♫ “I get around. Round and round, round we go. Round and round, round we go.” ♫
Suffice to say or really sing, What I Ate Wednesday has hopped on the crazy train and is now a game of musical chairs. Since Jenn had the foresight to put me in charge (what was she smoking?) I get to set the rules, which means today, we’re getting down hip hop style. Better put yo’ rap kicks on.
New to the party or have no idea what I’m talking about. It’s ok, I hardly ever know either. Head here for more info and remember to send a little love to our hostess with the mostess, Ms. Jenn. Without her, there would be no WIAW and our world would be a sadder place filled with unicorn droppings.
Now, I’m well aware our weekly affair has crossed some lines lately and gotten a little crazy ♫ up in here, up in here. Y’all gon’ make me lose my mind ♫ but if you want to join the WIAW link up party, a little song and dance is now required.* Y’all got shake yo’ money maker. Bonus points if it involves tassels or tricks.
A simple day of eats and a musical medley is your ticket into this event. ♫ You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub. Look mami I got the [yolks] if you into [eating eggs]. ♫
Microphone check.
*Alright fine, spoil my fun. A musical ditty is not essential. A full day of eats is though, preferably in meal order. I am Type A after all.
Breakfast: two cuties, farmers market Cinnamon Raisin Toast smeared with butter, coffee and lists. My Sunday morning bliss.
Lunch: Two fried eggs with leftovers from last night’s dinner at El Carnicero: cumin roasted carrots, onions and bell peppers, black beans, and guacamole. It’s possible some not photographed chips and salsa found their way into my mouth too. It was a stampede. I could barely hold them back.
Dinner: a delicious pile of Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes, a side of broccoli and a small spinach salad with feta, sesame seeds, and blueberries from my deep freezer.
Dessert: in an obvious display of generosity, I split the last half of the Venezuela Dark Chocolate bar with the Hubby.
Drops mic.
Your turn. Get yo’ rap on.

March 18, 2015 at 8:19 AMI need to try that dark chocolate, I’m always interested in new dark chocolate yum! That lunch, of course, you might guess is right up my alley. The eggs look so perfect! I’ve been eating so many oranges lately and I can’t get enough of the little easy peel seedless ones. The best. I love how your lyrics clearly link us to the same fab generation. Good throw back!

March 18, 2015 at 8:23 AMThose baked eggs look delicious!! And all the beans and veggies do as well.
Over the past month I have just been consuming baked eggs like nobodies business, I love finding new ways to cook them.
I don’t blame you for allowing that stampede to happen. I had the same experience with a mango the other day. The bf and I cut one up for dessert and he decided to sit on the other couch… lets just say when he got the bowl there were only two pieces left.
