What I Ate Wednesday

What I Ate Wednesday

June 27, 2012 by ·

I seriously can’t believe it’s Wednesday already! And surprisingly I haven’t been snacking all that much! Maybe it’s because I’ve been eating large and healthy meals to keep me full. None the less, as always, thank you to Jenn @ Peas and Crayons for hosting!

 Shh, don’t tell! This is what I’ve been eating for breakfast (and dessert! ) Blackberry pie with blackberry chocolate mousse!

For lunches I have made pattypan squash filled enchiladas! Ohhh, yummy and spicy! These things are super portable too.

I also have had Bengali Curry! It’s filled with potatoes and hard boiled eggs. Pretty neat huh? Come back Friday for the recipe, you won’t be dissapointed, promise!

I’ve also been indulging in Thai green curry with zucchini! Isn’t Thai a wonderful way to get veggies? I love the flavor combinations of citrus, spicy, sweet, and salty. Want the recipe? Click here!

I haven’t had many snacks this week, but what I have had is caprese! Look out tomorrow for the Thursday tip of making vegan/dairy free caprese!

 


While I love the pie, I have to say my favorite was the Thai green curry. The bengali curry is very close though!

What was your favorite thing you ate this past week?

What I Ate Wednesday – Upcoming Posts

June 20, 2012 by ·

You’ve probably noticed I’ve been MIA lately. So sorry about that! I have been pulled away from my job and normal life the past few days. I’m back though and ready to posts all of these recipes that I meant to post sooner! Look for changes to this post throughout today (Wednesday) as I create links to the pictures you see here.

As always, the lovely WIAW party is hosted by Jen at Peas and Crayons. You should check out her blog if you haven’t already!

Hopefully I can also posts some breakfast pictures. I had two bananas this morning, does that truly count as breakfast? Yeah, didn’t think so. It’s okay though because I will have amazing breakfast pictures soon. Anyways, the pictures of food that I keep meaning to post…..

Kohlrabi Curry

Speedy Marinara  (Don’t judge the picture, I played with lighting forever)

 Stuffed Mushrooms (click for recipe)

Of course it is June and we are focussing on sensible snacking. My snacks this week haven’t been perfect as I haven’t been in my normal daily activities. I have however been snacking on carrots dipped in homemade BBQ sauce! I know it sounds weird, but trust me. It’s my trade off for not eating fattening BBQ potato chips!

My “unhealthy” snacks lately are larabars and energy “waffles”. It’s not so much that they’re unhealthy, but they’re not my normal fresh, non-packaged snack.

Promise, promise, promise to start posting recipes and linking them out from here tomorrow! Sorry for my lack of ability to post lately, it was not due to my planning!

WIAW – with Vacation!

June 13, 2012 by ·


 

It’s finally hump day! This has been a long week after my great weekend with J! I had my first Maryland blue crab fest, and it was excellent! I loved it so much.

I promise we had more than crab! See- coleslaw, soup, potato salad, and beer (cider for some of us). What could be better?

There was so much crab left over that we picked the rest of the meat and J’s dad made us crab cakes the next night. Because J’s sister and I require gluten and yeast free, these crab cakes were…crab! What an amazing concept, huh?! They were awesome with just a bit of cornmeal to bind them.

Vacation has been so wonderful, now I have to get back into work though and make my own meals. Guess I forgot to say above, J’s dad makes the most amazing cappuccinos and eggs (coddled, they’re amazing) every morning. I wasn’t quite sure what to do with myself on Monday when breakfast wasn’t made for me. J’s parents are the best! So to make up for having to make my own breakfast, I’ve been enjoying overnight oats. Flavor:  chocolate and strawberries. You should try them, they’re healthy!!! (This has been my snack food too, I seriously have been eating on average three jars a day!)

Which is good because I’m eating it all the time, even for dessert! I’ve been pairing oats with lots of fun juices for my juicing challenge. Lately, I’ve been on a peach kick, with carrots and or kale.

For lunch today I had some wonderful sautéed bok choy with a ginger, soy sauce marinade and crunch sliced almonds. Stay tuned, recipe coming soon!

 And for dinner, what could be better than a spicy thai curry? Just to kick things up a notch! This simple red curry with squash and mushrooms was not only tasty, but filling and great as a quick, light dinner in the summer. This makes the second recipe I owe you, promise it will be up by the end of the day!

It has been difficult adjusting back to normal life haha! But as you can see, I’ve been treating myself with great food! Two recipes to be published today, so wait and see! Thursday will be a big post with exciting news for cragsandveggies, make sure you stop by to hear what it is!

Do you have vacation blues when you come back to real life?
