It's Wednesday! It's also the 70th What I Ate Wednesday link party.
We should probably get it a few packs of depends for its birthday....
As promised, here's part 2 of [What I Ate... on the Beach!] as well as a few other dishes I've been scarfing in heavy rotation this week.
Starting with some Bento Box sushi:
This is quite possibly one of my favorite sushi restaurants in North Carolina! They have really awesome vegetarian rolls and really unique elements such as their wasabi-infused sesame seeds. They also have a little flat screen that brodcasts live feed from the chefs while they make your rolls -- Paul and I have picked up some amazing tips here and have really honed our sushi making skills thanks to Bento Box =) Love this place!
Other amazingness from the weekend:
[black bean taco salad + cajun rubbed corn from Las Olas] [special K strawberry cereal with fresh blueberries] [the best deviled eggs of my LIFE, roasted carrots and brussels sprouts, parm + lemon tilpia, and fried okra] [my new favorite flavored yogurt - Voskos apricot mango] [eggplant, tomato, and goat cheese pizza from Osteria Cicchetti] [scrambled eggs, smashed potatoes, and a fluffy chocolate chip waffle from Causeway Cafe]
Now that I'm back home and settled,
I've been cooking up a storm & eating leftovers like there's no tomorrow:
I've rambled enough -- Let's see what you've been eating! <3
Happy What I Ate Wednesday!
Yayyy I can't wait to read all of these!
Ahh! Thats so exciting! Happy 70th birthday to WIAW!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteObv I voted for you. and peer pressured my concierge into doing the same. :)
ReplyDeleteyou can't go wrong with sushi on the beach! :)
ReplyDeleteThat sushi looks particularly amazing I must say!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 70!! Sooooo excited to be taking part for the first time today! yeay! :)
ReplyDeleteWe have been loving Brussels Sprouts lately in our house.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, HOLY CRAP! Where has the time gone! 70 already?! Our baby has grown up so fast!
ReplyDeleteSecondly, HOLD UP! You are NOT allowed to post that much deliciousness in one collage! The cajun corn alone deserves much more of a highlight than that! But seriously, I'm totally loving all this amazing comfort food...roasted brussels? fried okra? chocolate chip waffles? You're taunting me aren't you? ;) That's ok, it won't be long now before I find myself on your turf...and I have TWO requests...a quiche-a-palooza and lunch at that sushi place! :P
That looks like macaroni & cheese sushi.
ReplyDeleteI got a little excited.
Wow! We all look pretty good for 70! Haven't been here from the beginning, but I'm surely glad I found all of you wonderful crazy WIAW folks! Your food looks excellent, Jenn. Guess I need to come to NC to get some of that good stuff! Happy 70th WIAW!!
ReplyDeletehappy 70th. Love the sushi pics, let's talk about the Special K.
ReplyDeleteI think I voted for you?? I did what you said ... any way to tell if I did it properly?
ReplyDeleteHappy 70th! And I want those sushi rolls.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 70th WIAW! Everthing looks great (as usual) and the bean casserole sounds delicious (I love nutmeg in savory dishes.) You got my vote! ;)
ReplyDeleteSushi... it's something I don't crave super often, but it sounds so refreshing right now!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to checking out your latest recipes...the mushroom quiche and marinated chickpeas sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteyou are a cooking maniac! i love it! and 70?! wow, senior citizen WIAW!!
ReplyDeleteYou always eat so well! I think we need to have lunch together!
ReplyDeleteHappy 70th! Those sushi rolls look AMAZING, how I miss a good piece of sushi! Maybe I need to start making them myself... never done that :o
ReplyDeleteoops, hehe I meant for that picture to show up instead of the peas :p
ReplyDeleteHey does anyone know how to create a backlink? I reeally want to put my WIAW on (I'm a newbie obviously) but I can't figure out this backlink business
ReplyDeleteYou and Cat are pretty much the only ppl to vote.... so thank you so freaking much! I'm totally never entering another recipe contest again though! lol
ReplyDeleteHey Amy! <3 A backlink is a link back to the party so that your readers can look at everyone's eats and join in on the fun to! To add the WIAW button you just need to open your post and switch the box you write your posts in to HTML, paste the code, then switch back to continue writing as per usual =) LMK if you need any more help! xoo
ReplyDeleteHappy happy birthday, WIAW !!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in a sushi mood a lot recently, although I haven't been able to fulfill my craving often. We're talking about a going away party before we really move to Colorado and i'm really thinking a make-your-own sushi party with TONS of veggies would be really fun!
ReplyDeleteI just need to follow behind you and eat where you eat! We have yet to explore all of wilmington's food options.
ReplyDeleteSo jeal that you're moving to CO =) You guys are going to have a blast! and a make your own sushi party is always a hit!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn it worked!! :)
ReplyDeleteYay!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're seriously the best =) You can vote daily all week if you remember [my memory is jacked so no worries if you don't!] and it doesn't say anything but like alerts you that you have a free coupon after voting I think? Did it do anything? lol now I'm curious!
ReplyDeleteWhoo hoo! Happy Birthday WIAW!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say how awesome it is that you started this! Such a great way to get foodies to connect!

ReplyDeleteThis is my first WIAW (I'm number 150 above!). Thank you for starting this, and congratulations on 70 successful WIAWs! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I love the causeway cafe! We go to wilmington/wrightsville beach every year and I always make my own waffle creations; I love how many toppings you can put in!
ReplyDeleteI gawked at the toppings list for flipping EVER! The idea of oreo waffles both disgusts and intrigues me.. in the best way possible! haha!

ReplyDeletethat avocado-topped roll looks dynamite! ugh. i'm craving sushi bad. the last time i went, i decided to give in to a long craving for salmon sushi. but after a few years of vegetarian food, it was not the buttery little bit of heaven i remembered... i gotta get back on the horse soon with some cuke avocado rolls. ;-)
ReplyDeletenorth carolina looks delicious. we only ventured out once when we were on vacation there last summer.

ReplyDeleteI'm heading over to So Delicious to vote for you right now! Aaaand, I honestly can't get those cheese balls out of my mind. xoxo
We FINALLY get to have your baked sweet potatoes for dinner tonight and I've been driving my meat lovin guy crazy talking about them all week. He's been working really hard this week to change how he's eating so he was actually pretty ok with it. To further entice him I showed him a picture of yours on Instagram. He said, "oh, great is this another thing from _______?" (a rather natural girl on FB). I told him, "No, she's actually a nutritional counselor." He gave a little "Oh". Five minutes later he told me that we're clear to try any more recipes from you. The melty cheeseball picture didn't hurt either. ;)
ReplyDeleteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! That just made my day!!!! Let me know you guys guys like the recipes? I love winning over picky/skeptical husbands and family members haha
ReplyDeletethank you thank you thank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will harass the parentals for details super soon! I think the middle of June? What's your sched looking like that month?
Oh my gosh! WILMINGTON?! I graduated from UNCW last year, and it is by far the best little city ever. If you go back you MUST try: Front street brewery, Fuzzy Peach, Mamma Fu's, Hibachi Bistro, Zoes Kitchen, The Oceanic, Blue Water, and Sweat and Savory...jsut to name a few of their top notch and delicious eat spots!
