What I Ate: Weekend Recap
Saturday was one of those days where we didn’t really plan anything and we were just waiting to see where the day would take us. We woke up early, made some coffee, and ate a quick breakfast before heading out to walk around the river.
It was so foggy and we didn’t see very many people along the way. It was so beautiful!
Once we finished our walk around, we stopped by the South of the James farmers market to grab some produce before heading home.
Obviously we had to get a Mrs. Yoder’s donut. If you live in Richmond, then you should know about these donuts. They have magical powers. We dropped our stuff off but didn’t stay inside for long because it was so nice outside! We decided to take a walk into Carytown.
We did a little window shopping and browsed around Bygones for awhile. We eventually headed home and I made chili while Alex mowed the lawn. (It’s finally starting to feel like soup/chili weather!)
This was tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, corn, and lots of garlic, cumin, & cilantro!
We spent the afternoon just relaxing. Alex watched the Wisconsin game and I caught up on some blog reading. It was nice to just sit for awhile, since we’d gotten in over 10K steps before noon!
Once we got hungry for dinner, we walked back to Carytown to grab a bite. We somehow managed to score a table on the patio at The Daily Kitchen & Bar which is tough on a Saturday night! I had the kale salad (and a few handfuls of Alex’s french fries) and I ate every bite of this giant bowl.
I love The Daily because they have so many vegetarian options. (The menu also notes gluten free options, and even paleo items.) This kale salad was so good. Our plan was to play some putt-putt after dinner but we realized that the course was about to close as we were finishing up our dinner so we settled for Sweet Frog instead. Frozen yogurt is always a good idea.
Not a bad way to end our Saturday! I think I needed it after all the activity. According to my FitBit, we took over 24K steps!
What’s the last thing you ate?
I’m linking up to What I Ate Wednesday!
Wow, that’s a lot of steps! The views on your walk are so nice. And yes, frozen yogurt is always a good idea!
Saturday was the perfect foggy morning! It looks gorgeous where you went. I’ll need to remember those donuts next time I’m in Richmond cause I’ve never heard of them before.
Last thing I ate is what I’m currently eating for breakfast- Kashi bar and Greek yogurt.
The dark chocolate almond + coconut kashi bars are my favorite! And I’m sadly out of Greek yogurt but that’s definitely another staple here!
Gah it’s been way too long since I ate frozen yogurt- drooling at that cup! The last thing I ate was some cucumber slices, cheese & crackers as my lunch did nothing to fill me up!
I love the fog pictures. It’s so eerie, yet beautiful – almost like a painting.
Yes! I totally felt like I was on a movie set or something! It just didn’t seem real!
Your Saturday morning walk is just as beautiful as all your eats.
Happy WIAW and thanks for linking up.
<3 Sweet Frogs!
Whenever John and I go out to eat he knows that I am going to snag some of his fries. It's like a wife/girlfriend rule!
The Daily is my favorite restaurant in Richmond! I love all of the healthy options and everytime I went in there during Whole30, my server knew exactly what I was doing and was super helpful in helping me with options.
Wow the walk looks so gorgeous. And oh man I think I might be including a donut trip on my weekend itinerary.. YUM. Also, holy steps! That’s awesome 🙂
Yay for chili weather!! love soups and chili cannot wait until i make the first pot of the season. Congrats on the 24k step day! sounds like a great reason for froyo!
Walking or biking through fog is both somewhat mystical and calming and it’s great to start they with a walk of any kind.
It’s been a chili kind of weather for a few weeks already for us and getting out of bed is getting harder [I sleep with an open window = chilly!].
