It’s Wednesday! And more importantly, it is Wednesday night, which means that the work week is more than halfway over. We are almost there people. Keep on pushing through! 🙂
And now that I am finished with giving you a pep talk for the rest of the week…let’s get to the eats, shall we?
What I Ate Wednesday
Breakfast
Breakfast started out with two pieces of toasted organic sprouted Ezekiel 100% whole grain bread- one smeared with almond butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and the other topped with TJ’s cranberry apple butter.
I paired my toast with a bowl of Greek vanilla yogurt topped with fresh strawberries and blueberries. It was a darn tasty way to start the day!
Snack
My mid-morning snack at work was the usual…a banana!
Lunch
For today’s lunch I packed a bowl of “No Chicken” Noodle Chickpea Soup topped with crushed saltine crackers. And yes, this is a picture from my dinner last night…trust me, this is much prettier than a picture of my plastic container at work would have been ;). I love this soup every time that I make it. It is absolutely perfect for the frigid temperatures here in the Midwest right now, too.
For dessert I ate a Red Delicious apple…and a very oddly shaped apple, at that!
Snack
Before heading to the gym after work, I snacked on a Cherry Pie Larabar. I love these bars! They are so tasty and the ingredients lists are always fantastic. This bar only contained three ingredients: dates, almonds, and unsweetened cherries. Now that is impressive!
Dinner
As I normally do on Wednesdays, I planned my dinner using the Happy Herbivore Abroad cookbook. Tonight I prepared two dishes: Masoor Dal and Saag. Both are Indian dishes (I am currently obsessed with Indian food), and contained two of my favorite foods right now: lentils and spinach. I know, they do not look very pretty…but trust me, they were good!
Snacks
Snacks this evening included/will include:
Carrots and celery with hummus
Fresh blackberries
TBD: Either microwave kettle corn or lentils chips. I haven’t decided just yet!

I made the chickpea noodle soup recently for the second time. I love that soup. I made the corn chowder for this week and really like it also.
I am glad you like them! 🙂
Yum! Your eats look delish! I love that flavor LARABAR! I just tried the Key Lime Pie yesterday for the first time and it was so good!
There hasn’t been a Larabar that I have tried that I haven’t liked. I am pretty certain that they are ALL good!
That’s a good idea to eat a pb and jelly in two pieces- makes it last longer 🙂
Any time that I can make food last longer, I do. What can I say..I like to eat!
ANOTHER PBJ!!!
That ‘a girl!!
PB & J is where it’s at! 😉
Red delicious… mmmm! My favorite apples right now are Pink Ladies. 🙂
Pink Ladies are so good! It’s funny because I never used to like Red Delicious apples at all. But lately, I have been loving them. Let’s just say, I really don’t discriminate when it comes to apples!
I’ve been loving Ezekiel bread lately!!!
Isn’t it seriously delicious? I cannot get enough!
Yum that Indian food sounds so good! I recently made a red lentil and squash curry stew 3 times in a row….You should post the saag recipe, I’m curious! 🙂
That stew sounds awesome. Indian food is so good and super vegetarian/vegan friendly, so I love it! I do not post recipes that come directly from cookbooks (just for copyright purposes), however, this saag recipe happens to be on her website, which you can find here: http://happyherbivore.com/recipe/red-lentil-dal-2/ It’s your lucky day! 😉
