WIAW: It's not easy being Green...

Oh, look!  It’s Wednesday again!  How did that happen?  Not that I am complaining because Monday and Tuesday are my worst favorite days of the week… But Wednesday also means it’s time to join the What I Ate Wednesday party hosted by Jenn! so that makes it just a little bit more exciting!  This month’s theme is green food and to be honest, I did HORRIBLE eating green food today… I am sort of discovering that my stomach + vegetables = So I had to kind of make do and stretch things a little.  Sorry?!  Another thing I totally failed at this week was taking pictures of everything I ate.  I got the major meals but there was SO much extra snacking today that I didn’t even bother to try to photograph all the handfuls, etc.  I blame my Unplanned Planned Rest Day yesterday for this snacky-ness.  Why does that always happen?  Rest Day = Starved Day?  Anyways, enough tangent talk… here is my food from yesterday!

Breakfast was so good this morning!  One of my favorite recipes is Edible Perspective’s Buckwheat bakes that I make with a whole banana and egg whites but then instead of baking it in a dish or the microwave, I like them as pancakes!  They are really dense and filling and keep me full as long as anything (read, not super long…) I topped today’s cakes with blueberry jam and Sugar Cookie Nut Butter with GREEN sprinkles!  Ha – my green part of this meal

My morning snack today was two slices of homemade banana bread with almond butter.  Again, very tasty but not green at all.  I guess I should have at least put it in a green container or something?

Lunch was good but not as filling as I initially thought… But it did have some green!

Potatoes, chicken and green peas with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  I was going to have this ginger in water after lunch but ended up having some ginger candies instead.  I am trying to cure my after lunch stomach aches that I get every.single.day at work so ginger is one of my experiments.  So far we are 1/1 for pain free days this week…

Oh look!  A little more green!  This was snack #1 after lunch and was some cooked millet, lettuce, hard boiled eggs, lemon juice and dill.  It was surprisingly delicious but I could have easily eaten 3x this much… so instead I had some rice cakes and a Justin’s packet about an hour later.  All things that I was going to try to avoid for two weeks but oh well.  I was hungry and it was all I had!

Once I finally got home from work, I couldn’t make it until dinner so I had a few little things while dinner was cooking.  I was initially planning fish, spaghetti squash and veg but coconut flour pancakes ended up winning out… fish just sounded HORRIBLE tonight…

Dinner turned out pretty though!  And just a wee bit green!  Coconut flour waffles with coconut and agave on top with green egg omelet on the side!

Since this day was supposed to be a rest day to relax, I had all kinds of ideas of how to spend my time and shows to watch on TV, etc. and yet it’s almost 8pm and I have not done any of that yet… oh well!  Maybe next rest day?

Happy WIAW!

Would you eat green eggs like in the picture above?  They tasted slightly spinach-y but not horrible, considering!
