What I Ate Wednesday
| September 4, 2012 | Posted by Carrie under food |
I almost forgot that today is Wednesday. With the holiday and a wacky day yesterday (more on that below) and the fact that my kids don’t start school until tomorrow, I’m hard pressed to know the day of the week.
Today, I’m blogging from my phone. Yesterday, my computer died. The blue screen of death. Awful.
I knew something was up. I started to back things up and then it went belly up in the middle. I spent way too much time and money and I’m still not sure if the data can be recovered. Fingers crossed. I do have some things backed up, but it’s been a while and I will lose pictures and files.
But, I do have some yummy eats from the week to share for What I Ate Wednesday.
Yesterday, I roasted some beets and then made this creation. Sautéed kale and peppers with some quinoa and topped with a huge roasted beet. I added a little Italian dressing and it was one of the most flavorful lunches I’d had in a long time.
My CSA delivery from yesterday was so pretty and colorful, it needed a picture.
And another creation of a salad sprinkled with some quinoa (can you tell I have a batch cooked and ready in my fridge?) and a veggie patty on top.
Post race pancakes from Monday. I made the yummy almond butter pancakes with oats and added in a mushy banana from my freezer. That took care of the dryness of the last batch of pancakes, but then the almond butter flavor got a little lost. Still awesome.
Speaking of pancakes – did you see the spread in Runner’s World? Drooling here! And, on the page listing favorite pancake chains was our local favorite – The Original Pancake House. I pass that place on my running route to the beach and dream of pancakes.
I am a major pancake lover and am totally craving some after that amazing pic in Runner’s world
Your CSA share looks lovely! I host a weekly CSA link party and would love for you to be a part of it. Come check it out and add your link. http://inherchucks.com/2012/08/30/whats-in-the-box-41/. Looking forward to seeing you there!
How fun to link up about CSA boxes. I get mine every other week, so I will definitely be there. Thanks!
Oh no, Carrie! So sorry to hear about the computer crash… mine is nearing the end too and I should probably brace myself for it and be prepared so it doesn’t completely stress me out!
Your beets-quinoa-greens lunch is calling my name, that looks incredible!

It sucked since I knew it was acting up and just didn’t get to finish the backup. I’m still in denial that it’ll all be okay. I haven’t heard back from the data recovery people yet.
That salad w/ the beets looks amazing!! Yum!! I have so little creativity when it comes to lunch. I need to have more yummy things on hand so I’m not eating PB sandwiches all the time!

Ha! PB&J is totally my go to as well.
Computers are pesky critters at times. At times i just want to smear almond butter all over mine and eat it. But then I’ve been taught by fellow bloggers that i cannot eat my problems away. So now I have to find something else to smear almond butter on, hmmm…

I wanted to toss honey on the sucker and let the bees devour it… but only AFTER I backed up my data.
First of all, so impressive you blogged from your phone! I seriously cannot do that! I’m glad I found your blog today from seeing your comment on mine. I don’t think I’ve been to this space before, love! Oh wow, I have not read that issue of RW yet and now I’m dying too!

Hi Ericka – your comment did go through – but it got hung up in my spam folder. Thanks for visiting – I hope you’ve found the pancake article by now. Made me hungry too.
loved the pancake story in RW. Nashville’s Pancake Pantry was featured in there and I just had to get my fill in yesterday – they are so yummy
