A Week of Eats

A while ago on Instagram I asked if you’d like to see my daily meals, to which the overwhelming reply was “yes”. So, here I am, sharing the things I ate throughout a random week this summer. My goal is to give you an idea of what a week of normal eating looks like for me, and to hopefully inspire you if you’re in a cooking rut.

Inevitably, I forgot to take pictures of handfuls of nuts, random bites of chocolate, and a few odds and ends I ate here and there when I was hungry and not thinking about documenting anything. Translation: these photos are not every morsel of food that went into my stomach in a single week, but just my best attempt at photographing most of what I ate throughout the course of each day. 

They’re not styled, beautiful photos (I snapped them all on my iPhone…), but they’re what food looks life in my real life, and sometimes I think that’s just as important to see on here as the styled, professional food photos! 

Let me know if this type of post is helpful, and I’ll continue doing them as the seasons change and the type of meals I’m craving starts to shift with the changing weather. 

Enjoy!
