WIAW, Product Review, and Recipe!

It’s that time of the week again!  Well actually its really the only time that I ever really blog, need to work on that.  Anyways my WIAW is as follows…..

Breakfast:

Pumpkin Granola (Recipe at end of post)

Lunch:

Chicken salad made with greek yogurt along with  lettuce, carrots, and cherry tomatoes thrown into the mix.  

Dinner:

Another veggie burger with baked green beans and ketchup for dipping.

Product Review

The wonderful people at ZonePerfect sent me their new Sweet and Salty Cashew Pretzel bar to try.   I was super excited to give it a  taste, because I have seen so many people always purchase there bars and talk about how much they love them.  My overall review of their new Sweet and Salty Cashew Pretzel is that it is delicious!  It has that salty taste from the cashews but with a hint of sweetness.  Along with its great taste, it also provides 10 grams of protein!

I would definitely consider buying it at the store if I saw it on the shelves!  Thanks ZonePerfect!

Pumpkin Granola Recipe!

Ingredients:

1 cup Rolled Oats

Place mixture on pan and bake for 15-20 mins, turning over after 10 min (or as needed).

I really need something interesting to say

I can never think of things to blog about.  I am always reading others blogs and am always so entertained by their daily yet I can’t think up something creative myself.  Well here is another random eats post.

Trader Joe’s Chicken Sausage, cherry tomatoes, and carrots.

Trader Joe’s Chicken Sausage on bread with ketchup; cooked spinach with garlic.

Blueberry Pancakes eaten on the go. (Recipe from Chocolate Covered Katie)  They were really good, I definitely recommend them!

Veggie stir fry with more Trader Joe’s Chicken Sausage.  I’m a creature of habit with my chicken sausage.

It’s another post!

I am actually very surprised that I have lasted this long to be posting my third post!  Normally when it comes to blogs I will tend to forget about them after the first post and come back a couple months later to only decide to delete it.  I guess I won’t be winning the blogger of the year award anytime soon.  I am officially trying to change that and aim to get that gold star!  Ok, so here is another food post (I don’t really know what else to post).

Oatmeal with a banana mixed in.  Call me old fashioned, but I am really happy with just plain oatmeal and a banana.  I guess I just haven’t hopped onto the extravagant oatmeal bowl yet.   

Post-workout protein shake.  Trutein sample Chocolate Peanut-Butter Cup protein powder with a frozen banana and water blended together.  Tasted like a banana peanut butter chocolate milkshake…  Delicious.

Repeat from a few days ago, but it tasted good so why not?  Baby carrots; baked green beans and asparagus with ketchup for dipping; and Trader Joe’s sun-dried tomato chicken sausage.

Well those were some of the meals that I had today.  Of course I ate more then what I posted but I don’t feel like taking pictures of everything little thing I eat.

Thanks for reading!

Not really sure how to do this thang

Well hopefully I don’t look too weird but here is my first “food” related post.  I don’t really take pictures of what I eat so I don’t have that much to show, but here are some random eats that have entered my mouth the last few days….

Kombucha (Deliciousness in a bottle)

Chocolate Peppermint Stick Luna Bar

Clif Builders Peanut Butter Bar

Trader Joe’s baked tofu (soo good) with cherry tomatoes; baked green beans and asparagus with ketchup for dipping

Trader Joe’s sun-dried tomato chicken sausage; baked green beans and asparagus with ketchup for dipping

Of course there was some oatmeal with bananas and some other random eats thrown into those concoctions but I am still new to this whole blog thang so therefore I am only posting some eats.

Hai All

So I decided to start a food blog because I am always so intrigued with other food blogs.  A little bit about myself; I am 18, currently in college, and I love oatmeal.  If that were the only thing I could eat for the rest of my life I would be very content with life.   Thanks for reading!
