Yesterday was the best kind of Tuesday – a no work Tuesday! Even though the weather wasn’t great, I made the best of it and Munchkin and I had a great day. I started off the day with a quick run – 2 miles in 27 minutes.
And since it is Wednesday, I will be sharing my yummy eats thanks to Jenn and WIAW!
My after run breakfast needed to be something cold to cool me down. Cottage cheese, farm fresh strawberries and Love Grown Sweet Cranberry Pecan.
After breakfast, Munchkin and I braved the rain and headed out to Long Island to go to the Long Island Children’s Museum. We had an awesome time and had snack time while there. Two Clif Kid Z bars – one for me, one for Munchkin.
I also drank a Cheribundi juice on the way home. It was my first time trying Cheribundi and I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted great and I will be picking up some other varieties of the juice to try out.
After the museum and running a new errands, I came home famished. I wanted something warm, quick and yummy. I had been craving quinoa for quite some time, so I threw together a quick quinoa and veggie dish – quinoa, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, bell peppers with some soy sauce and spices. It totally hit the spot!
After Tommy got home from work, we headed out to run some more errands. I had to stop at work to pick up some paperwork that I have to bring to court in the morning and we did some shopping for my Foodie Pen Pals package. Rachael, get ready! We had to fuel for our errand running in the form of Starbucks iced coffee.
We stopped by Stanley Pierogi to stock up on pierogis and enjoyed some Potato and Spinach pierogi for dinner. Yummy!
Dessert came in the form of Justin’s peanut butter cups. I am a huge fan of all the Justin’s nut butter and these PB cups do not disappoint.
There was also a banana eaten somewhere during the day, but it didn’t get a picture before getting in my belly. Overall, I had a day of pretty good eats and snacks. Sensible snacking achieved!
Have an awesome Wednesday!
What’s the best thing you ate yesterday?
The quinoa mix sounds like a totally delicious combo!

I never thought of using cottage cheese that way for breakfast. I love it and it sounds so good combined with the strawberries and granola. Thanks for the suggestion!

I\’m glad you found it helpful! Eating healthy is a lot easier and tastier than most people would think!
Yumm the quinoa looks amazing! Also, I have heard those juices are delicious-I will have to try one soon!
The juice was so good. I heard good things about it and bought it on a whim. It actually stood in my fridge for about two weeks before I tried it, but I need to get more!
I’m half Polish (and Italian on my fathers side) and can’t tell you the last time I have pirogi’s! You are making me crave them…and with spinach nonetheless! I want! I need!

I love pierogi, they are one of my favorite comfort foods! I was so surprised to find the spinach ones because they aren\’t really the traditional pierogi type, but they were so yummy!
I love cooking with quinoa! It is so versatile, hot/cold, plain/loaded with just about anything.

I agree. Quinoa had become one of my fav foods. I am yet to try it sweet, but I have seen quite a few recipes floating around for sweet qunioa.
