what i ate wednesday: issue 44

In the wake of moving - I (of course) prioritized locating food and cooking supplies. Here is what I've managed to eat this week:

 Figure 1. Breakfast: a bowl (x2) of Kellogg's All-Bran, corn Chex, a sliced banana, and almond milk.

Figure 2. Lunch: a romaine lettuce salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, sunflower seeds, cottage cheese, and balsamic vinegar. A side of my obsession: carrot sticks and peanut butter.

Figure 3. Afternoon snack: homemade healthy peanut butter honey granola and fresh summer blueberries.

Figure 4. Dinner: eggplant pizza (as inspired by momma & Kath). I topped roasted eggplant discs with marinara, dried herbs (garlic powder, basil, oregano) and cheese (two had feta and two had goat). After the cheese got nice and melty under the broiler I enjoyed these pizza's on top of a bed of raw spinach and with an ear of summer-fresh corn. 

 Figure 5. Dessert: popcorn and cocoa-dusted almonds sprinkled with extra-dark cocoa powder and agave nectar.

And that concludes another What I Ate Wednesday (featuring what I ate Tuesday, July 31).

  2. Oh my goodness I need to try those eggplants. I am obsessed with eggplant lately and can't get enough. I have never cooked them that way.

  3. Mmm, you've got me craving real popcorn {i.e. not the bagged stuff + covered in loads of delicious spices}. Do you have a favorite savory popcorn combo?

  8. Eggplant pizza, how cute!! Love that idea. I've made eggplant lasagna before using cottage cheese, but never individual pizzas. Super cute idea.

  11. Yum! I'm impressed that you've managed to have such delicious meals during your move.
    And I'm still on a cereal kick, thanks to you! I look forward to it every morning. Ironically, I just bought a box of Rice Chex a few days ago and I love it! I'd be interested to know how the Corn version is.

    Happy Wednesday! (:
