Happy Wednesday! We are almost more than halfway through the week, and it looks like we are also almost halfway through the month of March. On the one hand this makes me sad, but on the other it means we are less than two weeks away from my birthday- and that is a great thing!
So I have been slacking lately. For some reason I have had a really difficult time remembering to take pictures of my daily eats. As a result, I am going to combine my eats from two days this past week in order to create a full day of food. Just pretend I ate everything on the same day, okay? 😉
What I Ate Not Wednesday: March 12, 2014
Breakfast
No surprise here. Breakfast #1 is always a green smoothie. In the mix this time was unsweetened vanilla coconut almond milk, chocolate Vega One, frozen banana, frozen cranberries, frozen blueberries, and lots of spinach.
Breakfast #2 was pumpkin cocoa overnight oats with peanut butter stirred in and topped with puffed kamut cereal and fresh blueberries. I am so glad that blueberries are finally starting to come back into season. My credit card is happy about that, too!
Mid-Morning Snack
Cuties! And yes, this is a recycled picture. But hey, they always look the same, right? 😉
Lunch
Lunch was leftovers from the night before. I had baked tofu (marinated in Bragg’s Liquid Aminos) that I dipped in lots of barbecue sauce. One the side were mixed vegetables. I realize that this looks totally unappealing, but I promise that it was delicious!
Afternoon Snacks
In the afternoon I ate my current favorite snack: celery with crunchy natural peanut butter. I cannot get enough of the crunchy PB right now!
I also snacked on an apple. Pink Lady for the win!
Dinner
It was basically a “throw whatever is left in the fridge into a pan” kind of night. It actually turned out really delicious and I plan to share a bit more about it in a future post. It is basically a Mexican potato “hash” of sorts.
Evening Snacks
I am still really loving on blueberries and grapes. This snack is pretty much on repeat.
And finally…my other favorite snack: a baked sweet potato topped with Justin’s vanilla almond buttah…SO good!
Have a great Wednesday, friends! And for those of you in the Omaha area who are headed to Jillian Michaels’ Maximize Your Life Tour tonight, I hope to see you there!

You make being a vegetarian look so delicious. Seriously, write a book already will ya? 🙂 🙂
Haha, I would LOVE to have the opportunity to do so! Thank you for your kind words, Jessie! 🙂
So many good things in here! I have to agree with the comment above – you make me want to go veggie 🙂
I don’t even like meat that much anyway, and I’m a big fan of tofu. Maybe I should take the plunge?
The baked tofu looks delicious, as does that Mexican Hash!
Yeah, you really don’t need meat when you have delicious tofu, tempeh, seitan, etc., etc., etc.!
Your eats look great – especially that Mexican hash! I can’t wait to see a recipe! Also, I’m totally with you on blueberries coming back into season! Now I just have to wait another month for my farmers market to open back up and I will be one happy girl!
I know!!! Mine doesn’t open up for about another month and a half. I am excited for it!
that tofu looks soo good.
It was fantastic!!! Baked tofu is one of my favorite things. It cracks me up that I actually crave it because I used to think it was “scary!” 😉
I think I’m going to have to find some Justin’s Vanilla Almond Butter online so I can order some…I seriously miss that stuff!
Yes, you definitely need to! Ever since I have tried it I have been obsessed…maybe even more than with the maple!
It’s been awhile since I have seen a sweet Potatoe with nut butter…I want one!!! All of these eats look fabulous even if they aren’t all from one day. I actually love the throw everything in a pan creations!
I don’t think I will ever get tired of sweet potatoes with nut butter. They are SO good!
Loving all these eats! I just went vegetarian so I’m always looking for ideas! I made a hash recently very similar to yours. I threw in sweet potato, black beans, tomato, avocado, spinach, onion, and cottage cheese!
That is awesome! You’ll definitely find lots of recipes/ideas here! And your hash sounds great! Avocado is a fantastic addition.
Your green smoothie sounds delicious! I never though to put cranberries in a smoothie, but I think that sounds pretty good! Happy Wednesday 🙂
I love adding them in because it provides just a little bit of tartness. Plus, I have a TON of them in my freezer from when they were on sale after Christmas, haha.
I can’t believe that we are almost half way through the month already. Also, I love those kind of meals where you just throw what ever you have in the fridge in a pan.
Isn’t it crazy? It seems like just yesterday that it was February!
Mmm that mexican potato hash looks so good!! You’re making me hungry for lunch right now : )
Haha, thank you! Those are the best compliments that a food blogger can get. I love making other people hungry 😉
Your eats always look so good. I like the idea of baked tofu with BBQ sauce. I have some tempeh in the fridge that I have been waiting to make and now I want to make it to serve with BBQ sauce!
Oh yum!! That would be SO good! I am surprised I haven’t tried that yet, but I’ll definitely have to.
I’m clicking on your pumpkin cocoa oats recipe right now – this pregnant lady thinks those would be amazing for bfast! or hey maybe even for dinner
I have definitely eaten overnight oast for dinner before…and it was a fantastic decision! 😉
Mexican potato hash? Yes, please. It really looks amazing and way better than some of my everything-but-the-kitchen-sink dishes. Maybe it’s wrong but as I’ve never had any authentic Mexican dishes I just call anything I liberally spice with cayenne pepper, smoked paprika and chili flakes ‘sort of Mexican’ 😉 .
Haha, I love everything that is “sort of Mexican!!” Those spices are the best!
I’ve been on a huge crunchy PB kick too! That is so awesome that you are going to Jillian’s show tonight. She’s coming to Texas soon and I’ve thought that it would be a really fun.
Isn’t crunch PB awesome?? It cracks me up that I used to this it was gross. I was a weird child 😉
Oh my gosh, can’t wait to hear how Jillians show was tonight– I really want to go! And I just discovered unsweetened vanilla coconut almond milk- loving it!
I was actually a little disappointed in the show :(. Parts of it were good, but a lot of the information I already knew and/or did not agree with 🙁
I’m trying to make more green smoothies for myself..sometimes I just can’t get past the spinach taste in the smoothie. Need to train myself to like them more! LOL
Maybe I am weird, but I don’t even taste the spinach in mine! Haha…might be the awesome protein powder I use?
I’ve seen a number of people put nut butter on their sweet potato and have to try it out.
Oh my gosh, do it!! It is the BEST!
I need to give the sweet potato/nut butter combo a try! Everyone’s doing it at the moment!
Yes, you should! I started doing this about a year ago and have not stopped. It is SO good!
Have you tried frozen grapes & blueberries? It is like eating candy! I love them frozen. I never heard of topping a sweet potato with nut butter. That’s one I haven’t heard of!
Yes!! Frozen grapes are delicious! I have not tried frozen blueberries, though. Thanks for the heads up 🙂
Justin’s Vanilla Almond Butter is the BEST!
It seriously is!! I ate maple for forever and I almost feel bad that it is no longer my favorite! 😉
Haha I feel like most of my dinners are “throw everything in from the fridge” kinda meals so I can relate!
Sometimes they are just the way to go. Easy peasy and prevents me from wasting food, which I hate to do!
Your breakfast #2 looks delicious!!!!!!
It was SO good! It is definitely a current favorite of mine.
