It is the first What I Ate Wednesday post of June. That’s right. June. How crazy is that? I’m pretty excited that the sixth month of the year has arrived, because I have all sorts of fun things going on over the next 30 days. Bring on the good times!
And bring on the good food…
What I Ate Wednesday: June 3, 2015
On this particular day, I had the sweet and savory craving going on for breakfast. I toasted up some gluten-free bread and made a breakfast sandwich with vegan cheese, an egg fried in coconut oil, strawberry jam, avocado, and a pinch of sea salt. I ate it open-faced alongside some red grapes. Has anyone ever wondered why they are called “red” grapes when they should really be called “purple/maroon” grapes?
My eggs craving continued into lunch time. I made a chickpea flour breakfast pizza topped off with guacamole, salsa, scrambled eggs, green onions, and sriracha. It was super filing and super delicious.
Around 3:00 I drank a green smoothie with unsweetened coconut milk, water, chocolate Vega One protein powder (<– affiliate link), frozen banana, frozen cucumber, frozen blueberries, and frozen spinach. It was so cold and icy… just the way I like it!
That evening, I met up with Joanna (and baby Everly), Erin, and Jordan for dinner at Mark’s Bistro in Dundee. I ordered the gluten-free Carnitas Tacos, which were served alongside white rice and cumin black beans. Everything was delicious, but I drank my smoothie a little too close to dinnertime so I was not super hungry. I ate one of the tacos with the rice and beans and boxed up the rest.
After over an hour and a half of talking and a 15-minute car ride home, I was hungry again. I ate my other two tacos, which tasted just as good cold!
I finished off my night with this new-to-me Kit’s Organic lemon vanilla + chia seeds bar. I warmed it up in the microwave for 15 seconds and topped it off with a little crunchy almond butter. It was the perfect late night snack!
Every single thing about this day was 100% delicious. If I could repeat this day of eats weekly, I absolutely would.
What is your favorite way to cook and eat eggs?

So many yummy eats!! I want that breakfast sandwich!!
It was SO good! I love starting my day out with a tasty sandwich!
That breakfast pizza is calling me.
I can’t blame you there. It is SO delicious!
YUM! My fave are the tacos – I want to go back to Mark’s to order them! I ate the rest of my Mac & Cheese when I got home too 😉
Great minds think alike! And I’m glad you had tried them and told me they were good. I LOVED them!
Everything looks so delicious! My favorite way to eat eggs is over easy. Justin’s makes them so yummy! 🙂
Over easy eggs are definitely the best! I am always a little suspicious of people who say they don’t like their eggs cooked that way 😉
Everything looks so yummy- particularly your breakfast! I love the idea of warming the granola bar. In the past I’ve tried that with a Luna bar and it sparked and charred 🙁
Oh my! That sounds scary! I say try it with Larabars or Kit bars 🙂
The whole grape thing is like the blueberry thing :/
Have you had the Kit’s Organic Cashew bar? That one is the Bomb.com!
YES! I think that one is the BEST flavor!
That is one perfectly fried egg! Is it sad that I was really excited about that taco holder and now I want to get one for myself?
Not sad at all! I have little plastic taco holders from the dollar section at Target that I LOVE!
I make eggs in a little pot called the Stonewave pot. Have you seen these? It’s a little pot that has a lid with a whole in it. It kind of looks like a mini tagine. It allow steam to cook the food. Any way I spray with cooking spray, pour in layer of egg whites and stuff it with as much baby spinach as I can, season and put lid on then microwave for 4 minutes. I come out as a molded souffle “thingy”. It slides right out and I eat with with toast, fruit preserves and more fresh fruit. it’s wonderfully light but the eggs make it filling too. http://stonewaverecipes.com/about/
That sounds seriously awesome. Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
please forgive my poor grammar in the previous comment–I had surgery recently and my right hand has decreased feeling. I can’t tell if the feel the keyboard key normally and thus miss letters,etc!
And no worries at all! I hope your recovery goes well!
I love all this good food. I love being a vegetarian! I am so glad that you show we can eat more than just a salad!
It pains me to not be a vegetarian right now due to health reasons, but I still LOVE eating veg-friendly food as often as possible and will continue to do so whenever I can. It is some of the most delicious food around!
I’m not sure I have a favorite way to eat eggs but I’ve definitely grown less attracted to runny yolks. I know it’s really popular but I preferred them hard boiled, scrambled or over hard.
And those tacos looks so good but I have to admit, it’s so weird to see you eating pork! I’m happy that you are trying to new things to help yourself feel better but I always associated you as a fellow veggie so it’s definitely going to take some getting used to for me. 🙂
I really like over hard eggs, too, so I definitely relate!
And yes.. it is still SO weird to buy, cook, and eat meat. SO weird. I just hope it pays off!
I love the sweet + savory combo for breakfast! That sounds delicious, especially with the cheese! Question for you: why vegan cheese? I figured it must be due to the fact you’re a vegan, but there is an egg. Now you’ve piqued my curiosity!
Favorite way to cook eggs for me: scrambled with hot dogs probably!
Haha! So confusing, right? I used to follow a mostly plant-based diet, but that has changed greatly over the past several months due to health reasons. BUT… I am still working my way through a lot of my vegan products. The cheese is one of them!
Also… scrambled eggs with hot dogs sounds crazy good!
That breakfast pizza is SUCH a good idea! love it!
It is the BEST! You definitely need to try it out!
Oh my that breakfast sounds amazing! The only time I had a sweet and savory combo of that nature was a turkey sandwich with some jam and a cranberry raisin bread (with other fixings). You just reminded me how yummy it was!
Ahh, sweet and savory is SO good! I just love it! You should definitely eat it more often 🙂
Your breakfast looks so amazing!!! Can you cook for me? lol
Sure, I’d love to!! 😉
I love poached eggs, but I don’t make them often- they can be a pain.
<3 tacos always!
I have never trying making poached eggs myself, but I’d love to learn. They are delicious!
YUM! I need to try that chickpea flour breakfast pizza!
You seriously do. It’s a Hummusapien recipe and it is SO good!
OOOO chickpea flour is soooo on my “TO USE” list for baking!
You most definitely NEED to! I love, love, love it!
I am not a big fan of eggs, but all this looks great!
Bummer about the eggs, but at least you think everything else looks tasty 😉
Ooo that looks like a delicious day of eating, for sure! I haven’t seen those Clif bars before – I’m going to keep an eye out for them because they sound yummy!
My favourite way to cook eggs is to steam them in a big bed of greens cooked in coconut oil! Deeelicious. That being said, it’s a little time-consuming and I don’t always have the time to do that. So scrambled it is!
You can never go wrong with scrambled eggs!
And you MUST try those Kit bars if you can find them. They always have awesome ingredients and are super delish!
I now feel like I definitely need that little taco stand thingy in my life!
All of your eats look deeeeeeeelish! I love frittatas and eggs IN dishes – but I can’t eat them on their own!
How funny! I’m planning to make a frittata this weekend with my girlfriends. I hope it turns out good!
