What I [Will] Eat Wednesday
Its time to start thinking ahead.
So lets talk about what I will be eating today. I’ve actually broken out of my food ruts the past few days, so these are some new favorite things! (Thank you Jenn, for hosting the party!)
Breakfast:
For the first time in like, 2 years, I had something that wasn’t a smoothie or yogurt for breakfast. Maybe it’s the cold temperatures? [More likely it’s the fact that I haven’t been grocery shopping to get more yogurt and soymilk.]
This was 1/3 cup oats, 2/3 cup water, 1 egg white, 2 packets of stevia. Microwaved and then topped with 1/2 banana, 1/2 tbsp of almond butter, and some cookie crumbles, from the delicious cookies that Brittany gave me on Sunday!
Lunch #1:
I usually eat a snack around 11, and then go to the gym during lunch. So this is sort of like mini lunch #1.
I’d never had a Kind Bar before. But thanks to the lovely folks at Lolihop, I got one in the box they sent me to review!
I totally bought more of these, and I can’t wait to eat another. It powered me through my workout!
Lunch #2:
That’s 1 cup plain chobani 0% greek yogurt, 1 cup blueberries, and a handful of fiber one. Simple. Delicious. (I finally sprung for overpriced blueberries because I missed it so much at breakfast.)
Afternoon Snack:
I either have a snack at work, or a snack as soon as I get home from work. Lately, this has been Fiber One with Honey Clusters.
This stuff is soooo good. I also love it on top of yogurt and smoothies.
The Snack that became Dinner:
I blame Stephanie for this one.
But I’m quite lucky to have a roommate to blame for these things. And just like Steph’s sugar cookies, these things are addicting.
Oh and did I mention this is the easiest party snack ever? I made it for tonight’s Christmas party, but my “sampling” was a little out of control 😉
Seasoned Oyster Crackers
- 1 package Ranch dressing mix (1 oz)
- 1/2 tsp dried dill weed
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 5 cups oyster cracker
Set your oven oven to 250 degrees. Combine all of your ingredients in a bowl and toss to coat. (You do need the oil to help the spices stick, so don’t skimp!) Spread out on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring gently after 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow to cool before serving. Then dig in, and you’ll never stop. Addicting to the max.
I ate so many of these that I didn’t really feel hungry until later that night.
Evening snack:
Yesterday, I sliced up some b-nut squash, and ate it with a mountain of ketchup. No joke, I eat a lot of ketchup. And I’m well aware those squash fries look kind of gross. But let me tell you, they’re amazing. This will be reappearing at dinner, because I have half a squash leftover…
I loooove KIND bars. I would highly recommend the coconut and almond (which I coincidentally tried today), that is, if you like coconut. It was like a macaroon!
Those oyster crackers look so good! I could definitly eat a ton of those! I’ve never had fiber one cereal, but I’ve seen it around in the store and have always been meaning to try it.
I love those Kind bars! They have a coconut one that is sooooo good. As for the ketchup usage, I had a roommate who put ketchup on everythingggggggggg too. I found the funniest shirt in Key West that I sent to her because of it, I just emailed you the pic of the shirt, it’s legit haha. As for myself, I’m a hot sauce addict, put that stuff on everything! But ketchup def has its place in my heart as a “sauce” for a few veggies too (ie brussels sprouts) 😉
I love to make buttternut squash fries. With lots of salt and ketchup. My kids think that is the way everyone eats “french fries”.
butternut squash has never tasted so good to me as it does right now…and yes, mounds of ketchup are always necessary…on eggs, vegetables, meat, whatever. (: xo.
ps, can i please have the pr contact for lolihop?
I love the look of those butternut squash fries!!
I have yet to eat butternut squash that way =)
Squash fries and ketchup is definitely a favorite of mine!! 😀
I will be eating some leftover stuffing as well as some gingerbread cookies. YUM!
Mmm I bet bnut and ketchup would be amazing! The BF makes fun of me because I put ketchup on everything! Love it. 🙂

I’ve never had this cereal before but it sounds great! Today I’m going to be eating a huge veggie stir fry.
