we really 1/2 way through October already and is it really What I ate Wednesday again already?!?!
Where is this year going???
My headaches are gone from last week, but my appetite still isn’t back. I’m making sure to eat some good nutrient dense foods to make up for it. I’m sure the sinus drainage is to blame for all this. TMI??
Breakfast
I made a new breakfast this week, and I can’t get enough of it! This could be an awesome spooky snack or Halloween treat for the grown up or kids alike!
I made a huge pumpkin protein pancake topped with blueberries, banana, nut butters, and my new pumpkin butter. Recipe tomorrow… I won’t make you wait long for this one!
Lunch
Leftovers of Emily’s Kale and Roasted Vegetable Soup with avocado on top. I used parsnip, leek, and cushaw instead of carrot, onion, and sweet potatoes.
Snack
Unpictured half of a banana while chopping dinner.
Dinner
Baked almond flour encrusted sole with roasted brussels and cushaw.
Snack
I finally made Chelsey’s gluten free and vegan blueberry banana bread. I don’t know why it has taken me so long to make this. It is so good!
We have eaten over 1/2 the loaf in 2 days! Whoops! :)
How do you make sure you get in your nutrients when you don’t have an appetite?
What good recipes have you made lately?
Pancakes or muffins for breakfast??

I don’t often do muffins for breakfast but I’m all for pancakes from time to time. Especially pumpkin ones – yummy!
These are the only pancakes that keep me full! Usually I feel like I’m eating air!
These months really are flying by! Can’t believe we’re halfway through October! Love that soup! Looks super good with the avocado on top!
Avocado makes anything good!
I seriously can’t eat enough avocado!
Girl, still no appetite? Eh I’m sorry! I hope it comes back soon
.
I’m not a big fan of either, but if I had to pick it’d be pancakes for sure!
I forget… you are a smoothie girl for breakfast.
I cannot believe we are halfway through October either. Crazy talk!!! Pancakes for sure for breakfast! Muffins are more of a snack
Can’t wait for the recipe!
Totally agree that muffins are a snack!
It pains me that you don’t have an appetite! [Is that weird? It's like telepathic empathy...telempathy?]
I’m glad you can still have parsnips on your diet. To be honest, I sometimes prefer them in soup. I get irrationally excited about them. And things like rutabega. And turnips.
I prefer parsnips too!! Can you teach me about rutabagas and turnips?? I have used turnips in soup but never touched a rutabaga!
Smoothies always help me pack in some nutrients when I’m not feeling well… Or soup! I’m sorry your appetite still isn’t back! I hope that changes soon. I’m definitely more of a pancakes girl for breakfast! Muffins are a good snack or dessert though!
I have been eating lots of soups!! So good at opening up my sinuses too… TMI?? lol
that dinner looks amazing, i love brussel sprouts
me too girl!
Emily’s kale and vegetable soup will cure anything! Its one of my favorite blogger recipes – so comforting.
Glad your headaches are gone and hope you are at 100% soon!
I know!! I usually love her recipes!
I think you are doing a good job getting some healthy options in there. Maybe some of the appetite loss is stress too. I know that will get me.
By the way, I have loved the hemp hearts. Not sure if they are helping with the shakes or not because my diet is all over the place, but I do think they make my oatmeal more filling.
Strangely I have been back on pancakes right now myself. I would say I am more of a muffin person in general…but occasionally the craving hits.
We must be on the same brain wave… I never really care for pancakes for breakfast but I can’t get enough right now!
How are the shakes now?? Diet getting better?
So here is the weird thing, I don’t know if it is the hemp hearts or not, but I do feel like breakfast is lasting longer (that is when I use them). I am trying to eat more in general since I tend not to under stress so that might be part of it as well.
If it is the hemp hearts that is giving a little better regulation during the day that is pretty amazing.
Oh boy, everything looks great! The kale soup and vegan banana bread are calling to me!! I’m so happy to hear your headaches are gone! Now if only mine would go away!
Booo!! What is causing your headaches??
I still have no idea. I’m thinking it must be a food intolerance, but my Doctor and I haven’t totally figured it out though! Its really bizarre.
I hope you get it figured out soon! That is so frustrating!
Can’t wait for the pancake recipe! They look good! I like pancakes and muffins the same. I made some delicious Almond Butter Oat Balls today. They are amazing. Recipe is linked is on my blog!
I will go find that recipe right now!!!
Delic eats! Especially the pancake and bread- my sweet tooth has been in overdrive lately and I cannot get enough aka pancakes for breakfast every day for the past few weeks
At least they’re healthy and keep my belly full until lunch!
We must be thinking the same thing! I have had pancakes every day for the past week!! My sweet tooth has been insane this week.
My sinuses have been bothering me too! I think it’s this weather
!
I think so too! The weather has been all over the place here!
Mmm pancakes
Thats what I’m sayin!
I am going to go ahead and choose pancakes, muffins are more of a snacky thing to me
Sorry to hear that your sinuses are still bothering you, ugh! Feel better soon deary
Thanks love! I agree… muffins are a snack!
That bread looks amazing! Hope you feel better soon
Thanks Paige!
I love making smoothies or fresh juice when my appetite is off…you can pack SO much into one little glass! I haven’t really been cooking much lately…just “assembling” my meals from whatever I happen to find in the fridge. It’s quick, easy, and with the condiment/spice surplus I have in my kitchen, ALWAYS flavorful!
Muffins or pancakes? Really? I’m not even answering this! Lol
PS, where HAS this month gone?! But hey, that just means we’re that much closer to Blend 2013!!
I know!!! I am ready for Blend… I miss you girls!
I want to make pancakes with you!! Your pancakes always look to die for!
