On Tuesday, I Ate…
Oh yes, it’s What I Ate Wednesday time! Today, I’ll feature my eats on Tuesday, a day when I ate 5-6 mini meals…
Breakfast #1 6am: Spinach-banana smoothie and coffee
Breakfast #2 8am: rice cracker and smoked salmon
Lunch, 12noon: chicken and brown rice, plus a cup of tea
Snack #1, a juicy orange
Snack #2, 2pm: tall coffee
Surprise! 6:30pm…got home and opened the fridge- my best-fiancé-ever left a dozen multi-colored roses in there (right next to the almond milk and flax, of course) as a surprise! They’re beautiful!
Dinner #1, 6:30pm: leftover broccoli while heating up TJ’s chicken shu mei for book club.
Dinner #2, book club! Apps and girl talk:
Hmm, must eat more veggies tomorrow.
Bedtime!
-How many times did you eat yesterday?
- What do you usually bring as an app to a party (when you know they’ll already have cheese and crackers, hummus, etc?) I need ideas!
- What’s your favorite color roses? Favorite flower?

I ate three times yesterday.
I know what you mean about coming up with different appetisers. I sometimes do something sweet for a change, like peppermint creams. Or, for a healthy alternative you could chop up carrot sticks etc.

For an app, my favorite that I’ve blogged about a couple of times are goal cheese stuffed peppadews. Couldn’t be more simple, taste amazing!
Rebecca
January 16, 2013 at 7:46 am (125 days ago)I’ll check out your recipe– maybe bring them next month!

January 16, 2013 at 5:22 am (125 days ago)Surprise flowers are the best! I love beigey-peachy roses. White hydrangeas are my absolute favorite flowers though
Rebecca
January 16, 2013 at 7:45 am (125 days ago)I absolutely love hydrangeas too! I told the florist I want lots of them at the wedding ha

January 16, 2013 at 6:19 am (125 days ago)Obsessed with the starbucks pic with your ring — beautiful! I like to bring crock pot meatballs — so easy to make and the crock pot makes them easily portable!
Rebecca
January 16, 2013 at 7:44 am (125 days ago)Thank you!!!! I’m obsessed with the ring too
I totally need a crock pot- meatballs would be a great thing to bring

January 16, 2013 at 7:02 am (125 days ago)What a nice fiancee! That’s super sweet! What book did you discuss?
Rebecca
January 16, 2013 at 7:43 am (125 days ago)We discussed Gone Girl, which I read a couple months ago. Everyone liked it! We chose “The Invisible Thread” for our next book….sounds like a good one!

January 16, 2013 at 7:10 am (125 days ago)I’m definitely a snacker/eats lots of mini meals throughout the day too. I probably eat 5-6 times a day on average. And hey, you got some veggies in with your green smoothie! Better than most of my days anyway haha

January 16, 2013 at 8:34 am (125 days ago)How lovely of your fiancé!! What a sweetie!
I’m a three meal kinda girl (with snacks haha). I like to have proper meals otherwise I’ll eat way to much I think!

January 16, 2013 at 8:46 am (125 days ago)How sweet is your fiancé!?! Adorable. That was a day of delicious eats!

January 16, 2013 at 9:51 am (125 days ago)Love the pic with you holding the starbucks b/c you can see your pretty ring. Love it! What book did you read for book club?
Rebecca
January 16, 2013 at 2:53 pm (125 days ago)We read Gone Girl. Have you read it yet? you should!!
Jessica @ Fit Talker
January 16, 2013 at 11:39 am (125 days ago)Do you really talk about the book in detail? I like the concept of a book club but don’t usually talk about books after I read them, or at least not in great detail since that makes me think of English class (shudder).
For apps, my go to was historically been spinach balls (you can google or the recipe is on my blog).
Rebecca
January 16, 2013 at 2:52 pm (125 days ago)I’m in 2 book clubs…..one of them talks about the book for literally 90 seconds….but the other one does talk about the book for 15 minutes or so. I prefer not talking about it and just having girl talk and wine, but still fun!
Jessica @ Fit Talker
January 17, 2013 at 9:31 am (124 days ago)Sounds perfect to me! Thanks for the answer.

January 16, 2013 at 6:26 pm (125 days ago)The flowers would be such a nice surprise!
Your spinach smoothie has me craving one now! yum
Apples and Arteries
January 19, 2013 at 5:33 am (122 days ago)So sweet! My favorite flowers are tulips.
I tend to stick to homemade hummus and pita chips as an app. I saw these Tomato Tulips on Pinterest–if time wasn’t an issue, they would be fun to bring to a party! http://www.shockinglydelicious.com/a-few-of-my-favorite-things-september-2012/
