Happy Wednesday! You’ve made it – you’re halfway through the week. And some of you lucky dogs are more than halfway if you have Friday off … not me.
I may not have Friday off, but I’m celebrating – because it’s What I Ate Wednesday! The day for sharing a checking out a random day of eats (and spying on all of your food too…because I love seeing what everyone eats).
For breakfast, I had some fruit salad and nuts and a little yogurt on top of the fruit salad. I still can’t get enough fruit and Siggi’s. That’s probably the theme of this pregnancy – fruit, Siggi’s and dessert.
For a snack before lunch, I had a handful of mixed nuts. Wow, look at all that salt!?
Lunch was a mishmash. I had some roasted veggies, tofu and a barley salad. And then some leftover black bean soup from Panera that I hadn’t finished for dinner the night before. I don’t eat meat on Fridays during Lent and this was the perfect filling meatless meal!
A mid-afternoon snack included an apple.
AND of course some peanut M&Ms.
For dinner, B and I had plans to have Dave and Anson over – they were going to help us with our baby registry and B was going to make fish for a Lenten Friday meal. While he cooked the meal, we snacked on some cheeses and bread (bread not pictured).
And our dinner – SO delicious. Mashed cauliflower with some gruyere, asparagus and shallots and scallops. My apartment still smells fro the scallops but they were SO GOOD.
And dessert? Some of these Bailey’s St. Patrick’s Day themed cupcakes! And maybe a Samoa or two (unphotographed).
That was a delicious Friday!
Some questions for you:
- Do you go meatfree once a week? What’s your favorite meatless meal?
- What’s your favorite afternoon snack? Sweet/salty combos – nuts and fruit or even peanut M&Ms!
I rarely go meat free on purpose, but I do it often without realizing. At least once a week I’ll make a huge tray of roasted veggies and just eat those for dinner – uses us older veggies and super tasty!
i’m not a big meat eater at all — haven’t eaten red meat or pork since i was 18 — so i only have fish or grilled chicken breasts. i have no probs going meat-free, but try to eat chicken on my salads daily if i can, as i don’t eat so many other things and need to get the protein!
Peanut M n’ M’s are the best balance of sweetness + fat + a little bit of protein? 😀 And those mixed nuts look yummy. :)))
This WIAW has everything I love: peanut M&Ms, cheeeeeese, more dessert, and scallops! Wish I had this day of eats with ya!
The frosting on those cupcakes looks so amazing!
