Figure 1. Breakfast: a bowl of Kashi GoLean Original mixed with Quaker Oatmeal Squares, 1/2 sliced banana, and almond milk. I also had 1/2 banana (un-pictured) before my morning run. 
Figure 2. Lunch: a spinach and romaine salad with roasted Brussels sprouts, grape tomatoes, carrots, an over-easy egg, white wine vinegar, and Sriracha. A toasted whole wheat English muffin on the side.
Figure 3. An egg yolk close-up. A runny yolk mixed with vinegar makes a delicious and protein-packed salad dressing.
Figure 4. Afternoon snack #1: a Pink lady apple and salt and pepper cashews.
Figure 5. Afternoon snack #2: another banana before my evening cycling class.
Figure 6. Dinner: leftover chickpea pot pie with cornbread crust and roasted asparagus topped with leftover cheddar-beer sauce.
Figure 7. Dessert: a piece of dark chocolate filled with smooth ganache flavored with Rwandan origin coffee.And that concludes another What I Ate Wednesday (featuring what I ate Tuesday, March 20).
I'm going to make that chickpea pot pie. It looks so good again as leftovers.
ReplyDeletethanks! you should do it. it is really impressive and not really that hard. just a bit time consuming is all. and i was reminded last night as i was eating the leftover how great it is. got better i think with time. just re-heat in oven so the cornbread doesn't get soggy. i have one more serving left reserved for Thursday night!
DeleteOMG that chickpea pot pie looks incredible. I've actually been randomly craving pot pie lately and this looks like a really good/better/healthy alternative to the meat-filled kinds. I love the egg-on-salad idea too! egg yolks kind of freak me out but I love how they taste so hiding them as a "salad dressing" type thing is a really good idea. And umm chocolate filled with Rwandan Coffee ganache?!? epic!! I'm a huge coffee freak, that sounds totally gourmet!
ReplyDeleteyeah it is definitely a super tasty and healthier pot pie option. give it a try!
Deleteyour food always looks so healthy and delish...very inspiring! love your sneaks too!
ReplyDeletethanks, jennifer. and thanks for noticing my shoes! they are my new trainers and i love them :)
DeleteYour salads always look so delicious!
ReplyDeletethanks jen! i do pride myself on beautiful salad creations...
DeleteI love runny yolks! I eat an over easy egg sandwich everyday with some bacon and it is just amazing. A meal I definitely look forward to everyday! I love how you used it as part of your salad dressing. I need to try that!
ReplyDeletea runny yolk is a beautiful thing. and you? on a sandwich with bacon? that, i'm sure, is awesome. using them as a 'dressing' is really a great thing. give it a try!
DeleteSalt and pepper flavored anything is always delicious. And I will need to be making that pot pie very soon!!
ReplyDeleteyeah these cashews rock. i am having to implement some serious self control not to destroy the entire container in one sitting.
DeleteI am loving your lunch!! Eggs on a salad is a truly delicious delight :)
ReplyDeleteagreed. and this is a recent discovery for me. can't beleive it took me so long to try!
DeleteThat salad looks incredible! I love that picture of the yolk - total yolk porn haha. I love those kind of pictures!
ReplyDeletehaha don't you just love food porn? :) only another food blogger would apprciate that pic that much. i caught myself staring at it too. :)
DeleteThat english muffin looks so good. I miss the nooks and crannies! I really like runny egg yolks as well, too bad I can never perfect egg-poaching.
ReplyDeletethose nooks and crannies - i 'll tell you what you can't beat 'em!
DeleteI've never thought about putting brussels in a salad...sounds like a good way to make it more exciting, esp since I love those things.
ReplyDeleteyeah i had roasted a batch that was about to go bad on saturday and stuck them in the fridge - made for an awesome salad addition for sure.
DeleteOh egg yolks. They really do make the best salad dressing!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so good. Esp. the chocolate- that always wins.
ReplyDeletechocolate does always win.
DeleteOh that chickpea pot pie...it looks so comforting!
ReplyDeletecomfort on a plate, faith. comfort on a plate.
Deleteall your eats look so yummy, especially the cashews+apple and the chickpea pot pie!
ReplyDeleteyummy day of eats!! that is exactly what i had for breakfast today, imagine that ;)
ReplyDeletehaha hey there cereal twin. :) imma have to check your blog for your breakfast. :)
DeleteGlad to find your blog through WIAW. You had me at Figures. Brilliant. Many moons ago I read science journals and was well aquatinted with figures. Now I read Dr. Suess and food blogs. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm doing the egg over greens lunch tomorrow. Mmmmm.
hi, michelle! i'm glad you came by. now i must say - dr. suess and food blogs are oftentimes much more appealing than science journals! i'd like to think my blog combines these things. but, in a much more light hearted way! thanks for stopping by - wiaw is the best.
DeleteMy rule...Sriracha on Everything!!
ReplyDeletei JUST discovered Sriracha recently at a local Thai place and loved it. So, i finally bought my own. i plan on putting on everything.
DeleteEggs on a salad? Please, enlighten me on that that works! Wouldn't it be too mushy?
ReplyDeletewhat mushy? the lettuce? no it just drips on it like salad dressing. you should try it and then you will understand. i promise!
DeleteSalad with an egg seems to be the popular thing going. And it looks awesome. I am sadly behind the time. And the kashi looks great! I have some in my cupboard but haven't dressed it up naners... nice addition.
ReplyDeletekashi is one of my favorite things in life. bananas make this fairly bland cereal super tasty!
DeleteThose salt and pepper cashews look awesome! I've been loving salted almonds lately. I actually had a similar apple + some of those almonds snack today. We think alike! :D
ReplyDeletegreat minds, paulina, great minds!
DeleteOk, I've got to try the egg-topped salad thing! It looks delicious!
ReplyDeletedo it you won't be sorry!
DeleteAll of your eats looks delicious...I'm such a fun of runny eggs for lunch. I'm also a huge fan of apple and nuts for an afternoon snack. It's easy, nutritious, and not messy. ;) Happy Hump Day!
ReplyDeleteyes, exactly about the apple. it is a simple, healthy snack that is easy on the go. which is great because we are all busy!
DeleteWow, you eats look so delicious and healthy! Salt and pepper cashews sound like the bomb! I've never seen them before - must find asap. I love the idea of having a non-hardboiled egg on a salad too!
ReplyDeleteyou've never had salt and pepper cashews? they are really fantastic you must find them!
DeleteI want your shoes. Maroon is like my favourite colour ever, plus Nike is my favourite shoe brand ever.
ReplyDeleteaww, thanks! not only are they cute but they have been really great to my feet during workouts.
DeleteThat's so funny because I am planning on making a pot pie this week or maybe next! :) But, I could never do a runny egg...I'm definitely a weirdo about textures and that is not one I can handle...I like my eggs scrambled and almost burnt hahaha
ReplyDeleteoh! can't wait to see what pot pie you make. i get cravings for certain things and then must. have. them. funny about your runny egg aversion - we all have our quirks, don't we. :)
DeleteYour chickpea pot pie looks so delicious, especially served with the roasted asparagus on the side. I would love to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sharon! it is really delicious - i'm having it tonight again as leftovers and i'm excited about it.
DeleteI love your taste in food, haha :) ALL about the pink lady apples, and I've been eating ridiculous amounts of asparagus. Such the perfect spring veggie! Love the pot pie, too. Now I really want to make it--thanks for the recipe link!
ReplyDeletehaha i don't know if i ever have received that complement. love it! let me know if you make the pot pie it is really great.
DeleteYummy eats!
ReplyDeleteI just bought some chickpeas over the weekend and dont know what to do with them. :P That chick pea pot pie sounds perfect!
