Wednesday has rolled around again! Who is excited? I am! This week has been going by rather quickly and I could not be more thrilled that the work week is almost more than halfway over. My dad will be here in Omaha this weekend so I am really looking forward to that and my first Nutrition test will be finished after tomorrow (P.S. studying for tests for classes you are “taking for fun” is really difficult <– like, I have very little motivation). But that is not all that I am looking forward to. Today I am excited to check out the eats from so many other bloggers throughout the blogosphere. I cannot even begin to tell you the number of ideas I have discovered for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks just by taking a peak into others’ eats. Hopefully you find some inspiration from my What I Ate Wednesday posts as well!
What I Ate Wednesday: September 17, 2014 (Recent Eats)
It had been forever since I had made homemade sweet potato fries. I changed this when I was back home and served them with a salad and cooked frozen peas. In other words, so many of my favorite vegetables were involved in this meal.
I try not to buy packaged kale chips very often, but when I found these on clearance for $3 at TJ Maxx, I knew that I had to buy them. My only regret is that I did not buy more than one package!
I cannot get enough of this kale blazer juice. It is my go-to whenever I am away from my Ninja and my green smoothies.
Everything in moderation… including jelly beans.
Taco salad with spicy roasted chickpeas, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, onions, salsa, and blue corn tortilla chips.
Have you tried the dark chocolate peanut Larabars? If not, you really should. It sort of feels like eating a candy bar, but they have an ingredient list that I am totally on board with.
Cantaloupe and blueberries. You can never have too much fruit!
I am obsessed with wraps right now. This one included hummus, lettuce, onions, sauerkraut, a kale veggie burger, and mustard. It looks a bit strange doesn’t it? I promise it was delicious!
This macaroni and cheese that I posted about on Monday. Don’t forget to enter the giveaway!
Have you put lentils on your salads yet? If not, you need to! This salad included lettuce, peppers, zucchini, carrots, tomatoes, sauerkraut, pineapple, vegan chia ranch dressing, and lentils. It was so good.
I feel like my What I Ate Wednesday posts wouldn’t be the same without sharing a new popcorn flavor with you. This one is definitely a winner!
Another acai bowl. I have a feeling these are going to become my Saturday morning ritual.
See? I told you I was obsessed. I took this wrap to lunch at work. It had hummus, spinach, zucchini, tomatoes, and sauerkraut on it. Please try this combination right now and thank me later.
The most delicious vegan grilled “cheese” sandwich. Come back tomorrow for more on this one!
That’s a wrap (nice play on words, right?), friends! Tell me… what have you been eating lately?

I’ve had that Simply Balanced popcorn recently – it’s so good!! I’m a fellow popcorn addict 🙂 I also love that green Naked juice. Have a great day!
Isn’t it awesome?? I’m glad to hear there are others out there who go nuts for different popcorn flavors too! 🙂
And now I must make sweet potato fries soon – it’s been forever since I’ve made them! But man, they are one of my favorites!
Love that lentil salad – I’ve been obsessed with lentils the last few weeks and I don’t see that train stopping anytime soon! haha
Isn’t it funny how we sometimes forget about the simplest and best foods? Sweet potato fries will definitely be sticking around here for awhile 🙂
I think I live on sweet potato fries. I easily make them four nights a week lol. As for that corn bread pudding recipe, a few of my relatives and friends make it in different ways. I will ask my best friend for her recipe but it is far from healthy yet it is soo good!
Thank you!! Healthy doesn’t matter on Thanksgiving right?? 😉
I just bought acai today and it’s on sale for $4.99 at Whole Foods! PS I’m dying for that vegan chia ranch recipe 🙂
Oh yay! I’ll have to look at my Whole Foods this weekend! And the dressing is actually from Hillary’s. Their dressings are awesome!
I’ve been eating a lot of popcorn lately – best snack ever! Oh and those Dark Chocolate Lara bars are ALWAYS in my pantry! They were my “go to” snack while I was working and I like to keep a spare in Eleanor’s diaper bag (you know, in case of a snack emergency haha)
Snack emergencies are NOT good!! I get super cranky in those situations. I am glad you are prepared 😉
I love homemade sweet potato fries too. . . totally go through phases where I make them all. the. time and then I forget about them for a while. . . I think I need to make them ASAP. 🙂
Yes, you sure do! We ALL need more sweet potato fries in our lives 🙂
WIAW Love here – girl your eats are making me hungry! Love the roasted chickpeas over salad and the lentils on the salad. All things I must start doing because bless lentils are good eats!! That popcorn might have to be my next indulgence 🙂
Lentils and roasted chickpeas on salads are amaaaazing! You really need to try them as toppings. They help add a lot of protein and keep me full, too!
Those nachos sound great!! (But in a non-spicy version for me! :D)
I need to make more kale chips. It has been way too long!
Yes, you need to share the recipe you use with me! I have a dehydrator and need to actually USE it!
Okay, I want all of your eats! Seriously, everything looks amazing. I’m definitely going to add lentils to my salads from now on, holy yum!!
Yes! You should definitely start adding lentils. They make the perfect salad topping!
After your “real” mac and cheese from Annie’s, I was at Sprouts this morning and the mac and cheese was on sale for 99 cents each! I bought several as they have different flavors. Can’t wait to try them and add veggies!
Their mac and cheese is delish! I am sure you will enjoy it 🙂
My, those chickpeas look good…
They are awesome! Roasted chickpeas make for fantastic salad toppers and I also love eating them just for a snack.
I love cantaloupe and blueberries. There’s something magical about that combination!
It is definitely awesome! I am going to be so sad when neither are in season soon. I am trying to savor them now while I can.
