What I Ate Wednesday (30.1.18)

Breakfast 8:30am 

Today for breakfast I decided to have toast, which I don't usually have but I really fancied it. I had 2 slices of wholemeal bloomer bread, with some Meridian crunchy peanut butter and a sliced banana on top; my favourite topping on toast. As usual I also had water and a cup of tea with my breakfast. 

Lunch 1:30pm

I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast and was absolutely starving after my gym class. For lunch I went for a wholemeal flat bread which I toasted with; falafels, sweet potatoes, cucumber and plum tomatoes to dip into some organic humous. I love lunches like this and I find them so filling. Obviously, I also had water with it, and I also had a cup of tea after eating my lunch.

Dinner 6:30pm

It was just a quick and simple dinner tonight. I had a jacket potato done in the oven with grated cheddar cheese and spring onion, along with a mountain of steamed broccoli and some more water. 

Dessert 7pm
Following my dinner I had something sweet to end the night. I had a chopped up nectarine with some Alpro Simply Plain yogurt and a cup of tea.

What I Ate Wednesday (23.1.18)

Breakfast 8am

Today I had my homemade granola (recipe coming soon), with natural Greek yogurt and fresh blueberries with my usual cup of tea made with semi- skimmed milk and a bottle of water.

Lunch 12:30pm 
For lunch I had half of the Yorkshire Provender Roast Chicken and Traditional Vegetable Soup with black pepper on top, and two small slices of fresh granary bread from a local bakery with dairy-free spread. I also had another bottle of water, which I have been topping up and drinking from all morning. After my soup I had another cup of tea and a banana.

 Dinner 6pm
Today I didn't have a snack between lunch and dinner but most often I will do. For dinner tonight I had salmon baked in the oven, corn on the cob, spinach, baby potatoes, and a mountain of rocket as I really fancied it (sorry its falling off my plate, haha!)

Dessert 7pm
I usually always fancy something sweet after dinner and I will often have fruit. Today I made a healthy crumble. This is something I do quite a lot and love it. I just stew down some fruit with a splash of water usually apples, but today I had one stewed pear. I then top it with a some oats and some of my homemade granola to make the crumble topping. Then I add a spoonful of natural yogurt.  I also had a decaf tea.

That's it!

What I Ate Wednesday (17.6.14)

Breakfast

I had porridge with semi-skimmed milk as usual for breakfast and I added extra milk and blueberries on top. I had a cup of tea with 1 sugar and milk and a glass of orange juice too.

Lunch

I actually made lunch from scratch today, I made chicken and corn chowder. It was made with onions, potatoes, double cream, chicken stock, sweetcorn, butter and obviously chicken too. It was actually surprisingly easy to make but it took along time, but it was worth is as it was really delicious- if I do say so myself. On the side I had a white bread roll heated up so it was warm and crispy with butter and I also had a glass of water too. 

Dinner 

For dinner I had pasta bake, which was made by my mum. It has leftover chicken from lunch, baby corn, green beans, broccoli, tomatoes and some other vegetables - I'm sure, as my mum likes to cook with a lot of veg. Which I actually don't mind as I have alway enjoyed her homemade meals with fresh vegetables since I was little. I was a weird child, I know.

I also had more glasses of water and cups of tea throughout the day and I may of had a couple of rich tea biscuits too.. That's it, see you all tomorrow.

Breakfast

This week I found a new cereal that I really love and its the Jordans super berry granola. What I love about this granola is that it contains blueberries, cranberries and blackcurrants and it also contains seeds and almonds and it doesn't contain raisins unlike most "healthy" cereals, which is good as I really don't like raisins. 

Lunch 

For lunch I just had a toastie. I used the Cathedral City cheddar cheese and roasted chicken slices in my toastie with white bread. 

Snack 

For a snack I had my favouirte yogurt which is the vanilla Activia and on the side I had a few fresh strawberries, blueberries and a kiwi. 

Dinner 

Enchiladas for dinner, I love Mexican food and Enchiladas are defiantly one of my favourite meals. I had two Enchiladas and they were really filling. On the side I had peas and spinach. 

That's it.

What I Ate Wednesday (27.4.14)

Breakfast

Again I had porridge, its just so quick and easy and its really filling. I had the original one today and I added chopped banana on top.

Lunch

I had lunch out as I was in town with my best friend. We went to the Wilkinson's cafe as the food is great and really good value. I had a jacket potato with cheese and beans. It came with lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber and I'm not sure what the dressing was but it was delicious. 

Snack

We went to the cinema in the afternoon and my friend and I shared a small popcorn, we had half sweet and half salt as we couldn't decide on which one to get. 

Dinner

Just had a small dinner as I wasn't that hungry. I had popcorn chicken with new potatoes, carrot sticks, cucumber and  a cous cous salad.

 Dessert

I had the the vanilla cupcake that was with a butter cream frosting and a chocolate star, my mum had the chocolate one. I wanted both but she ate the chocolate one before I got to it in time. They are from Sainsbury's  and they are absolutely delicious.

What I Ate Wednesday (16.4.14) / (18.4.14)

Breakfast

Porridge again- sorry, but I do love my porridge. This time I'm having the chocolate variety and I've added a few strawberries. I drank a glass of water before I had my breakfast and with my breakfast I had another glass of water.

Morning Snack

As it was nearly Easter on the day I took the photographs for this weeks What I Ate Wednesday, I had a hot cross bun. I don't normally like hot cross buns as I don't like raisins. But M&S have brought hot cross buns with chocolate chips in instead of raisins and it also contains toffee and fudge. 

Lunch 

I wasn't really that hungry at lunchtime, so I just had something light. I had some watercress salad with cheddar cheese, cucumber and ham. 

Afternoon Tea 

We went out for afternoon tea and obviously I was going to have a a cup of tea and a scone with jam and clotted cream. You may have seen this on Sunday's post. I never know whether to put the jam or the cream on first and I seem to change it every time.

Dinner 

I forgot to take pictures of my dinner on Wednesday, but Friday we went out for dinner. I had a fish pie which came with kale and red cabbage. It was an absolute massive portion but I still managed to eat it all.

Dessert

For my dessert I had a warm chocolate brownie which was covered in melted chocolate and came with vanilla ice cream. Delicious!! 

That's everything. This weeks What I Ate Wednesday had meals from two days and consisted of a lot of treats but I thought it would be more interesting as I ate out.

What I Ate Wednesday (14.4.14)

Breakfast

I just wanted something quick and easy for breakfast so I had porridge with a banana and as a treat I added golden syrup to sweeten it. Then as usual I had a cup of tea as I need the caffeine in the morning to keep me awake as I had lot of revision to get done today. Also I just had a glass of water as I've been suffering from a lot of headaches recently and it think it could be down to dehydration, so I'm now making sure I drink 8 glasses of water a day.

 Lunch

I decided to eat my lunch outside today as the weather was so nice and sunny. I had a cheese topped roll which I heated up so it was nice and warm and then inside I just had Primula original cheese spread. On the side I had some carrot sticks and cucumber with houmous and this bean and white cheese salad. I also had another glass of water.

Snack

For a snack I really fancied some fruit so I had some pineapple and grapes with a smoothie. The smoothie I had was the Innocent pomegranate, blueberries and acai one, and this one is one of my favourites. It also contains red and white grapes, bananas, orange, and lemon juice and 1 glass is 2 of your 5 a day. I also had a glass of water.

Dinner 

 I had Korma curry made with pork and served with rice. On the side I had peas and Mattar paneer which is basically peas in a tomato based sauce with farmer cheese and its absolutely delicious. I also had another glass of water.

Dessert/ Evening Snack 

Not very exciting but a bit of a chocolate fix and as a treat I had a KitKat and 3 Jaffacakes both of which were delicious. Also I had another glass of water. 

That's it!
