Happy Wednesday, Friends! Thanks for stopping by to check out some of my eats. I have been going strong with the “Recent Eats” for my What I Ate Wednesday posts for about a month now and am certainly enjoying them more. Plus, not having to remember to photograph every single thing that I eat in one day sure is nice! Do you have any thoughts regarding the “Recent Eats” format? Is it a yay or a nay in your opinion? I would love to hear your feedback! But for now, let’s stick with it!
What I Ate Wednesday: July 9, 2014 (Recent Eats)
Back before the Fourth of July holiday, I was not feeling like cooking much so I scrounged around in my fridge and found some apple and sage Field Roast vegan sausages. I cooked one up and served it in a lettuce “bun” with sauerkraut, onions, tomatoes, dil relish, and mustard. I also ate a baby potato on the side topped with Melt butter, sea salt, and pepper. I think I might have to start eating this meal at least once per week!
This is definitely one of my favorite recent breakfasts. I made an egg sandwich with a toasted whole wheat English muffin, vegan Daiya cheddar “cheese,” and a fried egg. It actually tasted rather similar to a Egg McMuffin from McDonald’s… with a much better egg. I am not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. The “cheese” is what reminded me of it and I actually quite enjoyed it a lot! I also ate some strawberries on the side.
I must have been in the sausage/brat/hot dog kind of mood because I also recently ate the infamous Carrot Hot Dogs. I cooked two of them up and ate one on a wheat bun and one on a lettuce “bun.” Come back on Friday for a special post for these babies!
In the past, I had heard awesome things about three bean salads but had never tried them myself. I finally made some on a Sunday for the week and ate it for lunch three days. I loved it and loved how easy it was to make. More on this particular recipe in a future Friday Foodie Favorites post!
This is definitely one of my favorite snacks right now. I ate a sliced apple with a side of my Red, White, and Blue Almond Trail Mix. A little chocolate is always a good thing!
I am still going strong with the green smoothies! And guess what… I finally bought a non-Wintery glass! Go me! In the mix: unsweetened vanilla almond milk, vanilla Vega One, one frozen banana, frozen zucchini slices, and fresh spinach.
I did some baking on Sunday. On the menu were blueberry banana buckwheat bakes. I had three breakfasts all ready for the week! I am really loving food prep.
Not only is my smoothie obsession continuing, but so is my salad obsession! I fixed up a salad with field greens, sauerkraut, onions, red peppers, and a leftover veggie burger. I dressed it with Hillary’s Eat Well ranch chia dressing. The added protein from the veggie burger kept me full for hours.
This was a new one for me. I genearlly like to eat veggies with hummus for a snack in the evening and deciced to mix up my veggie of choice. This time it was steamed brussel sprouts with roasted garlic hummus. I will definitely be repeating this one!
And finally… we must end things with an extra tasty snack. Lately I have been loving on blue corn tortilla chips with salsa. It takes me back to my college days when my friends and I would sit in the hallway of our dorm and polish off a bag of chips and a jar of salsa. All I have to say is that it is a good thing the carpeting was a gray/brown color because there was plenty of salsa that didn’t quite make it onto the chips and into our mouths. Oh, the good ‘ole days! 😉
Have a great Wednesday everyone! And for my American friends, I hope your week back after the short week last week isn’t dragging too terribly!
