Helloooo! It’s time for another What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW), and this one includes a couple of extra drinks. I’m eating the same thing all week, at least for breakfast, lunch, and most snacks, but this is what was on the menu yesterday.
First breakfast was a rice cake (I know… but surprise), but second breakfast was a whole wheat English muffin with 1.5 TBS peeb and raspberries. Jelly is good, but I prefer the no-sugar-added goodness of fruit.
Before lunch, I snacked on 7 almonds and this sweet deal. McDonald’s has free coffee all week. McD’s has my fav black coffee, so this is great news for me. (Sadly, they put creamer in it yesterday, so I only drank about a third before tossing it.)
Lunch was not delicious, but it was soooo filling! It’s a wee bit of iceburg lettuce, napa cabbage, broccoli florets, and snow peas topped with a can of tuna and 2 TBS of TJ’s Goddess dressing (best dressing ever). This would have tasted better with 4 TBS of dressing, but I try not to go overboard.
Snack this week is awesome. I’d eat an apple and a hardboiled egg daily if I wasn’t scared I’d get sick of it.
I tried out a new recipe for dinner last night. I made a beef tagine. When I saw the recipe, I knew I just had to try it. I’m obsessed with all things “tagine” at the moment. It was good, but I wouldn’t say great. I *might* make it again, though Kevin said he liked it.
Please forgive the ugly picture.
I may have had a beer while cooking too. Appetizer? The spiced ale went well with the spices of the tagine.
Don’t forget to check out other awesome meals at Peas & Crayons’ WIAW blog-hop.
Have you given into any red cups yet? McCafe or Starbucks?
Is there any snack you could eat daily?

Happy WIAW!

Cracking up that your obsessed with all things tagine, what is your favorite tagine discovery?
November 9, 2011 at 6:55 am
tangine? how do i not know this? I bet my husband would like it too!
November 9, 2011 at 8:19 am
It’s a whole big mess of goodness! Haha. I’ll share a definition and link or two in tomorrows post.
November 9, 2011 at 7:16 am
I have not given in to the red cup yet…but it shall happen soon I am sure!
November 9, 2011 at 8:02 am
What is tangine? Is that weird that I don’t know?
I’d have to say I’m a starbucks girl, or DD.
I could eat an apple every single dayy.
November 9, 2011 at 8:18 am
Not weird at all – I’ve had a few people ask, so I’ll explain in tomorrow’s post.
November 9, 2011 at 9:28 am
Free coffee is always good! I had a coupon for free iced coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts every monday in October. Joy!
November 9, 2011 at 9:32 am
free coffee? Do I have to buy anything? omg I am totally going there tonight for some coffee before my jr high group now

I’ve never put raspberries with PB on ricecakes before, but it looks like such a yummy combo!
November 9, 2011 at 10:18 am
I have yet to make my yearly trip to Starbucks for my peppermint mocha.. but I will soooooon… apparently they have a new “skinny” peppermint mocha?! I am so there…
I could snack on Chobani and granola all day.. seriously..
November 9, 2011 at 10:22 am
I heard that too! I can’t wait to try one. I guess it’d be hypocritical to order a skinny pep mocha with whipped cream, wouldn’t it?
November 9, 2011 at 11:37 am
I haven’t had any red cups yet but I will definitely have a starbucks in the future. i can see it now…
In the fall/winter i love to snack on granny smith and pb. I also like bananas, walnuts, dates, and dried papaya.
November 9, 2011 at 12:38 pm
Sounds like a healthy day of eating! Those raspberries look so good. You’re right, a lot better than jam!
November 9, 2011 at 12:43 pm
I love that you did pb and raspberries!!
Ill need to give this a try!
November 9, 2011 at 1:26 pm
Blackberries are good too!
November 9, 2011 at 12:49 pm
Um, what is tagine?? I’ve never heard of that haha. And I haven’t had a hardboiled egg in a really long time but now I kind of want one
November 9, 2011 at 1:27 pm
It’s north African, but I’ll post a link tomorrow.
November 9, 2011 at 1:46 pm
No red cups for me….yet
November 9, 2011 at 2:01 pm
The tagine looks great, but I have no clue what ‘tagine’ is. I will Google it shorty!
I could definitely could (and try to) eat hummus and carrots daily!
November 9, 2011 at 2:11 pm
I have one of those Starbucks cups sitting on my desk right now
And I can and DO snack on at least one apple a day. Hard to get sick of that! Or tagines, yum–haven’t made one in forever, thanks for the reminder of a great and easy warm winter meal.

I pretty much eat an egg sandwich every day for breakfast. I am always afraid I’m going to get sick of it, but I really never do.
November 9, 2011 at 4:39 pm
I usually prefer to make my coffee at home (I’m a bit of a coffee snob) but I found myself at Starbucks last weekend with a couple of finds and broken down and bought an Americano with soy milk. I really don’t like Starbucks house brew…it always tastes burnt to me…but I forgot how much I adore the flavor of espresso! Mmm!
Right now, I’m on a bit of a carrot and popcorn kick. I’ve had it for a snack every day for the past three days and I’m not sick of it yet!
November 9, 2011 at 4:59 pm
I go through phases with snacks and such. Like, I’ll get on a kick and eat the same snack or breakfast or whatever for an entire month and then move on to something else. Eventually, it all cycles back around, too. I’m a total creature of habit.
November 9, 2011 at 5:07 pm
Ok, I hear McD’s has amazing coffee and I’ve never had it!!! I should swing into get it….but tell them to hold the creamer!!! LOL!!
your food looks tasty!!
xxoo
November 9, 2011 at 7:25 pm
I’d say get it while it’s hot, but this time I’ll say get it while it’s free.
November 9, 2011 at 7:12 pm
I like that beer – perfect appetizer
I am addicted to rice cake with PB2 mixed with hazelnut stevia.
November 9, 2011 at 7:40 pm
Now that sounds like a perfect day of eats! I’ve started keeping boiled eggs on hand for quick snacks and meals around here. The tagine sounds delicious too!
November 9, 2011 at 9:04 pm
Oh yes! All over the red cups — I’ve had 3 so far!
Free coffee at McD’s? Nice!
November 9, 2011 at 9:49 pm
Cool eats! I’ve been a little obsessed with frittata but also obsessed with tangine!!!
November 9, 2011 at 10:27 pm
Love the goddess dressing as well!
November 10, 2011 at 1:48 am
I love eating hard-boiled egg everyday too!
I like ‘em with a dollop of pb..
Starbucks all the way for me!!!
