a traveling Wife: Get in my Belly







Get in my Belly

Wednesday, May 20, 2015

It's finally Wednesday but this week is dragging. Perhaps it's because I am still bitter with some work stuff from last week or because I am ready for this long weekend - but is it Friday yet?

Now is the time where I say, "Who is ready for #WIAW?", because I have nothing else to say. For those of you that are newer here, What I ate Wednesday for me is actually What I am eating this Week. At the beginning of the week when I grocery shop I plan for 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 3 dinners. We rotate all of the meals throughout the week so we are not eating the same thing every day. Of course, this does happen sometimes when a delicious meal is made!

Also, I should note that I don't stage these meals. These are all foods I actually eat day in and out. I try to remain conscious about my food choices, but sometimes I fail - like this day I ate an entire box of mac 'n cheese. It happens! So join in the fun and linkup here.


Breakfast - I am a creature of habit and have been eating cereal most mornings for the past few weeks. How do I break myself? Do you have any breakfast items that are a go to for you?


Snack 1 - Again, creature of habit! Chobani flips are just the best thing ever. Whenever I am craving Nutella, I just eat these. AND I crave Nutella all. the. time.


Lunch - Hey oh, something new. This broccoli soup is so easy you could make it with your eyes closed. Top it with some oyster crackers and it is amazing. Then I tried to make this new peanut ginger salad dressing because I am missing my favorite salad from Indy. I need to find some place around here that might have a similar dressing. Anyway, it was pretty tasty but I need to make a few tweaks. For some reason I wanted to type twerks - not cool!


Snack 2 -  Who doesn't love chips and salsa? I could eat this for all meals throughout the day. I mean, it would satisfy my intake of veggies, grains, and I could stretch it to include my fruits too. Besides that, I am trying out several salsas to find one I like. Why do most of them include sugar? So not needed. Chicos Pico is my favorite all time salsa, but you can't buy it around my neck of the woods.



Dinner - I recently purchased all. the. curry from Penzeys and I don't know what to do with it. I looked up a Butter Chicken recipe and it's AMAZING. Look at all the spices I purchased. I posted this on Instagram and now I need your help with some more recipes. Help a girl out!


Dessert - Because dessert is the most important meal of the day... I know you thought it was breakfast, but you are wrong! Strawberry cobbler, or any cobbler, have been a basic week after week. We top our berries with almond flour, cinnamon, and a little butter to brown it up. Get in my belly!

What are you eating this week? Any go to recipes you could recommend?

  3. Your eats look tasty! You saying you ate a box of mac and cheese has me seriously craving some Kraft dinner, may have to make hubby bring me back some when he goes to the US next month! For breakfast I finally realized two weeks ago if I have cereal (even if it is good for me) I find myself more lazy and unproductive so I try to stick with egg whites (or Egg mugs where you cook the egg in a mug int he microwave) and lots of veggies with a slice of homemade toast.

    1. I totally regretted the mac 'n cheese! Also, I am trying to venture out with my breakfast. I need to be careful with eggs as I have a slight intolerance to them. I don't want to wind up on the couch with a stomach ache.

  4. My go-to breakfast is Greek yogurt with high fiber cereal. I literally eat it everyday and I'm not stopping anytime soon! I really like the fresh salsa from Trader Joe's and I don't think it has much if any added sugar.

  5. Ahh, I forgot you had a blog! We like enough of each other's stuff on Instagram- thank you for stopping by mine so now I remember you have one too!
    Mmm, your meals look yummy! How do you make that can-make-with-your-eyes-closed-soup? I want some!
    One of my go-to breakfasts is an Ezekiel English muffin with PB!

    1. Ha - I don't rely on Bloglovin or any other reader to get other people's updated blog post. If people didn't share via social media, I would never know they posted!!

      I'll email you the recipe. You're mind will be blown!

  6. Broccoli soup is one of my favorites. I just cut a bunch from the garden and can't wait to use it when I get home.
