This What I Ate Wednesday is going to be short and sweet because, to be honest, I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off this week. I got back from a weekend in Iowa on Monday afternoon, have been working like a busy bee and squeezing in some friends time, all while getting ready for the thing I have been looking forward to for months now: a week in Colorado! Saturday can hurry up and get here any day now.
Instead of dragging this out any longer (because I still have several posts to write for you for next week!), let’s get right to the eats:
What I Ate Wednesday: June 17, 2015
This particular day happens to be from Sunday when I was back home in Iowa for a friend’s wedding. My day began with one of my current favorite breakfasts: a sliced whole banana topped with creamy almond butter + 2 whole eggs fried in coconut oil. Lately I have been loving adding some mustard to my eggs!
I ate lunch around 1:00. I baked up some sweet potato fries that I served alongside oven roasted turkey and peas. Carbs, protein, and veggies all in one meal? Yes please!
In the afternoon I snacked on an organic apple.
I also drank my favorite kombucha flavor: Guava Goddess from Synergy. It was just what I needed to brighten up the rainy day.
Dinner was by far my favorite meal of the day. I always take advantage of my parents’ grill whenever I am home. We grilled up burgers and brats. I chose a turkey burger that I served on a lettuce “bun.” I topped it off with onions, tomatoes, avocado, and yellow mustard. On the side I ate grilled asparagus, cantaloupe, and plantain chips.
I ended off the night with one of my favorite treats: popcorn. I am taking advantage of eating it as frequently as possible since I will be without it for a while once I start my Whole 30 in July.

What is your favorite thing to make on the grill?
Comments on this entry are closed.
My favorite thing to grill would probably have to be either shrimp or veggies (zucchini, onions, corn, mushrooms). Turkey burgers are pretty good though, I like to give mine an Indian flare with lots of spices. Hope you had fun at your friends wedding! 🙂
Oh, I love that idea to use Indian spices in turkey burgers. I’ll have to try that!
Mmmm burgers and summer just go so well together! Now, I’m really craving one : )
They seriously do. One of my favorite things about summer is definitely having the ability to grill. Grilled food is almost always healthy and delicious!
O have fun in colorado dear!!! Jealous!
I’m grilling chicken tonight! The BEST thing for the grill!
I am so super duper excited! I can’t wait until Saturday FINALLY gets here 🙂
Gahhh join the headless chicken club!
No wonder dinner was your favourite- Look at those beauties!
Happy WIAW thanks for linking up!
I’m glad I am not the only one who is crazy busy… it feels good to have company in the crazy club 😉
Bananas with almond butter! <3 <3 <3 Yum!
It is an addiction… and one that I’m not sad about!
I love sweet potato fries! And next time I fry eggs I’m totally going to add some mustard! YUM
Do it!! Lately I have been loving topping them with either yellow mustard or Annie’s makes a horseradish mustard that is SO good!
I have always wanted to visit Colorado! On my bucket list! How fun that your trip is coming up!
I have gotten hooked on popcorn the last two weeks … I haven’t had it in forever and now apparently I’m making up for lost time 🙂
You most definitely need to go to CO! This will be my third time there in four years… I obviously love it 😉
And yay for popcorn! I’m telling you. It never ever gets old to me.
Guava is my favorite flavor of kombucha as well!
Great minds think a like! I love, love, love that one!
As a new “pseudo-paleo” eater, I’m happy to have found your blog via blog love. Gave you a tweet as well!
Thanks so much, Kristin! I am just now diving into the paleo style of eating (I’m planning a Whole 30 for July), so it has been a fun and interesting journey so far. I’m glad you stopped by. Don’t be a stranger!
Veggies on the grill are my favorite, especially summer squash, mushrooms, and sweet potatoes.
I have never grilled sweet potatoes, but now you have me REALLY wanting to!
I think I missed wine and craft beer the most on the Whole30! I have never had that flavor of kombucha!
I can totally see how that will be. I’m getting used to the whole beer thing (other than the occasional gluten-free version), but not have ANY alcohol will be a bit of a challenge!
Mmm burgers & brats I would have had a nice sampling of EVERYTHING! LOL!
Oh yes… grilling food is definitely one of the best parts of summer!!
