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!

What I Ate Wednesday!

June 6, 2012 by ·

WOW, is it already Wednesday?


The last week has been crazy with work commitments and personal commitments so I haven’t had a non-cereal breakfast. While I’m normally not a cereal person, I have to say, I have found one brand that I love and that’s Mom’s Best! They have a version of the most common cereals and they’re free of artificial colors, flavorings, and weird preservatives.

Yep, toasty O’s and juice have been my mornings lately. But I have since found a new amazing juice! Grape juice! Yes, for my juicing challenge I have been making homemade grape juice from red grapes!

The only bad thing about this juice is that for a whole bag of grapes, that’s all you get! It’s pretty strong though, so I could add water for more volume if I wanted to. I absolutely love it though! So glad grapes are on sale at my local grocery store or I’d go broke because I’ve been drinking two of these a day!

For lunch today I had a true “southern” meal of some things my grandmother brought to me this past weekend including pinto beans, okra salad, and corn bread. I’m working on a post coming soon on making a traditional southern meal like this healthier! The okra salad is already amazingly healthy (okra, zucchini, tomatoes, and vinegar based) and with some tweaking, the cornbread is coming along. The beans are full of flavors and spices and so easy to prepare! I’m so excited to share this post with you!!

For dinner I had Aloo Gobi! If you’ve never had it, it’s pretty much the gateway to Indian food. It’s definitely one of my favorites! It’s based on onions, potatoes, and cauliflower and is made up similar to a stir fry dish. This post is coming tomorrow (Posted now, click here!!!). I promise you that you will love this dish! Even if you’ve never had Indian food before, this dish is easy to make and easy to love! It’s spiced well in flavor, not heat so no need to worry about it being too spicy.

And since this month is all about sensible snacking, I’ve been snacking on chocolate quinoa! Yes, chocolate and toasted quinoa. It’s wonderful and healthy. How did I ever go without this healthy snack?
