My fingers and toes are little icicles in this house! My dad tries to set the thermostat really lowwww (like 63 degrees) to save energy, which I’m cool with until my feet start to lose feeling even when I’m wearing socks. Just a little warmer, pa?

At least the cooler weather makes me feel more legit when I eat things like pumpkin, hot oatmeal, and hot soup. This past week has included all of those things, so here we go with another WIAW thanks to Jenn! Again, these are just a bunch of meals/snacks that I’ve noshed on throughout the whole week in no particular order, not just in a day. I go against the rules. I also ate a lot of strange things this week, but of course I thought they were all supah tasty…otherwise I wouldn’t be eating them! Thus, I’m also gonna join in on Laura’s Strange But Good fun.
Breakfasts
Pumpkin peanut butter brown rice “pudding.” #Strangebutgood. I just microwaved 3/4 c. brown rice with 1 tbsp pb, ~1/4c. milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ~1/3c. pumpkin puree. Topped with half a sliced banana and a drizzle of maple syrup!
Rice krispies+Whole Foods PB Balls+banana with sunflower seed butter
Gina’s cookie dough cereal with raspberries and banana
MY #1 FAVORITE BREAKFAST EVER. Overnight oats in a sunflower seed butter jar. Oh. so. scrumptious.
Lunches
Most of my lunches are at school or dance and have consisted of yummy chicken or turkey sandwiches with an apple on the side.
Snacks
My mom picked up pumpkins and other funny-looking squashes to roast, and I have probably eaten my weight in pumpkin the past few days. We didn’t roast that really funky looking squash in the front though. She figured it would work a lot better as a decoration. Besides eating the pumpkin by itself, I’ve also tried eating it with hummus and even Greek yogurt mixed with pepita sunseed butter. Delicious.
#strangebutgood
The usual yogurt bowl with banana and nut butter. Classic and no-fail.
I tried one of these pumpkin spice cookies that I made for our senior class bake sale last week. From a box like a champ.
Still lots of these Costco nut and seed bars. So good!
Dinners
My mom asked me one night to monitor the split pea soup she was boiling. I was doing my homework in the meantime, so I didn’t check it until it was literally split pea chutney….oops. I still ate it like that though. It was really good on toast! I definitely should have just added more hot water like my mom did after she saw my damage. Oh well. Split pea chutney was #strangebutgood.
Not even close to soup.
Another dinner was a veggie/cheese wrap that fell apart in the panini maker + BBQ chicken on a bed of spinach
Avocado on an English muffin, salmon, and brussels sprouts
Huge salad with brussels sprouts, pumpkin, and salmon
Alright, so there is a sample of my eats for this week, and as you can see, there were many funky food combinations. I never would have been quite this adventurous with my food in the past, but reading blogs has aided in the evolution of my taste buds 🙂
Also, my mom bought my brother and me a big pumpkin for carving! She also bought a couple bags Halloween candy for next week, from which we picked out all the Reese’s (for Ben and me) and Almond Joys (for da ‘rents). We might not finish all of them, but we’re keepin’ a stash just for now 😉
Love our Reese’s.
Happy Wednesday!
So tell me: What are some strange but good things you like to eat? What’s your favorite candy?
Reese Cups are pretty much my favorite candy. I’m not a huge candy girl…now, steer me toward the cake and brownies, that’s a whole different story!
Yeah Reese’s and Baby Ruth’s are really the only candies I like to eat, but desserts….dangerous.
ditto! love my reeses and love PB. okay i need to try that pb rice! oh my!
It’s so good!
Peanut m&s, starburst, twix,frozen snickers, and any form of dark chocolate! I used to give all my almond joys to my parents as too!!
All your food delcious! Great strange minds think alike;)♥♡
I love all your strange eats! They all look delicious to me. Especially the breakfasts – that’s my favorite meal. 🙂
Same! Thanks so much for stopping by 🙂
That brown rice pudding you had for breakfast looks amazing. I’ve been trying to switch up the grains that I’ve been eating for breakfast, and rice is one that’s still on my list. And girl… I feel ya on eating your weight in pumpkin/squash lately. Have you ever tried it with PB/AB? One of my favourite combos, for sure.
I love the texture and heartiness of brown rice–perfect for breakfast in my opinion! And I should totally try pumpkin with AB or PB. Perhaps my before bed snack? 😉
I’ve had ketchup on pretty much everything – quinoa + spinach, and then almond butter and pumpkin butter on my pumpkin banana bread. Otherwise, not too strange 🙂
Nut butter on pumpkin or banana bread is like a MUST for me!
