what i ate wednesday: issue 12

Figure 1. Breakfast: 'the usual' - black coffee and a bowl of Kashi GoLean Original mixed with Post Great Grains Cranberry Almond Crunch cereal, 1/2 sliced banana, and almond milk.

Figure 2. Lunch: a baked sweet potato topped with cinnamon, almond butter, and plain Greek yogurt. Although it was unfortunate that I had to scarf this in 5 minutes between meetings.

Figure 3. Afternoon snack: a Pink Lady apple and almonds.

Figure 4. Dinner, part 1: a massive spinach salad with roasted broccoli, onions, carrots, mushrooms, candied pecans, and topped with leftover (yes, I'm still eating it) homemade cranberry sauce, salt, and pepper. Soooo good.

Figure 5. Dinner, part two: a piece of whole grain toast, hummus, and cucumber sprinkled with salt. Inspired by Yolie, this combination is so fantastic I had it three days in a row.

Figure 6. The dinner goodness, side by side.

Figure 7. Dessert: whole wheat graham crackers.

And that concludes another What I Ate Wednesday (featuring what I ate Monday, December 5).

  5. I have to say, your WIAW's are probably my favorite. All of your meals always look so delicious. :)
    I've been eating sweet potatoes like they're going out of style lately. I can't seem to get enough. But, I hate when I'm forced to eat quickly or on-the-go. It's the worst!
