A Nearly Wordless WIAW: October 30, 2013

in Other

Wednesday has rolled around again, and surprisingly this Wednesday came pretty quickly.  This likely has a lot to do with the fact that I only worked three hours on Monday so it sort of only feels like Tuesday.  Unfortunately, since I spent most of Monday driving back to Nebraska after being home for the weekend, I am feeling behind in all sorts of areas in my life.  Therefore, this is going to be one of those short and sweet What I Ate Wednesday posts.

P.S. Sorry for the horrendous looking pictures! 🙁

…and I finished the night off with a baked (aka microwaved) sweet potato topped with maple almond butter…my current addiction.

Have a great Wednesday.  We are almost to Friday, right? 🙂

    What a great day of eats. I’ve been thinking about purchasing Arrowhead Mills puffed kamut cereal – how do you like it?

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 11:46 am

      I REALLY like it. I would never just eat it by itself because it is too “light?” but I love mixing it in with other cereals and putting it in my overnight oats. It tastes similar to puffed rice, but better!!

  • Jackie October 30, 2013, 8:11 am

    Yum I love veggie wraps!

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 12:26 pm

      Aren’t they tasty? And SO easy to make! I went through a period of time where I forgot about them somehow..I am glad they are back in my life! 😉

  • Shalga @ Queen Bee'sKitchen October 30, 2013, 8:21 am

    Oh that wrap looks divine! I would munch up them, crackers now too…. Mmmm And Ive just eaten lunch ha 🙂

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 12:27 pm

      Foods blogs make me hungry no matter what time of day it is or when I have last eaten! 😉

  • Katie @ running4cupcakes October 30, 2013, 10:07 am

    This week is taking forever!!!! Thankfully it is already hump day – and tomorrow is Halloween – woo hoo!!

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 12:29 pm

      Thank goodness!! Friday cannot come soon enough! 😉 And yes, Halloween makes the week a bit more fun so that definitely helps!

  • Carly @ Snack Therapy October 30, 2013, 10:35 am

    Apple dijon dressing? Sounds ridiculous.

    Ugh. Three days ’til Friday. Here’s hoping it flies by!!

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 12:29 pm

      SUPER tasty! I’ll be posting about it in a future Friday Favorites post!

  • Becky @ Olives n Wine October 30, 2013, 11:39 am

    That sweet potato looks AMAZING! I have never actually combined nut butter with a sweet potato but considering I have both in my fridge at home, this might need to be dinner tonight 🙂

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 12:30 pm

      Oh, Becky..you have been missing out!! You must try the sweet potato/nut butter combo. It is heavenly!

  • Amanda @ .running with spoons. October 30, 2013, 12:53 pm

    I’m going to go ahead and assume that the maple AB is Justin’s, and then tell you that I have the same.exact.obsession with putting it on roasted kabocha. It’s like crack, I tell ya!

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 2:20 pm

      Honestly, it seriously IS!! I have been wanting to put it on kabocha but I STILL haven’t found any!! This weekend I am going to Whole Foods on a mission. I hope they have it!

  • Kim @ Hungry Healthy Girl October 30, 2013, 1:07 pm

    We were thinking alike with the overnight oats. And can I please get one of those almond butter slathered sweet potatoes over here! Can’t think of a more tasty dessert!!

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 2:21 pm

      Yes! You really need to do the sweet potato/AB combo! I am already planning another one for tonight :).

  • Allison @ Life's a Bowl October 30, 2013, 2:09 pm

    Mmm a sweet potato + nut butter is always a great snack… But I’ve never had it as dessert, I’ll have to try that 😉

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 2:21 pm

      Do it!! It totally makes my sweet tooth happy :).

  • Sharsti October 30, 2013, 2:37 pm

    Mm I love sweet potatoes! That’s a great idea to top it with almond butter:)

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 7:40 pm

      It is my favorite thing ever right now. You should definitely give it a try!

  • Amanda @ maepress October 30, 2013, 2:46 pm

    I have seriously got to try putting almond butter on my sweet potatoes! I keep seeing it everywhere and It looks so good. I always like to top them with savory stuff like chili, to balance out the sweetness.

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 7:41 pm

      I am pretty sure that almost everything tastes good on sweet potatoes ;), but yes…nut butters are ones of the best! Let me know if you try it out!

  • Katie @ Daily Cup of Kate October 30, 2013, 3:21 pm

    I seriously have been having a mircrowaved sweet potato topped with almond butter as a night time snack for the last 5 days…so good!

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 8:05 pm

      Isn’t it? I am so glad that there are others out there who share my love!! You are a smart woman! 😉

  • Dana @ Conscious Kitchen Blog October 30, 2013, 3:41 pm

    Wednesday snuck up on me too! Love your wraps for lunch. I’ve yet to try any Ezekiel products. I think I need to change that.

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 8:06 pm

      Oh yes, you should definitely try their products! I LOVE the tortillas and their bread is to die for!

  • Alexis @ Hummusapien October 30, 2013, 4:47 pm

    I love puffed kamut!! Per usual, your eats look fab. I’m always so impressed at your fruit and veggie intake!

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 8:07 pm

      Puffed kamut is SO good. I had no clue what it was when I first saw it in the stores, but I am so glad that I decided to try it! And trust me, girlie, you sure look like you get plenty of fruits and veggies in too!!

  • Nicole @ FruitnFitness October 30, 2013, 6:23 pm

    Oh yum! I’m sitting in class after my exam, hungry, while reading this… Bad idea! Now I’m even hungrier! I love sweet potato with nut butter, perfect combination!

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 8:07 pm

      Isn’t it SO good? I hope your class went well and you got to eat some tasty food after!

  • Katherine October 30, 2013, 6:27 pm

    Hummus, bananas, smoothies? Girl, we are on the same page when it comes to food! I’ll have to give those overnight oats a try! They look simply delicious!

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 8:08 pm

      Only the best foods, right? And yes! Please try the overnight oats. I am loooooving them right now.

  • Katie @ Blonde Ambition October 30, 2013, 7:03 pm

    That wrap looks amazing…. I’m a sucker for anything slathered in hummus!! 😀

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 30, 2013, 8:09 pm

      Oh, me too! It is part of the reason why I eat so many veggies ;).

  • Ang @ Nutty for Life October 30, 2013, 8:38 pm

    I feel like I always pick out the most random parts of peoples’ posts but I love La Croix sparkling water!! But it’s so expensive. I’ve been subbing with TJ’s sparkling water when I’m home and when I am at school with no TJ’s I buy plain sparkling water and add lemon and lime juice myself.

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 31, 2013, 7:13 am

      I had no idea that TJ’s had some. I’ll have to check that out!

  • Jan @ Sprouts n Squats October 31, 2013, 3:38 am

    Oh wow so you can freeze the jerk tempeh? I need more freezer friendly recipes!!

    Loving your monster smoothie and the wrap!

    And thank goodness the banana is back 😉

    • ClnEatingVegGrl October 31, 2013, 7:14 am

      YES!! I froze it and reheated it in the microwaved after it had thawed in the fridge and I couldn’t even tell that it had been frozen. So awesome!
