Is It Lunch or Second Breakfast?

Lunch

So, I totally ate my lunch before noon today. Is it even considered lunch then? Second breakfast perhaps? I dunno. Breakfast was a major fail in the satiety department today (maybe my oatmeal needed more nut butter?), so when my stomach started to grumble around 10:45 this morning, I fed it.

Part 1 of lunch was spaghetti squash with TJ’s turkey meatballs, sautéed mushrooms, truffle oil, and nutritional yeast.

Are you sick of seeing this meal yet? I am. I love spaghetti squash and all, but, man, it makes a lot of leftovers!

Part 2 of lunch was a Van’s Power Grains Waffle. Mal eats these waffles for breakfast during the work week and they always smell so delicious when he toasts them, so I made one for myself today.

I topped it with almond butter and strawberry slices. So delish!

Since I ate lunch so early today, I’m already planning a substantial snack for this afternoon. FEED ME!

Emmy

I keep coming back to carrots N cake because you seem so NORMAL! I feel like i can really identify with your lifestyle, and you definitely don’t ever make me feel like I’m not doing enough in terms of my healthy eating habits – some bloggers just seem like they’re TOO perfect all the time. You also seem to really enjoy your lifestyle, which is really inspiring.

Congrats Amanda and Emmy! Please email me at with your full name, mailing address, and whether you’d prefer a Whole Foods or Lululemon gift card.

About Carrots n Cake

My name is Tina, I’m 30-years-old, and I live in Boston, Massachusetts with my husband, Mal, and my pug, Murphy. Besides spending time with my family and friends (and, of course, blogging), I love to stay active. My favorite form of exercise is running, and I’ve run more than 20 races, including my first marathon in January 2011. I also enjoy walking, hiking, yoga, and Body Pump. (Ok, I’m a bit obsessed with Body Pump!) I also love baking, beer, dining out, and traveling. My full-time job is blogging for Carrots ‘N’ Cake, but I also juggle a number of part-time gigs. I write another blog called Trading Up Downtown for a nutritional rating company called NuVal. The main focus of the blog is how to save money and select nutritious foods with the help of the NuVal system. Additionally, I write a weekly feature for Health.com as part of their Feel Great Weight program. And, in October 2009, I secured a book deal with Sterling Publishing. My book was published in May 2011 and it’s based off my blog, Carrots ‘N’ Cake.
