Happy Wednesday, everyone! I am extra excited about this week’s Wednesday because tomorrow is my “Friday.” I am off of work on Friday so I only have one more work day to get through in order to make it to the weekend. I am pretty pumped! But enough of me making you all jealous ;), let’s get to the eats! Today’s What I Ate Wednesday post features my eats from both Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. I want to try to keep things interesting for you all (and I am very much a creature of habit), so I’ll be highlighting my favorite eats from the past two days.
Breakfast
So this was not actually what I ate for breakfast today. I totally forgot to take a picture of my breakfast :(. But, in my cereal bowl today were Kashi GoLean, Honey Kix, Arrowhead Mills Puffed Kamut, and Cascadian Farms Cinnamon Crunch cereals. I, of course, topped my cereal mix with unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
Mid-Morning Snack
The usual…a banana!
Lunch
Today’s lunch featured leftovers from Monday night’s dinner. I had a Hawaiian Portobello Burger (recipe to come in a future post!), a dill pickle spear (because these pair well with ALL sandwiches ;)), and…
…roasted kobucha squash! I read about how good kobucha squash is for MONTHS on so many blogs. Well, a week or two ago I finally bought one and roasted it. And what can I say…I should not have waited so long to buy one. This is my new obsession! I roasted another one on Sunday and am trying to slowly work my way through it. Does anyone else like to eat it cold? I have been eating it straight out of the fridge!
Afternoon Snack
After work, I snacked on a Red Delicious apple…
…and roasted seaweed sheets. I am pretty obsessed with these at the moment, too!
Dinner
Tonight’s dinner consisted of mini polenta pizzas. I actually ate seven of these beauties and they were SO good! Don’t worry, there will be more to come on these pizzas in a future post!
Evening Snacks
Last night’s snacks consisted of:
A vegetable snack plate (peas, carrots, radish slices, and chipotle hummus)…
…and a bowl of french toast scrambled eggwhites (eggwhites, vanilla extract, and cinnamon) with roasted kobucha squash, all topped with PB2 peanut butter. This was a new concoction for me, but it is definitely one that I will be making again soon.
All in all, these past few days have been fantastic in the eats department! 🙂

Do you put anything on the kabocha squash before roasting? I’ve roasted butternut squash but never tried these!
All that I did was spray it with olive oil spray and sprinkle it with pepper, sea salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. It turned out SO delicious!
Thanks~can’t wait to try it! I admit, I had to google what one looked like uncut. I think I’ve seen this kind in our stores but I guess I never paid attention to the name!
any sandwich is not complete without a pickle! lol and that french toast scramble sounds amazing!
Pickles are an absolute must! And to think that I never used to like them! 😉
Looks like a great day of eats! I’m a little jealous of your cheerios, used to be one of my favorite cereals before going gluten free. Thank god for Puffins though, or I don’t know what I’d do lol
Puffins are amazing!! The peanut butter flavor is my favorite.
The polenta pizzas look so good and so cute! I love Kabocha squash and just stalked up since they were on sale at Sprouts for 99 cents a pound!
That’s a great price! I definitely would have stocked up, too!
I am always eating kabocha straight up cold.. oh & with some peanut butter & maple syrup on top!!
Ooo adding maple syrup sounds awesome!
that last snack looks quite interesting, i would never have thought to pair egg whites with peanut butter!
It is REALLY good…and a major protein-packed snack!
Your evening snack sounds amazing!! I haven’t yet tried kobucha squash as its quite hard to find in the uk so I’m very jealous 😉
You probably shouldn’t even start…it is addictive! 😉
I can’t wait for that burger recipe!! I love hawaiian anything especially if it involves pineapple which from seeing the picture it looks like it does!
It sure does!! 🙂
Hawaiian portobello burgers sound awesome!
I was really pleased with how they turned out :).
You can say that last sentence again! You are incredible for making all this food to eat all week long! I love it! I’ve never heard of that kind of squash but it looks really yummy! Anything that color is cool with me! Have a great ‘Friday’! 🙂
Oh my gosh, you MUST find a kobucha squash and roast it! You will love it, I promise :).
Those seaweed sheets look pretty interesting! Kinda jealous. Thursday is my Friday this week too 🙂 Yay for a compressed work schedule 🙂
Happy “Friday” to you!! 🙂
I LOVE kabocha squash! I have been eating it cold every day as a snack. I have it packed in my lunch bag for my afternoon snack today! Also Hawaiian mushroom burgers sound amazing!
I am eating kobucha for my afternoon snack today, too!! 🙂
Oh those little polenta pizzas are so cute! Can’t wait to see the recipe!
I was super pleased with how they turned out :).
I need that polenta pizza recipe asap please 🙂 And I love roasted kobucha squash, I usually don’t have leftovers though, so I don’t know if I like it cold 🙂
Well you need to roast LOTS of kobucha so that you can try it cold!
mini polenta pizza and a portobella burger…love it! I am obsessed with those seaweed sheets too- so good!
Aren’t they awesome? The whole idea of eating them weirded me out at first, but I really like them!
I’m jealous of your healthy eating habits! Wish I had that discipline!
I genuinely LOVE healthy food and fruits/veggies! But trust me, I have my splurges!! We all need pizza and froyo :).
I’ll eat kabocha in any way shape or form. Love it! Roasted on the grill or in the oven is my favorite. I toss it on top of salads for lunch–it’s my favorite part!
I have never thought to grill it, but that is a fabulous idea!
mmm it all looks amazing!! Ive actually never tried kabocha, but I really want too!
Oh you need to ASAP! Don’t wait as long as I did!!
So many fruits and vegetables! Love it!
Me too!!! 🙂
Short weeks are the best! I can’t wait for that portbello burger recipe – sounds delicious!
They sure are!! And thank you! 🙂
I need to try that squash as well. I don’t even think I’ve seen one at a store though! I will most likely get addicted.
You definitely cannot find them at every grocery store, unfortunately :(.
Ohh, I can’t wait to see the mini polenta pizza recipe! I love polenta pizza but I’ve never made them mini. Happy Friday to you chica!! 🙂
They are so cute AND tasty! 🙂
all your eats look delicious! enjoy your long weekend!!
Thank you!! I hope to :).
Oh no… You’ve officially discovered the amazingness that is Kabocha squash – No going back now! 🙂
I know…I am a little afraid of what I have gotten myself into! 😉
Wow, I definitely will wait for the Hawaiian Portobello Burger recipe!
It is a good one! 🙂
I just found your blog and I’m digging it! 🙂 I love what you eat. So healthy and so varied! I’ve been eating a lot of oatmeal with almond milk and green juices lately! They work at any meal. I also love me some baby carrots 😉
Thank you!! I hope you find some recipes that you like! 🙂 And baby carrots are a daily MUST!
I love that you mix your cereals! I do that too! 🙂
Eating just one type of cereal now seems SO foreign for me. I need at least 3 or 4 kinds ;).
so much yum! I think I need to find a place that sells kabocha squash STAT
Um YES you MUST!! And that is an order!! 😉
Um can I come eat with you for a day? I need to find kabocha squash ASAP! Heck, your mixed cereal is looking fab right now!
You bet! Stop on by! 😉
Mini polenta pizzas?! I don’t even really know what those consist of, but I think I want 8,000 of them.
Haha, you crack me up!! 😉
Ah I need some kabocha!!! I was obsessed with it last sumer but haven’t had any since I’ve been back from school. I need to fix that 😉
I can’t wait for the Hawaiian portabella burger recipe! It sounds fantastic and looks like it might involve pineapple… always a plus! 🙂
Yes, kobucha is pretty much amazing!
And you bet..there is definitely some pineapple on there! 🙂
