WIAW: April 3, 2013

in Other

Happy Wednesday!! šŸ™‚

Am I the only one who gets super excited when Wednesday night arrives?Ā  I know that most of us still have two work days left in the week, but I almost feel like I am home free at this point!Ā  Come on Friday…get here soon!

Not only are Wednesdays great because they are so close to Thursdays and Fridays, but they are also great because it means that it is once again time for What I Ate Wednesday.

WIAW general

 

 

 

 

 

Breakfast

WIAW 4313 2

 

 

 

 

 

Today’s breakfast was a current favorite of mine: 2 pieces of toasted whole wheat bread smeared with half of an avocado and topped with salsa, nutritional yeast, and sea salt.

I also ate a bowl of Greek vanilla yogurt mixed with fresh strawberries and blackberries.

Mid-Morning Snack

At around 10:30 I ate a perfectly ripe banana.Ā  I have been eating some good bananas lately!

Lunch

mushroom hummus wrap 1

 

 

 

 

 

Today’s lunch consisted of leftovers from last night’s dinner: 2 Mushroom, Vegetable, and Hummus Stuffed Wraps (recipe to come!).Ā  These wraps are darn good!Ā  I also ate leftover roasted asparagus.Ā  I have been seriously loving that asparagus is finally on sale in the grocery stores!

Snack

WIAW 4313 4

 

 

 

 

 

Before heading out for a bike ride, I snacked on a sliced Braeburn apple dipped in PB2 peanut butter.Ā  I cannot get enough of that stuff!

Dinner

WIAW 4313 6 Y

 

 

 

 

 

I whipped out an old favorite standby for tonight’s dinner: the “baked” (I microwaved it ;)) sweet potato!Ā  I topped my potato with black beans, green salsa verde, a sunny-side up dippy egg, and nutritional yeast.Ā  I also ate roasted broccoli and cauliflower on the side.

WIAW 4313 7

 

 

 

 

 

You cannot beat a good runny egg!

Snacks

Tonight’s snacks have/will consist of:

A vegetable plate of celery and carrots with hummus…

…fresh cantaloupe and red seedless grapes…

vegan week day 6 6

 

 

 

 

 

…and air-popped popcorn sprayed with olive oil spray and topped with sea salt, nutritional yeast, and a few dashes of curry powder.Ā  I’d say I got in my fair share of nutritional yeast today! šŸ˜‰

That’s all folks!Ā  Have a fabulous night and a wonderful end of the work week!

    Popcorn is one of my favorites! Eapecially with coconut oil. But EVOO is my runner up. šŸ™‚

    • cleaneatingveggiegirl April 3, 2013, 8:40 pm

      I have seen that other bloggers have found coconut oil spray at TJ’s recently, which I am dying to try on my popcorn. I have not found it at my TJ’s yet, though :(.

  • Nicole @ Fruit N Fitness April 3, 2013, 8:37 pm

    I just recently tried nutritional yeast for the first time with a pasta dish and can’t wait to add it to popcorn the next time i make it šŸ™‚

    • cleaneatingveggiegirl April 3, 2013, 8:46 pm

      It is AWESOME with popcorn! I seriously like it more than the cheese flavored popcorn seasonings.

  • Sarah @ Feeeding the Brain and Body April 3, 2013, 8:46 pm

    A lot of people choose a sweet breakfast, but I love myself something savory in the morning also. Your toast toppings look great!

  • Rach @ This Italian Family April 3, 2013, 9:10 pm

    Oh, I had popcorn for a snack yesterday! it was super delicious!

  • moderngirlnutrition April 3, 2013, 10:24 pm

    Can you just come cook for me? šŸ˜‰ Thant breakfast is always a favorite of mine- avo goes so well with toast!

    • cleaneatingveggiegirl April 4, 2013, 10:04 pm

      Avo and test is the best! And sure..I will come cook for you if you come cook for me the next week! šŸ˜‰

  • Ashley @ AlmostVegGirlie April 3, 2013, 10:58 pm

    I’m loving asparagus now too, especially since it’s cheaper than usual! It’s so delicious roasted or grilled šŸ˜€

    • cleaneatingveggiegirl April 4, 2013, 10:05 pm

      I have never tried it grilled, but I will definitely have to this summer!

  • Khushboo Thadani (@KhushbooThadani) April 4, 2013, 12:52 am

    Lovee the combo of runny yolks and sweet potato…even better when avocado is thrown in the mix :)!

  • Meredith April 4, 2013, 12:54 am

    I love the looks of your mushroom/hummus wrap…looking forward to the recipe!

  • Sara @ Nourish and Flourish April 4, 2013, 1:56 am

    I adore avocado toast–especially with sea salt! Your photos have induced a major craving—be assured that this will happen soon. šŸ™‚ Have you ever tried making a fried egg sandwich with guacamole? SO good!

    Happy Wednesday! <3

    • cleaneatingveggiegirl April 4, 2013, 10:06 pm

      I, surprisingly, have never make a fried egg sandwich with guacamole. That definitely need to happen, though!

  • Jan @ Sprouts n Squats April 4, 2013, 4:58 am

    Got to love fresh avo on toast, it is always a winner šŸ™‚

  • Life's a Bowl April 4, 2013, 5:32 am

    I love cantaloupeee šŸ™‚ A stuffed sweet potato sounds delic – I’ve been meaning to make twice baked sweet potatoes!

    • cleaneatingveggiegirl April 4, 2013, 10:07 pm

      Twice baked sweet potatoes are great!! And yes, I am a bit obsessed with cantaloupe :).

  • kaityscooking April 4, 2013, 5:32 am

    I cant ever get enough of nutritional yeast, i put that stuff on everything! I get so excited when asparagus are on sale too because otherwise they’re so damn expensive! Runny yolk and sweet potato is my favvv thing. Been having it for bfast all wk.

    • cleaneatingveggiegirl April 4, 2013, 10:08 pm

      Nutritional yeast is definitely amazing! I don’t know what I ever did without it!

  • Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin April 4, 2013, 6:54 am

    I love your dinner! Sweet potato with eggs and some sort of vegetable is one of my favourite dinners when I don’t really want to think about cooking something.

  • Erin April 4, 2013, 7:47 am

    I still need to try nutritional yeast! And I could eat a sweet potato every night!!!

  • Her Happy Balance April 4, 2013, 7:50 am

    I could very happily eat everything you had today. Love your breakfast! And I never think to make a sweet potato savory with salsa and beans, love that too!

    • cleaneatingveggiegirl April 4, 2013, 10:09 pm

      Savory sweet potatoes are one of my favorite things to eat. Sometimes I eat them as snacks, too!

  • Kelly @ Hidden Fruits and Veggies April 4, 2013, 8:11 am

    You always have the most delicious, healthy meals. I can’t wait to see the recipe for that wrap, I want to eat it ASAP

  • Alex @ Cookie Dough Katzen April 4, 2013, 8:13 am

    I’m totally with ya about Wednesday nights. I love seeing all the WIAW posts and once Thursday rolls around, the week flies by!

  • Ang @ Nutty for Life April 4, 2013, 8:31 am

    That wrap looks amazing! Yum.

  • lrsaar April 4, 2013, 8:37 am

    Looks like some great eats! I just saw in your comments that TJ’s has a coconut oil spray??? Ahh I was just there last night, I wish I knew!

  • Laurie @ Love, Laugh, Laurie April 4, 2013, 9:01 am

    Your lunch looks great! I need to eat more sweet potatoes, there are so many options for add-ins!

  • Greta April 4, 2013, 9:26 am

    This -> “You cannot beat a good runny egg!” AMEN!
    I’m such an egg eater, and the runny ones are the best!!

  • Natalie April 4, 2013, 10:33 am

    greek yogurt and berries is my all time fave SNACK!

  • Alexis @ Hummusapien April 4, 2013, 11:15 am

    I saw your earlier comment about the coconut oil spray at TJs–I looked for it last time and it wasn’t at mine either! SO bummed. Your eats always look so delicious! We eat very similary šŸ™‚ I always bake my sweet potatoes into fries, but I really need to start nuking it and eating it with a runny egg + black beans + salsa. So simple, so delish and SO healthy!

    • cleaneatingveggiegirl April 4, 2013, 10:12 pm

      We sure do have similar eating habits! Every time that I see your recipes I always think, “oooo, I need to make that!!” Hopefully our TJ’s get the coconut oil spray soon!

  • Slim Sanity (@Slim_Sanity) April 4, 2013, 12:03 pm

    Avocado on toast never gets old! šŸ™‚ And I love me some air-popped popcorn!

  • jessiebearwhat April 4, 2013, 12:20 pm

    mmm salsa + avos and apples + pb2 are the best flavor combos!

  • Brittany April 4, 2013, 12:29 pm

    I’ve been getting DOWWWNNN on asparagus this past week! It’s always cheap at TJ’s, and man is that stuff good on the grill!

    • cleaneatingveggiegirl April 4, 2013, 10:13 pm

      I will definitely have to try grilling it this summer. That sounds amazing!

  • Anna Smith-James (@AnnaTheApple88) April 4, 2013, 2:36 pm

    I can’t believe I have never had sweet potato with fried egg before. No idea why. So simple but looks so yummy!

  • Sonia Orban-Price (@themexigarian) April 4, 2013, 3:01 pm

    the wraps do look pretty good. šŸ™‚ anything with mushrooms, I’m pretty much in.

  • Leigha April 4, 2013, 3:07 pm

    Super excited for the wrap recipe! What a great day of eats!
