Hookay sooo... I totally just got back from NYC and... HOLY COW! I think I'm in love. In fact, I know it! Trip photos? Ummm... you'll have to harass my jet lagged bootay for them another day. This WIAW's day of eats took place last week before the jet setting, train hopping, and wedding festivities. So without further rambling adieu, here's a day's worth of face-stuffage from last week.
Breakfast looked a lot like this:
Only it was with a blood orange instead of clementines and scarfed so freakishly fast [at the buttcrack of dawn no less!] that there are no photo of its fluffy, citrus-y gloriousness. Tragic, I know. Can't take me anywhere.
Snacks were also pretty fruity:
 |
| only ate one of these bad boys. eating four in a sitting would be a tad nutty |
 |
| if i'm going to eat flavored yogurt, this is what I reach for! |
 |
| veggie falafel with roasted red pepper hummus and plain greek yogurt |
 |
| hummus and rice stuffed grape leaves |
 |
| black bean, jalapeno, onion, and habanero cheddar quesadilla with guac + greek yogurt |
Overall a tasty day with more way more fruit than usual! It must be the warm weather that's influencing my snacking habits... I'm sensing boatloads of salads in my near future. Also, I'm still trucking along with my goal to "Veg Up with an Extra Cup" of veggies each day all throughout the month, including while on vacation! It was uber easy days and a little more challenging on others -- I'll show you how I snuck them in while trotting around NYC in a follow-up post. Count on it! But for now, let's see what you've been eating lately!
Happy What I Ate Wednesday!
Want to join in on the fun?
Annnnnnd..... Since you made it all the way to the bottom of this post I guess you deserve some sort of sneak peek at my trip eh? I think so too. Will a photo of the random guy filming himself singing in the middle of Times Square count?
He's special.
and so are you
Love the look of that quesadilla! One of my fave dishes ... looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteI saw that last pic start to lad and I was sooooo hoping it was the naked cowboy. LOL!
ReplyDeletebahahaha! you would! well I did see elmo... that's almost as good =)
ReplyDeletePersonally I find NYC WAY overwhelming, but I'm glad you are in love. I think I might be in love with those falafel. ;)
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I'd like chobani lemon, but I was soooooo wrong!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the picture of those bananas is making me crave one like mad!! And yay for lemon chobani! Definitely one of the best flavors :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a quesadilla in forever - I think that's going to have to be on next week's menu :) Happy Wednesday girl....can't wait to hear about your trip!
ReplyDeletewelcome home!!!!! can't wait for the PICS!
ReplyDeleteI could eat Every One Of Your Photos, Jenn! Of course, Not the guy in Times Square!! Love stuffed grape leaves. I love NYC too, so I'm jealous! Happy WIAW!!
ReplyDeleteI made kale chips for the first time this week--served as my extra cup at dinner last night!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks soo delicious! So jealous you went to NYC. Love it there. There are some wild people. Perfect for people watching ;)
ReplyDeletewe didn't take ANY pictures together. I'm appalled.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed NYC! It's funny because I grew up here and I HATE NY LOL. But It's interesting to see when other people can find greatness! It's like me and FL I can visit but never live lol :)
ReplyDeleteOh how I love stuffed grape leaves :)
ReplyDeleteI love falafel! It is one of my favs! I haven't made it in forever now, but you have now influenced me to do so! Can't wait to hear more about your trip too. I <3 NYC!
ReplyDeleteYour falafel look yummy! Love the NYC picture - it's such a fantastic place. Glad you had a great trip, thank you for the continued inspiration in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI love your breakfast - it all looks so fresh. I was in NYC this weekend too! The weather on Friday and Saturday was beautiful - can't wait to see your pics!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenn, I hopped on your WIAW at the last minute this morning but don't quite have my post together as a "real" WIAW follower. Next week I will do better. It has been great following your comments at Talia's home Bitesizewellness.com. Thanks so much for hosting this great hop, I can't wait to post my weekly eats next week. Thanks, Jana
ReplyDeleteThat quesadilla looks so delicious! I have never been to NYC but it is somewhere I would like to go. Glad you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteIt must be the warmer weather and the fact that the fruit is just so good right now. I have been craving fruit like no other!
ReplyDeleteI will always love a post with quesadillas in it! And I love how your lunch was falafels - I had that just two days ago. Yum yum!
ReplyDeleteIt really wouldn't be NYC without the random guy, now would it? LOL Those stuffed grape leaves look interesting. *Pin!*
ReplyDeleteNYC is so magical. Glad you had a great time and I cannot wait for the details.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your time in NYC! It takes some time, but you learn to ignore the 'crazies' Can't wait to see your trip photos!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun in NYC! I absolutely love that city!

bahaha girl the crazies are everyyyywhere! <3 Even in all the little military towns I've lived in! Once I saw a parrot on a motorcycle wearing a tophat and a guy walking a pet rabbit on a leash! LOVE IT! =) Happy wiaw Sylvia!
ReplyDeleteahhhh Denise you're lucky!!!! The days I was in the city it was cold and rainy ;) but still absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteOkay I finally did a WIAW... I hope I did everything right!
ReplyDeleteI grew up on FL and love it there too! Everywhere I have lived has been wonderful EXCEPT where I live now! lol -- I would kill to move 2 hours west or south right now to civilization instead of chilling by the cow farm in BFE ;)
ReplyDeleteI know! WTF is wrong with us! I had my camera with me too but it was so freaking rainy I kept forgetting to bring it out when we had shelter. #fail
ReplyDeleteAwww :( I know what you mean! I like country style but too much is just too much! I need a balance :)
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks for the pic of the random guy! I need to start doing WIAW...maybe I'll start next week. Your photos always look so tasty!!
ReplyDeleteForgot how much I love stuffed grape leaves...it's been ages. Happy WIAW (Thursday :)

Ok, I seriously can not read these WIAW posts at work. All your delicious meals make me want to scarf down the entire hot bar at Whole Foods, which is right next door to work and SO not wallet-friendly!!
ReplyDeleteugh I wish I didn't have to drive 2 hours to scarf down some WF! =) Eat something deeeeelicous for me!!!!
