Hello Everyone. Happy What I Ate Wednesday! I am sharing my meals from last Saturday. Finals are quickly approaching so my weekends are very low key. I hope you enjoy my day. Thank you to Jenn at Peas and Crayons for hosting the WIAW.
This is what I ate:
Breakfast (7:30am)
I started the day with coffee, before heading out for breakfast. We went to Euro Pane in Pasadena and I had my favorite Egg Salad Sandwich. What a treat. 🙂
Lunch (11:45am)
Homemade french onion soup.
PM Snacks (2:00pm)
Beer bread and kale.
Dinner (5:30pm)
Taco pie with avocado.
Dessert (6:30pm)
I wanted something sweet badly and I was inspired by Shannon at Healthiful Balances Banana Bread Cookies. At the moment, I am working on cleaning out my over flowing pantry, so I wanted to work with what I had. I sort of experimented with bananas, almond meal, sunflower butter, vanilla, baking soda and chocolate chips. My cookies ended up tasting great but looking terrible because they came out of the oven green. After some research, I found baking soda or powder react with the chlorophyll in the sunflower butter turning the cookies green. 🙂
Thank you for stopping by. I hope your day was full of healthy meals!

That lunch sandwich looks incredible…I’ve never seen a sandwich like that before. And a quick question about kale: how do you prepare it? Are they chips are do massage it with a marinade. Unfortunately in Germany I only find frozen kale so I’m always looking for new recipes and inspiration.
Hi Antonia, Thank you it is one of my favorite sandwiches.
Here is a link to my kale recipe https://jenmijenmi.com/freds-lemon-and-ginger-kale-with-sesame-tofu-steak/
I guess we are lucky we grow kale in the garden and it grows like a weed, our only problem is snails.
Egg salad for breakfast? Never thought of it, but it sounds (and Looks!) delicious! Have a great day, Jennifer!
Thanks you. Same to you. 🙂
That egg salad looks awesome. I think I am going to have to make some tofu egg salad today!
Thank you. It is one of my favorite treats. 🙂
Oh my, your breakfast plate looks delicious! Have a great day & good luck on all your upcoming finals =)
Thank you it was delicious. Thanks I can not wait until they are over. 🙂
Good luck with your studying and finals! I have some of that coming up too.
And while sunbutter does taste fantastic in baked goods, yes a green color is an unfortunate result. Yours don’t look nearly as bad as some I’ve seen though. Haha. 😀
Gook luck with your finals too.
Thanks, live and learn. 🙂
I’m suddenly in the mood for egg salad 🙂
Me too! 🙂
Happy WIAW!
I started my day with coffee, too. Two cups actually…
I’ve been busy with finals too. Good luck on yours! I know you’ll do great!
I usually have two cups of coffee too, but I am trying to get down to just one a day. 🙂 Thank you and good luck to you too. I know you will do well too!
I love French onion soup with a slice of chunky bread and melted cheese. Mmm. Yummy.
Your breakfast egg salad sandwich also looks tasty.
Me too. I have been in the mood for soup.
Thank you, it is my favorite. 🙂
YUM! French onion soup!!!!
I know. 🙂
Egg salad…..that looks delicious!
Ha, a lot of my creations turn green too, but I use a lot of spinach. Either way, if it’s healthy and tastes good…bring on the green!!
Thanks, it was.
You are right, if it tastes good and is health I guess it does not matter. 🙂
Yum – beer bread!! Your eats look delicious. Good luck with all your finals!
