WIAW: The Stella Edition

It’s been a hot minute since I did a What I Ate Wednesday post.

Truth time, it’s been a hot minute since I did any posts outside of the Week in Review, and you should totally be participating in this lovely linkup. For real, it’s the bees knees, the cats pajamas and any other phrase you feel like inserting. The kinkier, the better.

Now where was I?

Oh yes, my blogging schedule. Over the past three and a half months, I’ve learned having a baby wreaks havoc with your time, as in you don’t have any, at least not for yourself and certainly not for blogging. It’s crazy right? Yeah, I thought so too. Seriously somebody should have warned me about this. Once  I figure out who’s to blame, there will be hell to pay, unless of course I’m at fault. Then it’s perfectly acceptable.  

With the baby settling into a sometimes routine, I’ve been channeling my inner Stella and trying to get my groove back, without the help of Taye Diggs’ backside. Thankfully the Hubby’s derriere is equally as pleasing. As a result, I’m trying to blog more often and consistently, which means a What I Ate Wednesday post today. Thanks for hosting Ms. Laura.

Without further ado, I give you my eats from some random day last week. I don’t remember which one. Did I mention I have an almost 4 month old baby? Yeah, it’s like that.

Liquid Starter: half a lemon juiced in hot water.

Warm Lemon Water

First & Second Breakfasts: oatmeal with a little bit of honey, flax powder and a sliced banana followed by a second bowl of oatmeal with raw sugar and strawberries, alongside a milk drunk baby.

Here’s a better picture of the baby since Ave would never forgive me for showcasing her in such a poor light.

Third Breakfast: French Vanilla yogurt and a cup of coffee, also known as my saving grace these days.

Liberte French Vanilla Yogurt

Lunch (or Fourth Breakfast): three scrambled eggs with sautéed onions, bell peppers, garlic and broccoli with a piece of Onion Rye toast with butter.

Snackage: several spoonfuls of peanut butter with mini chocolate chips

Dinner: three or maybe even four Green Onion Cheese Puffs, I lost count.

Green Onion and Cheddar Puffs

Fattoush Dip: kalamata olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, artichokes, peppers and feta cheese all on a bed of hummus. This is one of my favorite easy dinners in the summertime and I owe it all to my girl Kirsten.

There you have it; a full day of food. Also, in case it wasn’t apparent, I’m obsessed with Snapchat (Clean Eats Fast Feets). Come find me; let’s play.

Are you on Snapchat? Do you eat three, sometimes four, breakfasts in a single day? It’s quite alright if you do. I’m perfectly content eating that many breakfasts.

    • Thankfully the Hubby has been home the entire month of July studying for his exam so I’ve had help. He starts his new job next Monday though and I think reality will really set in then. Here’s hoping I can keep up the blogging schedule. 🙂

  4. Literally, the oatmeal <333 I eat oatmeal everyday at my desk, it is like my ritual and never gets old. Brittany thought I was nuts when we traveled because (drumroll please) I ONLY like it plain with lots and lots of pepper. That is it. No sugar. No milk. I have never liked anything in it besides pepper….. I was a weird child.

    Love the QT(pie) onesie!

    • One and done baby, one and done! 🙂

      Why are my eats fascinating? Is it because I tend to not stick with the three meal norms? I’m always curious why people love the WIAW posts. Either way, I’m happy to be of service.

      Also, the Hubby goes for our unconventional meals because I won’t cook him anything else. If he doesn’t like it, he’ll have to make something himself. Wife of the year right here. 😉

  6. That fattoush dip? WOW. That looks like an explosion of color. And it’s been forever since I’ve done a Week In Review. I need to be better about taking pictures of everyday life so I can do it. Thanks for providing that for people every week! I love reading the posts.

  7. I’m so glad it’s not crazy that my appetite has been so voracious. I guess that’s what happens when we juice our teets nonstop! I love that shirt that says “breastfeeding is my cardio!” I want that shirt.
    Do I seriously need to look at snapchat? I’ll add it to the growing list of things to do. I’d much rather think about food and those biscuits!!! Yummy.

    • I need this t-shirt too. It’s perfect for my level (read lack) of exercise these days. 🙂 I got more important things to spend my time on these days.

      Yes you need to be on Snapchat so I can see lots of pics and videos of Lulu.

  9. You know i’m all about the breakfast foods, especially if multiple bowls of oats are involved. But seriously…. I’m perfectly content with eating breakfast, then breakfast for lunch, then breakfast for dinner… and probably breakfast-related snacks in between. And thank you for giving me the biggest craving for [AB] and chocolate chips.

  10. I love Snapchat! Going to find you now. I also like multiple breakfast. I often have breakfast and then feed the baby and have breakfast again. And then we’ll take a walk and maybe there’s time for more breakfast. I think you and I have a similar schedule these days.

    • I think breakfast might be my favorite meal of the day too. I like to toss some berries in my cereal sometimes. It makes me feel fancy. 🙂

  14. Rather than eating several breakfasts I tend to eat no breakfast but start the day with lunch/ dinner instead. I mean I am still eating in the morning but lunch/ dinner foods for breakfasts are my thing! I have completely lost my sweet tooth.

    I am looking forward to have three breakfasts with you though 🙂 And I am willing to give that hot lemon water a try.

    P.S. I love Ave’s onsie

  16. Mmmm sugar and strawberries. I used to always dunk my strawberries in raw sugar. And my rhubarb. Need to get back to this I think.
    If I could eat breakfast food for every meal – I certainly would. Though now that I say that, who the hell is telling me I can’t?…
