Happy Wednesday – time for a day of eats!  It was another sunny day, and it got up to 80 degrees – crazy for March in Pittsburgh!

Peas and Crayons
I kind of failed at the green theme yesterday – check out Jenn’s blog for great ideas on incorporating more greens into your diet!

Breakfast #1, 6 am:

1/2 of a slice of a lightened up, sugar-free, whole wheat version of my neighbor’s soda bread recipe.  Not perfect yet, but tastes pretty good!

Breakfast #2, 8:30 am:

Peanut butter breakfast cookie – topped with more greek yogurt & some cashew butter.

Lunch, 12:30 pm:

Leftovers!  Spicy chile egg casserole, roasted parmesan asparagus and baked beer fries.

PM snack: Gala apple with cashew butter

Post workout snack, 5:30 pm:

Right out of the container – and some grapes and peanut flour granola.

Dinner, 7pm:

My dad, brother and I went to one of my favorite restaurants – Double Wide Grill, which I’ve posted about before.  Instead of ordering my very favorite pulled seitan sandwich, I tried the tilapia tacos instead.

Good, but not great.  The sauce didn’t have much flavor, the beans and rice were really bland.  It’s the first time I didn’t absoultely LOVE my meal here – but now I know to stick to the other dishes I’ve tried.

Best thing that happened to me this week:

Booked a trip to South Beach!  Adam’s never been, and one of my best friends lives in Miami – I’m so excited, even though we’re not going until May!

On today’s agenda – strawberry & greek yogurt chia overnight oats, more leftovers for lunch, a spin class, and dinner is yet to be determined.  Have a great day! :)

What’s the best thing that’s happened to you this week?

    This food looks so good! I want the recipes for the sides, though!! Mmmmm

    Also, since I see ur a foodie in Pittsburgh – have you been to Salt of the Earth? Food & Wine mag had an article in the fall/winter about Top 10 Dishes of 2011 and their Wild Salmon with Sea Beans & Buckwheat was on it. Wish me luck trying to drag my boyfriend there when we’re in town for his friend’s wedding :)

    Double Wide Grill is such a fun restaurant name! Love it.

    your breakfast #2 looks lime dessert. I’m a big fan of those types of breakfasts. :)

    Best thing that happened to me today: this weather! And I’ve been to south beach once, but I was 17 and there in december for a Habitat for Humanity trip. Haha so I didn’t really “experience” the beach, but I’m sure you’ll have a great time!

    Ooh, your peanut butter breakfast cookie with cashew butter looks amazing. I still need to try that recipe!

    You’re going to have a blase in South Beach. I’ve actually never been to southern Florida, but I’ve heard great things! It’s always fun to have a vacation to look forward to!
