WIAW: 4-4-14

Hey Guys! Welcome to another WIAW! I am trying to get these posted earlier in the day, so this week I am showing you what I ate last Friday the 4th. I had a really busy day that day, starting with therapy in the morning, then a few errands and then I had to get ready for my engagement pictures. :)

 

This is an every morning thing. I drink a bottle of water and take all of my vitamins. I will be doing a post on the vitamins that I take in the next couple of weeks, so you can keep an eye out for that.

 

This was a semi-quick breakfast, meaning it didn't require me to cook very much :) I had a banana, two waffles and some mocha coffee almonds. These things are delicious and have a good bit of caffeine in them. In 1 oz, it has as much caffeine as 2 oz of coffee!

For lunch, I stopped by Panera to pick something up. I got the pick two meal. I got it with the Sierra Turkey sandwich (so it comes with half of it) and the Caeser salad (it comes with half of a salad, I ate half of what they gave me, so I ate a quarter of the salad). It was really delicious and I made sure I got lots of veggies in.

For dinner, we went to Pied Piper Eatery with our friends Shawn and Sarah. I had never been there before so we decided to indulge a bit. We got fried pickles and loaded cheese fries. All four of us shared these, so I am not exactly sure how much I ate, but it was too much. :)

And for the main course, I had a burger with a fried egg and cheddar. I left the lettuce on my burger, but took the onion off. I got the mac and cheese with the burger (I should have gotten something healthier). I did eat all the mac, but didn't finish the burger. They were both pretty good.

 

So there you have it guys. What have you been eating on lately?

 

 

WIAW and a Quick Review

Hey Guys! Welcome back to another WIAW! I am a horrible blogger today! I was in such a rush to get to therapy on time and to get all my errands done that I totally forgot to photograph all of my food! UHG!! But I will quickly tell you what I ate, and then I have a food review for you!

Breakfast

For breakfast today, I had my usual: A banana, one cinnamon waffle and eggs with cheese and salsa.

Lunch

We had lunch at Chick Fil A today. It was requested by my little guy. I just had a nugget meal with fries. Though, I did not finish my meal.

Snack

For my snack today, I was bad and had a Reese's cup. And it wasn't the dark chocolate ones that I have been loving lately.

Dinner

Dinner is where my quick review comes in. I was craving Mexican food, but had a lot to get done at the house so we didn't want to go out to eat. I looked through my coupons and found a coupon for this.

 

It is one of the new Old El Paso frozen Mexican meals. We picked up the Chicken Enchiladas. This was only $5.99 at the Target we were at, and we had the $1 coupon. This comes with six enchiladas. I really thought that I had rice at home, but I didn't. I would definitely recommend eating this with a salad and some rice. JP and I both ate three enchiladas a piece.

 

This is what mine looked like when they were done. I am pretty sure I over cooked them, because the package says to microwave on high for 3 minutes or low for 6. I didn't realize that so I cooked them on high for 6 minutes and then cooked them in the over for the full 25. Another thing to note, the cheese did not look like that! I added extra shredded cheese because there just wasn't enough for me.

 

But as for the food itself, it was really good. I liked the flavor and the texture. I could have eaten the whole pan. They definitely aren't as good as authentic Mexican food (or maybe even homemade) but they are really good considering they are a frozen meal. I would definitely give these a shot if you are craving some Mexican food but don't want to go out or spend a ton of money.

 

So there you have it guys. Hopefully I will do a better job of remembering my pictures next week! So sorry about that! Also, I am still having trouble uploading my March Favorites on YouTube. I am giving it another shot tomorrow!
