Around the Fan
Normally for “What I Ate Wednesday”, I show you a snap shot of what I ate the day before, but I thought it would be fun to show you some weekend eats, since they were a little more out of the ordinary.
So this is what I ate around the Fan!
*For those of you non-richmonders, “The Fan” is a neighbodhood, near downtown Richmond, shaped like a fan.
Breakfast
I started the morning off with a classic banana smoothie (banana, protein powder, almond milk, ice, stevia, peanut butter, granola) while I read the paper and sipped coffee. Yes, I’m an old man.
And yes, that’s Samoa granola on top!
Lunch
Sarah, Lindsay, Adrienne and I wandered around the Vegetarian festival, trying samples and such.
I loved this kale! They were giving away coupons for the Tahini dressing, so I’ve already picked up a bottle of it. It’s delicious, low calorie, and vegan!
Dinner
In honor of Eric’s departure of Richmond, we had a big bar crawl on Saturday night. To ensure our stomach safety, Eric and I had dinner on the patio before hand, at F.W. Sullivan’s. I’d never actually gotten food there, so I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy this hummus wrap. I mean, I feel like it’s kind of hard to mess up a hummus wrap… but still. It was good!
This kept me nice and full while we crawled to 3 Monkeys, Starlite, New York Deli, and Babes. Is it embarrassing that my legs were sore the next day, from all the dancing? Maybe. Did I count that as my workout for the day? Yes.
We all wore stickers that said “Ay Dios Mio” and had Eric’s face on them, with a twitter hashtag.
Because that’s what real friends do. They wear stickers of their friends faces, to clearly indicate that there is a major celebration going on.
Eric and I leave for Dallas on Saturday! I can’t wait for a 20-some hour road trip!
I haven’t danced in so long so I barely remember if it was a workout. I’m leaning towards YES!
I think it depends on the dancing, Shanna 😉
SAMOA GRANOLA? Girl you need to get me some of that like asap. I totally need it in my every day mealage. Lol. That sounds good on top of a smoothie though. Mmmm hummus wrap. Oh how I love me some hummus.
It’s easy to make!! The link is above 🙂 It’s my favorite!!
Niiice. Love the touch of granola on top of your banana smoothie! I wouldn’t go dancing as my ‘workout,’ but if I happen to dance on an otherwise non-exercise day, then you bet it’s my workout!
Did you happen to pick up a recipe card for the Garlicky Kale Salad? I was at the festival too and they were out of recipe cards when I got to the whole foods table
Jess, I didn’t! 🙁 But I can try to track it down for you!
The day after a late night out I always start to feel guilty…then I think “Wait! Why are my legs so sore?” and realize I can count my dancing as a workout. That usually makes me stop feeling guilty right away 🙂
Hahaha exactly!!! 😉
That wrap….yummm!! Plus the sweet tater fries? LOVE!!
And yes, dancing is totally a workout!! Your shaking your booty right? 😉
Yum!! Dancing is definitely a workout. Sometimes when I go out dancing, I am SO sore the next day!
I totally count a night out dancing as a workout–it IS work! I mean, fun work, but yeah, I’m always sore the next day too. And you’d think a hummus wrap is pretty fail-safe…but I have had a few unfortunate members of the hummus wrap family, and I’m always baffled as to how a restaurant can make that go wrong. It’s just…hummus…in a wrap…with a few veggies…
Haha that’s kind of sad!!! So far, I’ve had good luck with them!
Luckily I’ve only come across a few bad ones, but it’s always such a surprise.
haha. i totally have been sore from dancing before too. a workout, indeed!
Dancing is most definitely a workout! Have a great trip!
