in Alaska, What I Ate Wednesday

Well I’m one week down in this crazy new adventure. And I love it. This weekend Q and I went to a local permafrost exhibit (we are dorks, I know), but apparently we aren’t the only dorks in Fairbanks since the whole exhibit had been sold out for hours once we got there. Instead of letting the adventure go to waste, we stopped by the Alaskan pipeline (I’m still a tourist!). Pretty nifty.

Q and I have been eating basically every meal at home. I’m loving it. I feel better, healthier and we get to spend precious time together cooking in the kitchen.


Breakfast – 9:00AM
I had to bring my oats tradition to Fairbanks! So it was oats and berries for breakfast. And coffee Q made at 5am and left for me (I have a pretty good deal I know). 
Lunch – 1:30PM
I met Q on post during his lunch break and then came back home to make myself some food. I was really hungry when I got back, so I turned to eggs . I added some corn, black beans, roasted red pepper, avocado and salsa. It was the perfect, quick and filling lunch.
Dinner – Last Night
We decided to start a Taco Tuesday tradition in our home. We both love Mexican and have been having a ball with it. Last night we roasted poblano peppers and then sauteed onions, mushrooms, and corn to go in our tacos. We added some grilled chicken, rice and black beans and Q made a lime crema from Greek yogurt (yogurt, chives, lime juice). These were DELICIOUS.
Hope everyone is having a great week!
