Happy Wednesday and What I Ate Wednesday! It is time for a short and sweet post of my recent eats! Forgive me, but I am spending every waking minute of my free time getting everything prepped and ready to go for my upcoming vacation. You do not mind though, do you? Let’s be honest, you mostly come here to look at/talk about the food, right? 😉
WIAW: June 11, 2014 (Recent Eats)
One of my favorite recent dinners made an appearance: Chickpea Tostadas.
Cereal! I told you last week that I was hooked on it, and the addiction is still going strong. I always go with a mixed bowl. One kind is simply not enough!
A delicious chickpea sandwich (more on this on Friday) on a toasted sesame seed bagel with Vegenaise and spinach + a pickle spear. If you haven’t noticed, I have a thing for pickles!
I love pretty much any and all fruits, but right now I am loving on peaches and nectarines. I am so glad that they are finally starting to come back in season.
Looks nasty, right? Well guess what… it tasted pretty nasty too 🙁 It is not that often that I make a recipe that I do not like, but this one was definitely not a keeper. I made this raw chili and barely made it through this bowl. The leftovers… yeah, those went down the garbage disposal. I hate wasting food, so you know this one really was not good. You win some, you lose some. I am just fortunate that most of the things I eat are winners.
Luckily, after a not-so-delicious dinner, I ate a wonderful lunch the next day. On the plate: quinoa that I boiled with water and a little bit of Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, steamed brussel sprouts, and a small red roasted potato topped with Melt buttery spread <– seriously, so good!
And finally, my favorite recent eat of the week:
I met up with Erin and Jordan last night at Kitchen Table, one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. We all ordered their three bean burger (vegan style for me!) and had the most delicious roasted potatoes on the side. Kitchen Table was actually the restaurant where I first met Erin last year and last night was the first time that I had met Jordan. I first realized that Jordan lived in Omaha after she won my Zevia giveaway, so I was super excited to finally hang out with her. We all had a fabulous time together! Having an awesome meal did not hurt either 😉
That’s all I have for you! Lots of tasty eats and one not-so-good one. They can’t all be good, right?
I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

We must’ve been thinking a like last night as I made chili too. BTW, I made the veg & quinoa stirfry the other night. It was delicious. I was smart enough and made extra for lunch leftovers 🙂
I am so glad that you enjoyed it, Jessie!! And yes… leftovers are a MUST!
That veggie burger was SO good! I had such a fun night with you guys! And I was thinking that too as I left, how it was the place where I met you and the place where we met Jordan. I can’t believe its been a year! Not to be super cheesy, but I’m so glad we’re friends!
So crazy, right? Kitchen Table is such a great place!! And that is not cheesy at all. I am SO glad we are friends, too 🙂
Where’s your green smoothie? 😉 I’m LOVING peaches and nectarines, too… and all other fruit right now!! Have fun on your vacation… where are you going?
Haha, oh don’t worry… green smoothies have been happening EVERY morning. They just didn’t make it into this post. I am going to Colorado! I’m super excited!
I can’t wait until I get my hands on some juicy peaches this season! And chick peas, I am alllll about chick peas right now.
Aren’t chickpeas one of the greatest foods EVER?? I never used to eat them before I became a vegetarian, but now they are a HUGE staple in my diet. In fact, I’ll be eating some today!
That chickpea tostada looks awesome!!
They are quite tasty, if I do say so myself! 😉 Let me know if you try them!
I NEED that chickpea sandwich in my life!!
It’s pretty darn good! Check by on Friday 🙂
I’m excited for that chickpea sandwich!! I love things like that for lunch (or an easy dinner!).
And I hear ya on wasting food – whenever I make something that just doesn’t turn out it makes me so mad … not really about my time but it’s when you can’t even eat it that I get upset!
Yes!! I will normally eat just about anything so that I don’t wait it, so when I throw something away you know I definitely DID NOT like it!
That sandwich looks stellar! Love meeting up with bloggers. And also love Vegenaise. I’m still obsessed! Oh and cereal. Lots of shared loves here lol
Haha we are practically the SAME person!! 😉 But in all seriousness, you have great taste!
I just haaaad to go look at the ingredients for raw chili, and it really sounds like it’d either be delicious or disgusting. Sorry it went disgusting 🙁 I think chili is just something I want piping hot with a side of bread or cornbread for dipping.
Yeah, it sounds super promising… but I just did not care for it AT ALL. I suppose it could be the fact that I also LOVE my chili hot. I think it is just meant to be warm and used for dippage 😉
Your picture of the raw chili made me laugh. I have definitely had some recipe experiments go terribly wrong 🙂
Don’t you hate it when that happens?? It is SO frustrating! 🙁
I am so seriously becoming obsessed with chickpeas!! Baked… MMMM they’re all crispy and amazing!
Aren’t they SO good?? They are definitely one of my favorite foods right now. I love throwing them in salads or just eating them by themselves for a snack.
Nomnom that chickpea sammie on a sesame bagel looks so dreamy!!! I treated myself to two organic peaches and they were heavenly! LOVE me some fuzzy, juicy peaches this time of year.
I am LOVING all of the fresh fruit right now! We are so spoiled by it in the Summertime. I sometimes take it for granted, but this year I am trying to eat as much as possible before Fall/Winter hits.
Ugh you now have me craving chickpeas. Chickpea sandwiches and chickpea tostadas sound amazing right now! I had some peaches in my smoothie this morning, and I’m feeling very spoiled by summer and it’s copious amounts of fresh fruit! I love it!
Chickpeas are the best! I highly recommend that you eat some up ASAP!! And yes… I’ve have been putting peaches in my smoothies too and it is SO good!
