What I Ate [With Alexa] Wednesday
This Wednesday feels like a Monday… since I took Monday and Tuesday off work, while Alexa was visiting. So this Wednesday kind of crept up on me, but don’t worry, Alexa and I did a lot of photo documentation during her trip, so we can share some of our deliciousness with you.
Breakfast
Our most notable breakfast was the banana soft serve, eaten with homemade Samoa Granola.
I’m going to make you wait until Friday for the recipe, but let me tell you, this is my new favorite granola. And if you’re a girl scout cookie addict… you’re going to enjoy it.
Lunch
When Alexa comes to town, it’s mandatory that we make at least one trip to Carytown Burgers and Fries. This trip was no different.
They have an amazing black bean burger, which we devoured.
Snack
We did a lot of walking and photo taking, and thus also did a lot of snacking. We enjoyed a few Guiltless Gourmet Tortilla Chips, served with some Pineapple Salsa, which I whipped up on Sunday.
Pineapple Salsa
- 2 cups crushed pineapple or pineapple tidbits
- 3/4 cup black beans
- 1/4 cup white onion, diced
- 1/3 cup diced red, green, or orange pepper (I used orange)
- Juice from 1 lime
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Dash of hot sauce (if you’re into that)
Dinner
Since Alexa had never been to Stuzzi, we met up with Kate for $1 pizza night, and enjoyed some “Neapolitan style” pizza.
I’ve posted about the deliciousness of Stuzzi before, here, and it was no less delicious this time.
I’m so sad Alexa had to go back to Ohio, but we did accomplish an entire board of pinterest projects, so you’ll be seeing tons of new recipes, including cheesecake cookies, baked zucchini, and of course, the Samoa Granola.
Pineapple salsa is like my favorite thing ever…can’t believe I never thought to put black beans in it!
Ooo can’t wait for that recipe tomorrow!!!
$1 pizza night?! That’s a dream come true for me. We need that where I live.
Oh my goodness…the granola sounds amazing! I can’t wait for the recipe!
Is it Friday yet? Just asking because I can’t wait to see the Samoa granola recipe! It sounds amazing.
Oh and also because Friday is wine night! 🙂 woot woot!
OMG, I want that granola recipe AND black bean burgers – YUM!
Can’t wait for the granola recipe!! Sounds delicious!
