There are officially only seven days until Christmas Eve. That is one week, people! How crazy is that? That also means that there are only two weeks until New Years Eve, which means we are so close to the year 2015. I don’t know about you, but 2014 has flown by for me.
How about I don’t get too far ahead of myself just yet, though. The Christmas season is, after all, one of my favorite times of year. I definitely do not want to be wishing it away. So instead, let’s focus on something that will keep my mind off of my upcoming Christmas vacation: food!
What I Ate Wednesday: December 17, 2014 (Recent Eats)
Obsessed would be an understatement. I made my 15-Minute Cauliflower and Corn Tacos for dinner last week. They are one of my favorite meals right now.
Veggie-filled individual pizzas on tortillas are my favorite quick and easy week-night meal.
An apple a day keeps Hannah happy!
Steamed brussel sprouts topped with sea salt and black pepper right out of the microwave. Can you see the steam?
A deeelicious stack of peanut butter and chocolate French toast… coming ‘atcha soon!
Raw veggies dipped in hummus have been one of my go-to snacks lately.
I don’t just love snacking on veggies. Fruit is another go-to for me. I am still loving red grapes, and now Cuties are back in my life. I am awfully excited about this!
Go Veggie! sent me some of their dairy-free cheese to try out…
I used the pepper jack flavor to make my Spaghetti Squash with Eggs and “Cheese.” While the slices did not melt as quite as much as I had hoped, the slightly spicy flavor was delicious. It worked really well with the sriracha sauce that I drizzled on top.
I am going to shock you with this one. I ate my acai bowl on Sunday instead of Saturday! 😉
This past weekend, I made up a bowl of vegan “cheezy” potato and leek soup. It was a success, so you can expect to see more about this one soon.
This is my new favorite way to drink my green smoothies. I might even love this more than my penguin cup!
It turns out that vegetarians like the maple brussel sprouts and bacon combo, too! I vegified it and it was so good. Expect this recipe on Monday just in time for Christmas!
I ate the BEST vegan kale and chickpea caesar salad ever this past weekend. No seriously, this was life-changing. It is from Oh She Glows and I will share more about it in a future Friday Foodie Favorites post!
I hope this post was veggie-filled enough for ya! Have a great Wednesday 🙂

Well… you obviously have no problem consuming a good amount of fruits & vegetables on a daily basis. Big props to you my dear friend!
Haha, on most occasions that is very true! I am lucky that I LOVE most fruits and veggies!
That caesar salad looks great! I saw it on Angela’s site and thought about cheating on my beloved quinoa caesar recipe… 🙂 Now I just might have to, because your version looks even better!!
Oh my gosh, you need to!! It is THE BEST!
SO. many. veggies. I love it! All of your meals look healthy, delicious, and filling!
Thanks Liv! I definitely try to make meals and snacks that are not only healthy, but delicious! I certainly like to eat a lot, too, so they have to be filling!
I love the idea of using cauliflower in tacos. The texture is meaty and it absorbs whatever spice you cook it in. I’m going to try that soon. Alex would love that penguin glass, she’s obsessed with penguins!
YES to cauliflower in tacos! I am obsessed with using cauliflower for whatever dishes normally contain chicken. It works so well!
That soup looks divine 😉
I am kinda stressin’ now about the holidays! I need to still make my gifts, and plan my menu…AH!
I have decided that I’m not going to cook much for Christmas this year. I made about 3/4 of the dishes for Thanskgiving and it just stressed me out, haha! I’ll think I’ll only make about 2 this time around.
Wow, I can’t decide which photo looks best- I want to try everything. What I am sure about is that I can’t wait to get that french toast recipe (:
It is pretty darn delicious! I actually just ate some of the leftovers this morning for breakfast 😉
Those tacos look amazing! I def need to try! 🙂
They are definitely one of my favorite things ever right now! You’ll have to give them a try!
Peanut Butter and Chocolate french toast?? You are a GENIUS! Cant wait for the recipe!
Haha, thanks Bethany! 😉 I’ll try to get it up on the blog shortly!
Potato leek soup is one of the simplest and best tasting soups there is. I heart it. And I love that you’re still drinking smoothies even in the winter — right there with ya, girl 🙂
Yes!! Another smoothie lover! I drink smoothies year round, just like I eat soup year round! 😉
I now have two big cravings – one for tempeh and one for french toast! Not sure if I could combine them… only one way to find out!
Make tempeh bacon and then it will be just like breakfast… or brinner! 😉
Everything looks wonderful, especially those tacos. I think I may have to give them a try.
You definitely should, Gwyndolyn! Please let me know if you do 🙂
I already told you on Instagram that I LOVE leeks so that potato and leek soup looks delicious! Also drooling over the individual veggie pizzas!
Who knew that something called a “leek” could be SO good? I love them, especially in soup!
Wow, all of your meals look wonderful. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing more about this vegan chickpea caesar salad! Looks amazing!
It is SO good! It is one of my favorite recent recipes that I have tried lately!
Well I am definitely looking forward to both the peanut butter chocolate french toast and those maple brussels sprouts! They look fantastic!!
Both were definitely highlights of my week! I’ll be sharing them shortly 🙂
Oo your pizza looks amazing! I love that you put it on a tortilla. What a great way to use up extras. I seem to always end up with way too many tortillas.
Oh yes! It is the perfect way to use up leftovers! I actually keep my leftovers in the freezer and just pop them out when I need a quick dinner. It works wonderfully!
Oh man, so much yumminess spread throughout this post!! One of my all time favorite go to meals is a quick tortilla pizza. You can literally top it with whatever you want!
Yes, I so agree! My favorite toppings are peppers, pineapple, and sauerkraut. It sounds strange, but it is so good!
Wow, those tacos look so unique! And delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Jenn! I am loving them right now. I hope you try them!
wow, those tacos look amazing!! I might have to try sometime 🙂
You absolutely should! They are one of my favorite dinners for a reason! 😉
Yummmmm, love all the vegetables! Totally going to try your spaghetti squash with eggs and cheese.
It is one of my current favorites right now. I cannot get enough of spaghetti squash. Let me know if you try it out!
Hey lady! I’m been MIA from the blogging world but I hope to be back 🙂
Love the 15 min recipe!
Thanks so much, Jocelyn! And welcome back 🙂
Everything is soo colourful and sounds amazing!! 🙂

Thanks, Brittney! We certainly eat with our eyes first, so I like to make everything as colorful as possible!
I just made that same Caesar Salad the other night! So good!!
Isn’t it awesome?? I already have plans to make it again this week!
