WIAW – Week 25
29 Aug
Hey everyone!
We’re already half-way through the week and tomorrow is my Friday! We always have Friday-Monday off for Labor Day, and it’s a nice chance to enjoy the last little bit of summer (plus recuperate from getting thrown back into the whole work thing!).
For today’s What I Ate Wednesday, I’m sharing what I ate on Tuesday, but to be honest, today’s eats were pretty similar!
Stop by Peas and Crayons if you’d like to see more WIAW posts!
For some reason, I totally forgot to photograph breakfast. I meant to do it this morning since I ate the same thing but forgot again! I’m sure you’ve seen one of my bowls of overnight oats before, so you can use your imagination.
Lunch – Turkey wrap, Chobani, and grapes
I saw the idea for this turkey wrap on Pinterest (aka, where I find all of my ideas). All you have to do is combine one Laughing Cow cheese wedge (I used reduced-fat Swiss) with chopped cucumber. Then, I spread a few slices of deli turkey on a whole wheat wrap, added the cheese/cucumber and that’s it! Very tasty!
Snack – Banana topped with Justin’s honey peanut butter
I ate this as an after school/pre-Body Pump snack yesterday. I’m really loving Justin’s honey peanut butter; I think I like it better than Justin’s almond butter!
Dinner – Baked corn and crab cakes (from Skinnytaste)
Please check out the original recipe here; Gina’s look 100x better than mine! I needed to use more crab (I think that’s why mine sort of fell apart) but I just made do with what I had (a can of crab meat that I purchased at Trader Joe’s). That’s a blob of cocktail sauce on the side for dipping!
Dessert – Dark chocolate cookie butter bar
I forgot to take a picture, but dessert last night was a few squares of the dark chocolate cookie butter bar I picked up on my last Trader Joe’s visit. It was delicious.
There you have it, friends; your weekly peek into what I eat! 
Off to spend some QT with the pug.
What’s your favorite kind of nut butter? Although I’ve been trying different kinds lately, Jif Natural is still my go-to; I just love peanut butter! I’ve always been intrigued by walnut butter, but haven’t tried it yet.
the dark chocolate cookie butter bars are SO good! i wish i had one right now!

It was amazing! I should’ve bought more!
Sunflower butter is definitely my favorite type of nut butter. Loving that wrap idea; gotta hop on it!

That wrap sounds so good! I’m always looking for ways to switch up lunch, and this is definitely a winning one

That sounds like the perfect lunch to bring to school! Quick and a lot of flavors going on… Perfect! Hope the back to school groove is finding you- it’s always so tiring to get back into the groove!

I was always a tried and true peanut butter lover until I tried sunflower seed butter and Justin’s Vanilla Almond butter – both of which *I think* are my favorites!

I’m dying to try the vanilla almond!
What TJ has dark chocolate cookie butter bars now??
My gosh, since when? I’ve never heard of them before so i’m assuming after I moved out here in May?
I love Better n Peanut Butter. Delicious!

Yes! I’m not sure when they came out with them, but I only remember hearing about them over the summer.
Man, just my luck haha.

I just made homemade peanut butter a few days ago and it was AMAZING!! I finally found a recipe I love (It’s from a book called “The Homemade Pantry”) I love it because you can adapt it to any kind of nut.

Yum! I’ve only ever made sunflower seed butter, but I’m sure the process is somewhat similar!
Dark chocolate cookie butter bar?! That sounds amazing!

Oh, it is!
How have I never thought of cutting the banana like that before putting my PB on it! That is brilliant, and seems like less of a mess! ha Thanks for the idea! Jif Natural is my go-to as well, it’s so delicious, yet still not as pricy as others! I love it!

I’m glad you like the idea! I always eat banana + pb that way!
Jif Natural really is the best. You can’t go wrong.

Agreed! I love it!
Oh man, banana and peanut butter will always be one of my favorite snacks around

It’s perfection.
My favorite is Justin’s Maple Butter. It. Is. The. Best.
I like making my own peanut butter in my Vitamix. I really can’t stand the taste of hydrogenated fat with my PB anymore!

I’ve made my own sunflower seed butter before, but never peanut butter! Is there a certain “recipe” you follow?
I just recently discovered justin’s honey peanut butter and am completely obsessed and in love with it!! I did really love my natural almond butter made from Whole Foods market, but sadly I don’t live by a Whole Foods market, Trader Joe’s, or anything of the sort.
Before I realized I needed to eat healthy,natural, organic peanut butter I was an only Jif person, but now I only eat it when I run out of natural pb.
