Ahhhh Wednesday. The week is officially in full force and, like I mentioned in Tuesday’s post, I have not been feeling the past few days due to jet lag and a new college quarter beginning. One thing I am feeling is FOOD.
How’s that for an intro? I swear, it gets harder each post. So let’s just try to ignore that lead into todays WIAW and just jump into a look into what has been making their way on to my plate!
Breakfast:
Proud of myself for doing just a tiny bit of food prep and chopping up some veggies. I luuuurve omelets and scrambled eggs for breakfast and tosses about a cup of my veggie mix in with two eggs, two egg whites, and a little but of cheese. Plus a big glass of water (another 2015 goal… HYDRATE!) and a cold orange.
Lunch:
Lunch turned out a little bit scattered since I randomly texted Tiana and Kelty and asked if they wanted to come over to hangout for an hour or so before I had to go to my physics lab. Kelty and her partner, Afton, brought over two packages of Kraft mac and cheese and hotdogs. We feasted and I was too busy chatting up my friends who had been studying abroad for Fall quarter to snap photos. I also ate some leftover beef soup that Kyle and I made last night!
Snack:
Fudge Graham Zone Perfect Bar
Favorite. Bar. Ever. I discovered these a few years ago and this flavor has been my favorite health bar ever since. I probably eat at least one a day whenever I buy them from the store!
Dinner:
Yakisoba (a yummy Japanese noodle) with cooked carrots and some of the veggies I had chopped up this morning. ALSO. A little comforting cup of a green tea latte thing that a family friend gave to me one morning in Japan. Before leaving, I picked up 9 boxes because I became so obsessed. They are amazing and I have to limit myself to two a day since I could sip a lllll day long. I’m not a big tea person, so the fact that I think I like this drink more than coffee (shocker- I know) is a pretty big switch up for me.
If anyone know how to make it at home and not from a package (I think it’s some sort of macha powder, but I could be completely wrong since I don’t even know what matcha really is), please let me know! I only have… 120 packets left so I’m already freaking out 😉 .
What was the best thing you ate today?
Could you possibly post a photo of the packet for the latte? I live in kyoto and I want to look for it now
Sure! I could email or text it to if you want- just let me know your email or email me at christineskari@gmail.com :). I was in Kyoto as well! One of my favorite places that we visited :).
Thanks! Emailing now:)
I loved those little green tea sachets when I visited Japan! I made the mistake of only bring like a handful back – and haven’t found a replacement since :'( I’ve bought matcha powder and tried ‘whisking’ it myself with some milk but it just isn’t the same!
Happy WIAW! Your pictures look SO much better than mine :). I have to say I am loving Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt KIND bars. It’s like candy for an afternoon treat. My packaged snack would be the best thing I’ve eaten lately… that’s kinda sad!
Sorry… my comment love was linked wrong… if you’re interested in my WIAW the right URL should be below. THANKS!
hahah my intros.. -_- always. Those scrambled eggs though! I love eggs and look forward to them nearly every morning.
Those noodles look delish! I think you may need to do a recipe post…
Your Yakisoba looks relish! I’ve only eaten oatmeal so far today, but the best thing I had recently was dark chocolate brownies. YUM! <3
Ahhh it’s SO good! My mom sent me home with a few fresh noodles before I came back to school (I had absolutely nothing in the fridge since we had just gotten back) and I’m so glad she did!
DARK CHOCOLATE BROWNIES. ERHHHMAAAGAWDDD <3
I was just thinking that I would make some kind of noodle veggie thing for dinner tonight. I have some soba noodles in the cabinet and that sounds perfect!
Woo! Glad I could inspire your dinner a little bit haha!
your food always looks awesome! i also love the little cup with the juice, where is that from?!
It’s actually from my parent’s house! But I’m Japanese and know a few places to pick them up. Shoot me an email with your address and I can mail you one!
I am glad I am not the only one who finds it difficult to write intros for WIAW posts. The struggle is real! 😉
Isn’t it, girlie?! I swear, mine get worse and worse every timeI try to sit down and write one haha!
Great eats! I absolutely ADORE Zone bars! I’ve tried so many protien bars but nothing compares! The best thing I ate today was a big bowl o’ oatmeal!
Aren’t they SO good?! And I can’t believe I haven’t heard about them yet on another blog! Mhmm, nothing like a big warm bowl to help you start your day!
Yum! That looks like a delicious day of eats!
I love your colorful dishes!
hanks, Liz :)!
Great photography! I really want some of that green tea drink now.
Thanks, Molly! I wish I could send you a cup!
I’m digging all the veggie loving in this post.
Did you know those little bits and bobs of veggies in the background of your picture (the bell pepper seeds, the squash top), you can chuck into a Ziploc bag in your freezer and save to make future veggie stock? Pretty sweet right, unless of course this is old news to you.
Beautiful pictures.
Oh seriously?! I would love to try that out! I really don’t think I utilize my freezer enough. I mostly just have some frozen fruit and ice cream (lots of icecream 😉 ) in there!
That green tea latte looks delicious.
Love all your veggies, I’m definitely looking to up my veggie game in the new year.
Total inspiration.
It is SO good! Wish I could send you some right now! And hooray to more veg!
So… my halfie Japanese bestie has (I think!) conquered a pretty decent substitute for it becsuse like you, she brought a tonne home! I’ll ask her!
Woooo! Let me know if you find out 😀
