what i ate wednesday: issue 52

 Figure 1. Breakfast: a bowl (x2) of Kelloggs All Bran, Cheerios, a sliced banana, and cow's milk. Why two bowls? I usually eat one bowl before my workout and one after. Plus, I eat more cereal than fits in one bowl. Two bowls are so necessary.

Figure 2. Lunch, out to eat with friends: a Bistro Salad with arugula, mixed greens, asparagus, raisins, pickled fennel, Parmesan and salmon with a (soy-free) citrus balsamic vinaigrette.

Figure 3. Afternoon snack: a Honeycrisp apple (my first of the season!), homemade pumpkin pie roasted almonds, and a lime sparkling water.

Figure 4. Dinner: a spinach salad with grape tomatoes, raw zucchini, red onion, carrots, leftover pulled bbq chicken, and sharp white cheddar cheese topped with bbq sauce and balsamic vinegar. This lunch-style dinner was all I wanted after an exhausting and sweaty spinning session at the gym. Cook? No, thank you. Cool, crisp, giant salad beast? Yes, please.

Figure 5. More dinner: oh yeah, I forgot to mention my two slabs of leftover pumpkin spiced cornbread on the side (topped with Earth Balance).

Figure 6. Dessert: a Jello chocolate pudding mousse topped with Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips.

And that concludes another What I Ate Wednesday (featuring what I ate Tuesday, October 2).

  4. That honey crisp apple sounds particularly good right now.... I need to get some breakfast. Lol. Question: Do you like red delicious apples? Most people say that they are their favorite, but I just don't get it. They have absolutely no flavor! :D

  7. Yum! All your food looks so delicious, and it's nice to see some normal-sized portions. I've seen overnight oats recipes that use 1/4 c. of oats....1/4 cup?? I eat 1 cup of oats every morning, so it's cool to see someone else eat a hearty breakfast!

  8. Cereal should never be limited to just one bowl. Today is feeling like a breakfast for dinner kind of night to me, and cereal is definitely on the menu.

  9. Agreed- 2 bowls are always necessary! I always go back for more.

  10. Your WIAWs make salads look so good!
    Since you recommended it and I'm living on my own with nobody to share it with: How long does the cornbread keep? Do you freeze it or leave it in the fridge/elsewhere?

    1. ok so i stored the leftover just on the counter in aluminum foil. but, we went through it so quickly. when i lived by myself i would portion cornbread out (or even make it in muffin form) and freeze it. it reheats well! PLEASE let me know how you like it.
