You know those days where you just can't stop eating? Today was one of those days. It happens...
Figure 1. Breakfast (so early it was in the dark): a bowl (x2) of Quaker Oatmeal Squares, Kashi 7 Whole Grain Puffs, a sliced banana, and cow's milk.
(un-pictured mid-morning snack: honey Greek yogurt and fruit, stolen from a work meeting.)

Figure 2. Lunch: a romaine lettuce salad with grape tomatoes, raw zucchini, carrots, green onions, cottage cheese, balsamic vinegar, sunflower seeds, and a drizzle of agave nectar. Carrot sticks with peanut butter on the side.
Figure 4. Afternoon snack: Kashi Simply Maize cereal and homemade roasted almonds.

Figure 5. Dinner (courtesy of the boyfriend): bbq chicken tenders, a baked sweet potato with cinnamon, and roasted green beans.
Figure 6. Dessert: one of Amanda's delicious chocolate chip oatmeal muffins, warmed and melty and topped with a spoonful of ricotta cheese and a drizzle of agave nectar.
And that concludes another What I Ate Wednesday (featuring what I ate Tuesday, September 25).

DeleteThat pear cake looks magical. And dang if your man doesn't know the way to your heart!
ReplyDeleteyou know it girl!
DeleteJeez I need that pear cake. Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI had roasted green beans last night as your inspiration I saw one day this week. They were so good!
ReplyDeleteoh that's great alex! glad to have inspired!!!
DeleteYour BF should do a guest post with that chicken recipe! Looks delish!
ReplyDeletehaha i told him this and he laughed. it is just chicken tender marinated in Stubbs BBQ and cooked on the outdoor grill. i think a guest post would be fun though!
DeleteUm...I'd like one of everything! Especially that oatmeal muffin. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Happy WIAW :)
Ah, gotta love them cooking boyfriends :D Actually, now that you mention it, it's been too long since Will has prepared anything for me!
ReplyDeletethat's right - you have a cooking man too. will is good too!
DeleteI'm definitely familiar with those days where your appetite just feels like it's off the charts... I've actually been experiencing them myself for the past couple of days. All of your eats look seriously good, though. I need a man who'll make BBQ chicken for me.
ReplyDeleteyeah i get really frustrated on days like this (i've been experiencing this for several days too). hard to keep it under control and still maintain balance. glad to know i'm not the only with an unsatisfiable appetite!
DeleteSpiced pear cake? Clicking the link now. I love pears!!
ReplyDeleteall the eats look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI want every single thing you ate!!! You make the BEST salads!!!!
ReplyDeleteJen@HealthyFoodandFamily
aw, that is so sweet of you to say! i love my salads...
DeleteLooks delish! I have those can't-stop-eating days every once in a while too-- I always end up eating junk to fill my tummy, but looks like you had all really good food!
ReplyDeleteyeah, i guess that is the trick - to keep your snacking healthy. although i'm pretty sure cake isn't healthy!
DeleteOh man those days when you can't stop eating- I know those!! I think it is when it gets colder. I am new to Agave nectre but love it!
ReplyDeleteThink I need to find a cooking boyfriend though..
