I am not really a fan of documenting everything I eat throughout the course of a day, but I do like using What I Ate Wednesday to show you some of the things I make and eat throughout the week. I am conscious of what I eat on a daily basis, but I don’t take note of each bite, so this is the best way for me to show you all some of my creations! We tried a bunch of new things throughout the past week.
First up, one of Trav’s favorites that I’ve created so far:
Turkey burger (just ground turkey with some spices) and carrot fries topped with a bit of cheese. Travis thinks that he likes carrot fries almost as much as regular fries. I’ll take that as a win. All I did was slice carrots, lightly coat in olive oil with some salt and pepper, and bake on 450 for 10-12 minutes until tender. As someone who doesn’t really enjoy carrots, I actually liked these. Which is better than just tolerating my veggies! I’d never made either of these things before, definitely going to be added to our meal plans in the future!
Another first: finally using my Stonehouse 27 sauce that I won last year in a giveaway.
We had no idea what to expect with this, but we went on a limb and made a little bit of Indian at home. We smothered some chicken and peppers with the sauce, and I also made some brown rice.
Like the action shot thanks to Travis? haha
It definitely exceeded my expectations! That actually is Travis’ plate; I had next to no rice and a nice side salad. But the flavor from the chicken and sauce was really tasty!
Moving on. I used yesterday to clean out the fridge the best I could. I started by making eggs muffins for the week with spinach.
Next, I made a giant salad with some leftover pork for lunch. With a Diet Dr. Pepper, which I am in love with. I used a lot of veggies that were nearing the end of their life. And cheese. Duh.
Dinner was a his/hers kind of thing. Which is also a first. I’ve never really planned a meal two different ways. We had spaghetti and turkey meatballs, but I had spaghetti squash and Travis had a hodge podge of different noodles.
Looks may be deceiving… my plate is actually smaller than his, but it looks like I ate about 3 spaghetti squashes total based on that picture haha.
The last thing I did was dip my strawberries into the end of a Chobani container and froze them. Plan on eating them for dessert this week! I knew my strawberries were looking a little rough, so I finished those off, too! Hope they’re yummy. But how can you go wrong with a little Cho?
Fridge looks much better, and my belly sure is happy!
Thanks to Jenn as always for letting us gawk at each other’s meals!
What is your favorite way to eat yogurt?
How about carrots?
Those little egg bites look great!

Putting cheese on anything makes it taste 100 times better! Those chobani bites looks delicious! (:
Lots of great eats girls!
he gobbles them up!
I’ve been making “fries” a lot lately, butternut squash, sweet potatoes,…I have yet to try carrot fries, adding it to my list! Sadly, my hubby isn’t big on the fry imitators, but Aiden is!
I also made spaghetti squash this week too & it was a total HIT!
I loved it and JJ said it was good too! 
definitely a win-win here!
I’ve never made yogurt covered strawberries, but that’s a great idea!
& those spinach egg muffins….YUM!! I need to make this ASAP!

The carrot fries are amazing! Definitely try them!
Frozen chobani covered strawberries? Now that’s a cool idea! I don’t usually document everything I eat either. It seems way too crazy to me and I’m usually so hungry that I forget anyways haha

Finally someone who fully admits they are conscious of what they eat. Bloggers who are like…oh yeah I just listen to my body and eat whatever is around. BS LOL, you clearly have some sort of daily plan. Anyways-enjoyed this post.

Thanks, dear!
If I wasn’t conscious this would be all ice cream and cookies. And pizza. That would be me not consciously eating. And being 400 pounds.
I used to make carrot fries in college ALL of the time. We totally could have been besties haha! Those strawberries look good! Probably really good if you use the Vanilla Chocolate Chunk! Mmm.
SHIPPENSBURG SWEATPANTS, FTW!

YESSSS Raider pride haha. And vanilla chocolate chunk would be perfect! I threw the strawberries into a smoothie yesterday and it worked perfectly.
You have made so much yummy food! I cannot tell you how inspiring this is! I still need to get myself that darn recipe binder.

Lift, Sleep, Eat recently posted…My First Post…WIAW!
Thanks, girl! I do love carrots in stews…added veggies, yes please!
Those little egg muffies look so good! And perfectly portioned – great for grabbing out of the fridge in a rush.

Exactly! That’s exactly what I’ve been doing!
Oh yummy! I bet your tummy is happy for sure!

I’m loving the idea with the yogurt and strawberries, mmmm. It of course reminds me of chocolate covered strawberries but a bit healthier. It’s nice to have different options!
Tessa @ Amazing Asset recently posted…Hey, It’s OK!
Everything looks yummy! And I LOVE Dr. Pepper, it’s my weakness.
I love chobani, just eating it as yogurt but strawberries dipped in it would be AMAZING!

Nik, been reading avidly lately and I wanted to tell you to try turkey burgers as a quesadilla burger. I always add them to the meal plan if I get stuck and they always go over great with both Josh and Tiny Man. Especially if you like Mexican anyways.
Ohhh that sounds awesome! Do you have a recipe for that?

As a matter of fact I do. Easy peasy. Have fun this weekend!! Super jealous.
Yum – the strawberries and yogurt look delicious
What a great idea. I don’t have any strawberries right now but I’ll try it with some banana!
