I’ve been extremely lazy this week.
I just don’t feel like cooking, blogging, cleaning… nothing.
I think it’s because we’re about to have a LOT going on. In preparation, I’m slacking. Does anyone else do that? Seems legit…
The above position is basically how I’m typing this post right now.
Read on for my day of eats, and link up to Jenn’s WIAW baby right here today.
*YAWN*
Breakfast:
The usual morning cocktail, followed by my vitamin gummies and coffee.
Breakfast was simple, but delicious. Scrambled egg whites and smashed avocado over half a pita.
Lunch:
I did manage to get to the gym for a workout. It’s pretty toasty here, so I have to had one of my blueberry açaí protein bowls to cool off/refuel. They’re actually really easy yo make, so it fits with my lazy theme.
Snack:
Also fitting for my lazy theme is a protein cookie snack. I’m still working through all the goodies I got from Expo West! These cookies from Buff Bakes were some of my favorites. Of course I already ate the flavor I liked best – Chocolate Chocolate Chip.
Dinner:
To wrap up my lazy day, we had a charcuterie/cheese board for dinner. Plus bubbles. In my defense, it is too hot to turn on the oven. 😉

I’m really hoping to get motivated enough to post my Easter recipe before Easter. *fingers crossed*
What is your go-to when you don’t feel like cooking?
Have you ever made an açaí bowl at home?
Jen @ Chase the Red Grape says
When I don’t feel like cooking my go to is a cheese toastie or I grab a premade pizza base and top with whatever is lurking around the fridge!
It must be so tempting to reach for your stash of goodies from the expo when you need a snack – God you good a good haul from there!
Laura says
I actually reached in for a pizza 3x and was too lazy to turn on the oven. In my defense… it’s HOT.
meredith (The Cookie ChRUNicles says
omg, I am totally in that phase right now! actually, I’ve been in this phase of not wanting to work, blog, cook or do much of anything that requires effort for a while now lol. it’s terrible.
Laura says
I feel like everyone is there. It’s spring… I’d rather be playing. Because I’m 12. 😉
Melis says
So I know that was a lazy day, but it still looks delicious! I could go for some good cheese and meat for dinner! And of course bubbles. I just got a Vitamix, so I will have to try that bowl. Especially if it’s easy!
Laura says
Are you loving the Vitamix??? When I first got mine I think I made 15 meals in it the first week.
Susie @ Suz says
Don’t ask how many omelets and bowls of kashi and oats that I have had lately. Basically, I stick to breakfast foods.
Laura says
I’ve been randomly craving cereal lately. Specifically, Cheerios with banana on top. I think I’m regressing.
Faith VanderMolen says
I feel ya. Take it easy chica! And your brekkie makes me want avocado so bad! And bread…always bread.
Laura says
Thanks friend. There’s never a bad time for avocado toast!
Jess @ Keeping It Real Food says
Energy saving mode! I love it! I definitely have those times when I’ve been feeling overloaded and want to just unplug. I don’t always do it, but I’m actually kind of proud of myself when I have those “lazy” days.
Laura says
I’ve just had too many in a row. We decided next week is motivation week!
Kelly @ Kelly Runs For Food says
Mmmm, charcuterie. Best dinner ever. I also had some avocado toast this week and it was amazing. Whenever I don’t feel like cooking, which is most of the time, I just pick at stuff until I’m not hungry anymore. It’s really pathetic, lol.
Laura says
Not pathetic at all! It describes my day today, actually. 🙂
Patrick@looneyforfood.com says
I’m ashamed to say my fall back is frozen pizza. That avocado toast and egg look so good!
Laura says
No shame in that! Childhood classic!
Emily says
So I’ve had the Buff Bake nut butters but not the cookies… 🙂 Are they like Lenny’s and Larry’s?
Laura says
I’ve never had Lenny and Larry’s (not a fan of the macros), but I really like these cookies! They’re a good pre-workout when you just need a little something to keep you from getting hungry.
Patricia @Sweet and Strong says
Snacks, cheese and crackers are ALWAYS my go to dinner when I don’t feel like cooking. Your boards always look delicious!
Laura says
Thank you! I actually prefer making a board to cooking… something I never thought I’d say!
Kate says
My snack today is literally a bag of freeze dried strawberries. I’m with you on lazy.
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
ooh your acai bowl looks good! I actually have a hard time doing nothing!
Laura says
Thanks! I should clarify… I’m not actually doing nothing… just nothing work-related like I’m supposed to be doing. HA!
Nicole @ Foodie Loves Fitness says
I’ve been making a smoothie or smoothie bowl every day lately! Sometimes I do acai but lately I’ve been making em with frozen banana and either frozen cherries or strawberries. So easy, healthy & refreshing! And I love that type of lazy dinner… champagne never hurts either! 😉
Laura says
I need to get more bananas… I go through phases. Not what champagne though. That’s a permanent phase. 😉
Heather McClees says
I totally feel ya. Spring’s arrival always brings up this sense of dread in me for some reason. It’s like I can’t stay motivated to do anything. I don’t know what you have coming up, but good luck! This too shall pass. 🙂 In the meantime, yes to the smoothie bowls. That’s at least one reason I love warm weather! 😉
Laura says
Thank you! It’ll be exciting… but a lot.
GiGi Eats says
If you don’t know what my go-to is when I don’t feel like cooking, then um, I am not sure we can be friends anymore. HA HA HA HA!
Laura says
You’re a raw fish whore. That’s not a euphemism.
Mary says
Sounds like a serious case of delayed jetlag to me Laura lol 😉 OMG now that’s my kind of dinner!! Characterie / cheese board and a little bubbly? Yes Please
Laura says
Delayed jet lag – I LOVE IT! I swear, you’re my long distance best friend whom I’ve never met.
Luce says
I love the breakfast. I think I had this in Sydney almost every day, but it was served, because I was too lazy to cook one single meal during these three weeks…..and now I’m financially ruined. Surprise, surprise.
Laura says
I’m guessing the bikinis didn’t help… 😉 Love you!
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says
I will take two of your dinner please, hold the meat.
Laura says
I’ll eat yer meat. #TWSS
