What I Ate Wednesday is a weekly peek into what I’m eating throughout the day. These are the meals and snacks that I had on Tuesday. Follow along and comment with what you ate!

My usual morning cup of coffee w/ a little stevia and french vanilla.

I didn’t have a lot of time this morning since I was getting my oldest ready for soccer camp and then I knew we were going to Panera for breakfast so I made a quicker smoothie since I knew I wanted to gets some “greens” in before Panera.

So this was Kale, Pineapple and Banana.

 

At Panera I had a soy mocha and a spinach and bacon souffle.

 

For lunch today I had a spinach salad with sweet potato chunks, broccoli, onions, avocado, and pineapple.  Also had some gazpacho that I made on Monday. It was really good, this was my first time making it.

A friend sent me the Gazpacho recipe that she got from simplyrecipes.com. Here it is below.

Gazpacho Recipe

  • Prep time: 15 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 purple onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, chopped
  • 1 sweet red bell pepper (or green) seeded and chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1-2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
  • 6 or more drops of Tabasco sauce to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (omit for vegetarian option)
  • 4 cups tomato juice

METHOD

Yield: Serves 8.

During the afternoon I had 2 more cups of green tea (not pictured) and about half of this bottle of Passionberry Bliss Kombucha,

 

Then for dinner I had something planned to cook but I misread the instructions and I wasn’t going to have enough time to make it so we ended up with Carrabba’s takeout.  I ordered the Tag Pic Pac with Shrimp which is one of my favorite dishes because it is a little lighter.  The sauce is just olive oil, tomatoes, and garlic, I also got it with Whole Grain Spaghetti.  With the pasta I got some Minestrone soup.

 

and that concludes WIAW!
