I had every intention of writing a fabulously witty introduction for What I Ate Wednesday today.
Alas, my brain had other plans. Don’t you hate it when that happens?
Either way, I figured I’m not going to let a silly thing like my mental state stop me from posting, not when I have back to back days to share. Boom.
On the off chance you forgot (surely that’s not the case), last week I shared a random Friday of food with the promise of the very next day to come. Two days for the price of one. It’s a buy one, get one free sale, minus the spending any money part. Hello, it doesn’t get much sexier than that, unless of course you count the time I shared an entire week of eats. Yeah, that was hot and to be totally honest, downright exhausting.
Back to back days though, I can do those no problem.
You’ll find my Friday eats here, and my Saturday eats below.
Happy What I Ate Wednesday. Thank you Arman for hosting today’s shenanigans and Jenn for creating the party.
First Breakfast: water, warm lemon water, two cups of coffee with a dash of milk and a dollop of sugar.
Second Breakfast: a post run smoothie with frozen pineapple, blueberries, a banana, spinach, flax powder and a scoop or three of full fat plain Greek yogurt.
Third Breakfast: I split a five egg omelet with the Hubby, which was packed with artichokes, kalamata olives, onions, tomatoes and feta cheese. On the side, I had fingerling potatoes and more spinach, this time lightly dressed.
Snackage: I’ve been recipe testing so fistfuls, er I mean dainty handfuls, of chocolate granola and candied walnuts may have found their way into my mouth.
Dinner: was outstanding. I paired fresh Spicy Black Bean and Cheddar ravioli from Ohio City Pasta (The Best!) with a light sauce of raw tomatoes, onions, cilantro and green onions with some plain Greek yogurt subbing in for sour cream. It was phenomenal, and I ate this plate times two, so basically the one in the front and the one in the back.
There you have it, a day of edibles. If you want to see my meals for the day directly before all this, head here. I’ll let you in on a secret: it was another good one.
Happy What I Ate Wednesday.

Meghan says
August 19, 2015 at 8:54 PMThose raviolis are worth hunting down.

Kate says
August 19, 2015 at 7:56 AMI am always more hungry in the morning, so three breakfast sounds pretty real. I’ve never had fingerling potatoes, but I love pretty much all potatoes, so I need find those ASAP.

August 19, 2015 at 8:54 PMFingerlings are the best. They’re soft and buttery on the inside.

Alyssa @ renaissancerunnergirl says
August 19, 2015 at 8:17 AMI am a major fan of multiple breakfasts. While I was hiking in the Lake District this weekend, my friend and I gorged on full English breakfasts at our B&B and also carried many, many snacks with us to basically breakfast through til lunch.

August 19, 2015 at 10:09 AMOhhh my, that pasta. I have been eating so many carbs lately. My running hasn’t been balancing it out though. Living wild and free bahaha. I’m having first breakfast right now of my coffee and water, and second breakfast is going to be like 6 bananas. I’m not even kidding. I cannot stop with the bananas.

Also I will stock up on bananas.

August 19, 2015 at 11:00 AMMultiple breakfasts is the only way one should live their life ;). Your ravioli looked phenomenal! I too struggle with coming up with hilarious witty intros and choose to forgo them in order to not embarrass myself!

August 19, 2015 at 9:03 PMNormally intros are my bread and butter. Not today though. I figure it’s for the best. This way the food gets to be the star of the show.

August 19, 2015 at 11:34 AMI know you are doing this on purpose to secretly command me to take the flight over to Cleveland. I mean, that food. EPIC. Especially the omelet. I could never share this – yet you are in love with the hubby, so I get it.

Miss Polkadot says
August 19, 2015 at 12:21 PMDainty handfuls? That’s my preferred way of eating chocolate chips. And granola. And … everything. No mindless munching, right?
On a random note I want a) your coffee mug [even though I’d use it for tea] and b) those ravioli. I hope your Wednesday’s going well and work not drowning you!

August 19, 2015 at 1:34 PMYum yumm gimme sum!!!! I need that ravioli right now. Seriously. All food is based on texture to me right now and for the unforseeable future, so my gaze goes straight to those soft pillows of flavor. I need!!! I love all your posts, I never tire of them. You can write about how many times Oscar licked his left paw and I’d be enthralled. Yup. I’m your groupie.

Meghan says
August 19, 2015 at 9:06 PMYou’re the best, and I’d happily share all my raviolis with you. You would have loved these too because they had a saucy jalapeno kick inside.

Hello candied walnuts…. There are honey covered macadamia nuts in my local store… Don’t know how much longer I can go without buying them…!

August 20, 2015 at 6:08 PM3 breakfasts… now there’s a woman after my own heart. Can we make that a thing come September as well? Because I’d gladly eat breakfast (and Chipotle) for every meal of the day. Toss a little chocolate granola in there too, and I’d be in heaven.
