To give her followers a behind-the-scenes look at the action, Molly Yeh posted a quick recap of everything she eats in a day while filming her Food Network showGirl Meets Farm.
Yeh, who has hostedGirl Meets Farmsince it debuted in 2018, is known for her bubbly pep, popular cookbooks and fun fare that combines Midwestern dishes with Jewish and Chinese flavors. That’s why we were excited to get a sneak peek of whatGirl Meets Farmrecipes she’s working on in her recap video, and she didn’t disappoint. We’ve broken down all the fun snacks and televised meals that make up Yeh’s very full day, so read on for all the details.

What Molly Yeh Eats in a Day
Breakfast
To start the morning off with a bang, Yeh makes her daughter, 5-year-old Bernie, a bowl of one of her favorite breakfasts, which they’ve named Blueberry Delight. Blueberry Delight consists of frozen blueberries, a dollop of almond butter, a pinch of cinnamon and some almond milk in a bowl. But since Bernie doesn’t always finish her breakfast, Yeh steps in to polish it off.
“My first breakfast is Bernie’s leftovers, a true toddler-parent meal,” she joked in her caption.

Blueberry Delight sounds like a pretty fun brekkie for any age range. Plus, the health benefits of blueberries, like their ability to decrease chronic inflammation, combined with theprotein content of almond butter, make it a healthy option, too. To add some substance to Yeh’s bowl of berries, she also grabs an apple and a handful of cashews before getting to work in the kitchen. We think Yeh would love ourLemon-Blueberry Overnight Oats, which are also made with blueberries and almond milk, plus rolled oats for more staying power between meals. It’s a great make-ahead recipe for busy days.
Snack
If you’ve ever wondered if Food Network hosts actually get to enjoy the delicious dishes they make each day, Yeh has an answer for you. She spends her snack time munching on little bites of what she’s prepared for episodes ofGirl Meets Farmthat day, which include a tahini-vanilla doughnut and a smiley-face tater tot off the top of a hot dish recipe.
Lunch
Yeh hangs out with theGirl Meets Farmcrew for a lunch of local takeout. They opt to pick up dishes from House of Punjab, a local Indian restaurant, where Yeh says her favorites arechana masala(a chickpea curry),dal tadka(spiced lentils) and garlic naan. Though eating out every day for lunch can get expensive, it makes sense that Yeh and her crew would order takeout during a long day of cooking.Choosing plant-based items like chana masala and dal tadka, which center on chickpeas and lentils respectively, is a great way to make sure you’re enjoying a balance of protein, fiber and veggies each day. Add a little garlic naan on the side, and our mouths are pretty much watering.
