I swear, Wednesdays are coming around quicker and quicker all of a sudden. I seriously feel like I *just* wrote up last week’s WIAW post. Sheesh!
Hey, good thing we’ve got What I Ate Wednesday, right? Right!
8:00am – Breakfast
Egg white, provolone, & raspberry jam sandwich on a toasted bagel + grapes + coffee.
(FYI: I’ve had a few of you ask which kind of bagels I’ve been eating – they’re Weight Watchers brand, and come in at 150 calories with 9 grams of fiber. I love them because they’re not as big as a typical bagel but are more satisfying than a bagel thin.)
No Mid-Morning Snack
My stomach was a little whacky yesterday so I never wound up with much of an appetite for anything until lunch rolled around. No biggie.
1:30pm – Lunch
Leftover salad from Sunday + half a banana + an apple cinnamon Chobani.
There’s something just so amazing about being able to open a container and having the salad already prepared. If I had the extra money, I swear I would hire someone to do that for me.
I also ended up dipping my banana in some peanut butter because, well, I needed an excuse for some peanut butter.
No Mid-Afternoon Snack
I guess Monday just wasn’t much of a snacky day? I didn’t feel the need for one, so I didn’t force it. Although I did end up snacking on a small handful of Love Grown granola before starting up dinner, so I guess we can call that my snack?
7:00pm – Dinner
Oh yeah, baby. Chicken Caesar Burgers + a side of unphotographed sugar snap peas & corn.
Gosh, that thing was good. I miss it already.
8:30pm – Dessert
Jay and I managed to finish off the rest of the strawberry angel food trifle that we had leftover from Sunday while watching HIMYM (<—anyone catch the end of the episode? Seriously, what’s going on?!?)
It wasn’t a huge portion (bummer) but it sure was yummy. I think I need an excuse to make this thing again!
So there ya have it, folks. That’s what I ate…Monday-style.
Question for the Morning:
What’s the BEST thing you’ve eaten so far this week?
Alysha @Shesontherun says
Shrimp fajitas (and a banana nutella chimichanga for dessert) when we went out for Mexican on Saturday. I could eat Mexican once a week at least!
Hayley C @ Running Down the Runway says
Hmm tough one! Probably the delicious coconut cake with cream cheese frosting we had on Mother’s Day. It’s the best cake ever.
Angela @ Sleep and Repeat says
I sometimes have not so snacky days too! hah – my iphone tried to correct “snacky” to “snarky”.. now that’s not true :p and I did watch HIMYM! I was so happy with the ending because I always thought/wanted barney to end up with robin! it’s finally gotten me excited for next season! now if they can finally make some progress on revealing the mother…
Leanne says
I wish we could see HIMYM on TV in Holland. The show doesn’t air here, at least nut the current season. SO annoying! I love that show!!!
Barney and Robin? Really? Finally? ;-) So cool!!
Angela @ Sleep and Repeat says
Aw, that’s too bad! I’m sorry I spoiled you then :(
Leanne says
That’s fine .. I like watching anyway, even if I know the ‘outcome’ :D!
Blog is the New Black says
Lady, I posted about the chicken parm burgers you inspired today. You are on a ROLL with the burgers lately! See what I did there? Yaaaa, lame.
Holly says
Hahahah! I just love ya Liz :D ‘on a roll’
Nicolette says
K, HIMYM. I am also thinking “what the heck is going on!?”
They keep dancing back and forth with Robin, and I’m not sure if I like it (I did/do like Barney with Quinn). And I just want Ted to really fall for the right girl (aka Mother) already, and I am not sure if Victoria is that girl…
Though, as an aside, Robin looked great in that wedding dress.
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
That chicken Caesar burger just looks so good. I really need to make it. :)
The best thing I’ve had this week so far was rotisserie chicken. I love eating it already prepared.
Khushboo says
Have you tried roasted pumpkin/squash with almond or peanut butter? It’s a heavenly combo & I know you’d love it.
Jessie says
That chicken burger looks sooooo good!
The best thing i’ve eaten this week was homemade Fish, Chips and Mushy Minted Peas….not the healthiest but it sure was tasty!
Stellina @ My Yogurt Addiction says
Last night I had some oven roasted brussel sprout that we out of this worlddd!
Alyssa @ fit and fun in third says
Best thing I ate was a huuuuge bed of mixed greens with all the steamed seafood you could possibly imagine on top. Ate this on Sunday for Mothers Day and it was amazing!
Caitlin @ This Bride's Joyride says
Hmm, the best thing so far this week would have to be a quick version of strawberry shortcake — angel food cake with light whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Tasted like summer!
Lindsey says
I did catch that and was confused too, so Barney and Robin are getting married?!
The chocolate chip peanut butter ice cream sandwich I shared with my husband last night to celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day :)
Laurie @ Love, Laugh, Laurie says
I’m so annoyed with HIMYM! I love barney and robin together so I’m good with that, but seriously, we waited a full year for ted to cross the hallway to reveal robin? I need this show to pick up the pace! and now we have to wait all summer… Sorry, I just really want all these mysteries solved :)
Faith @ For the Health of It says
Premade salads are one of my bigger food splurges – I LOVE them when I pick them up from a store or restaurant but it’s such a hassle getting all of the individual toppings, prepping them and all of that mess…it’s worth the $5 to me to get a custom made one once or twice a week. And I’m 2 episodes behind on HIMYM and the suspense is KILLING ME! Maybe I can try to catch up tonight.
Jana @ Newly Wife Healthy Life says
I want to try those Chicken Caesar Burgers so badly, they look delicious! The best thing I have ate so far this week was my mom’s homemade cupcakes and we grilled out for the first time this season: chicken, hamburger’s, and mixed veggies. Yum!
chelcie @ chelcie's food files says
that trifle sounds so delicious! where did you get the recipe from?
Laura @ LauraLikesDesign says
I totally know what you mean about the prepared salads thing…plus prepared ones always look so much more appetizing than standing over the veggie drawer in the fridge!
Yellow Haired Girl says
I actually yelled “what?!” at the end of HIMYM. They sure know how to mess with us!
Brandi says
I also was able to catch HIMYM! If you watched the very first one, Ted was with Barney and the rest of the season was building up to Ted’s Robin moment at the end of the season finale. I knew it was going to be her!!
I love your breakfast! I am doing this protein smoothie series for breakfasts, and I sure do miss my eggs!
Natasha@yogininoms.wordpress.com says
That burger looks so incredibly delicious!
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
Everything looks fabulous!! Yum!!
Lauren @ WWoB says
In my WIAW I just posted my secret midnight yogurt bowl snack ! Well not a secret, but Ive been hoarding my combo from everyone out of laze. You eats look delicious and similar to what I like to feed myself with! BTW I read your blog on the daily, Im just too lazy to comment haha
Kristin says
I can’t wait to make the chick caesar salad burger. The chick parm. ones were delish!
I never even knew ground chicken existing until I saw your recipe I guess I just never noticed it before but it’s my new favorite meat to cook with.
Healthy food I ate this week would have to be a banana
Angela @ Health Happiness & Harmony says
I can’t wait to try your chicken parm and caesar burgers!
The best thing I ate this week was probably some purple rice sushi! I LOVE the nutty taste and texture the black rice gives to the sushi, and it holds up much better than brown or white.
Sara @ The Foodie Diaries says
I would have to say the best thing I’ve eaten this week is the water chestnut + zucchini stirfry dish I made last night with grilled chicken seasoned with a sweet sesame chili sauce. YUM! :)
Kim @ The Family Practice says
strawberries and angel food cake are a summer must have – is your trifle just layered or what did you do different? looks yummy :)
Holly says
I just saw the recipe for those burgers & I cannot wait to try them. YUM! I love Caeser salad, but avoid it because of the high cals- nice to have an alternative! :)
Julie says
Ok I’m actually a little disappointed in some of the choices for the HIMYM finale! I won’t say anything for the sake of spoilers, but I’m not happy! :-P
erica says
i just discovered trader joe’s chocolate covered peanut butter pretzles. YUM!
Jenn L @ Peas and Crayons says
aahhhh-greed! and for that reason — I totally need to pre-prep salads or make ones giant enough for leftovers! I think I’d eat 10x more veg if I did =)
Happy WIAW Courtney!!!! xo
Shannon says
That strawberry trifle looks so delicious right now. The best thing I’ve eaten so far this week is a Raspberry Jelly Jam cookie from the Lake George Baking Company (the owners of Vanilla Bean now have their own bakery on Amherst Street in Lake George Village).
MassachusEATS says
I totally agree with ya on wanting a live-in salad chef! ;)
The Caesar salad burger sounds awesome!
Sara @my less serious life says
i have this problem when i have half a banana leftover i almost always put some type of nut butter on top. i just can’t help myself!
Katy says
Crock pot sausages cooked in beer :-)
