- Meal and Snack Inspiration
Hi friends, how’s your week going so far?? I’m popping in today to show some recent eats that can hopefully provide some inspiration for you!
Remember, not every meal has to be perfect or calculated. Part of intuitive eating is the fun of spontaneity and going with the flow. But, being intuitive can also include packing lunches, and doing some meal prep too. There’s definitely a balance.
Here’s what some recent meals have looked like:
Breakfast:
Creamy overnight oats with yogurt and smashed cookies in this delicious peanut butter that tastes like cookie dough.
Toast with PB and banana, an egg bake, and sweet potato oatmeal bake -> Sometimes, I want a bit of everything.
More oatmeal bake.
Cinnamon Raisin bagel with strawberry cream cheese. Extra cream cheese please.
Snacks:
New Kind protein bars. Loving these.
I Heart Keenwah Chocolate Covered Puffs <– Ya’ll, I’m recently mildly obsessed with these. They have a chocolate sea salt and a chocolate peanut butter that both make my heart so happy.
Blood oranges. And cara cara oranges. I am ALL about the citrus fruits right now.
Rice cakes with PB, popcorn and sparkling water
Yogurt with cocoa powder, graham crackers and frozen mango. Random, but it works.
Lunches:
Random salads with leftovers, hard boiled eggs and apples.
Tuna + avocado + sea salt + a little bit of mayo
More tuna salad with citrus. I told you I’m obsessed.
Viva Chicken salad, because they are close to work 🙂
Dinners:
Chicken pot pie. Had some this past weekend at home in RI and it was so comforting. Hadn’t had it in so long!
We didn’t make it from scratch – there’s a great local spot that makes it and you can buy it frozen. It’s great for groups. We also had a delicious lasagna one night, but I forgot to take pictures.
Pacific Foods Butternut squash soup + veggies + fried chicken tenders.
This was my first time trying Pacific Foods Soups and I really liked them! Huge plus that they have 10 grams of protein.
Mac’ n cheese with cauliflower and pancetta. This was a Hello Fresh meal.
SALMON! Loving this sheetpan recipe with minimal clean up.
Chili and cornbread! My sister’s boyfriend made a delicious chili for the superbowl. And he taught me a secret – put the cornbread on the BOTTOM of the bowl and pour the chili on top. Game changer.
Desserts
Pinkberry at the airport! I hadn’t had it in so long.
Superbowl dessert spread. My mom knows how to set up an ice cream spread with toppings.
I’m still gravitating towards ready made or easily cooked meals lately. But that doesn’t mean food can’t taste good or you can’t look forward to it.
I actually do look forward to the few times a week I am cooking because I’m getting rid of ingredients, but also, most of the recipes have been on my list for so long and I’m finally getting around to making them.
What have you been into lately?

Support Bucket List TummyOooohhh, so much good food!!
Lately I can’t get enough of brownies We made three batches in the last week for different reasons and I’ve been having 1 or 2 every day
OMG that salad from Viva is my all-time favorite. SO good and filling
I love it!
I cannot get enough of cara cara oranges this winter. They are so refreshing! I have been trying to eat more fish, so I am thinking I need to try tuna sandwiches/toast.
Tuna on toast is my favorite. Great with some avocado too!
So many good ideas in this most! Especially those desserts:) I like to meal prep for a few meals and the leave a few open for going out to eat or cooking something when I have more time.
I love that balance too – sometimes by the end of the week I don’t want what i’ve prepped, so going out sounds good
I am obsessed with overnight oatmeal! You name it, and I’ve probably tried it! Looks like your trip home was a success!
It was! Thanks, Sally! 🙂
Now you have me craving chili and cornbread! So cozy in the winter. Recently I’ve been SUPER into avocado, kale, and cooking with ghee. I also was majorly craving baked goods and bread this weekend, so I used my day off Monday to make some. So satisfying 🙂 !
xxMeah
I haven’t cooked much with ghee – do you like the flavor? Good use of a day off!
Feed that baby!
Super Bowl food was great at my house but I am still mourning over the Patriot loss…
Woah so many good things! :-0 I’ve been loving chickpea “tuna” salad, veggie pasta, and baked sweet potatoes filled with veggies, refried beans, and salsa!
Now I need to make some chickpea tuna salad – that stuff is amazing!
Move over chicken wings – you guys know how to do the Super Bowl right! I can’t wait until I’m craving all things citrus and ice cream…. because that will mean its summer! I’m still all about wraps with extra sauce right now.
I usually crave them in summer too. But I just can’t get enough citrus this winter.
I tried cara cara oranges the other week on your recommendation. SO GOOD!! I loved them.
Also I’ve had that Hello Fresh meal before and it’s delicious!
Aren’t they amazing?!
I have been all about the blood oranges recently as well, so good! I need to get me some chicken pot pie. I usually make them st least once or twice in the winter and just haven’t gotten around to it.
Nothing like homemade chicken pot pie 🙂
