WIAW: Sunday! (Cake for Breakfast)

I decided to switch it up a little bit this week – I’m sharing with you a day of Sunday eats! I typically share a weekday post but guess what – I remembered to take food pics on Sunday!

I woke up fully intending to have a great breakfast of eggs and beans – and B was ready to make it of me! – but somehow ran out of time and only had 15 minutes for breakfast before my Sunday morning plans, meeting Nicole for a walk and tea. Oh well. That meant breakfast was quick – but still delicious! I had made lemon cake Saturday so it sounded perfect for Sunday breakfast. IMG_20150329_164012 Then it was time to meet Nicole. We took a nice walk and enjoyed a pot of tea while we caught up. She just got back from Australia so it was awesome to hear some of her stories. That’s my favorite from Cleveland Tea Revival – ginger turmeric.

I got home about 1 p.m. and was starving. Guess lemon cake doesn’t fill you up? I luckily had some leftovers from Friday night waiting for me. Note – I forgot to take a photo of it on Sunday, but here’s the photo of my veggie burger on Friday. I had about half leftover.

And with the veggie burger I had some more veggies! I did some meal prep and ate some of the veggies I was preparing – spinach, brussels sprouts and some additional frozen veggies. Oh and this new flavor (for me) of La Croix. Pretty yummy!

Sunday dinners are typically with B’s family, but I had to work and we had tickets to see a final movie at the Cleveland International Film Festival, so we had a quick dinner planned. Below – my concoction from the Heinen’s salad bar. I assure you it was really good and about 1.3 lb. of food. #notashamed

Some questions for you:

  • Do you have standing Sunday night dinner plans? We typically go to B’s parents house for dinner and I love it!
  • Dessert for breakfast – anyone else guilty?
  • Favorite salad bar toppings? Quinoa salads, edamame, hummus, beans and the Heinen’s roasted red pepper tofu (in the photo above on the bottom) – so good! Oh and I also love some good Krab (fake crab). I don’t know why – but it’s something I enjoy!

    When I was in high school, we always did brinner on Sunday nights! So it usually ended up being a veggie omelet for me 🙂 In college, though, it changes every week.

    My sugar cravings mostly kick in after dinner, so I always save my treat of the day for then 🙂

      Ooh what a fun high school tradition! And I love after-dinner treats – especially anything with sugar. Dessert all the way!

    Cake for breakfast is sometimes necessary. I know it isn’t the same thing, but that’s why I make my oatmeal cakes for brekkie – it feels like dessert first thing!

      Hey – cake of any kind is appreciated. I don’t discriminate!

    Everything looks great…especially the lemon bread!

    Ahh how I love salad bars and all of those toppings and pre-made salads. My favorite include eggs, bacon, beets, potato salad, anything with quinoa (obvi), and broccoli salad (w/bacon & raisins). My plate always gets wildly out of control.

      They had a bacon blue cheese potato salad at this salad bar. I’m weirdly not a blue cheese fan but you may have liked that! (they also had broccoli salad and quinoa :))

    Ginger Turmeric tea sounds amazing, I love catching up with friends over tea or coffee. All your eats look wonderful. Dessert for breakfast is a tradition for my mom and I after thankgiving, we call it “Pie for Breakfast Day”

      Oh it is, Georgie! I love ginger turmeric. So good! Thanks for stopping by 🙂

    They say that people who eat dessert for breakfast are actually thinner overall than those who don’t indulge in the morning!

      Ha, I’ll take it then! (though I do indulge later in the day too :))
