WIAW: May 14, 2014

in Other

Lots of 14’s in that title there ^^

You know I have a thing for fun number combinations, so May 14, 2014 sounds like a pretty appealing day.  Too bad 14 is not my lucky number.  I guess I will have to wait until 2026 for that to happen… only 12 more years! 😉

But since this is a fun numbers day and it is Wednesday, I should center this post around all good things.  Food is good, right?  Yes, let’s go with that!

In last week’s What I Ate Wednesday post, I was lazy and made one photo collage for you.  In all honesty, though, I really enjoyed the collage look.  This week I put a little bit more effort into the presentation and made you multiple collages.  Collages are fun, right?  I sure hope you enjoy them at least or I might be in trouble.  I’d sure like for you to stick around!

What I Ate Wednesday Last Saturday

Breakfast

WIAW 51414 2Breakfast was a two-parter as usual.  The first part was a deeeelicious cold green smoothie that I drank after my morning walk.  A couple of hours later I ate one of the best breakfasts that I have eaten in awhile.  It included a toasted whole wheat English muffin topped with a tasty pea/hummus mixture that I came up with and will be sharing with you soon.  On the side I ate a fried egg and cottage cheese.  I pretty much avoided cottage cheese for the last year since it is not vegan and there really aren’t any good substitutes.  But I got tired of being without it so it is back!

Lunch

cauliflower buffalo wingsOhhh my goodness, this was SO good!  Seriously.  And no, those are not buffalo wings.  But close!  I made cauliflower buffalo wings for the first time and loved them.  I’ll be posting more about these in the future.  I dipped them in ketchup since I did not have any ranch dressing, and I ate some roasted brussel sprouts on the side.

Dinner

DSC_0417Dinner was the Happy Herbivore’s Eggless Salad that I served on rice cakes with spinach.  I ate a dill pickle spear on the side, of course!

Snacks

WIAW 51414 3And finally, I snacked on all sorts of goodness throughout the day including: popcorn, a Granny Smith apple with almond butter, and carrots.  I pick out some darn good snacks, if I do say so myself.

WIAW generalMake sure you head over to Jenn’s blog for more What I Ate Wednesday posts!  Now go have yourself a great Wednesday!

    Hummus & peas? Now that's one brilliant idea! Dying to know the recipe. Please make it one of the first ones you share :]

    Foodie collages are the best! I actually learned about doing them from the queen of WIAW herself! I always think I could never be a vegetarian...but this post makes me think maybe I could. If you would write me meal plans. ;) Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut recently posted...Food as Fuel + ENERGYbits GiveawayMy Profile

      You could SO do it, or at least Meatless Mondays. Veggies eat some darn good food. But yes, a meal plan would help. I have definitely learned a lot along the way!

  • Brittany May 14, 2014, 10:09 am

  • Alexis @ Hummusapien May 14, 2014, 11:00 am
    Twinning again on the popcorn! You must try it drizzled with truffle oil (we got a little bottle at WF)...it's insanity!!!
    • ClnEatingVegGrl May 14, 2014, 12:15 pm
      My eyes just got really big when I read this! That sounds amaaaazing!!!
  • Nicole @ FruitnFitness May 14, 2014, 11:15 am

    • ClnEatingVegGrl May 14, 2014, 12:17 pm
      You should definitely make yourself some!! Lucky for you, it is super easy to make :)
  • Jaclyn @ BumpSweat May 14, 2014, 12:45 pm
    I've been meaning to make the buffalo cauliflower, especially since my hubby's a buffalo-sauce nut! You've inspired me :) Jaclyn @ BumpSweat recently posted...Expert Q&A: CrossFitting While PregnantMy Profile
    • ClnEatingVegGrl May 14, 2014, 2:11 pm
      It is SO good!! I'll be sharing the link soon! I honestly think that meat-eaters will enjoy these. I know my boyfriend would!
  • Faith VanderMolen May 14, 2014, 5:26 pm
    I've been wanting to experiment more with peas. They seem to be the new way of getting protein into energy bars, etc. Avocado and peas together sounds great! Faith VanderMolen recently posted...Spicy Black Beans with Cilantro and LimeMy Profile
    • ClnEatingVegGrl May 14, 2014, 7:43 pm
      Peas are definitely one of my favorite veggies and the fact that they have as much protein in them as they do is super impressive!
  • Katie @ Daily Cup of Kate May 14, 2014, 6:29 pm
    I am obsessed with that popcorn lately…so light and airy!
    • ClnEatingVegGrl May 14, 2014, 7:31 pm
      It is amaaaazing! I will never tire of it!
  • Alice Brody May 16, 2014, 3:04 am
    I am absolutely fascinated by that cauliflower buffalo wings. I am trying to transition from a 100% carnivore to a full-on veggie. In my 6 months of transitioning, I am now a semi-meat eater - a "chicken-tarian", if you will. I'd love to see the recipe of this. Thanks for sharing!
    • ClnEatingVegGrl May 16, 2014, 4:53 pm
      I will be posting about them soon! They are so good! I bet you will love them :)
