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 usually prefer cooking myself, unless the meal out is good enough to be worth the extra money (I’m so cheap haha). The Which Wich place looks tasty though, as do all your other eats! 🙂
Your breakfast looks so good to me right now! I am so wanting some yogurt with cereal, sadly I am out of my cereal :(. I may have to send the hubby to the store, lol!!
I love the health and price of eating in, but love the fun and taste of eating out! So, both? Gotta have that balance 🙂 And I work across the street from a Which Wich and have never been…fail. May just be time to change that, your wrap looks delicious!
You should check it out! The lettuce wrap is an awesome option! 🙂
Love Which Wich!! If you haven’t tried the black bean burger, you should definitely give it a try and it is super delish with feta!
Ohh I haven’t tried the black bean burger! Next time I go, I’ll check it out!
I’ve never heard of Which wich so we must not have any in our area. The fried yellow tomatoes sound amazing! I love fried green tomatoes but haven’t had them in years!
We eat in way more often than we eat out. Actually, we probably only go out to eat once every two months. Unless you count Whole Foods Salad bar for lunches. I hit that up at least once every other week!
I had actually never had a fried GREEN tomato until last month! But it was really good, and the yellow tomato tasted pretty similar!
I barely ever eat out so I like to get adventurous in the kitchen but its great when we do, no washing up!
I like to cook and eat out! There are many foods that I am still uncomfortable making at home such as sushi and I always look forward to getting to eat that out!
Love feta! There’s a Which Wich in Charlottesville that I’ve seen but never tried. I’ll have to try it out! Lately, I’ve preferred cooking because I”m able to eat so much healthier and save money. I always enjoy a nice meal out though, just every once in a while.
I’ve heard of Which Wich but have never seen or been to one. They sound great though! In general, I prefer cooking . . . that way I can make things the way I like them. But having a nice night out every once in a while is definitely fun. 🙂
I definitely enjoy eating out more than I like cooking. It’s a shame because I spend a lot on groceries and wish I enjoyed the process of cooking more. I just don’t. I make my breakfast and lunch every day, but I’m discovering that the older I get, the more I’d rather just have someone (read: a restaurant) make me dinner! 🙂
