And it’s Wednesday again. So what else could that mean except WIAW! Am I the only one who thinks of the Spongebob episode where Spongebob is the hall monitor and runs around yelling weeewoo weeewoo when I read WIAW in my head?
Okay good thing I’m not alone here. 😉
I didn’t feel like packing lunch today and planned on eating the yogurt and granola that I have at work for a quick snack during the day instead of a real lunch, but when I heard the girls were ordering from Lunchbox I had to join. Lunchbox is a little hole in the wall deli in Brooklyn, but they make some amazing salads and sandwiches. Their salad menu is basically a long list of ingredient where you pick what you wanna eat. Â I got mixed greens, beets, tomato, cucumber, avocado, corn, grilled chicken, and croutons with a side of balsamic vinaigrette.
Let me also tell you that this was a small salad. I’m pretty sure a large could feed a family of four.
Dinner was an experiment that turned out pretty darn good. Munchkin is a huge fan of sweet potato fries and I often but the Alexia brand fries and bake them up for him, but let’s be real, they ain’t cheap and the thought of frozen foods kinda turns me off. So I figured I could make my own fries out of sweet potatoes and turnips, bake em and freeze them for later.
They turned out pretty fantastic, once I turned up the heat to 500 degrees, like Tommy suggested. He also told me I need to write that exact time to prove that he was right. Boys are silly. 😉 We ate the sweet potato fries along side black bean veggie burgers that I had frozen after our BBQ a few weeks ago. I topped him with cheese, some spring mix and cherry tomatoes. Dinner = amazing! I need to make another batch of these burgers again. They are so good and really quick and easy to thaw out for dinner.
After dinner we headed out to Target to pick up some essential, read diapers. Note to self: Potty training officially begins after finals! Since the nice people at Starbucks have put one of their cafes in every Target in the world, I was sucked in and got this. So good. When I started thinking, I don’t think I had a frappucinno since college, not law school, college. It was creamy and caramelly and I enjoyed every last sip.
It also gave me the energy for a late night study sesh after the Munchkin was fast asleep.
Have a great Hump Day!
What’s the best thing you ate today? What’s your favorite place to go for lunch?
That's a beautiful wafflewich!! Kevin just told me they are having 1/2 price frappucino happy hour like next week-ish at Sbux between like 3-5!!!!! I have to go. I told him to say he had a work meeting and sneak out for a bit. Lol.
Hahah he definitely needs to sneak out! Starbucks doesn't do the 1/2 price thing often,so it's a legitimate excuse if you ask me. 😉
Happy WIAW! I want waffles after seeing your post.
Love the pics! Breakfast got to be the best meal of the day, can't go wrong with waffles!
Agreed! 🙂
The fries sound tasty! Love your salad…especially with corn and beets on it…Yum!
Mmm waffle wich, yes please to that! And frapuccinos really are great! They are a special occasion thing for me though as they are expensive and I suck them down so fast! haha
I know! When I go to Sbux, I stick to their regular iced coffee because of calories and the price!
That waffle sandwich looks good! I am going to have to try that 🙂 Frapuccinos are such a good treat! I love them.
Starbucks has such delicious frappuccinos. I am quite excited for their half-price promotion that starts on Friday!
I saw the signs for it! I think I need to take a study break to Starbucks next week!
OMG, seeing Spongebob up there just got me so excited! I love him hahah. Cute blog! I'm thinking about starting to participate in WIAW, although what I eat all day is a bit scary hah. Looking forward to more of your posts!
LOL What do you mean what you eat is scary? I let my mind wander after reading that and I thought of some interesting things that could be considered scary. I love me some Spongebob! 🙂
Haha. I mean scary as in unhealthy. I think my office likes to find the worst things to eat for lunch lol…buriritos, burgers, sandwiches bigger than your head. Everyone I see that participates in WIAW seems to eat so well.
I'm pretty sure you confused your adjectives because your scary sounds like my delicious! I feel like eating well is very relative. There are days where I eat salads for lunch, but there are days where we order burgers the size of our heads with onion rings! Plus, don't let someone else's opinion keep you from doing something you want. Life's too short not to WIAW. (sorry for the corniness in that last sentence )
SWEET POTATO FRIES. Thank you, I'm going grocery shopping in a bit and I'm glad I saw this – reminder! Yes!
Haha, now I will think of Spongebob every WIAW thanks to you! 😀
All your eats look so yummy! I REALLY wish we had those frozen waffles here.. I miss them so much!
Haha, I don't know if I should say sorry or you're welcome! No frozen waffles is Germany? But you get the street cart waffles with fruit and whipped cream which blow the frozen kind out of the water!
