Hello Lovelies!
It’s What I Ate Wednesday Tuesday again! Be sure to visit peasandcrayons.com to check out other WIAW posts…..and read some EXTREMELY exciting news! {So happy for you Jenn!}
An oldie, but a goodie! It’s been awhile since I had my Paleo Pumpkin Scramble. I had some leftover roasted butternut squash that I roasted up on food prep Sunday, so I used a 1/2 cup of mashed up butternut squash in place of the pumpkin. It was delish topped with Snickerdoodle Cashew Butter and blueberries! Also, between the hours of 5:00 and 7:00, I was sure to down two large cups of donut house coffee…that’s the way to start the day!
10:00- Snack
A long meeting delayed my banana snack. I brought the other half of the banana that I used in the Scramble. Just a little something to tide me over until lunch!
11:45- Lunch
Lunch was a quite a beast of a salad, if I do say so! In the bowl went mixed greens, TJ’s mixed medley cherry tomatoes, broccoli, rotiserrie chicken, butternut squash, TJ’s lentils and topped with one of my favorite dressings {Cilantro Dressing from Trader Joe’s- in the produce section}. I have been loving the lentils to top my salads, lately. They are already cooked and ready to go. You can find them in the produce section, near the hummus and dips.
3:30- Snack
After school, Madelyn had horse lessons and I ate this organic apple on the way to lessons. No nutbutter….aren’t you proud of me?
6:00- Dinner
As always, Tuesday is gymnastics night. Landen practices from 6-8….sometimes I bring food from home and sometimes we pick something up. The last few weeks, I’ve been really good about bringing food from home, but decided to make things super easy tonight and pick something up….. plus I really had a craving for Which Which! I had a black bean patty on wheat bread with spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, olives, and feta. On the side, two cuties, of course.
9:15- Dessert
I had a little dessert of TJ’s fat-free frozen Greek yogurt topped with Chia Seed Peanut Butter Oat Cookie crumbles. Perfect way to end the evening!
Something to think about…..
How many snacks do you eat a day? During the week, I pretty much always have two snacks because I have breakfast so early. On the weekends, I sometimes only have one, but usually make up for the other snack with a dessert. I tend to splurge more on the weekends. What about you?
What was one of your delicious eats from yesterday or today?
Do you end your evening with a little before bed dessert? I don’t always, but with cookies in the house you can pretty much bet I’m having dessert!

That pumpkin scramble looks delicious as does those cookies. I’ve just started using Chia seeds in everything possible. Not sure I could make a batch a cookies and be disciplined not to eat the whole batch but definitely want to give those a go.
I tend to snack more during the week than weekends, I think when I’m at work it helps to break up my day. I prefer smaller snacks for morning and afternoon tea so I can still have a healthy dessert
Jan @ J Cooks Healthy What I ate Wednesday
Love monster salads like yours. I find that those type of salads always fill me up better than say eggs or a sandwich. Is it just me?? lol.
I’m not sure if you consider my meal #2 & #4 snacks, but that’s what I consider my snacks. and of course I always have a dessert before bed… doesn’t even matter if I’m hung or not
Jessie What I Ate Wednesday :: Actual Wednesday
That salad looks great! I love piling a ton of toppings onto my salads
Nicole @ Fruit ‘N’ Fitness WIAW # 7
Bananas make for the best mid-morning snack! I really need to get to Which Wich now that I have moved to a city that has one. I love that they have vegetarian options, and that sandwich looks awfully tasty!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl “Bacon” and Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
I usually do two snacks a day too! I would so much rather eat smaller meals with snacks throughout the day than 3 square meals! Keeps me going for longer this way! Everything looks great especially that paleo scramble. I can’t believe I have yet to try one!
Danielle @ clean food creative fitness What I Ate Wednesday
I agree and you need to try the scramble….I think you’d really like it!
OH MY GOSH, your breakfast looks amazing!
Thanks, Sabrina!
I am the same, I normally have two snacks, unless I have to postpone a meal due to a work out then I might squeeze in 3! I always like something sweet to finish my dinner, sometimes it’s just mint tea, sometimes it’s cake like this WIAW! Your breakfast looks amazing, I’m pinning it now!
I’m the same way. Hope you like the breakfast!
Still need to make your snickerdoodle cashew butter– scared I will eat the it all in one sitting!
Laura@ Fit Running Mama WIAW & Two Moms In the Raw Giveaway
Yes….that can be very tempting!
I love that dressing from TJ’s!
Liz @ iheartvegetables Tone It Up- Round 2
Yum everything look delish!
Thanks, Maria!
That scramble looks delicious! And just the sound of the snickerdoodle butter…
During the week I have 1 or 2 snacks a day. During the weekends though I just tend to graze because I’m home, with a kitchen, and thus have access to way more food!
Eating 4 Balance What I Ate During my Last Week in Veggieville
I’m a grazer over the weekend too!
I love snacks and have 1 – 2 per day. Works for me.
I have to try that Cilantro dressing from TJ’s . . . I used to buy one that was pear and gorgonzola . . . it was delicious!!
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance Practice Makes Perfect: Pan-Seared Scallops
I’ve thought about buy that one too. I’m getting it next time I’m at TJ’s!
I mostly have a snack in the morning but I can be without a midafternoon snack. Weekends are different, sometimes only 2 meals since I try to sleep in
Your breakfast looks so good!! And yes, if cookies are around, I am always having a late night dessert!
Lucie WIAW #10 – What I ate Wednesday – Wrapdiction
Cookies are just too hard to resist!
Oh yum your eats look delicious as always; that pumpkin scramble looks amazing and topped with that snickerdoodle cashew butter…wow!
helps to tide me over in between meals.
I normally have around 2 snacks a day as well

I’ve been seeing that cilantro salad dressing on a few different blogs- it’s on my “must pick up during my next trip to TJ’s” list (which is getting pretty long considering the closest TJ’s to me is 4 hours away!) Can’t wait to try it out
I’m actually a pretty big serial snacker. I never do less than 3, and sometimes I’ll actually just snack the day away and end up eating around 10 of them instead of any legitimate meals. It’s a habit that I’ve kind of been trying to get away from, but at the same time it’s how I’ve been for as long as I can remember so I guess I’ll just go with the flow.

I also tend to have 2 snacks a day during the week—one of them is usually dessert, even if it’s something healthy. Lately, I’m loving sliced banana with either peanut butter or non-fat ricotta.
Jess What I Ate Wednesday #99
I’ve never tried banana and ricotta….I’ll have to give that a try.
Yum, your breakfast looks amazing and so colorful, and I that sandwich sounds super tasty! Now I’m hungry.
Olivia @ Liv Lives Life On the Horizon
Haha…thanks Liv!
Love Paleo scrambles! I made one with sweet potatoes the other day instead of bananas or pumpkin and it was delicious! The cookies sound great! I just stocked up on Chia seeds too
Giselle@myhealthyhappyhome Check out http://myhealthyhappyhome.com/
I love sweet potatoes so I definitely need to give that a try!
Stopping by from peas and crayons! I am going to attempt to make your Snickerdoodle Cashew Butter!! Your breakfast looks delish!
A Foodies Recipe Box WIAW #4
You will love it! Let me know how it turns out.
I’m seen Which Wich in my area and never stopped in. You have convinced me to try it out. I’m not to bad of a snacker, but with the Girl Scout cookies in my kitchen, I have been bad!
Sonja @ The {Happy} Travel Bug Cruising for Food
Girl Scout cookies are definitely hard to resist!
oh I have dressing on my TJ list, I’ll have to look for that!
jessiebearwhat WIAW: Back to Normal
I love Tropical Traditions coconut oil! It would be a little easier to get if it was in stores
I know!
I have usually a morning snack and an afternoon snack. Sometimes a small one after dinner if I get hungry, but sometimes not. It also depends on how active my workouts are.
Today I made the most fantastic blueberry oatmeal pancakes, topped with mashed banana and drizzled almond butter. OMG, seriously one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in weeks!
Amanda Cowan And Away We Go
I like how you include the times in your food journal!
Also, thanks for the suggestion on the Cilantro Dressing for TJ’s. It’s on my list for my next trip! Cheers~
Your breakfast and dessert look delicious.
I am pro-snacking! I seem to snack more than have a proper lunch during the week and then weekends snack less since i have more of a bigger brunch later in the morning.
