Good morning and happy WIAW!  Jenn had a great idea to focus on sensible snacking this month.

Peas and Crayons
First, the meals:

Clockwise: breakfast – overnight peanut butter cookie dough oats with banana in a White Chocolate Wonderful jar – best combination ever.  Lunch: “True Blue” lunch room salad: blueberries, walnuts, blue cheese (not my favorite) and balsamic vinegar.  Dinner: huge black bean veggie burger, cornbread, fruit, noodles, and peas. 

Dinner was thanks to my parents, and I was so happy to see this face in particular:

And now the day’s snacks:

Clockwise from top left: Light & Fit Popcorn (half the bag yesterday, half today!), crack snack mix from Costco, Ferrero Rocher from my chocolate stash (moderation! ;) ), fruit before and with dinner, pear at work, carrots & hummus, and some Love before bed.

Missing from the photo: a cookie after my brother’s graduation ceremony & cereal straight out of the box after we got home.  Yesterday was a very snack-y day for me (9 different things, total) - mostly because I don’t think my salad at lunch filled me up enough.

The peanut butter cookie dough oats are going to be my contribution to the first Breakfast Food Friday – get excited! ;)

Design based on my Dad’s diner logo – thanks Dad! :)

Come back Friday to join the link party!

How many snacks did you have yesterday?  I had 9 total!

    I tend to snack 3-4 times each day. It varies depending on when I work out (or if I don’t!). I cannot workout on an empty stomach so I always have something an hour before. I also am so hungry after and grab another snack!

    That’s quite an impressive amount of snacks ;) but I didn’t top that this time, but I could ;-) I’m a snacky kinda girl! Love it!

    So your Dad has a diner?! That’s so cool! I’m from Holland and we don’t have diners here; but I love them dearly!

    You know I’m not sure why but lately I haven’t been snacking! I used to always have fruit and nuts around me but I’ve gravitated away from that for whatever reason! So I typically eat breakfast, lunch and supper…

    On the weekends I’m more inclined to snack because I don’t have a set work schedule though!

    You don’t like bleu cheese? Is that legal?

    i have to agree with you, blueberries do not belong with bleu cheese! too many strong flavors!

    I love snacking…just makes it so much more fun haha. I didn’t have a lot of snacks yesterday, mainly because it was busiest day on campus. 3 hour biochem labs definitely do not permit food in them haha!

    Wow your day looks like it was filled with so many great foods! I think I had 3 snacks yesterday: 1. lemon granola bar 2. Orgain protein shake and 3. cheese pizza protein bites. I think I would prefer your day of snacks :)

    Your “overnight peanut butter cookie dough oats” sounds amazing! I am working on a jar of white chocolate wonderful and can’t wait to use it for oats in a jar! :-)
