What I Ate [In Ohio] Wednesday
I’m not in the mood to put this in some special order. It’s basically just some of the highlights of my Ohio eats, which is appropriate, since it’s What I Ate Wednesday. (Thanks for the link party, Jenn!)
So here are the fun meals that have found a home in my tummy:
Yesterday morning was Raw oatmeal (yay free samples) and I turned it into chocolate covered strawberry oatmeal.
1/3 cup oats,2/3 cup water, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 2 packets of stevia, 1/4 cup slices strawberries
My favorite dinner was courtesy of the best restaurant in Columbus, Northstar Cafe. And per usual, I had the epic veggie burger.
This is seriously a rock-your-face-off burger. Even meat eaters will agree this thing is amazing. And in case you want to try it for yourself, but don’t live in Columbus, my friend Krista was sweet enough to send me the recipe. The beets are what give it that lovely purple hue!
I also ate my weight in ice cream. Have you heard of Jeni’s?
Its the best ice cream in Columbus and they have an AMAZING variety of flavors. The girl at the counter must have sensed that I love ice cream, because she literally made let me try at least 12 different flavors before I settled on this trio:
Dark chocolate, buckeye state, and brown butter almond brittle. Heaven.
Other non-food hightlights:
Playing music with my buddy Brent (you can’t see the guitar and drum set that we were playing with!)
New kicks that I’m in love with (Shanna, this is for you!!):
Ice Green Tea Latte + Matcha powder (recommended by my bestie):
This sort of tasted like grass. In a good way. Have you tried this yet?
ummmm…I pretty much eat any ice cream you set in front of me. LOL I haven’t tried Iced green tea with matcha–but speaking of grass–wheat grass juice…which tastes like you licked the bottom of your lawn mower…I love the energy it gives me though! 🙂
Hahahaha the bottom of a lawn mower… that’s a good way to put it 😉
ice cream! Something I haven’t had in soooo long. I like the plain vanilla. With hot fudge. Obviously… lol
Nice shoes! And glad you’re enjoying Ohio.
You made it to Jeni’s! Seriously, she was one cool chick. [And I don’t call everyone a chick, so you KNOW she was cool. :)] I’m jealous of the Buckeye flavor!!!
I don’t know how I missed that pumpkin/brownie shortcut, but brownie batter sounds like a good time all around…do you use a small or a large can of pumpkin? [Did I just miss the secret when I went back to read that post?]
I use 2 cups of pumpkin with 1 family size brownie mix, but I bake it in an 8X8 pan. Does that make sense? I’m going to have to do some pumpkin alternatives, because apparently pumpkin is hard to come by here in VA!
And Jeni’s is the BEST! I thought of your post when I was there 🙂
I love strawberry or mint, those are my top too, but they vary from season to season haah 🙂
I would go crazy in that ice cream store! One of every flavor please!And I love the shoes! Super cute 🙂
My favorite Ice Cream is BANANNER! 😀 Nothing beats it. I’ve been eating a lot of oatmeal. 🙂 Oh, and Bananas with my Vanilla Spice Almond Butter. TI is just so good!
Oh that Ice cream looks amazing!! I love hazelnut praline flavour the best!!
Those ice cream flavours sound AMAZING! My favourite ice cream is this soft serve one we have in Finland…it is OUT OF THIS WORLD- actually even the regular ice cream there is amazing. My favourite conventional flavour though is cookies n cream!
jeni’s is the.best. i pretty much HAVE to go in any time i’m by one. i love brown butter almond brittle and lemon!
