Thanks for checking out my latest What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW) post. If you hadn’t noticed, I’m a big fan of the weekly linkups. You can check them all out at Peas and Crayons.
Pre-Gym: salt-free rice cake & 1 tsp PB Crave Cookie Nookie
Post-Gym: brown rice, Rotel, bell pepper, and egg whites… along with 10 almonds about an hour later
Lunch: salad (cabbage, radish, carrots, 1 tbs sunflower seeds, 2 tbs dressing, baby greens) & grande skinny cappuccino (gotta love work meetings at Starbucks!)
*dressing = Newman’s Own Lite Honey Mustard, I’ve been buying healthy and expensive dressings lately, and I end up hating them 80% of the time. I decided it was time to just go back to basics, and this one’s a winner.
Snack: plain low-fat yogurt & raspberries (great combo – nice and tart)… and an apple about an hour later
Dinner: plain baked tofu (I actually love plain tofu.), roast cauliflower, and Miss Smart’s squash riso-faux (I made a few changes due to what I had on hand, ie: walnuts for cranberries and butternut squash for buttercup squash, but all-in-all, it was fan-freakin-tastic!)
Dessert: whole wheat dark chocolate pumpkin muffin (Yup, I’m wearing heart pajamas. I’m a lover, not a fighter.)
- What’s your go-to coffee beverage?

oh that muffin sounds delicious… and your heart pjs are adorable!
October 17, 2012 at 6:15 am
Everything looks tasty!
October 17, 2012 at 6:32 am
I love all your eats! No shame in the PJS ;D

Rice cakes are totally underrated. Have you had the lightly salted ones from Trader Joe’s? I never thought I would crave a rice cake in my life until I ate those! [Although, considering I love cardboard crackers known as Wasa, I'm not sure that is surprising.]
Glad you made the riso-faux! It looks beautiful, and I LOVE your substtutions.

I am desperate to try the new pumpkin spiced latte in Starbucks right now.
October 18, 2012 at 10:31 am
Soooo good! I haven’t had one this year though. I’m saving up for their Christmastime peppermint mochas!
October 17, 2012 at 7:18 am
I just saw that PB Crave on our shelves at work, I need to try it sometime (I love PB and rice cakes!).
Favorite coffee? I like it black, but if I’m going to splurge, I love a skinny latte with sugar fre vanilla and extra foam
October 17, 2012 at 8:23 am
Chocolate pumpkin muffin!! NOM!
That bologna cat, omg I about wet my pants, hahaha!
October 17, 2012 at 8:27 am
You’d never hear me complaining about having a work meeting in Starbucks! And good choice in drinks
Cappuccinos are definitely my favorite, although sometimes nothing hits the spot like a vanilla latte.
October 18, 2012 at 10:29 am
I hear ya. I’m one of those indecisive types at the register going back and forth between cappuccino and latte. Too many choices!
October 17, 2012 at 8:30 am
Yum. That dark chocolate pumpkin muffin looks ah-mazing!! Is that recipe for the “near” future?
And I love that cat picture. Reminds me of the Oscar Meyer commercials from when I was younger… It’s how I learned to spell Bologna!
October 18, 2012 at 10:27 am
Nope, no recipe. They turned out pretty well, but they’re not fantastic. Plus, I threw stuff together without writing it down or measuring. Blogger fail! Haha

My go-to coffee is from Starbucks. A grande drip with just a few shakes of cinnamon. SO good.
October 18, 2012 at 10:26 am
I love Starbucks espresso drinks, but the drip is way too strong for me. Sounds backwards, right? I’m such a wimp!
October 17, 2012 at 9:00 am
Starbucks or Bridghead!
Your noms look nommmy!
October 17, 2012 at 9:15 am
How. Have. I. Never. Smeared. Peanut. Butter. On. My. Cake. Of. Rice!?
October 17, 2012 at 9:18 am
Great healthy eating day! I’ll have to check out that riso-faux, sounds yummy. And your dark chocolate pumpkin muffin looks amazing.
October 17, 2012 at 9:21 am
Love the eats! My favorite coffee beverage is rather boring – an Americano. I get the punch of an espresso with the size of a coffee to keep me warming out as I drink it. No calories!
October 17, 2012 at 9:51 am
I need to try that faux risotto! Your looks fab.
I’m not a big “fancy” coffee person, but I do treat myself to Americanos when I have to fly out early in the morning.
October 17, 2012 at 10:10 am
Love the pjs
I love the peppermint mocha’s at starbucks.. and obviously pumpkin spice lattes 
mmmm
October 17, 2012 at 10:57 am
Haha, Cookie Nookie….awesome name. I’m a plain ol’ coffee girl, and I usually brew it at home (I’m cheap, what can I say?), but I HAVE been adding a teaspoon or so of pumpkin pie spice to the grounds lately. Makes it feel more special!
October 18, 2012 at 10:25 am
The name cracks me up to. Ya kind of have to wonder what they were thinking with that one.
October 17, 2012 at 11:46 am
Skinny (sometimes soy depending on my dairy intake) latte, no foam. Bam.
October 18, 2012 at 10:23 am
I always go back and forth between latte and cappuccino. Always such a treat!
October 17, 2012 at 12:08 pm
Confession: I wear Curious George Jammie’s!
October 17, 2012 at 2:32 pm
I also saw the recipe for squash riso-faux. It looks fantastic–glad you tried it and gave it a thumbs up. My go-to coffee drink is an Americano. Simple, but I love it.
October 17, 2012 at 7:45 pm
Try Annie’s goddess dressing. FANTASTIC.
October 17, 2012 at 9:27 pm
Lately I’m obsessed with decaf Americanos with soy milk or 2% milk. I love it when they taste creamy!
October 18, 2012 at 10:22 am
I agree – soy milk makes for a super creamy drink
October 17, 2012 at 10:16 pm
I do coffee with a splash of almond milk, and some stevia! Or if I’m at starbucks, a splash of soymilk and a little sugar free vanilla
October 18, 2012 at 10:21 am
I like almond milk a lot, but for some reason, I just can’t take it in coffee. Weird, right?
