Happy Wednesday and What I Ate Wednesday, y’all! I am sticking to my “minimal technology use over my Christmas vacation” plan, but wanted to pop in quickly to share What I Ate on Christmas Day!
Breakfast was a mixed bowl of cereal, including: Kashi Go Lean, puffed kamut, Love Grown Honey Power O’s, and Whole Foods 365 Whole Wheat Flakes. I topped it with unsweetened almond milk.
Unwrapping presents must have made me hungry because I snacked on some kale chips…
…and a frosted sugar cookie between breakfast and lunch.
At 1:00, we all sat down to Christmas dinner at my parents’ house. I ate vegan lentil loaf, cheesy potato casserole, green bean casserole, fruit salad, and a roll. I went back for seconds of the potatoes and fruit salad.
After my tummy settled a bit, I snacked on a couple of cookies and Oreo balls. Does anyone else agree that Oreo balls are one of the best desserts ever?
On Christmas night, Jeremy and I went to his mom’s to celebrate. My dinner consisted of a couple of plates of snacks and appetizers. I determined that I apparently really like chips.
I finished the night off with a slice of the vegan chocolate pie (which I de-veganized with whipped topping) that I brought. It was so. good.
It may not have been the healthiest of days… but I try not to be too hard on myself during the holidays. I eat healthy 90% of the time, so a few a lot of cookies does not mean much in the grand scheme of things. I hope you ate good during your holiday celebrations, too!

That cheese potato casserole sounds great. Do you have the recipe? Or is it a family secret?
My mom made it and has been making it for years. I’m not sure if it is a “secret” or not 😉 Maybe I’ll have to get it posted here on the blog! 😉
Looks like such a great meal! Happy new year to you!
Thanks, Samantha! I hope your NYE is great too!
Your Christmas dinner looks awesome! :] It kinda reminds me of my church meals for potluck! 😛 (My church is pretty much all vegetarian, haha.) I definitely agree with you on the Oreo balls. <3 They are glorious!
Wow, apparently I need to come visit your church! It sounds like an awesome place!
Everything looks great! Kale chips and sugar cookies is a great combo!
Totally random, right? But they definitely hit the spot. It was a nice balance between healthy and extremely unhealthy 😉
That is the cutest little cookie, haha!
Isn’t it? It was almost too pretty to eat… almost! 😉
I need to go to Trader Joes and try those Kale Chips. We just had one built. Vegan pie… that is new to me. Looks good.
Yes, you definitely need to stock up on their kale chips. That is one of my FAVORITE things to buy from TJ’s!
I never thought I’d say this, but that plate of veggies looks SO good. Actually, all of it does. I tried kale chips once and wasn’t a fan. Maybe I should pick up some from Trader Joe’s this time. Or make my own. Yum!
Ahh, bummer on the kale chips. I LOVE making my own and that TJ’s version is definitely delicious when I feel like splurging. You should definitely give them another try!
Vegan chocolate pie sounds so yummy! And I have been hooked on sugar cookies ever since Christmas….terrible!
The pie is SO good. You should definitely make it! I hear you on the cookies and sweets. But hey, the holidays only come around once per year!
Kale chips are my favorite too.
