Guess what? Not only is today Wednesday (Happy Hump Day!), but it is also my half birthday! Does anyone else like to pretend that their half birthday is kind of a big deal? No, that’s just me? 😉 Even if you aren’t into celebrating half birthdays, let’s at least celebrate the fact that it is Wednesday and today is all about sharing the latest and greatest of my eats! FYI, please excuse some of my not-so-pretty Instagram pictures. It turns out I can’t take my big beautiful Nikon everywhere that I go!
What I Ate Wednesday: September 24, 2014 (Recent Eats)
A scrumptious stack of pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes topped with peanut butter. Um, yeah… these are good. I’ll be posting the recipe soon!
An apple a day keeps the doctor away! I hope that is the case because I rarely go a day without an apple.
I made Robyn’s Lemony Ginger Red Lentils again and loved them just as much as before. I served mine over cauliflower rice.
If you would have told me a few years back that I would be eating dried prunes… and loving them, I would have thought you were nuts! I have been snacking on a few of these each day for the past two weeks.
A cookout at my manager’s house where I ate two grilled Hillary’s black rice burgers, an Asian salad, and macaroni and cheese with corn. You know you have an awesome manager when he is extra careful to grill your burgers on a separate part of the grill and uses different utensils. I have trained him well! 😉
I also had a big slice of chocolate cake that his wife made. It was awesome!
That would be tempeh “bacon” on a salad. I’ll have the recipe up for you soon!
Still going strong on my chips and salsa snack obsession.
I made Robyn’s Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai for the first time in awhile. It was a great reminder of why I love it so much. I am sharing two of Robyn’s recipes in one post?!? Yes… because they are that good!
I went to the Nebraska Women in Higher Education Leadership Conference on Friday. I actually brought food with me because I was not sure if they would have anything vegetarian for lunch, but I was pleasantly surprised. I saved my packed lunch for dinner and ate a salad with veggies, fruit, and a roll.
A new, delicious chickpea salad. Recipe coming soon!
A bowl of mixed cereal with Love Grown Strawberry Power O’s. They are so good!
Tell me, what have you been eating lately? Any recipe links you want to share?

Can’t wait for that chickpea salad recipe…they are my fave. Oh, and I try to celebrate my half birthday every year but my husband won’t acknowledge it. How rude. LOL!!!
How dare him!! He needs to get with it and at least buy you flowers or something!! 😉
Since I’m always telling you how good your food looks, let’s change it up for today… HAPPY 1/2 BIRTHDAY 🙂 🙂
Haha, thank you Jessie!!! 🙂
Josh’s half birthday falls on Valentine’s day, so I like to pretend that we celebrate his so I can throw a fit when I don’t get a present on mine 😉
Oooo, good strategy!!! I hope he buys that! 😉
ahhh I AWAIT the pancake recipe!!!!!
It is pretty darn delicious!! I’ll be sharing it next week 🙂
I still celebrate my half birthday!
Yay!!! I’m glad I am not the only one 🙂
Such a great WIAW! I love a nice stack of pumpkin pancakes. Yours look especially delicious!!
Thank you Lindsay! I will be posting the recipe soon 🙂
Every Wednesday you make me drool! I have never seen one thing on here that doesn’t interest me.
I have yet to try spaghetti squash pad thai but I’ve heard it’s awesome. Will have to do soon. And I can’t wait to see your chickpea salad too!
Haha, thank you Sarah!! If you are ever in Omaha you will have to come cook and eat with me! And you definitely need to try spaghetti squash pad thai soon. I am excited to try your burrito bowl that you posted today!
Omg tempeh bacon? I want!!
It is awesome! Maybe I will convert you into a tempeh lover after all 😉
I don’t really celebrate my half birthday, but I do always think about it on the day of! I love snacking on chips and salsa or any kind of dip really. There’s a Greek yogurt jalapeno dip from Trader Joe’s that I can’t get enough of right now. So delicious!
Chips and salsa are one of those snacks that you never get tired of. I LOVE them… maybe a little too much? 😉
Happy Half birthday!! I totally celebrate too! Looks like a lot of yummy eats as usual 🙂
Good!! We should all celebrate, right?? 🙂
OK wow…I am SO excited I just found you!! I just turned more whole foods plant based, and LOVE everything you just posted!! Plus, you are from NE–one of my favorite states (lived there this summer).
You’re awesome!
Thank you, Kirtley! I so appreciate that 🙂 I hope you find some great WFPB ideas here!
I’m such an apple person, too!! I’m glad it’s apple season so they’re a little easier on my budget, haha.
You and me both! I hate spending $10 on a bag of apples 😉
I really think I could eat pancakes for every meal- especially pumpkin chocolate chip ones- yum!
I’d have to agree! Plus there are so many endless combinations for pancakes that we’d never get bored 😉
Oh my! Can’t wait for that pancake recipe. I’m back into a pancake kick now that the weather is starting to get chilly. And happy half birthday! I just realized my half birthday is a couple of days away from Christmas. Never thought of it 🙂
Well you most definitely NEED to celebrate it this year!!
