Another week, another What I Ate Wednesday. I’ve been spending a lot of time on writing projects and creating materials for upcoming events this week, so I’ve been working at my desk at home a lot. After working Friday through Sunday at the hospital, I was more than ready for a slower-paced work-from-home Monday. Waking up with a head cold Sunday morning kind of forced me to bring things down a notch. My body was basically like, “Jess, seriously, this is bullish!t,” so I cleared a few things from my calendar and stuck close to the writing cave home for most of Monday. Here’s what I ate in between blowing my nose and typing:
Breakfast was very similar to the one I posted last Wednesday, minus the figs. My bowl had oats, ground flax, half a mutsu apple, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and 1/3 cup egg whites. I added some peanut butter on top right before eating. 
Lunch was also similar to the one in my last WIAW post in that it also involved salmon. I swear I eat things besides salmon. This was leftover from a filet I’d made the night before, and I enjoyed it with arugula salad that also had roasted veggies (zucchini, cauliflower, eggplant, and pepper), avocado, and balsamic. For dessert, I had the other half of the apple from breakfast. 
I am on a roll with forgetting to take pictures of snacks, but conveniently, I once again had Greek yogurt with coconut flour, cocoa powder, and blackberries. 
Dinner was kind of a “what’s in the fridge that needs to get used up” meal. I steamed a sweet potato in the microwave and added some kale, roasted brussels & beets, and then topped it with a maple sausage from the farmers market and a fried egg. Oh—and a little goat cheese, yes. That was a good idea. 
Before bed I had a sliced banana, as I often do, though not as much lately. Cheers to getting out of ruts, sort of! 
What foods do you eat over and over?

I think your food looks delicious. I eat a lot of the same things because I like to have a routine. I usually eat the same group of foods for a few weeks, then lose interest and move on to the next.
This past month I was all about salmon and sweet potatoes. I think I had salmon+veggies+sweet potato oven fries almost every night for dinner! Now I am over them and I am loving stir fries with udon or soba noodles, veggies and shrimp or tofu. Who knows how long it will last.
I eat the same breakfast every day: oatmeal with nut butter. It’s so versatile that I don’t get bored. I crave warm oats every single day during the winter. Summer is for smoothies though!
It’s so fascinating how we go through these phases—sometimes it makes sense, as in when the seasons change, but sometimes it seems totally random!
