WIAW – Week 9

18 Apr

Happy Wednesday everyone! Only two more days to go until the weekend!

Time for another What I Ate Wednesday post, hosted by Jen @ Peas & Crayons.

BreakfastOvernight oats + coffee

I know, I know… this is the same every week! Even though this Wednesday’s overnight oats look exactly the same as last week’s overnight oats, I promise you that I do switch things up every now & then (just not on Wednesdays, apparently!).

Lunch – Leftovers, blood orange Chobani + water

Lunch today went completely un-photographed, but as I said, it was simply leftovers from Tuesday’s dinner. I actually made one of my favorite meals — cheeseburger skillet pie – so I couldn’t wait to dig in at lunch time!

[Un-Photographed] Snacks – Banana, cheddar cheese stick

I wasn’t too good at snapping photos today, but I had a banana at the end of the school day & a cheese stick (sort of like string cheese, but not “stringy”) once I got home.

Dinner – Taco salad + water

I had originally planned on trying out a new pork recipe for dinner tonight, but after a quick workout at the gym I was craving Mexican. Luckily, I had the ingredients on-hand to prepare a simple taco salad.

First, I cooked up some ground chicken topped with taco seasoning. Then, I filled my bowl with shredded lettuce, chicken, plain Chobani, mild salsa, shredded cheese, & a few crushed Popcorners for some crunch.

This was so good! I had actually contemplated driving to Chipotle, but I’m glad I saved myself the time & money. All I needed was some of Chelsey’s Copycat Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice to complete the meal!

Now, I’m off to track down some dessert!

What’s the best thing that you ate today?

      It was delicious! I plan on adding it to my grocery list for this upcoming week, too!

    I had a mini cinnamon roll–it was so good this morning when it was warm and gooey! I also had some peanut butter fudge which someone gave me for my birthday…it’s hard to decide between the two!

      Both of those sound pretty awesome!

    I absolutely love taco salads! It’s one of my favorite meals to ‘healthify.’ The best thing I have ate so far today was Kashi Go Lean Crunch Almond and Flax Seed, my top cereal choice!

    I had taco salad last night!! It’s a really good way for me to get in a lot of veggies. I tend to do it meatless. I warm up some black beans and add taco seasoning to them. So good.

    Taco salad is the best thing ever! I could eat it every day! The best thing I ate was a chocolate coconut-banana smoothie.

    My breakfasts look the same almost every morning too. :) For some reason it’s the only meal I can repeat over and over again without growing tired of it! If I ate the same dinner five days straight, I’d be an unhappy camper; but egg white omelets with cheese and spinach somehow always taste good!

    I love taco salads–especially the finishing chip crunch touch on top. The only time my mom would buy Fritos when I was young was when we had taco salad bar night. I think I’d roll with the much healthier Pop Corners now though. ;)

      I feel the exact same way about breakfast — I never get tired of my overnight oats!

  12. Nikki April 20, 2012 at 7:36 am #

    Ahhh you’re tempting me with these popcorners! I need to find them!

    • 4thesakeofcake April 20, 2012 at 9:02 pm #

      Try them! They’re amazing!
