{WIAW #24} Need Mo Veggies

April 18, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!

Have you ever wondered what I eat every day?  It’s okay if you haven’t….

If you are, however, looking for some quick food ideas and/or a yummy granola bar recipe, this is the post for you.

Check out my WIAW {What. I. Ate. Wednesday.} today as well as my previous posts (also click the link to see why I participate in WIAW and what it’s all about).

Ideas for what to eat on a daily basis from a semi-health nut! Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Peanut butter toast, waffles and eggs, drippy peanut butter sauce, fruits and nuts granola bar, taco salad, salsa ranch.

Warning: This day did not contain crazy amounts of fruits and veggies.  I know, I’m disappointed as well, however I have been out of town A LOT (I am currently blogging from a hotel room) and had limited fresh food.  If it makes you feel better, I brought carrots and apples on this trip. 😉


{Breakfast:} The usual and satisfying peanutbutter on whole wheat toast with grandma jelly.  As well as coffee, as I was planning a run.

Peanut butter and jelly toast.
Delightful coffee with soy milk.

Is it weird that sometimes I get excited to wake up so I can have my yummy breakfast?

{Lunch:} A new favorite meal.  Two scrambled eggs (microwaved. yes, microwaved.) with two Kashi whole grain waffles, the blueberry version.

Lunch: waffles, microwaved egg puff, drippy peanut buter sauce and coffee.

Instead of regular syrup, I actually made a peanutbutter syrup.

Home made drippy peanut butter syrup.

Peanutbutter syrup (1 serving):
1 TBS creamy peanutbutter
1 tsp brown sugar, 1tsp water
tiny splash of maple flavoring

Home made drippy peanut butter syrup with waffles and eggs.

It was delicious, but lacking in fruits and veggies.  I could have added veggies to the eggs and added a piece of fruit.  Or do the blueberries in the waffles count…?

{Snack}: Freshly baked Fruits ‘n Nuts granola bar with some diet dew.

Chewy fruit and nut granola bar.

My sis got me a sweet (and pink) insulated cup for my birthday.  How did she know??

Diet dew in a pretty pink mug.

{Early Dinner:} Taco-ish salad.

Taco salad deliciousness with salsa ranch.
Only had half of those chips..although they are mighty delicious

Fresh baby romaine (yummy!), chicken tenders, whole grain scoops and salsa-ranch.

Taco salad: chicken tenders, salsa ranch, romaine lettuce, whole grain scoops.

Salsa + ranch = Salsa-ranch 🙂

salsa + ranch = salsa ranch

{After-work snacks:} The rest of the chips (from the bowl above…not the rest from the bag) + cottage cheese.  And half of another Fruit ‘n Grain granola bar.  So. Good.

I heart these chips.

Time for some studying!

Really depressing material for Nutrition…all of the bad diseases that come along with inactivity and unhealthy eating.  Scary, but a good reminder to treat our bodies right!
