Eat all the things Wednesday

February 26, 2014 by MCM Mama 6 Comments

Really, it was eat.all.the.things Tuesday, but the sentiment is the same.  It was just one of those days when all I wanted to do was eat.  The day started with an early breakfast, so lunch was eaten at about 11:15.  I headed out for a run (that I really didn’t want to do, but I have some crazy days later this week) around 1:15.  I came back from my 4 mile run absolutely ravenous.

What?  It’s not like I ran that far.  Or that I ran on an empty stomach.  But I just wanted to eat and eat and eat…  Did I eat more calories than I burned? Absolutely.  Would I call it a binge?  No.  The weird part is that it felt like hunger, rather than “oh, I’m eating because I’m bored or I’m sad or I’m stressed…”  I did end up drinking quite a bit of water later in the day, so perhaps I should have tried that instead of food. {{{shrugs}}}

And I can tell you, I didn’t take pictures of everything I ate. I was too busy shoving it in my face.  Good thing I generally eat healthy and keep active, so no lasting damage will come from it. (And that run?  By a mile in, I was happy to be out there on a beautiful day with snow in the trees and on the grass, but completely clear pavement to run on.)

What I will share with you, however, is the dinner I made last night.  One of my friends recently gave me a code for a free week at Blue Apron.  I had looked at their website before, but hadn’t really considered it.  It seemed a little pricey for what it was.  But, hey, I’ll try it for free…

I’ll do a full review once I make the three meals that came with it, but our first meal tasted good.

Kumquat-Lime Glazed Tilapia

What the meal looked like in their pictures:

What my kitchen looked like when I got done cooking:

I will say that I’m not sure I’d have ever made anything like this, even if I found it on pinterest, but we did enjoy it.  I liked the combination of the different flavors way more than I expected.  I may try to replicate it in the future with a different fish (I’m not a huge fan of tilapia) and I’ll definitely add more vegetables – either more brussels sprouts with the grain or a separate vegetable in addition.  (Beer Geek added applesauce as a side dish.)

    I have a similar issue with what I prepare not really looking like what is in the picture. Go figure. Good to hear that it tasted good though.

    That tilapia recipe looks awesome – gonna have to give it a try! Don’t you hate when a recipe has to all come together at the end and your kitchen looks like a war zone? Oh, well!
    I’ve been in the same “eat all the food” boat lately – trying to reign it in because I feel like it’s getting a bit out of control.

    I think we all have hungry days! I feel like I am battling it constantly with this cold weather, trying to figure out if it’s hunger or just frustration! 😉

    As long as it taste good, who cares what it looks like 🙂 That’s a winning recipe in my book!

    The recipes sounds interesting. I’m vegan but I’ll bet I could use tofu instead of the fish. I love your “after cooking” shot … you keep things very neat and tidy. My kitchen, after cooking, looks like a bomb went off in there. LOL! I found you via the Anything Goes link-up party. Nice to “meet” you!
