Hello lovelies!
I hope life has been treating all you perfect people well and that you’re ready for my weekly WIAW post (I know it’s the highlight of your week, obviously). My eats have been pretty delicious, but my photos aren’t up to par. Sometimes you can’t beat the convenience of snapping a quick pic with your iPhone! Anyways, tallyho!
Breakfast: a simple cereal bowl with cheerios and mini wheats. Milk added after, since soggy cereal is my biggest enemy.
Snackage: trail mix! Cashews and chocolate=my life.
Lunch: I’ve been getting a Chipotle craving every week or so, and my belly was quite satisfied to have an enormous salad bowl with all the fixings. Well, minus the spicy salsa. Fun fact: I basically have no tolerance for spice whatsoever. Like, zero.
Dinner: homemade pizza with a garlic-infused crust! I tried out using part whole wheat to make it, and it turned out fabulous! Add an extra slice to the picture, it was too good to resist ;).
Dessert: fresh blueberries! The perfect post-dinner sweetness.
In other non-food related news, I went shopping with Kyle for some new clothes and had a blast dressing him up. He’s like my own personal man-doll.
Anddd that’s about all I have, folks!
Can’t wait to see all of your eats as well!
xo Christine

Every single one of your meals is truly drool worthy. I can’t even pinpoint the best looking dish. I suppose if I’d have to choose, it’d be the homemade pizza! YUM. Question, what recipe do you follow?
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
I used this recipe! So good! http://allrecipes.com/recipe/amazing-whole-wheat-pizza-crust/
Sarah @ Making Thyme for Health says
All of the food in this post looks so yummy! Especially the garlic infused pizza crust and the trail mix! Garlic and chocolate…mmmm. 😉
Kyle is such a cute man doll! You did good dressing him up. He’s lucky his woman has good style!
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Hahah I agree. Two of my favorite things=garlic and chocolate 😉
D’awww thanks girl! I agree, he sure is lucky hahah 😉
Natalie @ Lift,Sleep, Eat says
Oh wow your homemade pizza looks delicious! Wow.
Sometimes there’s nothing better than a simple bowl of cereal and cashews + chocolate = heaven!!
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
I completely agree! So good
Kim @ BusyBod says
The homemade pizza looks so good! And I agree, chocolate and cashews is heaven. I usually won’t even buy cashews because I scarf them all down too quickly
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
It turned out better than I expected! But I guess you can’t go wrong with cheese and garlic ;). Haha story of my life with the cashews!
Sarah says
Okay I don’t care if you took your pictures with and iPhone or a real camera, they always come out amazing! You and Kyle are absolutely the cutest. Seriously, you have so much fun together! Man doll- I like it 😉
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Aww thanks <3. He's my biffle for life (makes sense to me) and we have a great time doing absolutely nothing together :). Hahah so do I 😉
Liz @ The Girl on Fire Now says
I can’t stand spicy stuff either!
You and Kyle are so adorable together – love his outfit 😉
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Aww thanks Liz!
Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
Did you really just say tallyho? 😆 Oh girl, I adore you <3 And I definitely feel ya on the spice – I'm the biggest wimp when it comes to anything even remotely hot… it's like my tastebuds go into self-defense mode and just shut down completely. I can handle mild salsa for the most part, but anything more than that? Just no.
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Hahah, sometimes I run out of ways to start a post! I adore you too <3. Let's just become a blogging couple and run away to the tropics and drink margaritas and eat nut butter together. Sound good? I'm the same with spice! Sometimes I can't even handle mild, especially when it comes to Indian food!
Jackie says
Looks like a great food day! Your cashew and chocolate combo looks like the perfect snack. I think I need to steal that idea
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
STEAL IT! It’s so good
Jemma @ Celery and Cupcakes says
Love your eats! The trail mix looks yummy and chocolate always a fab addition in my opinion!
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Love it!!
Kelly @ Kelly Runs for Food says
Ooh your trail mix looks nice and chocolatey. I love a generous helping of chocolate in my “healthy” trail mix
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Hahah it’s my favorite part of the mix!
Charlotte @ Commitness to Fitness says
yummm i’ve been eating massive amounts of blueberries lately, i cant get enough! and i mix cereals too! ive been doing it since i was a kid, i honestly cant remember the last time i had a bowl of just one cereal and yay- looks like you are an awesome stylist!
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Same here! I get huge boxes form Trader Joe’s and have a party by myself with all those beautiful berries 😀
Meghan @ fitnesscrEATures says
Haha, I only use my phone for pictures… so I hear that on the convenience!
Garlic infused pizza crust?? Um, yeah, that sounds amazing and to your three slices? I saw for shame. I would have eaten the whole pie! Ha!
CUTIES you two are…. Glad he’s a sport and let you dress him up!
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Hahah if it wasn’t for all the fiber in the whole wheat crust, I could have definitely done the same! SO FILLING! He’s my lil’ doll 😀
Ashlee@hisnHers says
Mmmm cashews and chocolate is definitely a winning combo!
What a cute guy you have! I wish my husband would let me dress him up 😉
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
I agree! Two of my favs :D. Hahah, try tying him to a chair and forcing outfits on him 😉
Lauren says
I love all things spicy so if we would ever meet, I’ll glady take all the spice 😉 I cannot believe your boyfriend lets you pick out clothing for me. He’s a winner, for sure! If a guy will let you pick things out for him, he’s 100% a keeper! Cashews and chocolate <3 Mmm.
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
I need to borrow your spice tolerance! Everyone always makes fun of me haha ;). Hahaha I agree! He’s a keeper for sure <3
Beth @ Mangoes and Miles says
“He’s like my own personal man-doll.” hahahahahaahahaha. You crack me up, girlie. Everything looks so good! I’ve just given up on buying trail mixes (or even making them) because I always end up picking out the chocolate and not really eating anything else…I figure just buying chocolate is easier. 😛
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
HE IS!! Most compliant boyfrand ever. Hahaha I do the EXACT same thing. I am just a baby fan of almonds, so basically I have an entire bowl of almonds left after I pick out the cashews and chocolate 😉
Aurora@Fitness is Sweet says
I’m with you on the cereal. I eat mine dry-yeah, I’m weird. And haha, you and Kyle are adorable
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
So glad I’m not the only one 😉
Aurora@Fitness is Sweet says
I’m with you on the cereal. I eat mine dry-yeah, I’m weird. And haha, you and Kyl are adorable
Jocelyn @ Peace Love Nutrition says
I actually haven’t had cereal in about 6 years! I love blueberries though
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
They’re the best!
Audrey @ In Shape Cupcake says
Can I steal all your food? It looks great! Especially that trail mix!
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Hahah come take it all!
Leigha says
Please be my cook for a day! Your eats are always fantastic! As are the recipes you’ve posted lately… I’m with ya on the spice. I can’t take ANYTHING spicy.
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
I would love to come cook up a storm for ya 😉
jessiebearwhat says
That trail mix looks heavenly. And love the man doll 😉
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Hahah so do I! 😉
Eating 4 Balance says
Okay, so I had no idea what to expect when you mentioned “man-doll” in the post title! I was have expecting a Justin Bieber doll to make an appearance half way through (that or Ken, as those are the first two male “dolls” that pop into my head).
Homemade pizza is delicious! My favorite part is making the dough
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Hahahah sorry to disappoint! No J-biebs here ;).
I love making the dough too! Yeast is fun to play with (that sounds weird HAHA!)
cait @PieceOfCait says
I love that trail mix! Can’t have nuts without the chocolate!
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Couldn’t agree more!
FitBritt@MyOwnBalance says
Oh the garlic infused crust sounds amazing!! I live garlic!
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
I love garlic SO much! I put it in basically everything 😀
Caitlin says
HAHAHAHAHA ok, I just cracked up reading the part about Kyle as your man doll 😛 That’s hilarious! I am now determined to get Joe to dress in something that I pick out for him the next time we go out 😉 That pizza looks phenomenal! Something about completely homemade crust always makes it better to me, and infusing it with garlic? Genius! I’m asking Joe to try that next time he makes us dough 😀
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
He is my own personal Ken doll hahahah!! You definitely SHOULD! Nothing like a handsome man all dressed up for a dat ;). Mhmm you need to try it!!
Jamie @ Sometimes Healthy Living Blog says
I too love dressing my man up! They look so much better when we pick the clothes out 😉
All the eats look great, but for some reason I’m really digging the cereal. haha. I could eat a box all day every day if given the chance.
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Isn’t it so much fun?!? (and I agree hahaha! ;))
I know, right? Cereal is da bomb
Alex@Veggin' Out says
Soggy cereal is the worst! Even though I love flake cereal, I never buy it because it just gets too soggy too quickly!
Garlic infused pizza crust?! What recipe did you use? Even though I’ve already eaten my fair share of pizza this summer due to working at a pizza shop, your pizza just looks too good to resist. No such thing as too much pizza right? 😉
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Ugh I know! I usually just sit by the milk and cereal box and add the two together in a little by little so I can avoid it haha!
I used this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/amazing-whole-wheat-pizza-crust/ but added garlic powder and finely diced garlic to the dough! Definitely not! 😉
Miss Polkadot says
Having a man doll willing to be dressed up? No surprise you enjoyed that ;).
Glad to hear I’m not the only one with a spice tolerance of about zero. Whenever I spice up a chili or something like that generously thinking I’d upped it I see somebody else covering their dishes in hot sauce and know that I haven’t. Probably never will.
All of your meals look great and just seeing that salad bowl makes me understand your Chipotle craving. Too bad we don’t have them over here.
Care to mail me some of that trail mix ;)?
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
haha I know! And a handsome one at that ;). WHAT. That should be a crime not to have one near you. I’ll mail a few couple hundred salads/burrito bowls over to you asap 😉
Jo @ Living Mint Green says
I want to cannonball into that bowl of trail mix. And all of that Chipotle cheese. Will you adopt me/take me to Chipotle?!
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
Hahaha same here! That sounds like heaven. I will. Where are the papers? I’ll sign right now 😉
Alyssa @ Road to RD says
I love nuts and chocolate. They’re the best combo ever!
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says
So good <3
