Sometimes A Girl Just Wants A Sandwich

Posted on by

Hi there! It’s time for another edition of What I Ate Wednesday, hosted by the wonderful Jenn at Peas and Crayons. This month is all about sensible snacking … and while I’m not a huge snacker, one of my meals on Monday (the day I’m featuring in today’s post) felt like one giant snack fest.

Monday’s breakfast:

I tried something new! I guess I could count this as achieving one of my goals for June, but it’s not much of a recipe, so I’m not sure if I will or not. I made egg white oats, after my sister raved about it to me on the weekend. I cooked 1/2 cup of oats (with just over 1 cup of water) in the microwave, and then stirred in 2 egg whites before microwaving for another 45 seconds. Then I stirred in a spoonful of chocolate protein powder, and kah blam, a protein packed breakfast. And so voluminous with the egg whites in there! This will be making regular appearances. I had it on Tuesday, too :)

Monday’s lunch:

This is the snacky meal I mentioned earlier. I wanted so many different things, so I just piled ‘em all onto one plate. I microwaved a sweet potato, and since I couldn’t decided toppings, I covered one half with plain Greek yogurt and the other half with crunchy peanut butter (I’m so glad I finally decided to try that combo one day). With that, I had a handful of carrots with this fabulous new Greek yogurt dip I found, and some cherries. I always know summer has officially arrived when I can start buying cherries again!

Monday’s supper:

I had half of a spaghetti squash sitting in my fridge, and that was the plan for dinner. But … sometimes a girl just wants a sandwich. And that’s what this girl was craving for dinner when she walked in the door after work. It had been a hot day, so I wanted something cold and quick. In that tomato tortilla is two eggs (with a little bit of cheese), sliced turkey breast, and a bit cream cheese as the glue to hold it all together. I had some steamed veggies on the side with mustard on top. It looks a little gross … you make think it’s a little gross … but I do it all the time!

There! Done like dinner :) Enjoy your Wednesday – don’t forget to check out some other WIAW’s!

Messy WIAW

Posted on by

Okay, first things first.

Do you watch Glee? More specifically, did you watch it last night? I won’t spoil the plot if you haven’t seen it yet. I came across this performance last week (it’s from last night but was pre released) before remembered that the show returned this week. I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the original version (sang by Gotye). This version changed my life (maybe because I love Darren Criss and Matt Bomer?), and I’m listening to it on repeat as I write this post. And singing along, of course.

I have thin apartment walls. I bet my neighbours just love me now ;)

Now that I’ve professed my love for that version of the song, it’s time for another What I Ate Wednesday post. Do you love Wednesdays as much as I do? I love being able to drool over the food on other blogger’s WIAW posts, thanks to Jenn over at Peas and Crayons.

I’m proud to say that I didn’t eat ANY Easter candy yesterday. A tough job, I tell you. That stuff is everywhere. I will tell you that I managed to make a mess of myself and everything around me during every meal, though.

Breakfast, for instance, was eaten in front of my computer while I quickly read some blogs before work. I spilled it on my keyboard, like I do two or three times a week.

Overnight oats:

Oats, acai berry juice, plain Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and flax seed oil. Topped with strawberries, peaches, blueberries.

I had intended on going home for lunch (like I do most days), and had even been dreaming about making a particular sandwich with veggies on the side. Would you like to know when I decided I was having a sandwich for lunch? At 9PM the night before. Yeah, I think about food a lot. I had a weird schedule at work yesterday and was unable to get home for my break, so Subway happened. I made a mess again – but I blame my sandwich artist for this one! She was talking to a coworker and (I would assume) became distracted. She cut my foot long into two six inch buns, and then filled them with the toppings after she realized that wasn’t what I ordered. It would have been much less messy if it would have been kept together during the building.

I take the construction of my sandwiches very seriously, obviously.

A foot long ham on whole wheat bread, with lettuce/tomatoes/cucumbers/green peppers/red onion/olives/pickles/Italian dressing/mustard.

For supper, I stuffed a chicken breast with spinach and ate it alongside leftover quinoa and a mixture of red/yellow peppers, asparagus, carrots, and edamame.

It didn't look pretty for long...

There you go! A full day of eats from Tuesday. I’d like to point out that it’s been awhile since I remembered to take photos for an entire day. Usually my posts are a whole bunch of meals taken over the course of a few days.

Five extra cool points for me, right? :)

Have a kick butt day!
