Hi Friends!
I wasn’t going to do a WIAW post this week, but I didn’t want to let down my girl J$.
Breakfasts were a little different this week. I ran out of cereal (gasp) and milk (double gasp!) so i had to branch out. I enjoyed ab&j toast several days in a row.
For a snack, I’ve been enjoying my yogurt bowls.
Lunches included lots of staples. My favorite whole wheat oatmeal pancakes (i added chia seeds for the first time and loved them even more), smoothies, veggies, peanut butter and banana sandwiches and some homemade chia jam! It was my first time making it and I really liked it! More on that to come once I finalize the recipe for those scone/biscuit things it’s on. They’re a work in progress!
Dinners were on-point this week! Veggie packed and delicious! Crockpot chickpea and veggie curry, veggie & black bean quesadillas, fish tacos (which I recreated after having them at BJ’s Brewhouse over the weekend) and shrimp pad thai (which I recreated at home after going out for thai on Friday and not getting any veggies besides bean sprouts in my pad thai!). Mine was way better 🙂
Oh, and I also bought a 10 pound box of sweet potatoes at Costco.
For just the two of us.
And for dessert: Puppy Chow Almonds. Enough said.
That’s all friends. Happy Wednesday. It’s my first official day of nothing to do on spring break, so you can find me in the kitchen 🙂
I’ll leave you with this:
If you don’t think it’s laugh out loud funny, you clearly don’t have any of these:

A whole box of sweet potatoes?! I need to get a Costco card for that reason alone.
The strawberry rhubarb spread looks so delicious! Where’d you find it?
i got it in my foodie penpals package last month. it came from florida!
The almonds look addicting!
That’s a lot of sweet potatoes! Enjoy them 😀 I see lots of almonds in your eats! I love them too! I’ve tried smooth almond butter but never crunchy! I’d bet that they taste better..
all your eats look delicious! i haven’t had crunchy almond butter before but since i’ve always eaten creamy nut butters i’m not sure if i’d like it or not.
i’m just now starting to like crunchy. never did before!
You must spend ages working on the cool photo collages! Seriously need to pick myself up some almond butter!
the collages are the fun part! and they really don’t take that long. so fun!
I need me a photocollage TUTORIAL 🙂
they’re so easy!!! and fun 🙂
thank you for the special shout out! 🙂 I love your photo collages also, they look so nice!
I didn’t find anything strange about that box of sweet potatoes. It just made me think, “Oh, I’m running low” because I only have TWO pounds in my kitchen right now. 🙂
PS- I have been dabbling in yogurt messes (with Lactaid in tow) a bit, and oh how I’ve missed them…
so good right?! the combinations are endless~
I’m a big fan of those photo collages too – beautiful! Oh and that 10 pound box of sweet potatoes? Totally necessary.
Ooh the strawberry rhubarb jam sounds so good!!
I need to look for the sweet potatoes next time I am at Costco! Great find! 😉
definitely check. this is the first time i’d seen them at mine!
I’ve heard really good things about that almond butter – does it say anything on the label about being manufactured in a facility with nuts/peanuts? 🙂
Also I wish I had a big box of sweet potatoes! I only have 2 right now and I’m having trouble rationing them until I go grocery shopping on Saturday haha!
i’ll check the label for yoU!
Thanks girl! It’s so hard to find almond butters that don’t have a chance of contamination with other nuts! 😛
Crunchy almond butter?!?! I must find that…why have I never seen any? I must shop in boring stores!
i’d never seen it either until i found it online!!
Delish eats! Happy WIAW 🙂
Hehe “Daily Yogurt Mess” = story of my life! 🙂
Oh yum! I’m dying to try some of Nicole’s stuff from Pure Bliss Eats, it all sounds so good! PS. now I want a yogurt bowl – haven’t had one of those in ages!
get on it girl! they’re a daily staple for me
Wow, some awesome eats!! I love all of this! Especially recreating pad thai…do share?!
i have the recipe on my recipe page from last year. this time i halved the ingredients for the sauce and added it to the mix instead of serving on the side.
Always yummy! I love the Puppy Chow Almonds. Must. do.
hahaha! we have a laser pointer & capone is OBSESSED with it! he starts freaking out whenever we open our junk drawer (that’s where we keep it). he will not stop chasing it even when he’s panting like crazy.
have you made crash hot sweet potatoes before? i followed a recipe that laura (sprint2thetable) linked to a while ago & they were DELICIOUS! 🙂
abner goes crazy over it too!
Crunchy almond butter? Yes please!
i know right?! for some reason i never even knew that existed!
I have puppy chow in my fridge right now, but I never thought to do it with almonds! I’m definitely doing this next time. I almost bought that box of sweet potatoes at Costco, now I regret not getting it. Everything looks amazing!
you should def try the almonds next time and NEVER pass up the sweet potatoes 🙂
I love all of your eats! But especially the almond puppy chow!!
I have to avoid looking at those almonds until after Lent. But Easter morning, they’re on my list! 🙂
haha hope you enjoy them 🙂
Picture overload is not possible! I love foodie pictures!!
Also that cat pic is HILARIOUS! I just babysat my friend’s cat and the thing FLIPS OUT over the laser pointer haha!
Those puppy chow almonds are intriguing…
lazer pointers are a HUGE hit in my house with the cats and the dogs!
As always, your eats look so delicious! I need to try some of that Puppy chow!
Too funny, I almost skipped WIAW this week too – glad neither one of us missed on the action. 🙂
Love the “red dot overtime” and I’m not even a cat person!
so funny right?! i literally laughed out loud. i love when i find things that are that funny to me 🙂
so happy you recommended me some almond butter 😀 I should order it!!!!!
How do you guys all take such nice pictures? Mine are awful, even when I use our good camera instead of my phone LOL.
There are four of us and I’m pretty sure we couldn’t use up a costco sized box of sweet potatoes. Just sayin’.
i feel like the pictures aren’t always that great but the apps help make them look fun!
Can I just say that I love you for buying a 10 pound bag of sweet potatoes at Cosco? 🙂 As for the crunchy almond butter, I really, really, really want to like almond butter but just don’t. 🙁 I’m a plain-Jane when it comes to nut butters and love peanut butter the best.
peanut butter is definitely still my fav. and i can’t eat almond butter plain, i need jam or something with it!
I see a lot of sweet potatoes in your future! Costco does that to you:)
I just voted for you! I also love Swanson’s they have the best prices ever
i know!!! and i love how many things i can find on their website!
Man a 10 lb bag of sweet potatoes… that is worth the Costco membership alone! I definitely would have picked the almond butter with the raccoon too. I am a sucker for labels. I’m the worst with wine.
omg me too! label picker all the way!
LOVE my Costco membership!
me too! especially when i find new things like this!
I can’t wait to read about the chia jam! I loooove sweet potatoes. My new favorite way to eat them is with peanut or almond butter in the middle! Yummy!
it’s so easy! you should definitely try it! just combine a cup of frozen berries with 2 tbsp chia and a little sweetener, microwave 2 min and let set! might have to wait til after your challenge! or make sugar free
