Catching up to the trends of the blogosphere, Dare You To is finally joining in on the fun! I've seen the posts on nearly every foodie/fitness blog I follow, I investigated and read the rules, and now I'm ready to tell YOU what I ate Wed(t)uesday!
Actually, I'm partaking in a very special WIAW: #50 !
So here's how yesterday began: Still on vaca, I got to sleep in a bit and had breakfast around 10. I was freezing, even after my morning tea, so I warmed up some cinnamon-apple oatmeal with sliced banana and chopped prunes.
Followed shortly by a snack of almonds. (Truth: After this handful, I went back for more, with raisins.)
Again, due to the continued ice-cold weather, I opted for midday soup. Trader Joe's Butternut Squash. I tossed a palmful of chopped walnuts in; don't know what inspired that, but it worked.
In the afternoon, I finally worked up the nerve to begin the run I'd meant to complete before lunch. Check out my new kicks!
At last, dinner. While it was cooking, I had a clementine.
I took what I had in the fridge and threw it together: Almond-crusted salmon, with baby spinach and cucumbers to go with it. Roasted it all for about 15 min.
While I ate, I threw in another filet with cucumber slices and orange peppers to keep in the fridge for tomorrow.
And that was my day! What did YOU eat this Wednesday?
Actually, I'm partaking in a very special WIAW: #50 !

Great idea to cook the second batch while you eat! Happy first WIAW!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to WIAW!! It is the most fun! Clever to get tomorrow's meal ready while today's is cooking!
ReplyDeleteYour dinner looks like it was way more than a "throw together!" That would be a seriously planned out meal in my kitchen.
ReplyDeleteIt is freezing cold where I live today, I am getting ready to bundle up and head out for a jog. eek.
I love salmon. Looks really good!
ReplyDeletehappy WIAW!
ReplyDeletei love that you had prunes for breakfast. i absolutely adore prunes (i know...i'm weird), but you just don't see them that often - even on the foodie blogs.
Hmmm. Roasted cucumbers? I'm fascinated. I didn't know that was possible. Happy WIAW!!!
ReplyDeleteI bought some of TJ's butternut squash soup before. Tasty.
ReplyDeleteAnd almonds are always good. Just had some myself :)
Thanks, guys!
ReplyDeleteHaha Mattie, don't worry; the salmon tray looked way less pretty after I transferred it to plate.
T: saucony progrid . very comfortable
Sara, I'm glad someone else appreciates prunes!
All of your meals look yummy. I have never tried the almond-crusted salmon, but it sounds delicious. Happy WIAW!
ReplyDeleteOooh that salmon looks great! I am craving fish HARDCORE and I already told my husband that tomorrow after I drop him off I'm going straight to Trader Joe's to buy some of their tuna steaks. Now I might have to get some salmon as well.
ReplyDeleteI did my first wiaw post today, too! I know I won't get to it every week, but it's fun to check out all the posts. Yummy eating day! I haven't had salmon in months... need to get some soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy WIAW!! It was my first one too :) Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteHaha I ALWAYS Go back for a second handful of nuts! And that oatmeal looks delish!
ReplyDeleteHappy WIAW! :)
Wow! This looks delicious!! One handful of nuts is NEVER enough for me btw =)
ReplyDeleteI have to look into WIAW...I've read so many of these before and am tempted to start one myself!!
Your breakfast looks right up my alley! And are those Saucony shoes? Love my new ones!!
