What I Ate [With Alexa] Wednesday
This Wednesday feels like a Monday… since I took Monday and Tuesday off work, while Alexa was visiting. So this Wednesday kind of crept up on me, but don’t worry, Alexa and I did a lot of photo documentation during her trip, so we can share some of our deliciousness with you.
Breakfast
Our most notable breakfast was the banana soft serve, eaten with homemade Samoa Granola.
I’m going to make you wait until Friday for the recipe, but let me tell you, this is my new favorite granola. And if you’re a girl scout cookie addict… you’re going to enjoy it.
Lunch
When Alexa comes to town, it’s mandatory that we make at least one trip to Carytown Burgers and Fries. This trip was no different.
They have an amazing black bean burger, which we devoured.
Snack
We did a lot of walking and photo taking, and thus also did a lot of snacking. We enjoyed a few Guiltless Gourmet Tortilla Chips, served with some Pineapple Salsa, which I whipped up on Sunday.
Pineapple Salsa
- 2 cups crushed pineapple or pineapple tidbits
- 3/4 cup black beans
- 1/4 cup white onion, diced
- 1/3 cup diced red, green, or orange pepper (I used orange)
- Juice from 1 lime
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Dash of hot sauce (if you’re into that)
Dinner
Since Alexa had never been to Stuzzi, we met up with Kate for $1 pizza night, and enjoyed some “Neapolitan style” pizza.
I’ve posted about the deliciousness of Stuzzi before, here, and it was no less delicious this time.
I’m so sad Alexa had to go back to Ohio, but we did accomplish an entire board of pinterest projects, so you’ll be seeing tons of new recipes, including cheesecake cookies, baked zucchini, and of course, the Samoa Granola.
Can’t wait to hear about the granola recipe it looks amazing!! X
Everything looks so tasty!
I can’t wait for the granola recipe! It sounds perfect. 🙂
$1 pizza night?! Is that for real?! I liked this place when you posted about it before, but now I REALLY like it, haha! Glad you ladies had fun! 🙂
That salsa sounds delicious! And the fact that it doesn’t contain tomatoes is pure genius!
$1 pizza night? I would be there every night!
That black bean patty looks wicked! Yes, please! 😉

Can’t wait to see all of that cooking you guys accomplished? And, oh, is that breakfast in a martini glass?? Because if it is…genius. Sheer genius.
