I’m switching things up a bit for today’s What I Ate Wednesday. It’s always good to keep things fresh anyways, don’t you think?
I decided it would be fun to share not only what I ate, but also what Lucas ate. A few of you have expressed interest so hey, why not? And I also decided to share what I ate on a Sunday, rather than a weekday like I usually do, since I often eat very differently on the weekends (aka, veggies are scarce and carbs are plentiful).
Oh, and there might also be a little somethin’ somethin’ for you guys at the end of the post, too. So let’s get started!
Breakfast
I love weekends because it gives the extra time that I never give myself during the week for breakfast. Sometimes that means pancakes, other times it means eggs. This past Sunday, it meant an omelet.
Two eggs with shredded mozz cheese, onions, and tomatoes (we were low on the greens) and a mug of coffee.
A big thank you to Jay for making it for me while I fed Lucas his breakfast, which consisted of half of a banana, a YoBaby yogurt, and a pancake.
The yogurt and banana are staples, along with some whole milk he gets upon waking, but the third item usually rotates. All last week he had pancakes. Sometimes he’ll have toast, Cheerios, or an apple cinnamon Nutrigrain bar.
Mid-Morning Snack
Some things never change…
A banana with some Justin’s vanilla almond butter. THE best. stuff. ever.
No morning snack for Lucas…he was sleeping.
Lunch
Shortly after the little man woke up from his nap (12:30pm) it was lunch time. We were short on food since a grocery trip was on the agenda for after lunch, so I kept things simple for him with a PB&J sandwich on whole wheat bread, along with the other half of his banana from breakfast.
Lucas has no problem eating an entire PB&J sandwich. Again, this is a go-to for when he’s being picky. And if/when he starts to lose interest, we give him a fork and he’s back in the game.
His sandwich actually wound up looking so good that I made one for myself and we had them together.
So cute, I know.
Afternoon Snack
While we were grocery shopping, I wound up picking up two 6-packs of muffins from the bakery because they were on sale (2 for $3.00!). We certainly did not need them, but I was hungry and it was a good deal.
I ate half of one in the car on the way home because I was starting to get hungry, then Lucas and I ended up sharing the other half a little later in the afternoon.
Lucas also had another sippy cup of whole milk before his afternoon nap, along with some more Cheerios. The muffins were good but, unfortunately, totally lacking in the blueberry department.
Pre-Dinner Beverage
I had to make a trip to the liquor store on Friday and while I was there, saw they had some hard cider by the counter and bought a bottle on impulse. I forgot about it again until Sunday so I poured myself a glass while we were getting dinner ready.
Lucas did not partake in this one and stuck with water instead.
Dinner
We decided to wait to have our dinner until after Lucas went to bed, but Lucas got his dinner around 5:30, which consisted of some unpictured peas, carrots, and grapes, along with some Easy Cheesy Spinach Pasta.
My friend Kanika originally turned me on to this recipe and we all LOVE it in our house. I’ve made it a couple of times, thinking I made enough to freeze some, but Lucas ends up working his way through the entire batch before I get the chance to put it in the freezer. I posted the recipe I use on the Baby Tooth page yesterday, so be sure to check it out. Perfect for babies AND adults. Trust me.
As for our dinner, Jay and I have been saying for a couple of weeks now that we wanted to make pizza, so we finally got down to business and made it happen.
Our pizza of choice was BBQ Chicken on a homemade honey whole wheat crust with fresh mozzarella.
Oh my godddd, it was so good.
I ended up eating two slices, which were way more filling than I was expecting, thanks to the nice, thick crust.
And I also loved the way that it cooked up on our new Simply Calphalon pizza pan.
Thanks to a new partnership I’ve started with Sears, I was recently given the opportunity to try out some of the Simply Calphalon line of products which is now newly available at the store.
The Simply Calphalon Bakeware line features a durable, toffee-colored nonstick surface coating, making for easy clean-up and release of food (the pizza did amazing on it, seriously).
The Simply Calphalon Nonstick pans worked great for my omelet, some bacon, and for sautéing up some onions for the pizza.
We were a little unsure about them at first, since they’re different from the current pans we use, but we were both pleasantly surprised with their performance.
Nice, easy clean-up, comfortable silicone handles, and hard-anodized aluminum for durability.
They also have a large line of utensils tools – both nylon and wooden – and offer a lifetime warranty.
Thanks again, Sears and Calphalon!
Dessert
Okay, of course I can’t go without my dessert – even if we didn’t finish dinner until about 8pm – so I ended the evening with a couple of my Godiva truffles.
Seriously…the Caramel Truffle Flight is out. of. this. world. Oh, and I guess we’ll say Lucas had his bottle of whole milk at bedtime for his dessert? Because mama doesn’t share her chocolate.
So that’s all I have for WIAW today, but before signing off, I want to offer a little something…
I’d like to give away this awesome Simply Calphalon cupcake pan/holder that I received, along with a few other hand-selected goodies from Yours Truly, as a thank you for reading along with me. I really appreciate you guys so, so much.
To enter, just leave me a positive comment on today’s post. I’ll choose a random winner (U.S. residents only, please!) on Friday, 9/19. Good luck, and thank you you so much for reading STSL.

Nikki says
Lucas seems to be a great eater – I hope I am that lucky!!
Ash @ Ash's Right Direction says
My little guy loves PB & J too! He also likes PB & Honey – it is my favorite so I make one and give him half and me half! Mason also loves oatmeal squares and Greek yogurt. Mason would not have let that half of banana sit until lunch – he is a fruit hog! lol I love watching them try new things and develop their own tastes.
We are making homemade pizza tonight too. We are going to do it on the grill tonight if the weather is nice.
Allie E. says
I’m one post away from buying some Godiva truffles for myself… they sound better and better each time! :)
Stephanie says
There’s always room for dessert, especially when it’s chocolate!

Beckie says
I love that you are so true to yourself-sure you try to eat healthy but some days the chocolate call is too strong to ignore. Thanks for having such an amazing blog!
Tiff @ Love, Sweat, & Beers says
Given how pizza crazy my family is (okay, it’s me. just me) I really need a pizza pan or stone of some sort.
And by the way, now I want a pb&j! :) I haven’t given Ethan any nuts yet, but since it’s only a couple weeks until he turns one (OMG!!!), I think he’ll get to try a little almond butter soon.
karleen says
that pizza pan looks awesome! we have clay type one and I swear my fiance thinks it leaves a weird after taste on his pizza when we use it. I’d be interested to try it!
Jill says
That pizza looks so delicious! We are enjoying some beautiful fall weather here in Illinois. I love FALL!
michelle says
That cheesy spinach pasta looks awesome. Lucas is such a cutie!

That pizza looks amazing! I like that you added the food you fed to Lucas too! Gives me ideas for someday when I have a baby :)
Crystal D. says
I can’t wait to try the pasta recipe with my little guy. He is not a fan of spinach so hopefully he will like this and I can sneak it into him! I loved hearing what Lucas ate all day. I never thought of giving Michael Nutrigrain Bars! They are so good and I know he will love them! I am going to add those to my grocery list. Thanks!
Kendall says
The cheesy spinach pasta looks yummy! My 13th month old would love it!
Karen says

Avery says
We registered for Calphalon products for our wedding. Loved everything that we got. Great products!
Britt says
I love new kitchen stuff!! And your pizza looks delish. Craving sparked!
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries says
PB&J is a go-to in our house if Hunter is being picky and/or we’re low on groceries too. And it’s not uncommon for me to eat one with him either. ;)
That PIZZA! Yummmmm.
Jenna says
The frequency in which I make cupcakes is a little embarrassing…they’re my favorite! It would be great to win something to transport them in so I don’t wind up eating them all myself! I love your WIAW posts! They always give me great lunch and dinner ideas!
Dana says
I really liked this “What I Ate Wednesday” post! I enjoyed seeing different “weekend” eats and it was cool to see what Lucas eats too! And That Pizza! Oh. My. Imma’ have to try that!!

Shawna says
he’s so adorable. your pizza looks great — i used to love making homemade pizza, but haven’t in so long. definitely inspires me to get at it again.
Lauren says
That pizza looks amazing! Would love to know what dough recipe you use. I love making dough and usually double it to freeze half for the next time.
Lucas’ breakfast looks a lot like my 14mo. Sometimes I scoop his yogurt into a pouch so he can eat it while I get ready, he loves those things!
Mary says
Alwasy LOVE your positive attitude! Seeing pictures of Lucas makes me want to HUG my grandbaby! Keep inspiring!
Allie says
Man those chocolates look delicious! And so does that pasta…I’d love to get some more greens into my diet!
And that pan would help me cook. I’d love to have it in my kitchen!
Susan says
I can’t wait until my little one starts eating solids! We’ll definitely try the cheesy spinach pasta!

Ashley Johnson says
Loving the fall weather in NYC!! And think Lucas is totally ADORABLE!
Melissa says
That pizza looks amazing. I need to try that. I could eat pizza EVERY day.
Amber S. says
I always want to make homemade pizza but whenever I’ve tried in the past the cheese and crust just don’t taste good. Any recommendations on what kind of crust to get (I usually buy pre-made) or what cheese to use?
Kristin says
I’ve been reading your blog since the beginning. Yours is one of the few that I love to read that is still active and always fresh, and being in the Capital Region myself, it’s so much fun to still be able to check in each day and see new posts. :)
Rochelle says
It’s so awesome that you get to try and review so many cool products for us. Thank you, as always, for your honest reviews! Your pizza looks amazing, by the way. If you ever wanted to share the recipe you follow for it, I’d LOVE to try it myself! And that cupcake holder sure looks convenient for transporting cupcakes to parties or just for sharing with work. Thanks for offering them up to your followers!
Becky says
Those truffles look out of this world good. I will have to try the spinach pasta. My kids aren’t into mac and cheese so i’m not hopeful but at least I can eat what they don’t!
Ashlie A. says
I look forward to your posts every day…when they include Lucas they are the BEST!!
Katie says
That pizza crust looked amazing!!
Monique says

That pizza looks amazing!
Sara M. says
I LOVE Calphalon products!

Sara says
I love hearing about what that handsome little boy eats — gives me meal inspiration for my little guy.
Lisa McGeen says
I love that you shared both of your meals. I am hungry now for pizza. Maybe a good option for dinner.

I swear your little guy gets cuter every day!
Kristin Q says
Yum I love seeing your eats from the weekend. They all look so delicious!
Krystina says
Mmmm I totally want some homemade pizza now!! Looks delish!!
Cassie says
Omg, Price Chopper muffins are the best. Is it weird that I recognized them? That pizza looks amazing! I find that grilling pizza works better for me, but I have a feeling it has to do with the pan.
Papa B says
Those new pans would be nice but I would prefer you share that chocolate
:)
Aria says
So pretty much everyhting you made looks amazing :) Quick question – what kind of pizza dough do you use and how do you get it that flat and perfect?? I like trader joe’s but mine usually looks a mess haha :)
JenG says
I’ve always been intrigued by pizza pans…we are so great a burning pizza on our stone that we need to try a new option. I think i’ll have to try one
Amy says
Hello Courtney,
Your eats this weekend along with Lucas’s look great!He just seems to be getting cuter as he ages!
I would love to win this *Giveaway* ! I just have all these mixed-up and matchless pots, pans and cooking ware, which aren’t the best quality. I’ve wanted to invest in some higher quality ware, but haven’t due to expenses. I’ve heard of Calphalon by a few other friends. I hope to win this *Giveaway* for the cupcake pan/holder along with other “goodies” you noted you may include!
~Amy :-)
Wanda W says
That pizza looks so yummy!!
PS Lucus is so cute!!
Karin says
Calphalon products are great…but a little outside my price range on my stipend!
Kari K says
My hubby and I have been craving pizza for a few weeks now. After seeing yours, I think we might make some tomorrow night!
Robin says
I love the matching PB&J sandwiches- too cute!
Victoria says
I’m so encouraged by Lucas’ good eating! As the mom of a 7 month old, it’s so great to see that progression of the baby food to real food! Can’t wait until he’s ready for the cheesy spinach pasta!
Christine says
I love my Calphalon! Can never have too many pots and pans! I would love to try that pizza pan!
Makenna Lewis says
Lucas is such a cutie pie! Man, I just moved in to a new apartment…a little Calphalon package in the mail is just what I need–I’m jealous!
Nicole S. says
I am still just LOVING on justins vanilla AB, too!!! So good!
haley @Cupcakes and Sunshine.com says
Oooh so fun! What crust recipe did you use?!
Kalynn C. says
I need to hop on the “make your own pizza” train! Also, I’ve been eyeing some hard cider, but have yet to try it. Maybe next time I’m at the store!
Anu says
I love this mommy and Lucas edition! So cute!
Lauren Mia says
Wow! I am super impressed with how great your pizza turned out. Looks like it is from a restaurant! Definately going to try making a BBQ chicken pizza soon!

Ashley Bri says
That pizza sounds awesome!
april @ Simply Sweet Living says
Do you have a recipe for your pizza? We love making pizzas around here. That cupcake carrier would be the perfect addition to my cupcake addiction! ;) I always love your posts! Keep it up!
Jasmine @ A cupcake for my thoughts says
That pizza looks delicious, could you post the recipe for the dough sometime? It looks so good, bbq pizza isn’t usually my thing but that dough looks really good!
Ashleigh says
That pizza looks fantastic!
Sara @ Lake Shore Runner says
That pizza looks awesome! You guys don’t need to order out pizza anymore if you can make pizza that well :) I love all of your posts and recipes, and look forward to them each and everyday. Thanks!
Kim @FITsique says
Is it weird that I think that feeding and knowing how much and what to give a toddler is going to be the hardest part?! Love that you guys get to eat together what a cute lunch date!
Kari S. says
I love the duo WIAW! Also, the faces that Lucas makes just crack me up!
Julie says
Wow! That pizza looks delish!
Laura says
You seem to be doing such a good job balancing everything! The pizza looks delicious– I want to go get one of the Calphalon pizza pans immediately!

Charlotte says
Your pizza look delicious! I definitely am in the mood to make some now.
Keep up the Lucas pictures/eats! I love them

The spinach pasta looks great, ideas that work for babies and adults are wonderful. Also the idea to give him the fork after he gets bored to bring him back to eating is a good idea. If you give it in the beginning eating is usually pretty slow and then when they get bored its hard to figure out how to get their attention back to the food.
