Welcome to yet another edition of WIAW!  Be sure to stop by and visit Jenn at Peas & Crayons to see more yummy eats!

Let’s get this party started… Smile

Breakfast

WIAW #4 001

Yep, another smoothie.  This never gets old!

This was exactly what I needed after my 4 mile run!

In the mix was…

    • 1 frozen banana (I’m quickly realizing that frozen is the only way to go)
    • 1 scoop Sun Warrior chocolate protein powder
    • 1 tablespoon Hershey’s Dark Chocolate cocoa powder
    • 1 spoon of PB
    • 1 cup skim milk
    • 1 large handful spinach

…blend (well) and enjoy!

Lunch

So, I decided to change things up this week and bring my lunch from home today.  I saved my free lunch coupon for tomorrow! Winking smile

WIAW #4 005

This is a simple yet delicious cheddar and tomato sandwich on whole wheat bread.  The special ingredient is the Annie’s Goddess dressing I used as a spread.  YUM!

WIAW #4 003

I also enjoyed some thick Greek yogurt with fresh strawberries as a snack.  The fresh fruit and yogurt combo really is unbeatable!

WIAW #4 006

This crisp apple was my late afternoon snack.  DELISH!

Dinner

I had a craving for some home cooked Indian food today, so dinner is going to be (it’s still simmering away on the stove) a spiced edamame, spinach, and tomato stew along side some quinoa.  I taste tested to see if I needed to adjust the spice level, and if I do say so myself, it’s quite delicious.  GO ME! (Recipe to be posted soon.)

The stars of tonight’s dinner

WIAW #4 011

Simmering away…

WIAW #4 013

The best base for any Indian dish…QUINOA!

Well, there you have it…another week, another WIAW!  I’m sure I’ll be finishing off the night with some dark chocolate chips…you know how I do! Winking smile

Have a wonderful night, y’all!

What’s the BEST thing you ate this week!?  Make me drool!

  1. Your dinner looks delicious – I’m excited for you to post the recipe!

    Hmm the best thing I ate this week was a roasted veggie and goat cheese pasta I made a few nights ago. I gobbled it right up though and forgot to take pictures. 😛

  2. I agree quinoa is by far the best alternative to rice, as a matter of fact i am going to say its better than rice.

    I ate an amazing brown rice fried rice today and the vegan pasta carbonara yesterday.

  3. Blog world is OBSESSED with annies green goddess dressing isnt it? I see it in mass quantities throughout the week and esp on WIAW…. ok ok i’ll buy it! and then make your sandwich =)

    Happy WIAW!!!! <3 hooary for joining in every week! love it girl!

  4. Hmm, I don’t know. I gotta say I’ve had a few good eats: Key Lime Pie ice cream, TJ’s savory tofu (way better than I imagined), mexi stuffed peppers. And tonight I had some beignets!

  5. Oh yum eats, especially lunch- simple yet always a winner! How convenient that you can save your lunch coupon- kinda like a ‘free from packing a lunch’ pass haha! Best thing I’ve eaten this week is potatoes roasted in truffle oil- so easy, yet so delicious!!

  6. I’ve been a total blogging slacker this week – so I’m catching up on my missed posts!

    I might be hungry (it’s definitely about lunchtime), but your sandwich looked SO delicious! I’m totally craving one now!

    This week I haven’t had a lot of inspired eats – it’s been pretty crazy busy! However, I’m looking forward to *hopefully* some great eats this weekend!

  7. Love your unique twist on Indian food and yes, quinoa is a fabulous base to anything!

    I’m with you on the chocolate chips, they are a must after dinner.
