I’m going to call this day of food “the day I ate all this delicious food but really all I wanted was a glass of wine”. A large glass, preferably white with a sweet fruity flavor. That, or better yet – some sangria. Oh that would have been good.
But I’m here to tell you I never got that glass of wine. Not in the least bit. Mainly because I was too tired to get my butt off the couch after dinner to pour a glass.
What I did do, however, is eat a lot of good food. Seriously, every meal just got better and better. I love days like that!
Breakfast – 5:45 AM
The usual pumpkin overnight oats that I have been sporting for the last month or so. Have I mentioned how much I hate taking pictures when the light is horrible?
Lunch – 11:25 AM
I know I said a few weeks ago that I ate the salad of my dreams, but this one really took the cake. In the mix:
- organic spring mix
- roasted brussels sprouts
- roasted diced potatoes
- tomatoes
- red peppers
- onion
- celery
- roasted tofu
- nutritional yeast
- balsamic
- hummus
Followed up by some Crunchmaster crackers and 3/4 of an apple (the leftover part of this morning!).
Snack – 3:30 pm
I stayed at school a little later than usual yesterday, so by the end of today I was more than ready to hightail it out of there! On my way home I munched on some raisins and almonds.
Dinner – 6:15 PM
And then there was dinner…
I don’t want to spoil any surprises, but let’s just say this was incredible. Feel free to guess as to what it is – we’ll see if you get it right!
Snack – 8:30 PM
Protein muffin & greek yogurt
no picture.
bad blogger.
Finish this statement: “Yesterday all I wanted was….”

Yesterday, all I wanted was a nap! (not food related but true)
The last pasta dish looks tempting, creamy, and delicious. My guess: something divine!
Yummy eats!
Your dinner looks delish!
Yesterday all I wanted was a HUGE bowl of ice cream
I could have gone for that as well!
Hmmm, is that butternut squash mac and cheese? I’ve been dying to make that recipe for weeks now. I just need to get on it.
Ohh that dinz looks fab- mac & cheese, perhaps? Yesterday all I wanted was a big bowl of cereal with yogurt…and whaddya know, my wish was errr…my command! Craving sorted!
!
…chocolate!! But that’s pretty much the truth every day!
Oh girl, I eat chocolate EVERY day!
I hate taking pictures in bad lighting, too…not looking forward to winter when there is less daylight and frigid temps!
Yesterday all I wanted was a nap…haha
I could have taken a nap too!
I’m going to say it’s pumpkin mac & cheez!!!!
All I wanted was ……PUMPKIN!
Hence the pumpkin world post ; )
Yesterday all I wanted was…for my professors to say “No exam today! You all get an A!” Too bad that didn’t happen.
I bet that’s what all of my kids are hoping for this afternoon when I give them a test!!
IS IS MAC N CHEEZE?!
Yesterday all I wanted was…chocolate
Whatever that dinner is, it looks amazing! It looks like some sort of white cheese/cream sauce with brown rice noodles? Can’t wait for the recipe!!!
yesterday all I wanted was dark chocolate. So, I decided to bring a whole bag of dark chocolate chips to school with me. This is not wise. I mindlessly ate them during my prep..and then felt sick.
That sounds like me - once I start, I can’t stop!!
I wanted a milkshake so bad yesterday! All my classes had the heat on and it was extra hot!
Whatever that pasta is, it looks good!
Yesterday all I wanted was sushi. It’s been probably 3 weeks since I last had it and I’m going through withdrawal symptoms!
yesterday, all I wanted was A NAP. Poor sleep and a 7 mile run really did me in! And that dinner looks like some sort of macaroni and cheese???
Yuck - I hate when I can’t sleep well. It honestly ruins the entire day!
Mmm sangria.
That pasta dish looks awesome, no clue what it is but I can’t wait to find out! The salad looks amazing too. I’ve been meaning to roast some veggies for my salads for a while! I think today is the day.
Do you use Smoothie Girl’s protein muffin recipe?? Haven’t made one yet.
A big bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch! I’m very serious when I say I thought about it ALL day long, but never gave in. Yay me.
Yesterday, all I wanted was Salad!! I really missed my salads while I was away last month. I’m catching up now!
to be at home, not at my internship. But that is basically everyday at my internship. I am so positive, right?
yesterday, all I wanted was the looks of THAT PASTA. seriously. I was craving some creamy pasta like nobody’s biz. now, if you just share the receta… I’d be a happy camper.
tomorrow, I promise!
All I wanted yesterday was…a massage! I was feeling so tight and sore all day and all I wanted to do was leave work and get all the kinks worked out!
How about today all I wanted was that pasta you had for dinner! That looks amazing. I assume the recipe is coming?
tomorrow!
All I wanted was a Milky Way. Girl, that pasta looks so good…can’t wait to read more!! LOVE YOU!
Yesterday all I wanted was to spend more time with my newborn nephew!! I cannot wait to go and see him again after work! Such a cute little peanut!!
Aw yay!! What did they name him?
All of your eats look amazing. Especially that last meal. Gimmeeee.
Yesterday, all I wanted was sea salt popcorn. And I got it.
Every Wednesday I mean to do WIAW but I always forget. Fail!
Oh, and congrats on this!!!! http://tinyurl.com/27k9kv4 (I didn’t want to say what it was just in case you had not found out for yourself yet!)
some sort of mac n cheese?? looks AMAZING!!!..
butternut squash mac and cheez! or hummus mac.
btw, random fact: the apples here in Scotland are SO TINY! it makes me miss the apples back home!
I hate a tiny apple! That would be reason enough to move to the States.
totally! apples have always been my favorite fruit. (though bananas are now neck and neck with them!) thank goodness i’ll be reunited with them again in december
with all this wine chatter, now I want a glass of wine!
Ice cream! I was craving it so bad.
Yesterday all I wanted was an extra hour. Or two. Or three. In the daytime, or in bed!
And I am guessing that that is some kind of delicious creamy vegan brown rice pasta concoction…that was real specific
.
You just used technical terms - no biggie.
Yesterday, all I wanted was some quiet alone time. Instead, I got an earful as soon as I got in the car after a staff meeting at school. Come on, people!
By the way, can’t wait to see what surprise you have in store. Dinner looked delicious!
We enjoy quiet time in the evenings at home after dinner. We each kind of have some alone time for a while - it helps us as a married couple!
Ummm I want that creamy pasta now! Yesterday all I wanted was to sit and read but that never happened
I did however eat a ton of delicious food so all in all it was a wonderful day.
How did the soup turn out?
A nap!!
I had the busiest day yesterday and all day long I just wanted to go back to bed. It didn’t happen. But…I slept reallly well last night.
Happy Wednesday and congrats on the foodbuzz nomination! I am SO proud of you!!
I hate the photo lighting early morning/late afternoon!
Yesterday all I wanted was…to go home!
How do you make your protein muffins?
… a big hunkin’ fudgy brownie! Last night I was getting so frustrated with my laptop, things were taking twice as long as they were supposed to, and I had a huge basket of laundry to fold that was just sitting there getting wrinkled while I tried to finish my work on the stupid laptop. Needless to say, all I wanted was a big delicious brownie. Never got it, but I still wanted it.
P.S. Saw you were nominated on FoodBuzz!! Congrats - I voted for ya!!
I´d say it looks a bit like mac and cheese?
haha, those almonds and raisins… never gets boring
Dinner tease!
It looks good so I hope the recipe is coming soon! All I wanted to eat yesterday was cookies and chocolate.
I love your overnight oats method! Yesterday all I wanted was a Kombucha. Never got it.
That’s sad news. I love Kombucha!
All I wanted was popcorn and wine-and I got it!!!
Yesterday all I wanted to do was stay home from school (I am also a teacher), bake carrot muffins for my husband, and start reading Sarah’s Key.
Yesterday, all I wanted was to be home to relax. Tuesday is always the busiest/longest day of the week for me.
That supper looks sooo good! Some sort of mac & cheese…?
Yesterday all I wanted was dried apricots and shelled sunflower seeds (my versions of your almonds and raisins)!
Your dinner looks delicious! I can’t wait to see hear what’s in it.
All I wanted yesterday was a giiiaaant salad. I was craving my greens. Thankfully, after my crazy day I was able to pick up a Wild Rice & Tofu salad from a cafe up the street from me. Hit the spot!
Looks like you are loving roasted veggies for fall! Me too!
Yesterday, all I wanted was a peppermint white chocolate mocha while sitting at my desk in my freezing office!
