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 (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.

Surprise Sunday: Afternoon Tea Anyone?

Coming from a family of tea lovers, I never really liked tea all that much for along time. But recently I have been really getting into it and I'm even starting to crave the stuff, I swear it's some kind of drug. We went out for afternoon tea to this local Vineyard as it was my grandparents anniversary. And I had what the place called a 'Tadpole' which consists of tea with 1 scone with jam and clotted cream. 

The tea didn't come in it's normal form, the tea bag, it came loose. I'd never really had loose tea before and I didn't even know that tea came loose. So there was no hope in me knowing what a tea strainer was, but thankfully I do know now. We had a little cup and saucer which we were to drink our tea from and the tea strainer was really cute, it was in a little tea pot shape. I've always thought tea tastes nicer in a cup than a mug, is that just me? And also, now I've tried loose tea, it tastes 10x better than tea from a bag. I know, I'm sounding old.

What I love about the place is that it is so quirky and nothing matches. Everyone has a different cup and saucer, everyone has a different plate and everyone even has a different chair. It has their personal touch that everyone will remember. 

Of course I was going to have a scone, who wouldn't. I just had a plain scone but I could of had a cheese or a fruit scone. It came with jam and clotted cream which is an absoloute treat as I never normally have that. It was absoloutely to die for as the scones were homemade, and you could even see in the kitchen where they made them. The clotted cream and jam were also local produce from the area. It was proberly one of the best scones I have had for a long time and I'm craving one now as I'm typing this. Thanks for reading!

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!
