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?

Yummy WIAW eats! I don’t think I would have liked the “pork” either, one of the reasons being that I hate real pork so why try the fake stuff? But hummus and broccoli is always good, of course! 🙂
I’m totally an impulse food buyer, but always for things I think I’ll like. Wiz Khalifa totally played at my school’s spring fling this year, but my current music faves are mashups by Norwegian Recycling.
Girrrrrl, you have no idea what is on my playlist.
LMFAO – “Party Rock Anthem” (seriously obsessed with this right now)
Casely and LIl Jon – “Sweat” (amazing song to dance hip hop to)
Sean Paul – “So Fine” (another good hip hop song)
If you ever need playlist ideas, I am a music FREAK.

thanks for the review, I was hesitant to try gardein products as well because im just not a fan of meat but surprisingly they were pretty good!
Oh god, I’m the worst grocery impulse buyer- and its always some random gimmicky expensive thing at whole foods like seaweed snacks (yes, and I like them, dangit!). I’ve never had pork before, so I’d probably love this stuff. These products tend to be really high in sodium though!
yeah, uh ha you know what it is! I’ve tried that fake meat stuff. I’ve decided I’d rather just eat veggies and tofu than fake meat. I don’t think I like meat taste either. My playlist is all over the place. I love whatever they play at H&M but no idea what it is- haha. I’m listening to Wiz now…
Hahaha I LOVE The Wiz reference 😉
Yum i love pulled pork so I definitely gotta look out for this 🙂 And I’m not that much of an impulse buyer but my bf is big time!
I can’t tell you how much money I have wasted on impulse buys! I really hate when you want to try something so bad and it is yucky!
It’s weird- I’m a vegetarian too, but sometimes I see ‘meat’ products like that and I feel tempted to get them! I don’t know why, because a lot of the things- like fake bacon- are things I didn’t even like before I stopped eating meat 🙂
I don’t like the taste/texture of meat either. I feel so much better on a vegetarian diet!!
