Confession. I’ve been a total slacker lately on the food front.
My meals are pretty boring, and I have yet to take a picture of an entire days worth of meals. So, you’re getting a peek into the past few days.
Hey, at least it’s something, right? : )
Cinco de mayo called for avocado and black beans. Yum.
Went out to lunch one day and ordered a huge salad. The goat cheese and walnuts made it!
We got some crappy fish at the store called “Whiting,” which I am NOT a fan of. We tried to get creative and marinate it in orange juice, some spices, peppers, and onions.
Eh, it was alright. The fish kind of freaked me out though, haha.
Greek yogurt and protein bars.
Top sirloin is perfect for after the gym! As you can see I’m getting through that bag of broccoli nicely.
Of course cottage cheese with almond butter. My favorite.
This morning I tried something new.
The oat-less oat bran! I’ve seen this on Tina’s blog before and a couple other places and was pretty skeptical.
I found this other recipe on this blog for a chocolate version and figured I’d try it out. I do not have flaxseeds though and wasn’t sure what I could substitute it for.
I ended up just using 2 tbs. of cottage cheese. The verdict? It was good. But not like oatmeal at all. More like a pudding!
It’s a good way for me to eat my egg whites though because a lot of times egg whites gross me out if they are plain. And anything chocolate + almond butter is a good combo.
Do you use flaxseeds? In what?
Have you tried the “oat-less” oats?
What is one food that you absolutely HATE?
I despise mayonnaise. It freaks me out.

Thanks, Tessa
I have never tried flax seeds. I am the exact opposite, I love just plain egg whites without anything added in (although I rarely eat them that way!)

I have never tried ‘oatless oats’ but have seen them all over and would like to try them soon! I seriously live all veggies, but the one I hate: peas! Ahh one of my least favorite foods ever! Lol

So glad you tried my go-to “Oat-Less Oatmeal” recipe. The ground flax seed would have provided a thicker texture and made it a bit more like oatmeal, but it’s cool to know cottage cheese kinda worked for you. I play around with it all the time. Sometimes I add PB2. Sometimes I toss in pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice, or walnuts. I hope you give it a try again with the flax. It may give it more texture, as opposed to the cottage cheese.

I’ll have to get me some flax and try again!! Thanks
I’ve never tried the ‘oatless oats’ but I’m curious. I like a lot of different foods, but I think the one food I could say that I hate is octopus. I love squid, so I thought it would be same. It’s not. At all. Yuck.
Sarah @Blonde Bostonian recently posted..WIAW #7 All About Roasting {What I Ate Wednesday}
Not sure I would like octopus either! haha
Nope – haven’t tried oat-less oats. I like oats too much for that. haha I do like flax though. I buy the milled/ground kind, and I sprinkle it on my oats or make “flax eggs” when baking. Soooo good!

Hmmm those oatless oats sound interesting…I think I’d prefer my regular oats though haha. A food that I absolutely hate is pickles!! Gross haha
Lindsay @ In Sweetness and In Health recently posted..#PhotoadayMay Part 1
Regular oats totally beat it, but it was a different change
I’ve never heard of oatless oats but am now intrigued! I put ground flaxseed in my oatmeal everyday and in muffins & quick breads!

I have been meaning to try flaxseeds, but have not done so yet. Maybe next week.
I used to absolutely HATE onions, but now can’t get enough. So weird!

Crazy how our taste buds change, huh?
i’ve tried the oatless oats once, and they were okay. like you said, no oatmeal. i should try it again to give it another shot, but i don’t think it’ll ever compare to my beloved bowl of oats.
Ashley @ My Food ‘N’ Fitness Diaries recently posted..WIAW #33: A Sleepy Day
Nope, they never will!
Hm interesting recipe! I don’t think oatless oats could replace my beloved oat bran though. Like you said, maybe better for a pudding or something! I love cottage cheese mixed with nut butter. Delicious. I hate mushrooms and onions, yuck!
Lisa recently posted..WIAW #7
I love all the veggies! And you’re making me want cottage cheese right now haha.

I bookmarked the recipe and will definately be trying it out. Oatless oats intrigue me.

I hate onions. I have to spit it out if I bite one or I will literally get sick. :/ It makes ordering food very frustrating, especially mexican and italian.

I keep on seeing those oatless oats on Tina’s blog and I know she says they’re really good, but I’m iffy about trying them. I just can’t see how they would taste as good as oatmeal!
I actually can’t think of a food that I really hate! I’ll eat just about anything haha.
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin recently posted..WIAW #36: Third wheeling
Definitely doesn’t compare to oatmeal!
I love goat cheese, and I’ve been craving beans like crazy lately, so that salad looks fantastic! I use flax to make my night time snack which is like a eggy bread thing that I spread with goat cheese! These oat less oats look great!
Sarah @ Feeeding Brain and Body recently posted..Don’t Forget…
Yum, that sounds awesome!
no worries our food as not been anything too exciting either, can’t do too much with fruit and a lot of fruit haha

I’m totally craving top sirloin now! That needs to happen asap.
Your eats are never boring! It’s *impossible* for me to get tired of looking at delicious, healthy food, even if it’s repeated again and again. So keep the WIAW posts coming, girl.
I haven’t tried oatless oats, but I’m definitely intrigued (especially by the chocolate version). Anything with peanut butter on top is an automatic winner in my book.
I eat flax every night on top of my cottage cheese (with PB, too), and my most hated food is dried apricots. I can’t stand them!
Sara @ Nourish and Flourish recently posted..Creamy Coffee and Color Crazed
I can always look at peoples food too ;D I need to get me some flax!
Blech I hate mayo too. It is sooo repulsive to me. I used to eat it all the time as a kid, and now I can’t even stomach the idea of a small taste. I use flax seed in my smoothies. Either whole, or crushed. It gives a nice nutty flavor.

The oatless oats have me curious! I may have to try this out!! Cottage cheese freaks me out. Even if I could have milk, I could’t get past the look of it!!
