What [We] Ate Wednesday
Remember when I asked for some recipe ideas for a meat-eater that doesn’t like vegetables?
Well you were all awesome at giving me suggestions. I’ve made chickpea tacos, I’ve made tamale pie. Both pretty succesful. But do you know what I’m up against? I don’t think you do. Since it’s What I Ate Wednesday, let’s take a look at a day of eats for me vs. a day of eats for the veggie-hater.
Breakfast for me:
Apple + peanut butter (and a couple handfuls of Kellogg’s Fiber Plus Cinnamon Oat cereal)
I was out of yogurt, and since a friend was staying on our couch due to the power outage, I thought it would be rude to use my vitamix 😉 Hence the unusual breakfast.
Breakfast for the Veggie-hater:
Nothing. (I don’t know how anyone can start their day without breakfast.)
Lunch for me:
Trader Joe’s spiced soybeans! Check out the nutritional facts (and be sure to double it, because seriously, who eats half a package?) Yes, that’s 400 calories, 28 grams of protein and 24 grams of fiber.
I also had some soy crisps for a little afternoon snack. Oh and multiple cups of coffee.
Lunch for the veggie hater:
Nothing. Wait, what? I know. Don’t worry, he normally eats a Lunchable.
Later that day…
*Phone rings* I don’t answer, because I’m busy pole dancing.
*I call him back*
He complains that he’s starving because he hasn’t eaten all day. After a 15 minute discussion of what we could both eat, we decide he should just pick up some food for himself and bring it over, and I’ll eat my vegetables.
Dinner for me:
Salad topped with hummus and almonds (I later added some salsa) plus a baby sweet potato topped with almond butter. (If you’re dying for another picture of this, see Monday’s post.)
Dinner for the veggie-hater:
An entire pepperoni pizza + orange soda.
Love salad + hummus and almond butter + sweet potatoes! I’m addicted to sweet potatoes right now. Crazy that some people will go half the day w/o eating. I would be so cranky if I did that.
I honesty dont understand people who don’t eat breakfast! Its what gets me out of bed!!
That salad looks sooo good!
Wow! that actually must be tough! I cannot believe the veggie hater does not eat breakie!! I would literally faint if I didn’t. Happy WIAW 🙂
Me too!!! It’s basically the only reason I get out of bed 😉
Wow I wish I had a TJ’s here in Texas, those soybeans look so yummy!! My dad is the same way with eating, it’s so weird! I’ve come to one conclusion: all boys are silly haha
I don’t know how someone can go all day without eating, then come home and eat a whole pizza. I’d feel sick! Men are weird lol… great idea for a WIAW post!
ahahah oh gosh sounds like my bro!
Is it wrong that I was tempted by the pizza? 😉
Oh my. Sounds like my problem. Living with him has made me so lazy cause I just get annoyed when I cook a big meal that I think is delicious then he’s like “where’s the meat”. Screw you! This was hard and delicious! But I love him.. Le sigh.
Hahaha I know exactly how you feel! I’m glad I’m not the only one 🙂
Oh that sounds like my Hubby!!! I made him breakfast to go today, but he is a shocker, he hardly eats all day at work and then comes home starving!! He particularly hates it when I serve him up a whole plate full of veg and not much meat for dinner!!! Food looks great by the way!
i really don’t think i could go a day without breakfast.
oh those empty plates make me giggle.
