Is it just me, or does February feel like it is already flying by? Maybe it is because I have been busy at work and busy outside of work, but this week is definitely cruising right a long. Trust me, I am certainly not complaining! But enough February talk. Let’s talk about Wednesday and What I Ate Wednesday!
So it is “Love Your Veggies Month,” huh? Well if you know me at all, then you know I certainly won’t have a problem with this WIAW theme ;).
Breakfast
Breakfast consisted of two of my current favorite morning eats. I had two pieces of toasted Ezekiel 100% whole grain bread topped with half of a mashed avocado and salsa (p.s. you really must try the Wholly Guacamole salsa if you have not already..it is good!)…
…and raspberry Greek yogurt topped with fresh strawberries and blackberries. I honestly do not think that I could ever get enough blackberries right now.
Snack
This probably comes as no surprise. My mid-morning snack was a banana. And a really yummy banana at that. I was loving all of those brown spots! 🙂
Lunch
For lunch I ate leftovers of last night’s dinner: Cheesy Quinoa ‘N Peas with “Bacon” (recipe to come) and a side of roasted broccoli.
I paired it with a serving of fresh cantaloupe. And yes, that is a container made for veggies and dip…let’s just say that I was running low on clean containers ;).
Snack
After work I headed to the grocery store and then got right to baking. It is my turn to bring breakfast to work tomorrow, so I baked a double-batch of Maple-Kissed Pumpkin Muffins. While I baked, I ate a sliced Jonagold apple dipped in PB2 peanut butter to tide me over until dinner.
Dinner
Tonight’s dinner was beyond delicious! I made Chelsey’s Lentil Sloppy Joe’s and they were so, so tasty! I served the lentils on toasted whole wheat bread and topped the sandwich with a bit of sriarcha sauce. On the side I ate homemade sweet potato french fries and a dill pickle spear. I seriously cannot wait to eat my leftovers for lunch tomorrow!
Snacks
Tonight’s snacks will likely consist of cooked green peas (weird, I know..but I just love them!), fresh fruits (cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, mandarin oranges…some or all 😉 of these?), and something salty. I am thinking either popcorn or Pop Chips. Both sound awfully enticing right now.
I hope you all had a fabulous Wednesday! It is almost Thursday, which means that it is almost Friday. Keep trucking a long! 🙂

Love a nice fresh cantaloupe!
They are absolutely delicious, right? I cannot wait until they are in season because those ones always taste the greatest and you can almost always find one for a ridiculously good price!
Omg everything looks so delicious! The wholly guacamole salsa is great.
Isn’t it? Somehow it just tastes so much better than any other store-bought salsa that I have tried. I love it!
Your eats look great!!!
ps- Just found your blog the other day 🙂 I just started my own so I am new the blogging world!
Thank you so much for stopping by. Welcome to the blogging world :). Don’t be a stranger!
Yum eats…I bookmarked that lentil sloppy joe recipe and glad to know that it’s as yummy as it looks :)! And I love that ‘veggies & dip’ container- genius much ;)!
The lentil sloppy joe’s are SO good. I really think that you will love them as much as I do!
I am pretty sure that I got the veggie/dip container from the dollar section at Target…gotta love Target! 😉
I loveeeeee lentil sloppy joes and they make the BEST leftovers. So funny I eat peas like it’s nothing to sometimes at work i’ll be just eating a few cups of peas, they the bestttttt
I am glad to know that I am not the only person who snacks on peas! 🙂
Looks like a great day of eats! It is almost Friday, yayyy 🙂
Yay! Super excited about it almost being Friday :).
See I really don’t like bananas when they start to go brown! I like them really yellow.
LOVE your dinner. Omg I didn’t know you could even make a lentil sandwich, yummmm!
The sandwich is SO good. You should definitely try it.
Your meals look SO good! I’m loving all that fresh fruit!
I cannot get enough of it!
Looks ohso healthy! Love the avocado & toast — such a good combo!
THEEE best!
girl I am digging your combos.. lentil sloppy joe, avocado and salsa. total yum
It was definitely a great day of eats!
It’s felt like ALL the months have been flying by for me lately!! February is my favorite though..birthday and Vday yahoo!! YUM to all this food, I will have NO problems eating my veggies this month. 😉
We are both definitely big veggie lovers :). Go us!
I saw Chelsey’s lentil sloppy joes and am planning to get the ingredients to make them when we go to the store today, they look/sound soo good.
You absolutely should. You will not be disappointed!
That those sweet-potatoe fries look so delicious! Could I maybe get your recipe? 🙂
All I do is cut them up, spray them with EVOO cooking spray, sprinkle them with sea salt, black pepper, and cinnamon and roasted from for about 25-30 minutes (depending on how crispy you want them) at 400 degrees F!
Just found your blog. Everything is so veggie healthy. What cookbooks do you use? Thanks.
Most of the recipes I come up with myself, find online, or am inspired to create through other’s blog posts, but I am a BIG fan of the Happy Herbivore vegan cookbooks (she has 3 out right now). I definitely recommend checking them out!
Love sweet potato fries! And I want that recipe for sure!
It is pretty simple: All I do is cut them up, spray them with EVOO cooking spray, sprinkle them with sea salt, black pepper, and cinnamon and roasted from for about 25-30 minutes (depending on how crispy you want them) at 400 degrees F! Sweet potato fries are theeee best!
Mmm! Lentil sloppy joes sounds so delicious! Especially with some hamburger buns!
They were seriously so good!
So glad I read this post because I NEED to go and buy some salsa. Not to mention I love the combo of avocado & salsa – so good and so simple!
Being without salsa is like a crime! 😉
Definitely trying that breakfast idea! I <3 avocado and salsa, and Ezekiel!
I hope you love it. I am not sure how you couldn’t, though, since I know you are a big fan of avocados and Ezekiel bread!
I loveee avo on toast [or tortillas]- so simple, yet so scrumptious! I have some leftover lentils and sloppy joe’s sound like a great way to use them up 😉
You eat good. I like that. I would not have thought to but lentils on bread. I may try that. I have some in my freezer now. 🙂
