Hi friends! I actually took about a week off fitness due to some groin pain.  You know what I hate?  When you rest and it doesn’t help, turns out rest stiffened up my psoas probably even more.  BOOOOOOOOO Oh well, it’s over I’m ready to crush the gym this weekend and this next week!

Food

I didn’t get to record a full day this week but here are some meals I did snap a photo of!

I ate Loaded Blueberry Peanut Butter Oatmeal for the first couple days this week!  Going through a serious must have peanut butter on everything everyday thing right now….

I’m also obsessed with all things berries right now, both strawberries and blueberries!  Probably because I gave up chocolate for lent so I’m turning to berries for sweetness!

I made a batch of one of my most favorite easy meals ever cilantro jalapeno hummus + shrimp + cauliflower rice.  I put it over some leftover veggies I had roasted over the weekend.

I’ve been in a habit of staying up late and taking long afternoon naps lately… really kind of a vicious cycle to get into, I need to break it this weekend!  Anyways I’ve been making my favorite one-minute peanut butter mug cake  almost every day, it’s a problem but not really right?

Over the weekend I also made a batch of sweet potato protein pancakes, (new recipe) but then haven’t been that into eating them. They are good but it was like I craved them and then didn’t want them.  Mr. Hungry is happy to eat them for dessert though so it works out.  I did eat them one day for breakfast.

lunch yesterday because there was NOTHING in the fridge – cheese quesadillas with Siete tortillasSiete tortillas, hummus, and veggies

Something else I made this week which I LOVED but did share on my IG stories (PS remember I had to start a new IG account so I’m doing stories on @theHungryHobbyRD now not @hungryhobbyRD. I’m always so grateful whenever friends tag me something they’ve made or workout they’ve tried on IG so please connect with me there too!) Anyways I’m gonna photograph this but it’s gonna take me a while to figure out how to make it look pretty but it’s so so so good it’s worth sharing now!

Ingredients:  one large spaghetti squash + 2 chicken breasts + 1 can thai green curry simmer sauce (got mine at Trader Joe’s)

Basically, cook your spaghetti squash in the IP or microwave.  Then cook your chicken in the simmer sauce in the IP.  After it’s finished cooking add in spaghetti squash strands and eat up!  If that doesn’t make sense to you I promise I’ll be sharing soon, it was so so so good!
