Well, here it is folks! I’m officially jumping on the “What I Ate Wednesday” bandwagon and posting up my eats for a day. If you’re not familiar with WIAW, it’s a day hosted by Jen from Peas and Crayons where bloggers show just exactly what it is they eat throughout a day in their life! I wanted to share what I eat to show that it really is possible to eat things like pizza (as you’ll see below) and everything else you love as part of a balanced, healthy diet! What else do I love about WIAW? It’s a chance for those of us who sometimes get in “food ruts” to get new ideas–after all, fitness requires fuel!
Now, let’s get to it!
Breakfast was one of my faves, my Sweet ‘n Salty Protein Breakfast Bowl:
For lunch, I had my pumpkin pie oatmeal. I followed the recipe on my blog, except I left out the cranberries and nuked it a little longer in the microwave so it had a more cakey consistency (Mmm):
I had a mish-mash of things for a snack later (LOOOVE honey and PB on crackers, topped with raisins, chocolate, marshmallows, etc. Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth the effort it takes to put them together but then I eat them and realize the answer is yes!)…
Followed by some of the granola I made the other day for my hubby and I.
For supper I made some homemade pizza for the two of us! It keeps getting better every time I make it. Total YUM. We like to top ours with plenty of protein (canadian bacon, turkey sausage, and chicken) and lots of veggies (I nuke a stir fry blend in the microwave, then pat off the extra moisture before topping)!
All in all, I’d call that a great day!
Keep in touch, and keep it real!

Yeah that pizza looks taaasty!
Thanks–it’s probably the best pizza I’ve ever tasted! No way I’m going back to takeout
Justine I’m so glad you joined the WIAW party
That pizza has me drooling girl! Your protein breakfast sounds great too, I am loving the different flavors!
Thanks Tessa! The pizza tasted just as good today!
Yay another blog to drool over every wednesday

Lol, yes I can promise there will be no shortage of sweet treats on my blog! They’re what makes my world go round (well my food world)!!
OMG that pizza loks amazing!!!!
It was! I had to restrain myself from polishing it off for breakfast yesterday morning so I could save some of the leftovers for the hubby
LOL I would’ve lovd a piece for breakfast!!
everything looks delicious!
Thank you! It was a good day lol!

Aww, thank you so much–you are such a dear! This sounds really fun
Just stopped in through SITS…that pizza looks gorgeous…all those veggies! Yum!
Thanks Leslie! My husband actually said to me, “I can’t believe I’m eating a pizza with this many veggies”–but we both loved it!
Now THAT is a pizza.
YUM!!
Lol I definitely had to use both hands to put it in the oven so I wouldn’t drop it!
You are waaay too cute! I can’t believe you made all of that in a day!! That’s very impressive! If I even had enough time to make one meal, I’d consider my day to be quite accomplished! hahaha.. Great job!
Lol thank you! I’ve been trying to cook more. When I was busy with school and my internship and job teaching, my hubby and I usually just grabbed food that we could nuke in the microwave. I’ve made it a goal to cook more now that I’ve graduated!
Mmmm I love pretzels in cereal for a sweet and salty snack!
Well, between that and your love of cinnamon, I’d say you have great taste!
I cannot wait to try and make that pumpkin oatmeal myself. Sounds delish!
Please do–you will love it!
Yum! I love your mishmash of snacks, it all looks so delicious!
Thank you! Although today I am officially out of crackers so I’m going to have to figure something else out lol! I think I saw some graham crackers in there…
haha I love that you eat pb on crackers like that too! I have a horrible habit of eating pb and m&ms on crackers like crazy, its such a good combo! That homemade pizza looks killer too, want to cook for my house too..??
Lol heck yeah! I don’t know if my hubby will ever love my healthy concoctions the way I do, but the pizza was a good compromise!
