What I Ate Yesterday
This is going to be an iphone-style recap of my eats yesterday because life is a little crazy at the moment. So let’s just dive right into some What I Ate Wednesday meal recaps!
I started off with a bowl of 0% Greek Yogurt from Trader Joe’s with some of their frozen Very Cherry Berry mix. I love this combo of blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and cherries. (Kroger makes a similar one but theirs has strawberries and frozen strawberries are a little tough to eat straight from the freezer!)
Around 10:30, I snacked on an apple which held me over until lunch. Sometimes I need a snack in the morning or I feel like I’m going to starve. Does anyone else feel like this?
For lunch, I packed a kale salad with the garlic tahini dressing from Whole Foods. That stuff if my JAM. It is some seriously delicious dressing and I doesn’t have any yucky ingredients. I rounded out my lunch with a cup of lentil soup form the cafeteria. Sorry for the lame picture with the styrofoam cup. The setting doesn’t do it justice because it was actually delicious.
I managed to pass on candy from the candy cart (YES we have a cart that brings candy to you. Talk about temptation.) Instead I had a protein/granola bar. I didn’t remember to take a picture but I also wouldn’t recommend the brand. It tasted fine but the ingredients were a little sketchy. Anyway, it kept me full until dinner!
I wanted to use up the ricotta cheese I had left from this spaghetti squash lasagna so I made something similar with zucchini. Honestly, I should have taken real pictures of this because I loved it.
Basically it was one huge zucchini, spiralized, mixed with spaghetti sauce which I cooked down a bit (so the dish wouldn’t be so watery in the end) and then stirred in ricotta, put it in a pan and topped it with a little mozzarella. It only needed to bake for about 10 minutes. I guess it was like baked ziti but with zucchini instead of ziti. I’ll be making this again.
After dinner, I helped Alex with a woodworking project, and by that I mean I just used the power sander and vacuumed up sawdust. Then I relaxed a bit and had some Halo Top for dessert. Kroger had been out of it for awhile so I was excited to snag a pint this week! It seriously tastes like ice cream and it only has 60 calories per serving. While I love regular ice cream, this stuff is awesome when I’m looking for a low cal treat.
Those zucchini noodles looked so good!! and saying no to a candy cart would be so hard!

I want to try that Halo top ice cream any flavor suggestions?> Right now I’m eating an apple and peanut butter…dessert at its finest!
that spaghetti squash lasagna looks amazing! so many good eats!
I’ve been eyeing that garlic tahini dressing at TJs! I make my own tahini dressing at home, but it is time consuming sometimes to get all of the ingredients together. I’ll have to grab it next time!
Yes! Sometimes I make this one at home but it definitely takes a little while since it requires a lot of unique ingredients!
I always have to have a morning snack! Apples are my favorite thing to eat too. I feel like they help me eat less for lunch.
You seriously need to repost that zucchini bake as a recipe. It looks so delicious!!
That baked “ziti” looks SO good! What a great idea to use the zucchini!
Despite the lack of a picture I think your dinner sounds great and it looks like many other commenters agree. It’s all about the cheese 😉 .
What kind of woodwork was/is Alex doing?
I’m so intrigued by Halo Top- must find!
I always enjoy seeing your recipes and food. I hope you make more recipes because I’ve been so inspired by your cooking (especially from the squash recipe).
Wow! That zucchini ziti looks delicious! I’m a sucker for any sort of vegetable slathered in pasta sauce and melted cheese! Also, I was curious about the Halo Top. I know you said it wasn’t ice cream, is it a sorbet?
