Guess what day it is … that’s right – it’s What I Ate Wednesday! These were my eats from Monday. It included a new zoodle recipe and a birthday dinner (one of a few) with my friend/running bff Nicole.
The day was also my first day of my training for the August half marathon I signed up for. I know – a half marathon, in August, sounds hot, humid and notsomuch fun. Oh well. I’m doing it! Anyway, day one was 3.5 miles so I tried to run them pretty fast (for me) and then finished with kettle bells and the elliptical. My post-run breakfast was made for me by B! Egg whites with italian hot peppers, mixed veggies and spinach.
For lunch, I had made myself a salad. I made salads Sunday during some meal prep and also some quinoa salad so I mixed it all together. Topped with a Heinen’s flamegrilled veggie burger. YUM. No dressing this time.
Snacks the day included a nectarine, strawberries, mixed nuts and carrots.
For dinner, Nicole came over. It’s the start of her birthday week and she confessed to me that she has NEVER HAD ZOODLES. I know, right?! So in honor of her bday week we had plans to make pad thai zoodles for dinner. I snacked on some of those peanuts in the background before/after cooking too.
For dessert, I finished a glass of red wine (yes, it’s leaning on B in this picture) and may have also had a peanut butter oatmeal M&M cookie. These cookies were REALLY good and I’ll definitely be making them again and sharing the recipe soon!
That was it! That was my day. How did I do? Two questions for you:
- Do you like oatmeal cookies? What do you put in them?
- What’s your go-to Thai or Vietnamese order? Pad see mao or pad see ew for Thai, Pho or Bun or cabbage salads for Vietnamese!
I Crashed The Web 
What a great friend to introduce her to Zoodles… and with pad thai, too… pulling out all the stops! Those cookies look AMAZING!
oatmeal cookies are my fave cookies, actually. i love peanut butter oatmeal, or just plain oatmeal (cinnamon) raisin. dark chocolate is nice sometimes too. i haven’t heard of that brand of veggie burger but i’m big on putting those into salads, too.
This was my first attempt at peanut butter oatmeal – i will def be making them again!!
i eat so many zoodles haha looks delicious!
oh how do you make your zoodles?
I need those cookies in my life- well, anything with m n ms!
Thanks for linking up, Happy WIAW!
YUM! Those zoodles look amazing!
Can you believe I have never had Thai food before! I am not sure I can eat any of it…?
Ahh you haven’t?! You must try it if you can … there are many different options! Same with Vietnamese food. So refreshing!
That wine glass balancing act is quite impressive! I also really like the idea of pad thai with zoodles.
Ohh that nectarine sounds good!! I have some fresh peaches at home that are finally ripe! I can’t wait!
Yes Yes Yes I love oatmeal cookies! I cannot wait to hear all about this recipe. They sound pretty good.. but then again can anything involving m&ms be bad? 🙂
