Is it seriously Wednesday already? I feel like it was just a few days ago I was typing up my last WIAW post. I’m attempting to watch my Wednesday night line up while typing this, so it might not make much sense — The Middle is too good to pass up!
I don’t know about you guys, but I have been SO hungry this week. Like, scrounging through my desk after lunch and wishing for about five afternoon snacks instead of one. I’ve been running more than I have in the last oooh 10 months, so maybe that has something to do with it! I need to start learning to pack more food. I forgot how hungry running can make you!
And I am pretty sure I’m going to turn into a piece of chocolate — OBSESSED with anything chocolatey right now.
Breakfast
1/2 cup oats
1/2 banana
1 tbsp. chia seeds
1-1/2 cup liquid
1/4 cup egg whites
1 tbsp. chocolate sun warrior
1 tbsp. cocoa powder
peanut butter
coffee with coconut french vanilla creamer
lunch
loaded cabbage soup
udi’s gf roll with earth balance
black bean salsa
snack
almonds
kind bar
On the way home, I kind of had a ridiculous road rage experience. It was raining outside and I think people thought it was like blizzarding outside. It took me over an hour when it should have taken me 20 minutes from where I was at. Ugh. Seriously.
dinner
1 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 cup kidney beans
1/2 avocado
sautéed kale
2 tbsp. garlic hummus
nutritional yeast
snack
tbd
Enjoy your night! I’m spending mine not moving from the couch except to get more food. It’s a beautiful life.

Irritating drivers are the worst! I hope you have a relaxing evening
I did! Thanks!
-I said the same thing this morning, that I couldn’t believe it was Wednesday already!
-I’ve never tried a Kind bar but I don’t know how I wouldn’t like a bar that’s ‘dark chocolate cherry cashew’-yum!
Um it’s seriously the best. I always want more than one!!!
I had public transportation rage today on the “L” on my way home. I LOVE that I can take public transportation but about every 6-8 weeks everyone else on the “L” seems to partner together to be incredibly STUPID! People should learn how to control umbrellas!
hahaha! Yes, yes they should!!
Living in Oregon it is absolutely INSANE how people freak out when it rains. Every time it’s like it’s the very first time it’s ever happened. “What is this water substance coming forth from the sky? Is this the end of the world? I should go 10mph in a 55 because I am so confused!!!”
My sentiments exactly.
Adding a fruit to lunch or snack might help with the hunger — carbs + fibre = satisfied belly!!
I’m all about the chocolate right now, and candy corn, and I’m also feeling hungrier than usual. Oh, and after running practice tonight, I’m not moving except for more eats either! So essentially, I’m in agreement all around!
Yeeeah that would have been helpful!
And my lunch didn’t have too much protein!
Seriously, I’m with you on the chocolate thing. I’ve gotten into the habit of eating a square (or 4) after lunch every day. I was never into it this much before though. Must mean I’m getting older.
haha! I’ve been eating m&m’s every day after lunch. bad habit!!!
Love your recipes. Can you explain nutrional yeast- what are its benefits? Do you try to have it daily?
Here’s some info on it:

haha, i saw your tweet and was wondering what was going on!! enjoy your evening on the couch and not in the car.
Thanks - I did!
Love your monkey mug! Pier 1?
I’m in the same boat as you. Chocolate cravings all day! Need to be strong:)
How are you liking the coconut french vanilla creamer?
Heck yes, Pier 1!!
I got it a few years ago - I love my little monkey!
And I’m really liking the french vanilla creamer! It’s yummy!
Yummy oat combination, they look lovely and creamy. Such a big fan of adding in Sunwarrior!
You and me both! I realized I still had a half of a bag that expires at the end of the month. Gotta use it up!
I agree with you, running makes me ravenous! Yummy looking eats!
Ugh I had a similar driving experience yesterday! The traffic in my city is horrendous at rush hour, so it took me like 30 minutes to get somewhere that usually takes me 10. Good thing I left early otherwise I would have been late!
Also I’m loving your dinner. Rice + beans + greens + hummus is one of my favourite lazy meals to make!
I loved the combo you posted with the egg/hummus/avocado - yum! I love it when the avocado gets melty!
Our Wednesday evenings don’t sound too far off from each other. I <3 that
Doesn’t surprise me in the least.
Peanut butter is back in your life! Yay!
It is! A couple weeks ago I had a HUGE peanut butter craving!!
omg I hate when that happens… Fridays are usually the worst commute home for me, seems like every Jersey person gets out of work early lol (I live in NY lol)
I hate getting stuck in traffic and it’s 5 million times worse if I’m hungry.
I love The Middle, it’s hilarious!
Agree x 1000000000!
that KIND bar flavor is my FAVORITE. It is the most delicious bar ever.
MINE too!!!!
Where the heck do you buy that creamer?! I need some…
I got mine at Whole Foods! The big container of it was only $3!
