I haven't done a Recent Eats post in quite a while, but wanted to sort of 'check in' with what I've been putting in my body lately, and make sure I'm still on track, so to speak. I like eating healthy, but I'm a huge sweets lover (which I try to keep in moderation... which sometimes doesn't work out so well!). I mainly try to eat healthy during the day, so I can have a sweet treat in the evenings after dinner.
These pictures were taken over the course of the last month I guess, and I did not photograph absolutely everything (almost impossible), but did get the good and the bad to show you a balance.
Lastly, I mainly drink water, tea and milk (and the odd alcoholic beverage). I never drink soft drinks and only drink coffee once a week on the weekend (I like the coffee they serve at our usual breakfast spot!). In the past month I've been cutting back on my milk intake (despite it being my favourite drink) to see if it makes any difference.

I love five guys! I wish I lived closer to one so I could go more than once a year! I think you eat pretty healthy!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE pierogies. If I could I'd eat them every day. I cook them with onions and olive oil, sometimes butter instead, in a pan on the stove until they're brown and crispy and season them with peppercorn and oregano...delish.
ReplyDeleteAlso, have you tried replacing the butter on grilled cheese with a little spread of olive oil? I don't do it often, but have started to lately because I make grilled cheese for my 11-month old sometimes for lunch. It's a lot healthier than butter and cooks and tastes pretty much the same.
