Hey there, my lovely foodie friends! It’s been a bit since I’ve posted – sorry!! Life has felt a bit overwhelming lately with all of the things I’m finding I need to wrap up. I’m dealing with organizing internship stuff, as well as final projects & finishing things up for the school semester (& my FINAL semester at UWGB – almost done with my undergrad!!).
I haven’t been the best at getting great photos of each & everything I eat, but I’d like to do another edition of Peek at My Plate… it’s fun & I just can’t get enough of talking about food.
Most of my pics are from Monday, but a few sporadic ones from some of the other days. I guess this is kind of an overview of what I’ve been loving to eat lately. 
Since I’ve been feeling so busy & stressed lately, one thing, ok, two things that have been helping keep me going are not actually food, but drinks… coffee for my school days… and my delicious & soothing hot mug of Your Tea Sleep Tea each night about a half hour before bed.
If you’re looking for a great tea to help you sleep & relax a bit after a hectic day… this is the stuff!! It’s a lifesaver, & I’m not even a huge tea lover normally, but loving the Sleep Tea. I think it’s even better in my Cookie Monster mug.
Ok, now that I covered my favorite drinks – on to the food!!
**If you’re new to my blog I follow a very low-carb ketogenic style diet… not only is it delicious & very #fatisying, but it’s helped me so much with mood, weight, clear headedness, energy, & not getting so darn hangry.
Breakfast…
I’m pretty sure I had some coffee blended with grass-fed butter & MCT oil on Monday before class, but that’s not fun to look at. I had this delicious breakfast the other day… 2 local free-range eggs hard-boiled, hollandaise sauce, Applegate bacon, & sauerkraut.
Lunches…
On Monday I had the last slice of the Pizza Frittata I’d made over the weekend (recipe from Against All Grain). Then, on Tuesday I had a taco-less taco salad with grass-fed ground beef, romaine, salsa, guacamole, & organic sour cream. OMG. Soo good!!

Afternoon Snacks…
I’ve been loving on my macadamia nuts still, as well as the occasional Pork Clouds (pork rinds). Rolling a bit of grass-fed butter up in an organic slice of pepper jack cheese has become a new favorite as well.
Dinner…
Monday night we didn’t feel like putting much effort into dinner so we got delivery… WingStreet wings. I had a small order of their traditional Garlic Parmesan & then added some celery & homemade ranch dressing to the side. Yum! Last night I felt like breakfast food, aka brinner, so I had steamed broccoli under 2 poached free-range local eggs & hollandaise sauce. On the side I had some Applegate bacon & sauerkraut.
Dessert…
After dinner I often like to indulge in a little something that feels sweet and/or decadent… the other night I had one of my Low-Carb Fudge Bites & then a Blueberry Coconut Fat Bomb that I made with coconut butter, coconut oil, & organic blueberries (added a drop or two of lemon stevia as well). So good & yet simple & healthy!

Well, there ya have it… that’s what a typical day of eating (one or other of those meals) looks like for this dietetics student! These foods keep me happy, healthy, & satisfied.
