Wellness Wednesday || A 5 Day Food Diary…

Well, it’s been one of those odd weeks where I’m one day ahead of myself… my alarm went off yesterday morning and I thought it was the weekend. First of all, I don’t set an alarm on the weekend… we having two tiny living alarms… and second… wow, was I off. And on days (weeks) like that, I always find it helpful to switch things up a bit…. like having dinner outside. Which is something we’ve been doing a lot of lately, now that the patio backyard is completed…

Which will also hopefully lend itself to some more creativity in the kitchen. Two weekends ago we made breakfast entirely outside on the bbq (that was fun) and this past Sunday we tried out a new halibut dish (hoping to be able to share it soon…). But today I’m sharing 5 days worth of clean and nutritious eats. I know how easy it is to fall into the old food rut and asking to broken record question “What should we have for dinner tonight….” so maybe this can help in some way if you find yourself in that predicament….

I hope you all have a good day!
