I’ve got another edition of WIAW for y’all today, except this time we’re mixing it up and doing a day of eats from Sunday. I always found it really funny how the series is called What I Ate WEDNESDAY, but no one ever shows what they eat on Wednesday. Like, Wednesday is this huge mystery day that no blog ever showcases. I should change that and document everything I eat today so I can do a real What I Ate Wednesday for you guys next week.
We’ll see if I go through with that!
So Sunday started off with a few pieces pineapple to fuel my Fitness Blender kickboxing and core workout, closely followed by this pumpkin baked oatmeal that I had baked a few days prior.
I ate half a serving (had to share with my mom, *eye roll emoji*), so I bulked it up with a big glob of sunflower seed butter, a big scoop plain Greek yogurt (Fage is my fave), and half a sliced banana.
The forkfuls where I got everything together were pure perfection.
I left the house soon after I was done eating because I had a lot of plans in the city.
First, I accompanied my best friend to get a tattoo, which was super exciting.
We got coffees beforehand to calm our nerves (LOL, makes total sense).
For anyone in NYC, this Gasoline Alley coffee was BOMB.
Then I chugged this smoothie from Two Hands, which was blueberries, banana, acai, cacao, and almond milk. Yummy, but it was basically their acai bowl in smoothie form, and I honestly prefer the experience of eating the acai bowl. I’m just a smoothie bowl girl at my core, ya know?
This was perfect fuel for playing Escape the Room (we escaped, woot) with a few other friends who joined us.
Escaping from imaginary murderers works up quite an appetite, so I gobbled down a Quest bar before hopping on the train.
A couple hours after getting home, it was time for dinner. I made this awesome spaghetti squash recipe, except I added some wild shrimp and seasoned everything with Everything But The Bagel seasoning. On the side, I had some tomato-cucumber salad my mom made dressed with olive oil.
And to finish off the night, I ate a hot slice of this paleo banana bread, which totally hit the spot.
I just realized that I didn’t have a real lunch today, which is not ideal, but happens more often than I care to admit. I guess multiple snacks are more conducive to running around NYC than solid meals :p
Or something like that.
Linking up with Laura for What I Ate Wednesday!

Hi Nicole! Good eats! I’m with you in that I prefer my smoothie in a bowl or in a total acai bowl form with some extra crunch around it. Just makes it seem more like a meal than a drink. 🙂 Happy Wednesday!
Nicole Rosalyn says
Exactly!! So much more satisfying with spoons involved 😉
Chris says
I’m not so sure if being greeted as a cheese puff is a good thing or not. I guess it depends on your feelings towards cheese puffs, huh?
Does beer count for the best thing I’ve consumed recently? Because that’s what is coming to mind! Dogfish Head 90 Minute on tap. So good!
Nicole Rosalyn says
I prefer cheese puffs as a greeting rather than as a food 😉
I suppose beer does count, and I totally respect that. Had an awesome Angry Orchard cider the other day that hit the spot.
