Happy Wednesday friends! I am stoked that the week is half over already … bring on the weekend with the fam! I am linking up again with Jenn of Peas and Crayons for another edition of What I Ate Wednesday

And old favorite of mine! A turkey sandwich with spinach, bacon, and mustard. A nice pickle on the side
DINNER
Turkey meatloaf muffins and roasted vegetables for dinner. A family favorite for Chris, Emmalyne, and myself!
Keeping things short and sweet today. I have to head up to post to go to a doctor’s appointment and meeting for the FRG. Busy busy Wednesday

Happy Wednesday folks! The only good thing about the Tuesday following a long weekend is that Wednesday is right around the corner and you’re halfway to your next weekend … WEE! Since it’s Wednesday, I am excited to link up with the lovely Jenn of Peas and Crayons for another edition of “What I Ate Wednesday“.
BREAKFAST
I have a problem. I am addicted to baked apple cinnamon oatmeal. It’s a good problem to have though right? I enjoyed it with iced coffee and fresh fruit.
LUNCH
I packed a lunch and took it with me to post. I volunteered in the morning and then went to CrossFit. Since it was during Em’s nap time I hung around for a bit. I had a green tea lemonade, a chicken salad sandwich, carrot sticks, and some clementines.
DINNER
A new recipe perfected for you guys! Can’t wait to share it … chicken sausage, spinach, and tomato pasta. The whole family LOVED it.
I also snacked throughout the day … a Larabar at the hospital, GNC Total Lean Chocolate Peanut Butter protein shake post-WOD, and a s’mores with Chris 
Happy Wednesday friends! Don’t forget to go link up with WIAW

Happy Wednesday friends! Today is a bittersweet day … Yon is heading back to Las Vegas which means the grandma-induced-bliss of having some time to ourselves is over for now. Sweet because we are packing up and heading to Hilton Head Island today for Operation R&R (more on this awesome program later!). Since it’s Wednesday it’s time for another What I Ate Wednesday with the lovely Jenn of Peas and Crayons.
BREAKFAST
Baked apple cinnamon oatmeal that I made on the weekend. A big bowl of fresh fruit on the side and an iced coffee in my sweet new Target mug.
LUNCH
Uptown Deli chicken salad on Ezekiel Flax bread and cuties on the side. Random: my cuties had seeds in them. I thought they were supposed to be seedless?
SNACKS
Peanut butter chocolate chip Larabar while running from the hospital to my car to make it to CrossFit at noon. Some beef jerky in the afternoon and a Chobani pineapple bite before dinner.
DINNER
We grilled pizzas for Yon’s last night in town. With the warmer temperatures slowly coming into our lives we are getting amped for spring and grilling more frequently. I love it.
I am really looking forward to this weekend away. Chris works really hard and being in the Army is a 24/7 job. Having the stress of command is tough on him. I am excited that he gets to take a few days to himself and we should get some quality family time in without interruptions See you from Hilton Head!
What is your favorite thing to grill out?

Happy Wednesday folks! Some of my good stuff for today is that my mother-in-law Yon is coming into town. She hasn’t been here for a few months so I am excited that Emmalyne is going to get some quality Grandma time … and mommy is going to get a little break Heck, Chris and I even are getting a date night. WIN. Some other good stuff? It’s time for another “What I Ate Wednesday” with the lovely Jenn of Peas and Crayons.
BREAKFAST
Scrambled eggs with salsa, some bacon, fresh fruit, and whole wheat waffles. I used whole wheat pastry flour and it was FAB.
MORNING SNACK
GNC Total Lean 25 vanilla protein shake after leaving the gym.
LUNCH
I am going to shock you guys … NOT. I picked up some chicken salad from my favorite local deli to have on hand for the week. I enjoyed that on Ezekiel bread and an apple on the side.
SNACKS
Some afternoon snacks. I had some Perky Jerky which is fantastic. I love the teriyaki flavor to it. I then dealt with a stressful issue with a military family and ended up snacking on some Publix animal crackers.
DINNER
Turkey sausage, arugula, and tomato pasta with whole wheat fettucine. MMM.

Where has this week gone? I can’t believe it is already Wednesday! I have crammed a ton of stuff into the last two days including mommy and me yoga! I am volunteering at the hospital the next couple of days too. Busy busy bee Since it’s Wednesday, it’s time for another “What I Ate Wednesday” with the lovely Jenn of Peas and Crayons (PS – her whole wheat oatmeal pancakes look BOMB).
Simple yet delicious breakfast. Whole egg and egg whites scrambled with spinach, fresh fruit, and some bacon. Super excited that berries are coming back into season in the Deep South!
Post Workout Snack
GNC Total Lean 25 Chocolate Peanut Butter protein shake.
LUNCH
I picked up my favorite chicken salad from the deli to have on hand for the week. Food For Life recently sent me a sample of their new Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Flax Bread and I thought this was a great time to try it out. Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Flax Bread is flour free, has 5g of protein, 4g of fiber, omega 3s, and is low glycemic. I LOVED it! The flax seeds added some fun texture and I definitely felt satisfied.
SNACK
I had a VitaTop Carrot Cake for a snack. I love me some muffins and this was a great way to have a treat without all the calories. Satisfied my sweet tooth for sure.
DINNER
Creamy mushroom chicken from the current issue of Clean Eating Magazine. I made some adaptations to it though. The whole family scarfed it down and Em even licked her plate. If you’re on my Instagram you see the proof Served it up with roasted broccoli, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and carrots.
Happy day of eats if I do say so myself. As always, I missed some snacks along the way but I don’t always have my camera (shocker) nor care to snap a photo of every morsel that crosses my lips
What is a new recipe you’ve tried lately?
