WIAW - So Much Yum

Hey everyone! I hope you are all well and getting over the middle of the week hump. Things are thawing here thanks for 40 degree weather and I'm thankful for that. It's still just white everywhere but I'm a fan of clearer roads so it's all good.

I'm starting to get back in the habit of taking more pics of my meals and today I have a bunch of yummy things I've eaten over the past week. Check it out!


There must be something in the air lately making us all want banana bread because I was having a serious craving last week. Serious enough of a craving that I came home from work after 6 on Thursday night and made a loaf. I used Chocolate Covered Katie's Fat Free Banana Bread recipe and added some chocolate chips because… well chocolate chips. 


This was breakfast the following morning. I got a nice little chocolate pocket and oh man it was so good! I still have a few pieces left in the freezer and I assure you that it has taken every ounce of my willpower not to eat the rest of it in one sitting :)


This was a beautiful salad that I ate. It had romaine, cucumber, tomato (which I avoided… they were gross and mealy), apples, almonds and dried cranberries. It was so freaking good. It was later topped with some balsamic vinaigrette and I just left off the feta.


I've been eating a lot of gluten free pasta with spinach and nooch. It's been a good staple meal in the cold weather. I use a lot of spinach in it, and I really enjoy it. It's strange because I've never really enjoyed eating pasta but lately I have been really liking it.


This was a lazy dinner but still delicious! This was a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich on wheat with some snap pea crisps. Yum.

That's all I've got for this week but I guess it's better than I've been doing? I've been repeating meals and didn't feel the need to repeat pictures. 

I hope all is well and that you all have a great night! I'll see you on Friday for another Fun Friday post!

  1. I am loving all of these! I portioned out the banana bread for snacks at work, but breakfast would definitely work (I'm going to take a break from oatmeal next week... It has been three weeks straight. Ha ha!).

    The salad looks so vibrant, full of health and delicious! I need to try those snap pea crisps...

  2. I avoid tomatoes in the winter too. I don't even think winter tomatoes count as tomatoes! That banana bread looks delicious!

    1. They are so gross in the winter. The banana bread definitely made up for it!

  5. Mealy tomatoes are the worst! I am a big fan of grilled cheese with daiya, but i never think to do the same thing with pb&j. Sounds amazing!

    1. Hi Allysia!! Yes, mealy tomatoes are disgusting! I can't wait until they are back in season. Definitely try a grilled pb and banana, I think you'll like it!
