Happy WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) Y’all! Here’s a little recap of what I worked and ate yesterday.
6:30 – Breakfast: vanilla whey protein oats with chia seeds
9:30 – Snack: rice cake topped with yummus
Noon – Lunch: half sweet potato, cup of broccoli, can of tuna in water topped with a lil’ roast red pepper spread
3:00 – Snack: 3 pumpkin protein bars (There is actually a lack of protein powder. I was in a hurry on Sunday and totally forgot to add it to the mix prior to baking. Whoops! I guess they’re just healthy pumpkin bars instead.)
6:00 – Appetizer: Smuttynose Brewing’s ‘Finest Kind’ IPA <;-- such a winner!
7:30 – Dinner: roast & stuffed eggplant (Mediterranean-inspired ground beef mix inside)
8:30 – Yoga: still sticking to my nightly yoga this week
;
- Ever just forget to add ingredients to a recipe? I often get a little flighty when cooking in a hurry.

Your lunch looks delicious, yet so simple. Question.. what is yummus?
August 29, 2012 at 7:32 am
Yummy hummus

I’ve definitely forgotten important things in baking before. Something small like baking powder, that makes a HUGE difference. So annoying!

These days, I forget to add little things when I bake, like salt or baking powder, but I remember I forgot to add the sugar to a batch of muffins once, and yeah… they were basically inedible.

I’ve totally done that before with the protein bars. Still just as good

Ha, glad I’m not the only klutz.

Oh how I miss drinking beer.. I feel like I sound like an alcoholic,… but oh man how I love IPAs
August 29, 2012 at 11:40 am
Ha, I hear ya. 9 months without beer or coffee sounds beyond dreadful.

haha – i love beer appetizers! if i sip a beer before dinner i find that it helps tame my crazy hunger. the eggplant looks great!
August 30, 2012 at 9:07 am
Me too! I also knew dinner would take a while, so it was my relaxing “me time” in the kitchen after work.

I keep meaning to make a stuffed eggplant. I’ve never done it! This need to happen stat. So does seasonal beer drinking. Half way to cheat day!!!
August 30, 2012 at 9:06 am
The stuffed eggplant was good, but not as amazing as I’d hoped. I plan to redo this recipe in the near future.

Beer is my favorite food. ;o)
I suck at following recipes. I usually just wing it and yes, that means I often forget ingredients. Sometimes that works out ok, sometimes not.

I love that you are a 5 AM runner

I love smuttynose IPA! Ha, i had a beer for an appetizer tonight too…I’m glad I’m not the only one. Oh, and I found pumpkin beer for the first time at the store so I am saving that for a fall day (or tomorrow).
August 30, 2012 at 9:04 am
Haha, I love the “or tomorrow” bit. Fall seasonals are my favorites.
August 30, 2012 at 8:32 am
I’m fortunate, Smuttynose is brewed locally so I can get it anywhere – and I do! I haven’t tried the Finest Kind though!?

Do it! Hoppy Goodness
