Happy What I Ate Wednesday! <3
[morning bevvys] hot lemon water + black coffee [breakfast] peanut butter on whole grain toast with chia seeds + a banana [snack] love grown apple walnut granola and greek yogurt [lunch] mexican pizza lasagna remix [snack] zucchini rounds with belle chevre honey goat cheese and jalapenos [dinner] I took the leftover filling from the mexican pizza and made lentil veggie tacos - yum!
and, as part of our Sensible Snacking theme for the month,
here are a few of my favorite snacks from the week:
[zucchini rounds with honey goat cheese and red jalapenos]
[zucchini rounds, cucumber slices, and pita wedges with roasted red pepper hummus]
[quinoa rice crackers with goat cheese and jalapenos]
Recently I've rekindled my challenge to sneak as many extra veggies into my day as possible. Snack time is PERFECT for a little extra veg action. If you have a favorite veggie snack - let me know what it is in the comment section or in your post! I'm sure we could all use a few new ideas!
So yes -- snack sensibly! But sometimes...
feel free to treat. yo. self.
Thin Mint Cookie Froyo!!!!!! Well, technically it was a trio of thin mint, tahitian vanilla, and strawberry shortcake frozen yogurt topped with pure trash candy and cookie crumbles -- I haven't had frozen yogurt in months and honored my cravings to the fullest. Worth it!
Enough of my shenanigans, let's see what you guys are up to! <3
Along with a post full of your daily eats, tell us about your snack attacks and how you practice sensible snacking. Feel free to tell us all about your favorite snacks, make some snacking goals for yourself, come up with a new spin on an old favorite, and even tell us how you sneak extra fruits and veggies into your snacking routine.
lentil veggie tacos are my JAM! love all your healthy snacks!
ReplyDeleteI currently have SUCh a thing for goat cheese. Seriously such a good idea to put them on crackers and veg like that.
ReplyDeleteI'm also loving your calender- so jam packed!
Love your healthy snack ideas! What a coincidence that I bought goat cheese just yesterday :) will definitely use a bit of it on crackers and cucumber. Yum!
ReplyDeleteMmmm - gimme some of that Mexi-pizza-sagna-mix. Mmmm
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great, I like the cucumber/goat cheese snacks. Never thought of that. Excellent idea. Happy WIAW!!
ReplyDeleteLove Grown Apple Walnut? Roasted Red Pepper Hummus? Two of my favorite things...
ReplyDeleteYuuum! Come make me snacks, Jenn! :) those all look so great. The cukes and goat cheese were calling to me though...
ReplyDeletedoes eating a whole tub of hummus count as sensible? tee hee
ReplyDeleteI like the cucumber bites and frozen yogurt is the best!
ReplyDeletei want that froyooooooo. yum!
ReplyDeleteTis the season for fro yo!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to my next trip to the Forever Yogurt down the street from me... it's my special occasion spot for the summer. :)
You always eat so well. I always read your blog after I write my own, so I never write what you ask. I have a bad snacking protocol. I eat something good so that I can eat something bad. I guess I'm all about balance!?
ReplyDeleteI ate an ENTIRE bag of mini bell peppers while reading. an ENTIRE BAG. Also? Jalapenos belong on every damn thing.
ReplyDeleteI love goat cheese! Those snacks look amazing! I just bought 2 logs at Costco :) looks like I found a new snack.
ReplyDeleteI suddenly have a huge craving for your zucchini rounds! They look SO yummy!
ReplyDeleteYour zucchini rounds came just at the right time! We just got like, 3 huge zucchini from the CSA and I didn't know what to do with them. Now I do!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh so many lovely WIAW-posts... so little time... I love to read as many as I can though!
ReplyDeleteWhat are does capsules you're taking? :) just curious :)
Love, Leanne
I had the Thin Mint Frozen Yogurt a few months ago while visiting a friend and it was SOO good! I love all things minty especially thin mint cookies so Thin Mint frozen yogurt is so amazing.
ReplyDeleteb-complex, organic hippie whole food vitamins, and a vitamin d softgel! =) its going to take me all week to read these WIAW posts but I cannot wait!
ReplyDeleteYayyy do it! Zucchini rounds are amazing with everything! Very fresh and mild and healthy! =)
ReplyDeletehaha come on over i'll slice one up with some dip! =) xoxo
ReplyDeleteah-greed
ReplyDeleteabso-frickin-luely!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the idea of small bites for snacks. I am forever coming across adorable and delicious hors d'oeuvres recipes that I never get to make because, well, I'm 26 and don't have friends that appreciate the wonder of a home dinner party with champagne and hors d'oeuvres ;).
ReplyDeleteBut all I need to do is make a small batch for a snack! Can't believe I didn't think of it before! There's a goat cheese and veg crostini recipe I really want to make. Anything with goat cheese + cucumber combined is marvellous in my mind :).
Yes please!! See you soon! ;)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so good! I must admit my potable veggie snacks are pretty boring: carrots and baby bell peppers with hummus. But hey, it works.
ReplyDeleteLove your snacks and your meals, fab as usual. I am having problems linking to your post. When I go to link a box pops up saying it is not a direct link to my post? Has anyone else reported this problem to you?
ReplyDeleteHaha silly! Copy and paste the link to your post vs the link to your homepage and it'll work! I make that mistake all the time! <3 LMK if that doesn't work for some reason?
ReplyDeleteNot boring at all! DELISH even =)
ReplyDeleteHell yeah - I love getting down on some fro yo =) Good thing an Orange Leaf just got put in less than a mile from our house!
ReplyDeleteJust made my post ever WIAW post - I had so much fun doing it, never realised taking pictures of my food could be so satisfying! Loving looking through everyone else's too. Thanks for hosting this :)
ReplyDeleteThat all looks so yummy!
ReplyDeleteMmmm love the looks of those goat cheese jalapeno bites! This is a really great WIAW idea Jenn! I like that it's geared towards self control yet at the same time, enjoying snacks throughout the day. :)
ReplyDeleteYou put my food pictures to shame! How cute is the sliced lemon next to the coffee cup! Looks like you were liking it spicy with your snacks this week with all of those jalapenos. Great ideas here girl, like ALWAYS!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try the honey goat cheese now--it sounds so good! I also had pb on whole wheat toast this morning, except without the chia seeds. Your dinner and lunch also look awesome!! Great WIAW as always. *sigh* I'm a little obsessed with WIAW.

ReplyDeleteAre those jalapeños grown by you?
ReplyDelete"treat.yo.self" Love it!
haha yup! green and reds -- though I eat them faster than they can grow so I think I need a second and third plant at this rate. They're my FAVORITE!
ReplyDeleteI like all those zuke round snacks you've got going on. I like using cucumber rounds instead of crackers and putting slices of cheese on them. Also... and this maybe weird... dipping carrots in marinara sauce. MMM...
ReplyDeleteThe zucchini rounds look fantastic. So simple & elegant looking you could totally serve to party guests! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha that sounds awesome actually! I'll have to try it with the carrots I bought today =)
ReplyDeleteawww thanks Lee!
ReplyDeleteEverything you ate looks great but those tacos did me in.
ReplyDeleteI really MUST get a mug that says 'chocolate.' and for me, froyo's a regular ! oopsss ;)
ReplyDeleteDang....I got distracted yesterday and totally forgot to post my WIAW. Geez...I've had quite the month...last night my husband threw away my retainers (on accident) - i tell ya....not my month!
