  • Hi, I'm Ashleigh Graham, and this is everything I eat in a day.

  • Mhm.

  • The first thing I do when I wake up is well, I don't set an alarm because Isaac is my alarm and it's this little baby monitor and all of a sudden around six o'clock my here and I go and I get Isaac and then we come back to bed and we have snuggles and I feed him in bed.

  • And then we usually turn on Maverick City Christian worship music.

  • It's like rock music, and he jams out for like, a good 15 minutes.

  • And then that's when I go into the kitchen.

  • I am a high, high, high caffeine coffee drinker.

  • I can't believe I'm telling you this, but I have 3 to 4 cups a day.

  • Do not judge me.

  • Do not come from me in the comments.

  • It is my life.

  • I drink about a gallon of water a day.

  • Thio, you know, counteract all the calf brain.

  • I'm not a tea girl.

  • I take my coffee hot and black sometimes like a lot for a special coffee.

  • Like a latte without milk.

  • My favorite coffee place down the street is called Butler Living Dumbo so good in the morning, I eat breakfast right away.

  • I am a big breakfast eater also in breast feeding, and we have to take in so many calories when we're breastfeeding.

  • So I feel like a bottomless pit at all times.

  • Usually I make scrambled eggs, and that's also what Isaac as well.

  • What I like to do is take out this little frying pan, and I spray a little bit of coconut oil on it just a little bit.

  • And I take two eggs, put him in, put some oat milk in season it with a little Himalayan sea salt, and then I scramble it in the pan while it's getting hot.

  • I kind of like a runny, and the oat milk brings this fluffy nous to it.

  • Oh, it's so good!

  • And at the same time I'm putting in a gluten free bread.

  • I am obsessed with bread, but recently I cut gluten out game changer.

  • If you are tired and your joints her just cut out gluten for a couple of days, I saw the difference immediately, so I like to put a little bit of dairy free butter on my toast.

  • I kind of go a little bit ham because in my head I'm like it's not really butter.

  • It's dairy free butter.

  • It's the same galleries, whatever.

  • And then I put my eggs on top and I eat it like an open face sandwich.

  • Oh, and then at the same time, I don't really ever sit down because I have a little baby that's usually watching marijuana in a high chair.

  • And then I'll probably be making my second cup of coffee and depending on if I wanna have a juice, I love the brand.

  • Natalie's It's like this perfect, like a little bit of tartness.

  • That's my morning breakfast and then I can get my day started, which means I'm probably going straight to the computer and I'm answering emails after email because I like to get my work done in the morning.

  • So I feel much more accomplished at the end of the day.

  • And a lot of what I've been doing right now is my podcast.

  • Pretty big deal prepping for it, getting ready for my interviews, researching who I actually wanna be interviewing for days on set.

  • What I'll do is my favorite bone broth is from this place in New York called Rodeo.

  • It is show e.

  • Keep them in my freezer so I'll pop one of those in my bag when I'm there, I'll maybe have someone ordered me a gluten free cookie.

  • And that's kind of like what I'll have on set to keep my energy up.

  • And I'll probably have another coffee.

  • Some other snacks that I like to have on set nearby when I'm working are peanut M and M's, specifically peanut M and M's.

  • They warmed my heart and avocado with sea salt.

  • A little bit of olive oil.

  • Oh, the creaminess off the avocado.

  • Speaking of snacks, I love anything uber wet, called and crunchy.

  • So where were we?

  • Lunch.

  • Usually what I eat for lunch, I will have a sweet green salad.

  • When I was pregnant, I thought that I was going to be craving like Mac and cheese for a chicken all of my indulgences.

  • But I just needed like a big ole sweet green salad, sometimes two for lunch when I was pregnant.

  • But now that I'm not eating for two, I just have one.

  • I usually like to have a remain lettuce Parmesan chips with an avocado, chicken, carrots, cucumber, honey mustard or a spicy chipotle dressing.

  • I'm like, really thinking about this, because now my mouth is watering and I might need this week greens out.

  • So dinner.

  • Usually I'm having dinner around 6 p.m. That's also by the nature of the fact that Isaac goes down around 8 p.m. My friends called the early word special, or Grannies Delight.

  • You could always find a reservation at 6 p.m. In New York City, but also I just feel better when I eat early and then that way later.

  • If I'm gonna have, like, a little snack, I could have something light.

  • But I don't feel like I'm heavy.

  • When I go to bed, I don't cook, so I'm kind of at the mercy of whoever's around me to cook for me or delivery.

  • But my husband Oh, God bless Justin because he can cook.

  • For the first two weeks after I had had Isaac, we ate the same thing every day, creatures of habit.

  • But we had lamb stew every night, and it is unbelievable.

  • It takes two hours to make.

  • He cooks it all on the stove, and it's like lamb, purple potatoes, whole garlic.

  • And then he puts it in the oven for an hour and a half.

  • And when it comes out, it kind of is like You have to stir it because it looks kind of gross.

  • And then all of a sudden it's like but it's super delicious, super filling, and especially after you have a baby, they say to eat lots of, like, really hot nutritional food.

  • And the meat that we get is from my favorite butcher in Park Slope, called Fleischer's that got a farm upstate.

  • We know where the animals came from, and I just really love their butchery.

  • Also on nights that aren't, You know, we don't have two hours to make a lamb stew.

  • And when I say we I mean Justin, he'll make this thing called General Chicken.

  • And it's not generals chicken like Chinese food.

  • It's just called general chicken because it's literally just general chicken on the stovetop with garlic, salt and pepper.

  • I think like he adds, chickens dog, and it just makes the chicken so moist on the inside and we'll call it a night.

  • We'll try to be super healthy in the evenings because I probably ate way too many peanut M and M's throughout the day.

  • On Thursday nights, Justin and I due date night because you know, to have a happy marriage do date nights, I will treat myself toe to tequila.

  • Two margaritas.

  • Oh, I love the salt around the rim.

  • I love the tartness with a sweetness.

  • Sometimes I'll do a mess.

  • Calif.

  • I feel smoky, but usually just like to stick to like a regular tequila.

  • I don't have a favorite brand yet, but, you know, maybe I'll be like many of the other men and make my own.

  • Okay, just putting that out there.

  • Then we go toe Alamar, usually, which is my favorite local restaurant in Dumbo.

  • And I always get the branzino fileted with a side of broccoli, and I start with the endive salad.

  • 00 the crunch.

  • It's like a cucumber.

  • Frickin love cucumbers.

  • It's just so good.

  • I'm not gonna lie.

  • I do order it out like probably three times a week.

  • It's amazing.

  • My favorite food city has to be Calabria, Italy.

  • Justin's family lives in the south of Italy, and they live in this little town called Calabria.

  • Oh my, I mean just like literally anything you can think of that has to do with Italy.

  • They make it homemade right there in the Little Beach house.

  • So my absolutely favorite thing to eat is the kennels.

  • Get this.

  • It's a hot summer day, so we're sitting on their porch.

  • We're looking at the beach, it's gorgeous and a guy rolls up in a Vespa and he knocks on the door and just hands Justin's cousin a bag.

  • And it's the cream that goes inside of the Connelly and he puts it in the freezer, and he's like, That's what we'll have tonight.

  • So after we have our big ass dinner and my stomach is like out to here full, we then just in gorge on these Connolly's and you make them yourself and you know that I go in the next morning, we have it with breakfast, and now I invented my own way of eating the cannoli for breakfast, and I was putting it on watermelon.

  • Call me crazy, but it waas like a miracle of explosions in my mouth, and I can't wait to go back to Italy next year for late night snacking.

  • I'll give Isaac a bath.

  • I'll put him down and then I have some me time.

  • So that's usually when all either pull out my frozen dark chocolate out of my freezer.

  • Because I think that dark chocolate frozen is the best.

  • And I'll just do a little Just break it off.

  • Suck on it.

  • Oh, I love it.

  • And one of my favorite things to eat is sliced apples.

  • Pink ladies, exactly.

  • Pink ladies drizzled with peanut butter on top.
