Well, I had to kick myself in the butt to put together my “What I ate Wednesday” post for this week, since my husband and I have spent the past few days cleaning and packing up our things to get our house ready to sell before we move in July. My husband is going back to school and so we’ll be literally moving across the country, from North Dakota to Mississippi! I’m sad to be leaving our families (especially since my cutie nephews live literally BLOCKS from us right now) but will definitely not miss the winters here!
We cleaned out our entire basement, so nothing is left except my workout equipment (the realtor said it could be a selling point for potential buyers to see the space as somewhere they could set up their own home gym):
Here, the lonely punching bag I got for my hubby for his birthday last year!
At the end of the day, many of our belongings were packed up into totes in our sparkling clean garage (seriously, the floor is shiny now!):
Anyhoo, enough of that–now to the eats! I had a quick gourmet breakfast of my absolute favorite granola bars, Kashi dark mocha almond (I put them on a plate so they look even fancier):
I had a craving for some chocolatey goodness at lunch, so I made a variation of my chocolate protein pudding. This time I added fiber one and raisins (yum!) as well as some coconut extract since I’m trying to empty out a bottle from the cupboard (double extra yum!!). I also had another granola bar with this, as well as some mixed nuts from the cupboard.
For the rest of the day before supper I subsisted on handfuls of one of my favorite cereals (try it if you haven’t–it’s addicting):
I didn’t photograph supper because things were really busy, but I had one of my favorite quick and easy meals, the creamy chicken flavored ramen noodles with frozen broccoli/cauliflower and some canadian bacon I got on sale last week. Mmm!
Luckily for me, my husband didn’t see me taking pictures of my food while we were trying to get everything done. But I’m happy I could snap at least a few to share with you!
I’d better get back to work. Keep in touch, and keep it real!
Question: What’s your favorite “quick” food to eat when you’re super busy?

Moves are always hard
good luck to you! My favorite quick foods are: cereal, eggs, smoothies, PB sandviches, but if all my fridge and pantry are packed I rely on healthy bars and fruits, I always have an apple in my purse and on my desk at work.
Mmm…we could totally go grocery shopping together!!
And thanks–we’ll get there, as long as we just do what we need to do and try not to think about all of the work ahead of us!
Good luck as you continue to get ready to move! I am jealous of your equipment. We have a stationary bike. a set of 6lb dumbbells and a stability ball. haha.
Lol, well at least that would be a lot easier to move! And thank you!
Best of luck in moving my friend

Thank you! We are a little stressed out right now but just have to take it one day at a time
Good luck on your move Justine!! Although it’s still the same country, it must be quite stressful moving to a new city! You reminded me of my move last week from 2 weeks ago.. ughhh.. That was painful. I didn’t even have furnitures yet I felt like it was hell for me!! And to answer your question, fav quick food = cereal with fruits and yogurt!!! I’m impressed that I had gone without it for 1 week, mainly because I was in Europe. Otherwise, cereal is the way to go!! Instant noodles does the trick too. hehehe..
Thanks so much! We have a lot to do in the next couple months for sure. Speaking of cereal…I picked up a package of 8 of the single-serve boxes to snack on on the plane trip tomorrow. But they will probably go quickly and I will miss them too!
good luck with your move! how exciting! and your protein pudding looks delish! thanks for sharing! i’m glad i found your blog!
Thank you so much–I will have to go check out your blog too!
