What I Ate Wednesday- Out & About
I haven’t spent more than 5 minutes in the kitchen over the last few days. After the weekend in DC, Alex’s sister and her boyfriend came to Richmond, and we’ve been out and about in the evenings. I’m not complaining, and I’ve actually been able to make some fairly healthy choices, making me feel just fine about it. After the weekend, my body was craving fruits and veggies, so it’s been easy to find ways to satisfy those cravings!
So here’s a little What I Ate Wednesday – Out & About recap.
For breakfast, I’ve still been craving yogurt. I filled a bowl with vanilla Greek yogurt, blueberries, and some Special K protein cereal. The cereal added a nice crunch and a bonus kick of protein. This bowl kept me pretty full until lunch time.
For lunch, I was supposed to go out with my brother and his wife, but my brother wasn’t feeling well so we rescheduled. Since I already had my heart set on Which Wich, Kate joined me and I satisfied my sandwich craving.
If you have Which Wich in your area, I highly recommend it! It’s like a much more delicious version of Subway. They have tons of great vegetarian options, and it’s pretty quick to get in and out. I ordered a sandwich and added lots of veggies (and feta of course) and Kate and I shared some Sun Chips. It completely hit the spot, and I wasn’t hungry again until dinner! Normally I need an afternoon snack, but this lunch really kept me full and happy. I guess that’s what happens when you listen to your cravings.
When dinner rolled around, I went the Tobacco Company with Alex, Nicole and David. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and I had lots of hummus + pita and some fried yellow tomatoes.
It was enjoyed with a few drinks, and lots of laughter. The best kind of dinner, of course. Then naturally, we had to follow dinner with a little Sweet Frog. Obviously. (If you come visit Richmond, fro-yo is necessary.)
I’m looking forward to getting back into cooking, but I definitely enjoyed all of these meals out!
Do you like cooking or eating out?
I like both. Depends on my mood!
And I agree, Which Wich is an upgraded version of Subway – love it! It’s def. one of my top 5 sandwich shops.
Love your breakfast- sometimes the no-fuss bowls end up being the yummiest! I like a mix of eating out and cooking…too much of one and I end up craving the other! I tend to eat out 2-3 times a week…any more and my appreciation of veggies and homecooked meals go through the roof ;)!
I rarely go out to eat, but now that I’m leaning more towards vegetarian and less towards vegan, I’m having a LOT more fun with it. [My wallet isn’t, though. ;)] I think we must try The Tobacco Company next time I come to visit, because I’ve heard so many good things, although I swear I’d be content only eating at Fresca on Addison (or finally going to Ellwood Thompson’s) every time.
Subway vs. Which Wich? Go!
Oh, Which Wich hands down! They have 4-5 vegetarian options! And you can get the sandwiches in a lettuce wrap, which is awesome!
I have heard so many great things about Which Which.. now if only one existed in this part of the world, Ha!!
I’d much rather cook a meal at home then eat out.
Your breakfast is right up my street! I do like to eat out, but sometimes a home cooked meal cant be beaten!
I like cooking and eating out! WHen I cook 5 days in a row I look forward to eating out and being waited on for once 🙂 Now thats its warm I like grilling out though, fish and chicken with fresh salads, yum!! Special K protein plus is one of my favorite cereals too!
I like both! 🙂 I just got a Wich Wich near me; I’ll have to give it a try!
I so love eating out but my waistline and stomach prefers me to eat at home more often than not 🙂
Those fried tomatoes looked so good, and so different too.
Yeah, it’s a little easier to eat healthy when you’re cooking at home! The fried tomatoes we’re excellent, but I was glad I had people to share them with 😉
I like both,but I like cooking more I think. Your sandwich looks delicious and looks a bit like what I get at Subway. Sadly…no Which Wich around here… 🙁 I’ll have to look for them when we’re on one of our road trips. Have a great WIAW, Liz!
Definitely keep an eye out for a Which Wich!
Love cooking but also enjoy relaxing while someone cooks for me, if it is clean/healthy 🙂 LOVE which wich, something about writing your name on that bag 🙂 makes it sooo much fun, we just got one here in IN and I go frequently!
