Happy What I Ate Wednesday!

Today’s eats are all from yesterday– enjoy!

[From left to right and top to bottom]
1. Pre six mile run snack- stuffed date with almond butter. almond milk, and water. 2. Breakfast- cinnamon apple protein oats with almond butter on top. 3. Lunch- leftover cocoa chili with daiya shreds & veganaise and cornbread. 4. Snack- fruit & veggie leather from TJs. 5. Dinner- repurposed leftovers, mushrooms + thai veggies sauteed in key lime cilantro taco seasoning sauce and chili peppers with adobo sauce over leftover masa with avocado. It looks huge but I didn’t eat the 5-6 huge chili peppers in the bowl. 6. Dessert- chocolate covered frozen bananas.

It’s time for another What I ate Wednesday post. These eats are from this past Monday, enjoy :) And like always if you want to find out more about wiaw or you want to link up, check out Jenn’s blog Peas and Crayons for more info.

{5:30 a.m.} Pre-workout snack

Before going to a 5:45 cycling class I snacked on the list crumb of a spinach cheddar scone that my mom brought me from Michigan.

They’re from a local bakery that uses good, real ingredients. They’re tasty too!

Class was tough but exhilerating, I left a sweaty mess but feeling great :)

{7:15 a.m.} Breakfast

Breakast was lemon poppyseed overnight oats with walnuts and cookie butter on top. I tried to use the same recipe as my lemon poppyseed oatmeal but didn’t realize that some of the lemon extract must burn off in the warm version and my overnight oats tasted like lemon pine-sol. Ick! I managed to dilute them a bit with almond milk but had to have a small cup of cereal afterwards to get the aftertaste out of my mouth.

From now on I’m sticking with lemon chobani for lemon-flavored overnight oats! With breakfast I enjoyed a large mug of Starbucks blonde roast with soy creamer and an adora disc.

My dual breakfasts held me over nicely until lunch time, no morning snack necessary!

{11:45 a.m.} Lunch

I happily enjoyed the last third of my grilled cheese sandwich from Friday night. It was a little soggy (I ate it with a fork and knife) but tasted just as good as if it were fresh.

I also had a small handful of my favorite new desk snack, sahale snacks sing buri cashews.

{3:00 p.m.} Afternoon snack

Before I headed over to my evening class I snacked on an apple while finishing up some work.

{7:45 p.m.} Dinner

Dinner was a duad of broccli slaw stir-fry with mushrooms, onions, tofu, and siracha

And half of the leftover fried taro with peanut sauce.

As delicious as this meal was I’m not sure it was worth the resulting fiber baby.

{8:30 p.m.} Dessert

Even a fiber baby can’t keep me away from dessert so I enjoyed some homemade banana pudding. This pudding was so delicious that Ian and I finished it off in about 2 days. Crazy.

In addition to the above food, I drank copious amounts of water on Monday. I’m not sure if it was cycling-related but I know my salty stir-fry didn’t help. Just call me camel from now on.

Now your turn, tell me what’s the best thing you ate today?

It’s that time again, here is this week’s what I ate Wednesday post!

Also, today I’m documenting my Wednesday eats and I don’t have class or work on Wednesdays. This means I usually camp out in my apartment on my laptop and do homework all day so my eats are a little atypical in that I don’t have to pack a lunch and I have the opportunity to cook during the day.

{7:20 a.m.} Pre-run snack

I started with a date stuffed with peanut butter and the last dregs of a bottle of plain kefir. For some reason this morning, my usual fuel wasn’t enough so I also had a handful of Love Crunch Carrot Cake granola and chased it with almond milk before heading out the door.

{9:30 a.m.} Breakfast

I’ve been wanting to try quinoa for breakfast for awhile but haven’t had time (or a good recipe) to throw it all together. This morning I tried OhShineOn’s peanut butter quinoa with apples and honey and it was really good! It filled me up in a completely different way than oatmeal.

{12:45 p.m.} Lunch

I’m trying to spice up my veggie life and picked up some different [too many] vegetables at Trader Joe’s last weekend. One of them was cauliflower, it may not be crazy exotic, but for some reason I rarely ever buy it.

To make this salad I roasted some cauliflower at 400 degrees for 30 minutes and then set the broiler on high for another 3 minutes. I added the cauliflower to some arugula and topped everything with tahini and bone suckin’ sauce. I loved every bite of this salad!

I also had half of a warm baked plum with greek yogurt and granola.

{2:00 p.m.} Snack

I planned to have a small lunch so I could make a smoothie this afternoon. I blended 1 small banana (not frozen but would have been better if it was), 3 T oats, 1 cup almond milk, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/2 tsp vanilla, cinnamon, and a few shakes of pumpkin pie spice. The pumpkin pie spice was a late addition but really made the flavors pop! A smoothie isn’t a smoothie without some crunch, so I added some Love Crunch granola on top ;) .

{6:00 p.m.} Dinner

I made a stirfry with broccoli slaw, mushrooms, carrots, cashews, green beans, and my leftover rice from Le Colonial. I used the normal sauces (soy, teriyaki) but also added in some yellow curry sauce and red pepper flakes. I loved the taste and didn’t need to add siracha like I normally do!

{7:30 p.m.} Dessert

A How Sweet breakfast cookie. I made a few subsitutions but pretty much stuck to the recipe. Very yummy!

And that’s pretty much it [minus the random nibbles of hummus and veggies or pretzels throughout the day...]

Have a great Wednesday night!

Today is my first What I ate Wednesday post, I hope you enjoy :)

7:30 a.m. Pre-Run snack

A peanut butter stuffed date and about half of a bottle of chocolate coconut water. I ususally eat more before medium-long runs but my stomach felt a little off this morning.

9:30 a.m. Breakfast

I was hungry after running 10 miles, so I dug right into the Baked Banana-Blueberry Oatmeal I made last night (recipe credit to Sarah at The Flying Onion). Baking yesterday saved me some time this morning, so all I had to do was warm it up, top it with sunflower seed butter, and enjoy it with coffee and soy creamer (x2!).

1:00 p.m. Lunch

Breakfast held me over for a really long time today! Lunch was zucchini fries (half with breadcrumbs and half without) and a new-to-me type of fake meat, Lightlife chick’n tenders. They tenders don’t have a lot of scary ingredients (always a plus) but they taste a little weird. I probably won’t buy them again.

 I also had a clementine.

2:30 p.m. Snack

After a quick trip to Target my stomach was growling so I had a brown rice cake with cream cheese and fig jam.

6:00 p.m. Dinner

I’m trying to use up leftovers/veggies before going out of town this weekend so I had some cheeze-y kale with wheatberries and cornbread crumbles for dinner. I also snacked on some unpictured veggies with horseradish hummus while making this.

6:30 Dessert

No yogurt yet today so 2% plain greek yogurt, walnuts, cashews, cinnamon, and warmed blueberries.

I usually like to have dessert right after dinner, a “close the kitchen” type of thing, but it’s early enough that I may go back for another snack later.

But that in a nutshell is what I ate today. Have a great night!
