What I Ate Wednesday Link Party #17

 Consider this Wednesday
What I Ate Wednesday [Throwback Edition!]
Because what's a sick puppy to do when her eats for the last few days have consisted of nothing but guacamole, veggie pizza and generous servings of water, tea, and kombucha? Paul was also sick (though barely, that kid's immune system is a well oiled machine) and played the "Jenny I don't know hooow to cook" card.  Preposterous I say! But since the only veggies we had in the house were carrot sticks, avocados, and tomatoes, we sipped tea and ate Paul's cleverly-titled guac all weekend.

"Guac-quin Phoenix"

I'm one lucky girl? 
Yes. I meant to add the question mark. Love you Bear!

Anywho, here's a Throwback WIAW [from a few weeks ago] that never got posted.

wiaw what i ate wednesday

Breakfast

Meri said...

Glad you're on the mend! I love the name Gua-quoin phoenix :)

Erin @ UntilYouTri said...

Yum! I love your WIAW, even if it is a throwback:).

Thank you for your awesome comment on my blog. When you said you're nursing your little pet through cancer...I assume you mean an actual animal? Which one? I lost my best friend/cat to cancer last November:(. He was diagnosed around the December/January timeframe, so at least I had a good amount more time with him, but it was one of the toughest things I've ever gone through! Watching him be sick and not being able to do as much as I wish I could for him:(. So sad when our loved ones are in pain, even if they are furry kind! (In some ways it's even worse because you can't explain to them what's going on!).

Anyway, I also did not know that about how you got into nutrition! Thanks for sharing that story.

This comment got kinda long...probably should have just emailed you. Oh well, too late now!:)

Monique said...

I'm pretty sure I could live off chips, salsa and guac :) Aaaand I'm excited to start finding kiwis at the store now!!

Kate (What Kate is Cooking) said...

Hahaha! I am dying over the name of your guacamole! Seriously love it. Also- I totally agree with eating what you love :) Life is short!

Kristina @ spabettie said...

girl, I am sorry you are still sick!! I'm back this week with a WIAW Vacation Edition - we're home later this week - I need to catch up with all my friends, and I miss my doggie! :)

I hope this finds you feeling A LOT better, my dear!

Krystal said...

oooo guacamole!!!! my fave!

Andrea B. said...

You always have awesome eats girl!! I can't wait to find out about this key lime larabar. I've never seen that flavour before but I have a feeling it's going to tickle my taste buds; I love key lime (especially in pie:-)

radiomomrhetoric said...

Hey Jenn--I hope you get to feeling better!!! The Guac-quin Phoenix looks fabulous! I started a cleanse--so you probably don't wanna see what I ate. LOL off to nuke some oatmeal....

Lindsay and James Cotter said...

girl I have a BS in nutrition too and I eat just like you! mwuah!!!!!

Priyanka said...

I am going to add my eats this evening!

jillian :: cornflake dreams. said...

Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table said...

Nothing wrong with living on guac! I may do that voluntarily... :) Hope you are back at 100% ASAP.

That green bean/sweet potato fry dinner looks amazing to me. Love, love sweet potatoes.

Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen said...

Thank you for "Guac-quin" Pheonix. Just...thank you. :)

And Red Velvet Cupcake wine exists??? REALLY?!?!

Kitchen Belleicious said...

kiwi, kiwi, kiwi, my favorite fruit in the world. Can cure anything in my book!

Tiff @ Love, Sweat, and Beers said...

Yay! I'm all linked up now, but I'm sorry it didn't like my thumbnail for some reason. Bummer! By the way, your burrito looks muy delicioso!

iheartvegetables said...

This was my most boring, yet my most exciting WIAW post yet! I love your link party :)

Abigail said...

I hope you're feeling better! If you have to be sick, guacamole is the way to go :). Much love!

applesnoats said...

i love the last part about eating what you want=your way or the highway!!!!!!

Megan said...

Are u up for hire as a personal chef?? Because if you see what I ate this past week, you will understand my reasoning here. And I LOVE guac :-)

kate said...

im working on my post now woooo definitely want to try key lime larabars they sound delish!!

Jenny said...

Wow that burrito looks so good as do those fries!! Yummy :D

KT @ KT's Refinishing School said...

You can never go wrong with guacamole :)

I'm glad to see even dietetics majors eat really simple dinners for time to time--makes me as a mere mortal feel better haha

Faith said...

Mmm, the guac looks so good! You're definitely a lucky girl! ;)

Sam {fitnessfoodandfaith.blogspot.com} said...

any dinner made of sweet potato fries sounds like a winner to me :)

thefitacademic said...

haha, whatever! Your "I eat what I want" eats are STILL healthier than my "I'm trying to eat right" eats ; ) No place to judge from where I'm sitting!

Lou said...

yummy...i wish you lived with me and made my meals!!

Katy said...

Loving that Guac name! :)

temporary custody said...

Chips and salsa. The best snack I'd love to indulge in when watching a movie. I even love to make my own salsa. When I get tired, of course, going to the grocery wouldn't be that much of a burden.

LauraJayne said...

I should learn to look at this after dinner instead of before - now I'm totally starving an at least an hour away from my kitchen!

Megan said...

I've read that avocado is one of the most perfect foods, so if that's all you were getting at least it was a good choice nutritionally. Glad to hear you're feeling better.
