Since we're greening up our eats this month,
Here are a few of my latest and greatest GREEN obsessions:
Ready to green your eating routine? [Yeah you are!]
Here are a few tips to get ya started:
Herb it up! Dust your kitchen creations with chives, basil, parsley, thyme, oregano, etc...
Take your favorite dishes to the next level by serving them on (or under!) a delicious pile of arugala, romaine, spring mix, shredded cabbage or other leafy goodness!
Toss green grapes, pears, avocados or apples on your favorite salad -- they pair fabulously with greens as well as tofu, potato, chicken, and tuna salads.
and now, a little What I Ate Wednesday action [Friday's day of yum]
[breakfast] yogi green tea with kombucha + dry roasted almonds + clementines [lunch] a little of each: chips + salsa + veggie fajitas + salad + refried beans [dinner] leftover veggie fajita deliciousness stir-fried with fluffy quinoa and drizzled with sweet chili sauce
I love ordering a big skillet of veggie fajitas at mexican restaurants. It's enough for 2-3 meals and it's uber easy to revamp the fresh pile of vegetables into nearly anything! Omelettes, rice bowls, quinoa stir fry, and even salads can be whipped up in record time with these leftovers handy. It's one of the healthiest options on the menu and is filling and oh-so flavorful.
Do you have a favorite restaurant dish that makes baller leftovers?
Share it in the comment section below!
ooooh leftover risotto makes great risotto cakes!! and now i'm craving fajitas!
ReplyDeleteYour nail polish is so cute! I love that even your almond bag was green. Happy WIAW, Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBetween my husband I usually splitting the meal and my kids eating off my plate, we don't come home with leftovers too often. :) I love veggie fajitas - we go to a local restaurant that makes the best!
ReplyDeleteWay to keep up with your green tea like you set out to do Jenn!! Your nails look stellar--love the black sparkles! Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful green day! I've been trying to find 100 cal packs nuts but they're no where to be found!

ReplyDeletewill do this every Wednesday now! I love it!!! Thanks Jenn
All the best from Austria,
gonna go to bootcamp in a bit waaaaaah its wayyy too early!
This restaurant in Fredericksburg makes a "veggie burger" that is this bean and grain concoction of joy that reheats beautifully and can be crumbled on or into anything. Don't worry. I reinvented it at home. :) [Still makes great leftovers.]
ReplyDeleteMy first WIAW post! I'll be back this evening after work to check out everyone's posts! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteLove leftovers in any form. I usually get a couple veggie sides and bring some home. Maybe greening with leftovers is a good way to go.
ReplyDeleteAh, I missed the green tea. This was my best green day yet!
ReplyDeleteMexican food!
ReplyDeleteSeriously. I get excited when I spot it anywhere... I'm a nut.
love grapes in my tuna salad!! good idea. p.s. I love that nail polish. Come give me a manicure!
ReplyDeleteawesome eats girly! Thanks for hosting such an awesome party :)
ReplyDeleteThose kale chips look FAB! I totally need to make some! And you're so right, you can pretty much put arugela over or under anything and sneak in some greens!
ReplyDeleteYou're making me hungry, girl! This all looks so great - and I LOVE your nail polish too :)
ReplyDeleteI love Mexican and I love fajitas and recreating them! Mmm... and your food photography is always amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE La Croix water! The grapefruit flavor is my favorite! And Mexican food holds the key to my heart :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great WIAW!! I'm so glad to be a part of it...can't wait to click and lick (well not really, but maybe drool) over some really yummy eats.
ReplyDeleteI pretty much get leftovers wherever I go since the portions are huge but I get most excited about breakfast items! Village Inn had pumpkin pancakes and I ordered an extra side to take home and drizzle with melty peanutbutter and nuts...mmmm :-)
ReplyDeleteAlso cute nails!! :-)

For some reason I never thought to re-invent leftovers, but I totally will, now!
ReplyDeleteLoving all the green veggies this week, and those are great tips for greening things up a bit.
Long live chlorophyll! :D
OMG so much good food!!
ReplyDeleteI love leftovers! No cooking or thinking about what to eat that day. I love to cook, but sometimes I just don’t have any inspiration. I’ve been eating a bit unhealthy the last couple of days…need lots of greens in my system.
I just went running with my boyfriend and we incorporated multiple sets of HIIT in between! We have to train hard now because we are doing the tough mudder in July in Edinburgh, Scotland !!! waaaaaaah!
ReplyDeleteGreat Greens, Girlie!!
ReplyDeleteMmmm LOVE ordering fajitas and using leftovers for omelets!!
ReplyDeleteLove all of your fabulous ideas =)
Great idea to go green with herbs. They are definitely a forgotten bit of color. Your meals look fab like always.
ReplyDeleteGreat green tips! I was just thinking it's time to get my herb garden going again... love being able to add a fresh herbs, and they are so easy and cheap to grow!
ReplyDeleteToday, I'm proud to say, I've joined in on the WIAW tradition.
ReplyDeleteWe have the latest and greatest green favorites in common. All 4 of the items you listed are often on my weekly menus. Except I haven't tried adding Cayenne to my edamame with sea salt. Sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteOooh, love the green tips! I eat a lot of things on romaine - chicken, steak, tuna, whatev. And I was happy to hear your suggestion about avocado. I just bought one and was thinking about throwing it in egg or chicken salad. Now I know it doesn't sound like such a silly idea. :)
ReplyDeleteIts SO GOOD on both! I usually put it on tuna salad [my go-to] but I've had it all three ways! =) Glad we're on the same [GREEN!] page! lol
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh arugula!!!! That's on my list of recent loves too!
ReplyDeleteDid i link back correctly, don't see my name anywhere! :p
ReplyDeleteI love your site and subscribed. :) Love to see what other people ate today!
ReplyDeleteYes! Tell me things to do with Kale puh-leeeze! :)
ReplyDeleteTry the kale chips first [the ones with garlic, onion and cayenne -- there's a recipe when u click the link!] and then try it in mac and cheese - it's sooooo good!
ReplyDeleteDid you try adding it to the party yet? There's a little blue button at the bottom of this post that says "add your link" that will allow you to add your WIAW to mine! <3 Let me know if that helps and if not I'll talk ya through it! <3
