what i ate wednesday: issue 49

I can't believe you guys aren't sick of seeing my food yet...

  Figure 1. Breakfast: a bowl (x2) of All Bran, Kashi 7 Whole Grain Puffs, a sliced banana, and cow's milk.

Figure 2. Lunch out with the boy: a spinach salad with tart apples, candied pecans, and blue cheese, dressed with lemon and olive oil. A slice of house-made honey whole wheat toast on the side.

Figure 3. Afternoon snack: a Gala apple and smoked almonds.

Figure 4. Dinner: a random concoction of leftover wild rice, roasted eggplant and grape tomatoes, spinach, smoked almonds, and Italian dressing.

Figure 5. Dessert: homemade high-protein almond butter granola. Yums.

And that concludes another What I Ate Wednesday (featuring what I ate Tuesday, September 11).

  3. Blue cheese + apples are some of my favorite salad toppings!! I'm limiting my dairy intake, so I save blue cheese for special occasions, but OHMYGAWSHHHH it's one of my favorite flavors ever!

    Thanks for sharing your eats!

  4. Mmm, your lunchtime salad looks like such a winner. I always used to be solidly anti-fruit-in-salad but I've totally seen the light. If there's candied nuts and stinky cheese involved, fruit can be an epic salad topper!

    1. yeah - i'm actually similar. i'm really not a huge fruit person - but sometimes it is the perfect change up to a salad.
