Yummy Eats: WIAW # 27
Hey there! I checked off most of my to-do list yesterday and so Wednesday already feels more relaxing than Monday and Tuesday did….ahhh! I missed WIAW last week, so am happy to be back on board this week.
Need some fun procrastination while at work? Visit Jenn and check out all the great WIAW posts
This WIAW morning, I woke up to my old favorite. A smoothie.
Then, I ran in a 5k. And ate an UberBar sample when I finished (they were handing them out at the finish line). Umm, YUM! I didn’t think I’d like these as much as I did.
Lunch was at the Whole Foods bar. I picked up some food during my grocery shop. Quinoa salad with some roasted chicken on top, green grapes, and a sparkling water.
After hours in Target and the Container store, I needed ice cream…well fro yo…Jared got ice cream but I was craving fro yo and luckily they were next door to each other.
Dinner was a sweet potato and a rosemary lamb kabob (from whole foods). It was way too much meat so I ate about a third. The potato tasted so good!
And lastly, I wasn’t really hungry, but ate some cinnamon sugar popcorn for dessert. Someone brought this to our BBQ last week and it’s so good!
And since this month is about fitness, my exercise for the day was a 5k and running around doing errands! Errands count, right 
Enjoy your day!
–Favorite popcorn flavor? I love straight kettle corn too but this cinnamon one was awesome.
–Tried the UberBars? Have a favorite “bar” for snack? I usually eat larabars or pure bars.
–Eat anything good today?

Love straight kettle corn you find @ amusement parks.. Mmm!!
I’m eating my morning smoothie right now, and as usual.. it’s delicious!

. I missed it so much that it’s the first thing I ate when I returned home from vacation!
Rebecca

July 18, 2012 at 4:13 am (305 days ago)Whole Foods AND fro yo? That sounds like my ideal day!
I love just plain popcorn with a bit of butter and salt, but caramel popcorn and dill pickle popcorn are also favourites of mine!
Rebecca
July 18, 2012 at 6:09 am (305 days ago)Dill Pickle popcorn- I didn’t know that existed!!! Neat combo…I’m intrigued to try it

July 18, 2012 at 5:00 am (305 days ago)I have yet to try those uber bars but they look so good! I have been recently trying to eat more meat in general just for more protein and I have to say that lamb looks god!

July 18, 2012 at 5:35 am (305 days ago)I’m not a huge sweet popcorn fan. Unless it’s caramel. But I think my favorite flavor popcorn is white cheddar cheese! mmmmmm!

July 18, 2012 at 11:24 am (304 days ago)Cinnamon popcorn sounds amazing! I love everything you ate in this post! What an awesome day! I’m so boring and just like my popcorn plain!

July 18, 2012 at 1:57 pm (304 days ago)I’ll have to try cinnamon on my paper-bag-popped popcorn.
I’m enjoying fresh blueberries today. I have a 10lb box I need to get through!!

July 18, 2012 at 2:10 pm (304 days ago)Larabars and Pure bars are my go-to snack bars, too, but I haven’t tried the “Uber” bars yet…I’ve been obsessed with baked sweet potatoes lately, what did you top yours with?
Alison
July 18, 2012 at 5:15 pm (304 days ago)My favorite flavor of popcorn is definitely white cheddar or something cheesy–but not overwhelming. I’ve always wanted to try an uber bar and I really wish I could find some!
Today I ate some really good quinoa salad from Costco for lunch and some wild rice w/ salty tilapia (leftovers) and fresh stir fried veggies for dinner! Also had a little bit of waffle and syrup for a snack–haven’t had some of that in a while!!

July 18, 2012 at 6:58 pm (304 days ago)That Indiana popcorn is so good and addicting. I once ate the Whole bag myself!

July 19, 2012 at 4:03 pm (303 days ago)Lamb is one of those foods that I can’t think about where it comes from, but it looks delicious! My favorite way to eat popcorn is cooked on the stove, then topped with butter and parmesan. I tried twice this weekend to make it, burning it each time before giving up. (I think the popcorn was too old.)
