What I Ate Yesterday
Can someone explain to me how it’s already Wednesday? I have no idea. Let’s just jump right into the food!
Yesterday I was craving all the carbs so I started off with two pieces of Dave’s Killer Bread topped with a little butter. Nothing fancy but it satisfied my appetite! I also had a cup of coffee.
The morning was filled packed with meetings so even though I packed an apple to eat as a snack, I ended up not having time for it. I honestly didn’t even notice my stomach rumbling until noon! So around 12:15 I met up with a few friends in the cafeteria.
I had this giant salad piled high with veggies, topped with feta, chickpeas, and balsamic vinegar. Plus a few hummus and crackers on the side for good measure.
I ended up doing a decent amount of walking in the afternoon, going to different buildings for meetings. We have a pretty large campus so I was glad I got a few steps in, even if it was kind of gray and rainy out. I packed a few sugar snap peas and tomatoes to snack on in the afternoon.
I only had a handful of each but I snapped this photo before I packed them up!
Once I got home, I had a little cheese while I waited for Alex to come home. Can you tell I’m a snacker?
I’m kind of obsessed with this Cabot cheese. I tried it a few weeks ago at Wegman’s and I really liked it. It has a nutty, tangy flavor and it’s super satisfying. That held me over until Alex got home from work. (We usually carpool to work but he had a super early meeting!)
I was in the mood for soup since it was kind of dreary out, so I made this Chili Verde with White Beans and Chickpeas. This is one of my favorite weeknight meals! It literally takes 5 minutes to throw together!
This totally hit the spot! I also made a salad to eat with the soup since we had some lettuce that needed to be used.
After dinner, I nibbled on a few frozen grapes. Does anyone else love freezing grapes?
I swear, they taste like candy! Alex doesn’t really like them frozen but I can’t get enough!
What’s your favorite night time snack?
I’m linking up with Laura for What I Ate Wednesday!
toast with butter is the best! I love ezeikel toast with earth balance butter 🙂
I’ve been looking for a new quick weeknight meal, and I need to make that chili verde!

I loveee frozen grapes! They are one of my favorite snacks.
frozen grapes are perfect for sugar cravings! They legit do taste like candy 🙂
So many chickpeas in here – I very much approve. It’s probably embarrassing to ask as I’m sure you must have mentioned it before but where/as what do you work? With all the benefits you talked about before it sounds like a great job.
Frozen grapes! I’ve completely forgotten about them. Actually, I think there’s a little bag in the freezer still but it’s way too chilly for me to break them out. I’d much rather go for a bowl of your chili.
So hard to choose a favorite nighttime snack! Hot chocolate is a fave–I definitely have a sweet tooth–but a bowl of cereal often hits the spot if I’m pretty hungry.
I’ll admit, I’ve never tried frozen grapes. I pretty much refused to eat grapes until just a couple years ago–they were the only fruit I wouldn’t eat.
It’s starting to get cooler here too–soup is gonna start really hitting the spot!
Everything looks so colorful and delicious. Like you, I have no idea where this week is going. Honestly I’m actually exhausted so I’m looking forward to my weekend…tomorrow LOL.
Sugar snap peas are so delicious! I volunteered at an organic farm, over the summer, and when we harvested snap peas, it took willpower to restrain myself from grabbing fistfuls and stuffing them in my mouth. My favorite night time snack is anything that involves nut butter and chocolate 🙂
My favorite night time snack is a couple spoonfuls of flavored peanut butter. I find it really hits the spot 🙂
Love all the things you ate! I love Dave’s Killer Bread!! And can we talk about how much we love Cabot! Every time we’re in Vermont we’ll go out to the middle of no where to their creamery. So delish!! All of them are so, so good 🙂 Freezing grapes is definitely the way to go, too. My favorite night-time snack is grapes (moon drop are my current obsession) or sharing an apple with the hubs and pups! 🙂
