WIAW: March 12, 2014

in Other

Happy Wednesday!  We are almost more than halfway through the week, and it looks like we are also almost halfway through the month of March.  On the one hand this makes me sad, but on the other it means we are less than two weeks away from my birthday- and that is a great thing!

So I have been slacking lately.  For some reason I have had a really difficult time remembering to take pictures of my daily eats.  As a result, I am going to combine my eats from two days this past week in order to create a full day of food.  Just pretend I ate everything on the same day, okay? 😉

What I Ate Not Wednesday: March 12, 2014

Breakfast

WIAW 112713No surprise here.  Breakfast #1 is always a green smoothie.  In the mix this time was unsweetened vanilla coconut almond milk, chocolate Vega One, frozen banana, frozen cranberries, frozen blueberries, and lots of spinach.

WIAR march 2014Breakfast #2 was pumpkin cocoa overnight oats with peanut butter stirred in and topped with puffed kamut cereal and fresh blueberries.  I am so glad that blueberries are finally starting to come back into season.  My credit card is happy about that, too!

Mid-Morning Snack

WIAW 22614 3Cuties!  And yes, this is a recycled picture.  But hey, they always look the same, right? 😉

Lunch

WIAW march 13 2Lunch was leftovers from the night before.  I had baked tofu (marinated in Bragg’s Liquid Aminos) that I dipped in lots of barbecue sauce.  One the side were mixed vegetables.  I realize that this looks totally unappealing, but I promise that it was delicious!

Afternoon Snacks

WIAW march 13 4In the afternoon I ate my current favorite snack: celery with crunchy natural peanut butter.  I cannot get enough of the crunchy PB right now!

WIAW march 13 3I also snacked on an apple.  Pink Lady for the win!

Dinner

mexican hash 4It was basically a “throw whatever is left in the fridge into a pan” kind of night.  It actually turned out really delicious and I plan to share a bit more about it in a future post.  It is basically a Mexican potato “hash” of sorts.

Evening Snacks

WIAW march 13 5I am still really loving on blueberries and grapes.  This snack is pretty much on repeat.

WIAW march 13 6And finally…my other favorite snack: a baked sweet potato topped with Justin’s vanilla almond buttah…SO good!

WIAW MARCH 13Have a great Wednesday, friends!  And for those of you in the Omaha area who are headed to Jillian Michaels’ Maximize Your Life Tour tonight, I hope to see you there!

    You make being a vegetarian look so delicious. Seriously, write a book already will ya? :) :)

      Haha, I would LOVE to have the opportunity to do so! Thank you for your kind words, Jessie! :)

    So many good things in here! I have to agree with the comment above - you make me want to go veggie :-) I don't even like meat that much anyway, and I'm a big fan of tofu. Maybe I should take the plunge? The baked tofu looks delicious, as does that Mexican Hash! Jamie @ Sometimes Healthy Living Blog recently posted...WIAW: Sweet, with a Touch of VeggiesMy Profile
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 12, 2014, 4:15 pm
      Yeah, you really don't need meat when you have delicious tofu, tempeh, seitan, etc., etc., etc.!
  • Stephanie @ My Freckled Life March 12, 2014, 7:47 am
    Your eats look great - especially that Mexican hash! I can't wait to see a recipe! Also, I'm totally with you on blueberries coming back into season! Now I just have to wait another month for my farmers market to open back up and I will be one happy girl! Stephanie @ My Freckled Life recently posted...WIAW: Sunshine EditionMy Profile
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 12, 2014, 4:16 pm
      I know!!! Mine doesn't open up for about another month and a half. I am excited for it!
  • Dixya @ Food, Pleasure, and Health March 12, 2014, 9:07 am
    that tofu looks soo good.
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 12, 2014, 4:17 pm
      It was fantastic!!! Baked tofu is one of my favorite things. It cracks me up that I actually crave it because I used to think it was "scary!" ;)
  • Sam @ Better With Sprinkles March 12, 2014, 9:08 am
    I think I'm going to have to find some Justin's Vanilla Almond Butter online so I can order some...I seriously miss that stuff! Sam @ Better With Sprinkles recently posted...WIAW: I’m a Lazy Salad-Maker.My Profile
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 12, 2014, 4:31 pm
      Yes, you definitely need to! Ever since I have tried it I have been obsessed...maybe even more than with the maple!
  • Sarah @ Feeeding the Brain and Body March 12, 2014, 9:49 am
    It's been awhile since I have seen a sweet Potatoe with nut butter...I want one!!! All of these eats look fabulous even if they aren't all from one day. I actually love the throw everything in a pan creations! Sarah @ Feeeding the Brain and Body recently posted...Mini Bread Bites – with breakfastMy Profile
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 12, 2014, 4:32 pm
      I don't think I will ever get tired of sweet potatoes with nut butter. They are SO good!
  • leigha@minougirl March 12, 2014, 10:23 am
    Loving all these eats! I just went vegetarian so I'm always looking for ideas! I made a hash recently very similar to yours. I threw in sweet potato, black beans, tomato, avocado, spinach, onion, and cottage cheese!
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 12, 2014, 4:34 pm
      That is awesome! You'll definitely find lots of recipes/ideas here! And your hash sounds great! Avocado is a fantastic addition.
  • Sabrina @ Nutritiously Sweet March 12, 2014, 10:28 am
    Your green smoothie sounds delicious! I never though to put cranberries in a smoothie, but I think that sounds pretty good! Happy Wednesday :) Sabrina @ Nutritiously Sweet recently posted...WIAW #91: Nutritiously Sweet Finds & Buys!My Profile
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 12, 2014, 4:35 pm
      I love adding them in because it provides just a little bit of tartness. Plus, I have a TON of them in my freezer from when they were on sale after Christmas, haha.
  • Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy March 12, 2014, 10:52 am
    I can't believe that we are almost half way through the month already. Also, I love those kind of meals where you just throw what ever you have in the fridge in a pan. Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy recently posted...Healthy Ranch DressingMy Profile

      Isn't it crazy? It seems like just yesterday that it was February!

    Mmm that mexican potato hash looks so good!! You're making me hungry for lunch right now : ) Ashley recently posted...Chocolate Stout Brownies with Irish Cream FrostingMy Profile

      Haha, thank you! Those are the best compliments that a food blogger can get. I love making other people hungry ;)
  • Nicole @ FruitnFitness March 12, 2014, 11:24 am
    Your eats always look so good. I like the idea of baked tofu with BBQ sauce. I have some tempeh in the fridge that I have been waiting to make and now I want to make it to serve with BBQ sauce! Nicole @ FruitnFitness recently posted...WIAW – changing things upMy Profile
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 12, 2014, 4:38 pm
      Oh yum!! That would be SO good! I am surprised I haven't tried that yet, but I'll definitely have to.
  • Sarah@creatingbettertomorrow March 12, 2014, 12:02 pm
    I'm clicking on your pumpkin cocoa oats recipe right now - this pregnant lady thinks those would be amazing for bfast! or hey maybe even for dinner
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 12, 2014, 4:39 pm
      I have definitely eaten overnight oast for dinner before...and it was a fantastic decision! ;)
  • Miss Polkadot March 12, 2014, 4:54 pm
    Mexican potato hash? Yes, please. It really looks amazing and way better than some of my everything-but-the-kitchen-sink dishes. Maybe it's wrong but as I've never had any authentic Mexican dishes I just call anything I liberally spice with cayenne pepper, smoked paprika and chili flakes 'sort of Mexican' ;) .

    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 15, 2014, 11:16 am
      Haha, I love everything that is "sort of Mexican!!" Those spices are the best!
  • Kim @ Hungry Healthy Girl March 12, 2014, 7:33 pm
    I've been on a huge crunchy PB kick too! That is so awesome that you are going to Jillian's show tonight. She's coming to Texas soon and I've thought that it would be a really fun. Kim @ Hungry Healthy Girl recently posted...What I Ate Wednesday: Stuck in a RutMy Profile
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 15, 2014, 11:17 am
      Isn't crunch PB awesome?? It cracks me up that I used to this it was gross. I was a weird child ;)
  • Katie @ Daily Cup of Kate March 12, 2014, 8:46 pm
    Oh my gosh, can't wait to hear how Jillians show was tonight-- I really want to go! And I just discovered unsweetened vanilla coconut almond milk- loving it!
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 15, 2014, 11:20 am
      I was actually a little disappointed in the show :(. Parts of it were good, but a lot of the information I already knew and/or did not agree with :(
  • Ashley @ Wishes & Dishes March 12, 2014, 8:53 pm
    I'm trying to make more green smoothies for myself..sometimes I just can't get past the spinach taste in the smoothie. Need to train myself to like them more! LOL
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 15, 2014, 11:21 am
      Maybe I am weird, but I don't even taste the spinach in mine! Haha...might be the awesome protein powder I use?
  • Kaitlin March 12, 2014, 8:55 pm
    I've seen a number of people put nut butter on their sweet potato and have to try it out. Kaitlin recently posted...Day in the LifeMy Profile

      Oh my gosh, do it!! It is the BEST!
  • Louise@FitRadiance March 13, 2014, 8:16 am
    I need to give the sweet potato/nut butter combo a try! Everyone's doing it at the moment! Louise@FitRadiance recently posted...Sukrin Products ReviewMy Profile
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 15, 2014, 11:30 am
      Yes, you should! I started doing this about a year ago and have not stopped. It is SO good!
  • Megan @ The Skinny-Life March 13, 2014, 1:01 pm
    Have you tried frozen grapes & blueberries? It is like eating candy! I love them frozen. I never heard of topping a sweet potato with nut butter. That's one I haven't heard of!
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 15, 2014, 11:35 am
      Yes!! Frozen grapes are delicious! I have not tried frozen blueberries, though. Thanks for the heads up :)
  • Katie @ Peace Love & Oats March 13, 2014, 4:48 pm
    Justin's Vanilla Almond Butter is the BEST!
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 15, 2014, 11:36 am
      It seriously is!! I ate maple for forever and I almost feel bad that it is no longer my favorite! ;)
  • Jess @ PB & Jess March 13, 2014, 5:01 pm
    Haha I feel like most of my dinners are "throw everything in from the fridge" kinda meals so I can relate!
    • ClnEatingVegGrl March 15, 2014, 11:36 am
      Sometimes they are just the way to go. Easy peasy and prevents me from wasting food, which I hate to do!
