Happy WIAW! Today’s What I Ate Wednesday is a fun one – it was last Thursday, which was the day of my office clambake. Have you ever been to a clambake? I had been to lobster bakes when I lived in Boston, but clambakes are a seasonal regularity here. And each year my office has one and they are delicious.

The day started out a little different from usual. Instead of eggs, I had a smoothie bowl. It was a mix of frozen fruit and some protein powder, topped with chia seeds and flaxseed.

Oh, and some coffee mixed with cinnamon. So delicious!

For lunch, I had a salad, leftover chicken sausage and a sweet and salty peanut bar.

Snacks during the afternoon included some kombucha, peanut M&Ms and an apple.

Then it was time for the clambake. Appetizers and beer first:

And then clambake time. Clams, chicken, corn and sweet potato.

There were so many dessert options. Cherry pie, brownies, cookies and s’mores. I opted for the s’mores. I LOVE roasting marshmallows and these were perfectly roasted.

And that was it! A pretty stuffed day.

Some questions for you:

  • Have you ever had a clambake before?
  • What’s something great you ate today?

    That sounds like such a fun day!! The s’mores would have been my favorite part since I don’t eat clams 😉 haha but I would have been totally content with chocolate + graham crackers!

    There’s something about those lunch time salads, even eaten out of Tupperware which makes them amazing.

    Happy WIAW and thanks for linking up.

    I don’t like clams, but I think I would like everything else about a clambake! I would be happy enough just eating all the desserts:)

    I love clambakes, I’m such a New England girl. Clams, mussels, potatoes, corn on the cob…all baked to perfection 🙂

    A clambake sounds so fun! Colorado isn’t the best place to find good seafood so I’m pretty jealous.

    Great post, love the clam bake and s’mores! I actually had a pretty good grilled cheese sandwich today. Nothing to write home about, but it really hit the spot!
