Today is yet another snow day. Yeah, I don’t even know what school is anymore. Not that I’m complaining! The only thing that concerns me is that I think we have only one more snow day allowed, if any, before we start chipping days off of spring break. That happened last year, and we had to come to school on the Wednesday of spring break……….Not happening again.
Anyway. Onto the WIAW fun hosted by the magnificent Jenn as always! Check out her blog to see tons of other mouthwateringly delicious eats.
For the most part, I enjoy the foods I eat (well, one would hope!) but there are always those foods that are just outstanding. This WIAW, I’m showing you some of the food winners in my book from the past week or so with a food showdown! And since I don’t usually take pictures of my lunches (I’m always eating them on-the-go), there is no lunch showdown. 🙂
Breakfasts
Oatmeal Showdown
The contenders: Blueberry Banana Walnut Love Grown Hot Oats V. hot banana oatmeal in a white chocolate coconut peanut butter jar V. overnight oats V. hot banana oatmeal parfait over Greek yogurt
Winner: Hot banana oatmeal in a white chocolate coconut peanut butter jar!
Yogurt Bowl Showdown
The contenders: Greek yogurt with banana, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepita sunseed butter + random pizza dough pieces with honey and cinnamon V. Greek yogurt with banana, chia, hemp, a strawberry banana muffin, and peanut butter
The winner: The strawberry muffin bowl!
Snacks
I snack a lot, okay?
The contenders: Honey raisin scone V. carrots with jalapeño Greek yogurt dip V. various flavors of Fage Greek yogurt V. dried figs with plain Greek yogurt V. popcorn V. brussels sprouts and carrots with hummus V. freeze-dried edamame V. Taste of Nature nut/fruit bars V. homemade granola bars V. oranges/clementines V. dried pineapple
The winner(s): Scone + dried figs with Greek yogurt
Dinners
The contenders: Farro with avocado tuna salad + spinach V. Salmon with farro and greens V. Super Bowl dinner of brussels, homemade turkey meatballs, and cornbread V. Leftovers of pizza, brussels with hummus, and a clementine (this was actually a lunch)
The winner: Salmon with farro and greens!
So there you have it— some of the knockout dishes that I’ve eaten in the past {two} weeks. Yes, I totally cheated on this WIAW by including some eats from two weeks ago, but I still ate all these things nevertheless!
I guess I should take advantage of this extra day to get ahead on homework, blogging, and such. I always say that I’ll do that, but executing it is a completely different story. Lord, grant me self-discipline.
Happy Wednesday!
So tell me:
What were some “winners” that you ate this week?
Are you a snack monster like me? What is your current favorite snack?

I don’t know how you chose between all our delicious breakfast and dinner dishes. It’s been a couple minutes and I’m still debating which one would win the showdown if I were the judge 🙂
Oh, don’t get me wrong— it was a tough battle for sure! Especially with all those snacks!
All that’s going through my mind is “white chocolate coconut peanut butter”..that must be epic! I could never choose a favorite snack..chocolate is up there though 🙂
It’s a really awesome peanut butter from naturallynutty.com! Highly recommend it. And if I liked chocolate, I’d probably be loving it as well— I have a huge sweet tooth!
Alison, I think you can already guess my favorite snack is ROASTED VEGGIES! Anddddd I am going to have to say my winners were my pumpkin spiced pancakes topped with globs of peanut butter.
I may or may not have got jealous of all your dinners. I must have them. Now. Happy Wednesday lovie!
Mmm pumpkin spiced pancakes with peanut butter sounds AMAZING! I’m jealous of your avocado mozzarella toast!!
I usually top my oatmeal with greek yogurt, but I am going to try the parfait style tomorrow and put it on the bottom…yum! I love the mixture of oatmeal and greek yogurt. Have a great day, Alison!
This was my first time trying oatmeal with Greek yogurt, and I must say that I’m a big fan! Hope you have a wonderful day as well, Paige!
Man, so many yummy things!
I’m definitely a snacker and love yogurt messes, cereal, and quest bars (shocker I know😉) I’m thinking of tackling some homeade granola bars to save some $ and bring back good old wholesome real food!
Have a great day off! Stay warm! And pray I don’t go stir crazy over here🙈😭😜
Same to you, Katie! I’ll keep you in my prayers 😉
Such a cute take on WIAW! But I have to say that pretty much all of the fodos you ate look like winners to me. And girl… I’m probably the biggest snacking fiend out there. Heck, even my lunches are made up of snack plates 😛 What can I say? I like food, so I enjoy being able to graze all day.
Ah yes— snack plates are the best! I agree with you on lunch. It’s such a wonky meal…not my favorite.
Oh YUM. The snack compilation!!!
What does farro taste like? The salmon is calling me…at 7.30am.
It tastes sort of like brown rice except with an even heartier texture, which I love!!
I am SO jealous of your snow days! That’s crazy that you have to make up spring break – we go into summer instead! I think we can have one more day until we have to start making them up. LOVE this idea of a food showdown! I seriously wish I just ate everything you eat. It all looks so yummy!
Oh man— the summer?! I should be grateful I only have to go in for spring break. I found out that there are two more days left in our allowance, so hopefully the weather starts to calm down a bit.
Everything looks fantastic! But more than anything I’m super impressed with your ability to remember to photography everything!
I loved this post! It’s so creative! 😀
I don’t even know how I could possibly choose a winner.. all of your eats look absolutely MOUTHWATERING. I think some sharing of your food concoctions is in order. 😉
Thanks, Natalie! I’d be more than happy to share some food with you.. if you bring some of your delicious wraps and roasted veggies too! 😉
Of course! We’ll be sharing food like there is no tomorrow. 😀
It’s settled! Now to just set up a time and place… 😉
