Ready, set, food porn!
Figure 1. Breakfast: (you guessed it) a bowl of Kashi GoLean Original mixed with Post Great Grains Raisins, Dates, & Pecans cereal, 1/2 banana, and almond milk. I also had 1/2 banana (un-pictured) before my morning run.
Figure 2. Lunch: quinoa with roasted tomatoes, walnuts, and olives on a bed of slightly-steamed spinach. 
Figure 4. Dinner: Cinnamon sweet potato fries drizzled in honey alongside roasted green bean fries drizzled in hummus 'dressing' (plain hummus [I always use Sabra] thinned with almond milk) and toasted pecans. Fries with a side of fries. I like the sound of that.
Figure 5. Dessert: plain Greek yogurt and chocolate pudding = my new dessert obsession.
And that concludes another What I Ate Wednesday (featuring what I ate Tuesday, April 24).
Mmmm all looks yummy! That greek yogo and pudding sounds delish! Reminds me of when I ate no pudge fudge with yogo. Mmmmm :)
ReplyDeletehaha, thanks sabrina!
DeleteWow. I think I like every single meal here. Your breakfast looks fantastic, your salad looks amazing and I can never go past some good old sweet potato. I've never tried it with honey, which given how I try everything with honey, is weird. Definitely trying that out now!
ReplyDeletei can't believe you have never had sweet potato with honey! it is a truly fantastic combination!
DeleteFries with a side of fries, indeed! Roasted green beans are truly one of my favorite foods right now. How I ever ate them steamed is a mystery.
ReplyDeletesteamed green beans are so sad. roasted is ALWAYS the way to go!
DeleteI'm shocked that there is no ketchup with all of those fries! A great day of eats.
ReplyDeletehaha! very funny! wasn't feeling the ketchup today despite the fries. ;)
DeleteFries with a side of fries? Yes and yes. I joke that a lot of my meals are carbs with a side of carbs :)
ReplyDeletehaha a little carbs never hurt anyone...
DeleteOmg, your whole day of eats is amazing. I am super jealous, especially of your dinner and that dessert! Also, today's WIAW is totally going to feature 1/2 a banana and coffee pre-run, as that has now become my go-to pre-workout snack :p
ReplyDeletethanks, patti! 1/2 banana and coffee is the perfect pre-exercise thing. at least for me and my tummy!
Deletethat dessert looks SO good! i need to try that combo asap!
ReplyDeleteBecause of you I had a PINK LADY today with 2 tablespoons of all natural raw almonds!! thanks girl! those salt and pepper cashews look too tasty!!
ReplyDeleteand its so funny how your breakfast including quote is literally (almost) always the exact same! hhahaha !! do u run every day pre breakfast or how do you do it??? I got up today at 5:15 AM (!!) and ran before I had to spend the entire day on the wards in the hospital ! I need this for mental balance and in order to take the patients and not lose my sanity completely hahaha
yay for the pink lady and almonds combo! a perfect snack if i do say so myself.
Deleteand yes, i copy and paste my breakfast each week. it is the same thing usually! and yes i usually run every day of the week and have my 1/2 banana and coffee. so yes, i eat 1/2 banana and coffee and water, wait 30-45 minutes to digest then hit the pavement. then, after i stretch and shower i come back to a big bowl of cereal!
every day of the weeeek? aaaaah! thats a lot of running ^^
DeleteI used to do this but ended up really worn out and putting a huge strain on my joints :( It is not for everyone I guess
and how long/how many miles do you usually run for? I try to run 2 times a week for like 50 minutes or so at a moderate pace (cant convert into mph sorry hah!)
well okay, not every day. here is what i usually do: monday, tuesday, and friday i do a short 30 minute run at a faster pace. thursday is my long run day usually, right now i'm running for 80 minutes (slow pace). wednesday and saturday = no running. sunday is whatever i feel like it, usually a 40-60 minute run at a comfortable, fun pace.
Deletei used to run 6 days a week. now i know to take 2 days off completely from running and it is much better for my legs.
oh right and sometimes i do nothing at all on sunday's too!
DeleteAhhhh those sweet potato fries are what dreams are made of.
ReplyDeletei dreamt about them last night! wait, do i didn't. but they are certainly dream worthy.
DeleteI love that dessert too! I have been enjoying the same thing lately, but used vanilla pudding instead... I tend to be more of a vanilla flavor fan :) And roasted tomatoes are just so tasty too
ReplyDeleteoh i haven't tried with vanilla. i'll buy that next time. i actually really love vanilla pudding!
DeleteGosh, the dessert and dinner looks so appealing.
ReplyDeleteSalt & pepper cashews are amazingly addicting! I've gotta try mixing yogurt and pudding - great idea :)
ReplyDeleteOK I'm trying that dessert obsession tonight! Looks fab. And I have to make that quinoa dish...yummmm....
ReplyDeletelet me know how you like it!
DeleteGreat idea to dress up some plain 'ol green beans. I'll have to try that!
ReplyDeleteHow did I not find your blog before? It's awesome! OH and your new dessert addiction looks amazing! I love anything chocolate. That quinoa meal also looks great, is it just quinoa with tomatoes? How did you prepare it? My mom is obsessed with quinoa and it would be a great Mother's Day meal :-)!
ReplyDeletethanks, cara! thanks for following. the quinoa recipe is linked up - it is from eat, live, run. basically it is quinoa with cherry tomatoes that i roasted in the oven with toasted walnuts and kalamata olives. super delicious! i'm sure your mom would love it! let me know if you try it!
DeleteLove you eats! I love making up "fries" for dinner and coating them in a sauce- best meals ever!
ReplyDeletethe sauce sometimes is my very favorite part!
DeleteGreek yogurt and pudding? What? Excuse me, going to go make pudding at slather that ALL OVER my yogurt.
ReplyDeletehaha DO IT KATIE!
DeleteWhy have I never thought to mix Greek yogurt with pudding before? I love that idea! :)
ReplyDeleteyeah, right? i decided to do it one night and then had the same realization. like what have i been doing this entire time?
DeleteYogurt and pudding sounds awesome together! Looks softserve
ReplyDeleteI made these green beans for dinner tonight with my balsamic chicken with mushrooms and they were fabulous! I think they'll be a repeat performance!
ReplyDeletei am SO happy you tried them and liked them. they are so simple and really, really delicious. this makes me so happy!
Deletemmm green beans AND sweet potatoes! I want! :)
ReplyDeleteohh Greek yogurt+chocolate pudding!? Love it:)! I'm always looking for new dessert ideas! That looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteYum!!!!! Happy WIAW! Thanks for the warm welcome =D
ReplyDeleteThe idea of Greek yogurt and chocolate pudding together makes me almost unreasonably happy. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeletehaha and it should! it is really fantastic!
DeleteYour dinner looks to die for! I am totally going to try the roasted green bean fries with hummus dressing! YUM! Happy WIAW!
ReplyDeleteand you must add some kind of nut for the crunch factor. there really made the dinner!
DeleteOoh I love the look (and sound!) of your houmous dressing - definitely making this at some point!
ReplyDeletethanks! i can't stop eating it myself...
