It is March! Wait, what? It is March already?? If your thoughts are anything like mine, then you are likely wondering how March has crept up on us so quickly. Trust me, I am definitely not complaining about this, though. March is one of my favorite months. March means my birthday (I’ll be halfway to 30!) and the start of Spring. And boy, am I ready for some Spring weather!
Now that we have established my excitement about March, let’s get to my eats from the first Wednesday of this great month. It is What I Ate Wednesday! For the month of March we are going green. And with my love for fruits and veggies, this should not be too difficult! 😉
Breakfast
I headed into work one hour early today so I ate my breakfast on the go at my desk. Today’s protein-packed breakfast included Kashi GoLean Original cereal, Kashi Indigo Morning cereal (very good, by the way!), and Multigrain Cheerios all mixed together. I poured unsweetened coconut almond milk over my cereal and ate a mandarin orange on the side.
Mid-Morning Snack
No description necessary here ;).
Lunch
Today’s lunch consisted of baked falafel (recipe to come!) leftover from Sunday night’s dinner. I dipped my falafel in a bit of Dijon mustard.
I also heated up some carrots, sugar snap peas, black beans, and edamame. This may actually be one of the only green things that I ate all day…oops!
Snack
I needed a quick pick-me-up before heading to the gym after work, so I snacked on a PowerBar Pure & Simple Roasted Peanut Butter protein bar. I do not love the ingredients list on this bar, but it had been sitting in my pantry for a while and needed to be eaten. It did the trick, too!
Dinner
I wanted to make something simple and easy for dinner. On the menu: BBQ “Sausage” and Apple Quesadillas. These were awfully tasty! Look for the recipe soon :).
Snacks
Snacks tonight have/will likely consist of:
Baby carrots and hummus (sorry for the recycled photo)…
…cooked green peas (yes, I eat peas for a snack ;))…
…fresh fruit (cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries)…
…and a salty treat (Pop Chips? lentil chips? popcorn?)…we shall see!
So I did not do so great on the whole “eat green” thing with only green foods appearing in my lunch and snacks. I promise, though, that next week will be better! 😉
Happy Almost Weekend!

Falafel is definitely one of my favorites!
I’m excited about the baked falafel recipe! It’s been AGES since I’ve had falafel, and this post definitely induced some major cravings. 🙂 Everything else looks wonderful!
Don’t worry missing the green memo today–they were definitely lacking in my post, too!

Isn’t falafel amazing? It turns out that it is quite easy to make, too!
The sausage and apple quesadilla sounds like interesting combination! Simple, but tasty! 🙂
It was very good. I was really please with how it turned out :).
I thought those looked like apples in your quesadilla, how interesting! I can’t wait to the see recipe for that.
And cooked peas are the best snack ever! 😀
Love me some peas! 😉
yummmmm cant wait for those quesadillas!
They were good. I will try to post the recipe SOON.
I’ve never made or tried falafel but have a bag of garbanzo bean flour sitting in our pantry with a recipe on the back that I’ve been forgetting to try… I love chickpeas so I bet it’s tasty! And those quesadillas sound divine – they remind me of my fave chicken apple sausage from TJ’s 😀
Falafel is amazing. You definitely NEED to try it!
I love falafels! Looking forward to the recipe. 😀
Isn’t falafel amazing? I cannot get enough!
Your dinner looks awesome! And I could eat hummus every day at every meal and probably never get bored.
Saaaame here. Hummus is good with everything :).
oh man I am excited for that baked falafel recipe
Soon! I promise :).
Baked falafel?! Falafel is hands down my favorite food ever. Can’t wait for the recipe!!
LOVE falafel. I had never had it until last year. I was definitely missing out!
I can’t believe it’s already March!!!
Crazy, isn’t it? And we already have a week of the month done with!
Looks like an awesome day of simple and satisfying eats :)!
It was a great day of eats :).
Ohhh my goodness, that apple sausage quesadilla..GENIUS! I am making that asap.
You most definitely should. It is a great combo.
I am pumped about the baked falafel recipe! I don’t think I’ve EVER had homemade falafel…
It is GOOD! I hope you will like it.
Oooh the apple sausage quesadilla sounds immense. Definitely looking forward to that. Yeah I can’t believe it’s March already, how did that happen? I swear I just put my Christmas tree away!
Yes, this year is REALLY flying by. What they say about time going by faster as you age is definitely true!
I love falafel, it’s one of my favorites I always order at the Mediterranean restaurant. Although there wasn’t much green it all looks healthy!
Mediterranean restaurants are some of my favs…probably due to my love for falafel ;).
I like your cereal mix! Lunch looks super tasty too 🙂
I love mixing my cereal. I get bored with just one kind ;).
Happy March! I’m looking forward to what this month will bring! I hear halfway to thirty is the best age to be! 🙂 I love chick peas and therefore, your baked falafel is calling my name!
March is the best! And I am so glad that you share my love for chickpeas :).
Oh man homemade falafel- can’t wait to see the recipe!
It is definitely a good one!
The quesadillas look amazing! As does the falafel. I have to admit I kind of thought they were cookies at first glance. I obviously think about dessert way too much 🙂
I have heard of people making cookies with chickpeas…so hey, they could be savory cookies! 😉
Please post the baked falafel recipe soon! Sounds delicious!
I will be posting it on Monday!! 🙂
I am super excited that March is here! That means warm weather is on its way! 🙂 And happy birthday month!
