I loved hearing all of your feedback on yesterday’s fix choices! As one who hates to waste money, I ended up keeping the bicycle shirt and sent back all the rest (I was on the fence with that jacket still, but I just didn’t looooove it). I figure, hey, if anything it will wind up being a fun conversation piece. Or I’ll just be the butt of everyone’s jokes. Either way, I’m cool with it.
So I thought about putting together a WIAW post for you today, but I realized that I haven’t really taken pictures of a full day of eats in a while. Instead, I figured I’d share some recent yummy eats over the past few days, including some random photos I found in my phone. Like this one.
My little stud muffin. He just looks so old to me in that photo and I’m absolutely in love with it. I just wish I could totally crop out my mid-talking face without the picture looking totally weird. Who’s good with Photoshop?
Okay, but back to the food…let’s talk about breakfast. Before the services for my 2 Nana’s on Monday, Jay and I stopped to grab some breakfast at Spillin’ the Beans.
One of their omelet specials was tomato, bacon, broccoli, and provolone with toast, and it just sounded too good to pass up. As usual, it was delicious. And the toast was doused in butter, making it 10,000x better…
As for lunches, I’m back on the salad train. And I’m totally loving it.
Yesterday’s salad was filled with the usual veggies, plus some rolled up deli ham, chunks of avocado (I wound up adding a little less than half of the avocado when all was said and done – SO good) and croutons. It’s funny how much I missed these. I guess it’s probably because we haven’t been doing the best at loading up on veggies at dinner, so it’s always nice knowing I’m at least getting a good amount of them at some point during the day.
You guys want to talk snacks? Have you tried out these Inner Bean snacks from Trader Joe’s yet?
I wound up purchasing them a while back when they were out of our favorite Inner Peas, and they were an awesome substitute. Jay would disagree, since he thinks they were gross, but don’t listen to him. Take my word (and Lucas’s)…they’re friggin’ awesome.
Now I don’t think I’ve mentioned this on the blog, but I did put it up on Instagram a while back…if you guys are looking for a fun snack for the kiddos (or yourselves, no judgment), you’ve gotta try these little frozen treats.
Often times, we’ll end up opening a food pouch for Lucas, only to have him decide that he doesn’t want it about two seconds later. At one point, I think we had about six opened, half-eaten food pouches in the fridge.
I got talking to his sitter and she said that she squirts them into little “drops” and freezes them…and it worked like a charm! I’ll pull them out ever once in a while for a snack for him and, boom, no food pouch goes to waste (because those things aren’t cheap!).
Finally, let’s talk desserts. For one, I bought a package of Twix eggs at the store the other day, and I have zero regret about that decision.
I know a lot of you guys go nuts for the Reese’s eggs that come out this time of year but, I don’t know, I guess they’re alright? Throw a Twix (or Snickers) egg at me though, and you’re immediately my best friend. Love, love, loooooove them.
Also loving? This flavor of ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s…
I spotted this at Price Chopper the other day (they were on sale for $2. something so of course I had to go look) and decided to grab it for me and Jay to share. Pretty sure it lasted all of two nights, but oh my, was it good while it lasted.
Finally, I’m going to leave you all with a couple non-food related photos taken of Lucas last night because I’m just in love with his new “do.”
I have his daddy to thank for that one after last night’s dinner, but I’m totally diggin’ it.
So how about you guys? What’s new? What’s happening? Let’s chat!

Lisa @ Life as Lisa Knows It says
I have tried that ice cream as well and I agree – SO delicious and it does not last very long in my house! :-)
Lucas is so handsome!!!
Andrea @ Pencils and Pancakes says
JGSDfosdjfskjfsnsdjkgf that ice cream. Must have now. Pretty sure “half baked” was the sole cause of my freshman 15 in college.
Britt@MyOwnBalance says
Oh my gosh! We just bought Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough and it is the most delicious thing ever! I just can’t stop myself!
Danielle @ Little Mama Big Life says
That ice-cream sounds yum! I just bought the Boom Chocolatta version and that’s pretty good too! My all time favorite right now though is the Jimmy Fallon one, The Tonight Dough! So delicious and all the proceeds benefit Serious Fun camps, which I am a part of one!
Linz @ Itz Linz says
omg i love when his hair is spiked up like that! i always do that to william’s! and ice cream? YES YES YES!
Brynn says
loving the Mohawk! Lately I’ve noticed my meals shifting to lighter foods and ingredients. Now I am all about yogurt and fruit in the mornings instead of my beloved oatmeal.
tiff @ love, sweat, & beers says
I’m such an ice cream junkie. Seriously, the addiction is real! haha I’ve been loving plain chocolate lately, but I’m going to keep an eye out for that B&J flavor. Now if only it were always $2!!
Monica says
I have no idea why you would think that shirt would be a butt of any jokes! It is cute and casual… I even think it would look cute with black dress pants and a black blazer for work, or a pair of shorts for a summer outing… I love it! Very versatile.
Harlow had a mohawk most of her babyhood. She had a long strip of hair down the middle of her head and not much else. :) She’s TWO years old TODAY. Crazy stuff, man…
Molly says
You MUST try Ben and Jerry’s Peanut Buttah! Amazing!
Liv @ Healthy Liv says
Ben & Jerrys has so many new flavors out now that I need to try! The Tonight Dough one sounds really good, and I’ve heard there’s a Peanut Butter Half Baked, too!?
Papa B says
MY poor Grandson………………..That hairdo is Child abuse
Nikki says
Lucas is so precious! It’s so crazy how fast they grow! Sometimes I wish time would just slow down a little bit. The Ben and Jerry’s looks delish, I think I may have to try it! :)
Carrie (This Fit Chick) says
Ben and Jerry’s has been killing it lately!! So many cool flavors… like a peanut butter half baked- yum!
Allison says
I recently found Twix Coconut at Target (in their Easter candy aisle). So…good! They taste just like the Caramel Delight Girl Scout cookies.
Kat @ Where the Sidewalk Ends says
Oh my goodness, he just gets more adorable by the day. He looks so much like you, too! He really looks like a little man.
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries says
Your salad sounds so good to me right now! Adding lots of avocado always takes it to a whole new level.
I’m totally one of those that am all over the Reese’s Eggs this time of year. It’s all the glorious peanut butter they pack in those babies! A Snickers Egg sounds pretty great too…I’m not sure if I’ve ever had one though!
Ashley says
