What I [Tried] Wednesday
Yesterday was kind of a bad day. [Insert work frustrations.] But thats ok, because:
1. I usually love work, so a bad day just means that I got a little frustrated…
2. When I’m frustrated I liked to run. Or clean. And both of those were on my agenda anyway!
3. It’s a new day, and not just any day, it’s What I Ate Wednesday!!!
So in case you missed the memo, I’m a vegetarian. Why? Well, mostly because I just don’t like meat. For lots of reasons. One being the taste. Yet for some reason, this caught my eye:
And I threw it in the cart. Impulse buy? Um, yes. But I liked the Lightlife “Smart Ground” so much that I thought I’d give it a try.
So I threw together my 4 ingredient dinner:
- Veg-friendly “pork” + Whole wheat bun
- Broccoli slaw + Hummus (I needed some veggies)
And dinner was born. So how was it?
Well. The broccoli slaw topped with hummus was delicious, of course. And the “pork”… well honestly I don’t remember what pork tastes like but… I guess this tasted like pork. So I didn’t really like it.
Sometimes I’m kind of an idiot. I know.
But before the dinner fail, I went for a run, which was awesome, since I hadn’t be running for awhile. Oops. It wasn’t an easy run, (I think I’m still detoxing from the second hand smoke of the weekend) but I cranked out a few miles. Good thing I had an awesome playlist. (Thank you Wiz Khalifa. I love you.) I’m still loving my rap/mashups kind of playlist.
What kind of music is on your playlist these days?
Do you ever try things you know you won’t like? Are you an impulse buyer?

It could be a trendy plus valuable part of info. I am delighted which you simply contributed this convenient details along with us. You need to keep us informed this way. Thank you for spreading.
I’m such an impulse buyer…especially at Costco. My impulse buys tend to get shoved to the back of the pantry though and then I discover them when grocery shopping is long overdue and am still disappointed.
When I went veg (for Lent) I bought a few random faux-meat products. I have to say, the Gardien brand is always favored, but I didn’t like any of their options. I’m a Morning Star fan, myself.
I have so many dinner fails..slap in the face..lol But i love that for your bad day you blew of some steam running. WHen I get the chance, I do that too!
I agree hummus is always a winner!
Broccoli slaw with hummus sounds awesome. Yes, I am sometimes an impulse buyer at the grocery store. It’s usually healthy stuff though, so that’s good.
I randomly buy fruits/veggies I’ve never heard of from the Farmer’s Market. I’m lucky – so far everything has been edible. The jackfruit was a little intimidating though. 🙂
I bought vegetrain pulled pork once too and was so excited thinking it would taste like real pulled pork – but it was just gross!!
I like mashups for working out too but lately I’ve been listening to Cut Copy & Friendly Fires!
