Every Wednesday there’s this fun party
About bloggers’ eats, both junk and healthy.
It’s hosted by a cool chick named Jenn,
Whose spunk will never run out ’til God knows when.
Some people call it WIAW (wee-aw), because it’s “What I Ate Wednesday,”
But since I’m such a huge a rebel, I’m showing what I ate on Monday.
Just like Maria, we’ll start from the very beginning, a very good place to start.
Cookie dough cereal with bananas and sunflower seed butter; adding blueberries was also quite smart.
I believe I also had half a nectarine,
But the photo is nowhere to be seen.
My midday meal happened late in the afternoon,
Since I woke up super late and a normal lunchtime would be too soon.
So after some yoga and chores, I ate a delicious meal,
With simple ingredients, supah fresh, and supah real.
{Except the ketchup I added to the eggs afterwards.}
A monster spring mix salad, in a bowl the size of my head,
And a toasty wheat roll with avocado and perfect scrambled eggs.
Since I always need cheese in life, I also had some brie
Atop my favorite crackers, Wheat Thins, slightly sweet and so crispy.
I had quite a few— too many to count
Later on, the same thing happened with these peanuts
I had three times this amount.
{Sweet and Salty Valencia Peanuts from Costco!}
I took a walk and visited Daliza
Because I always like to see her (say that in a British accent so it rhymes with Daliza).
Despite a late lunch and lots of snacking,
I was hungry for dinner pretty early, and my food’s flavor was not lacking.
I had leftover pasta salad with extra parmesan cheese
Plus a couple ravioli Mom cooked up, which made me quite pleased.
I used to be afraid of all these carbohydrates. I thought it would make me fat in my sleep.
How foolish that conception was, for without pasta today, I would weep.
Some veggies were thrown in there for nutrients and fun
Hey look, I could still take a picture at night by the light of the sun!
After going on a lovely evening walk with mom and dad,
I was ready for a sweet treat that’s tasty and rad
It was peanut butter banana soft serve, cool and creamy.
It’s incredibly easy to make, and it always tastes so dreamy.
I ate it with a side of Greek yogurt, because would you expect anything else?
It added a lovely tanginess, plus some extra protein for myself.
Since I’m basically nocturnal and I stay up pretty late,
I needed a little something to satisfy and satiate.
Of course, I turned to a trusty ol’ classic that never fails me:
Dried figs and Greek yogurt, the best snack that ever could be.

That concludes my day of yummy eats. I hope you enjoyed!
My poetry skills are terrible, and my brain is starting to become void.
So tell me:
Are you a good poet?
Fun fact: I won a national pro-life poetry contest in 8th grade (those skills were not reflected here today…), so I got to go to Washington D.C. to be honored for it. I met Dr. Alveda King, who is Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece!
What has been your favorite snack recently?
Daily Moves and Grooves 
I like this poem, it’s fun! I guess I wouldn’t even be able to write such a good one 😉 I hate poetry… I kinda don’t get it. DOesn’t strike me or anything. (I like song lyrics though which is poetry in some way!?)
On Sunday evening I went for a walk with my mum too, it was so nice 🙂 I was so sad to leave home again (so I stayed one more night and skipped the first class one Monday, whoops)
I liked to snack on those paleo cookie dough bites (my version of Arman’s recipe) over the last few days but they’re gone now, so I have to snack on veggies again as I always do. Cucumber, tomatoes, carrot sticks. Love it!
Thanks, Ann! 🙂
Hey, sometimes family time is just more important than class, eh? I still need to try Arman’s cookie dough bites too!
this is so creative of you i love it! I’m a terrible poet haha i use to think I was good in like 5th grade
Elementary/middle schoolers always seem to have more creative minds, don’t ya think? 😉
Oh hey there, Dr.Seuss.
I’ve been digging pasta salads recently after seeing all you guys up north embracing them with your Summer weather…I don’t have the weather excuse but I’ll pretend.
I want to pretend it’s autumn here and have roasted brussels sprouts again.
lol! i do enjoy writing poems and my sister does, too. we write poems when we have to give speeches for weddings, showers, etc!
That’s so sweet! Rhyming things make speeches 10x cuter 😉
Love it Alison! such a fun way to mix things up!
Awesome poem! I suck at making poems, I just aim to make everything rhyme :).
Whoa you have some serious poet skills !! 💁 I’m pretty sure it would take me a year to write something like this🙈 side note:you’d probably make an excellent rapper with those poetry skills 😜
That pasta salad looks so good…actually everything looks so good😉
I’ve been snack on lots of Greek yogurt, peaches with almond butter and cinnamon, and graham crackers. How’s that for random?!
Have a great day Alison!
Thanks! Haha, maybe I really should have rapped my speech then 😉
Mmmm that sounds like a heavenly yogurt bowl combo to me!
What a fun way to present your day of eats. Plus, I love everything Sound of Music so I’m digging the reference. Congrats on winning the poetry contest, that’s wonderful. I think we have similar taste buds, I go through Greek yogurt at an alarming rate.
My recent snack obsession has been adding avocado to my smoothies. So, so good! I love avocados but wasn’t sold on the idea of avocado in a smoothie. I was missing out. I t adds a delightful “ice cream” feel to the smoothie.
Oh yes, Greek yogurt doesn’t stand a chance in my house! I’ve seen people add avocado in their smoothies before, and I bet it adds such a wonderful creaminess. But the I always just end up adding nut butter and I forget about the avocado… 😉
OH. MY. GOSH. You are great. hahahaha. I actually don’t mind writing poems- well, rhyming ones. I can’t for the life of me write a poem that actually has meaning and a bigger picture behind it.
Great eats too 🙂 🙂
LOL yeah I don’t know if I can do those convoluted, deep poems. I would just sound silly.
That fig looked like a chestnut, and it made me a little sad because I want chestnuts now, and I only get them once a year, around the holidays!!!! Mmmm so good! 🙂
I’ve never had a chestnut before I don’t think! Maybe water chestnuts.
OMG jump on those chestnuts roasted on an open fire – ASAP! 😉
You would think I would have tried that living so close to NYC all these years, right?!
I enjoyed reading this! I remember when I would write poems as class assignments, or in cards for my loved ones. This definitely inspired me to start writing poems again! (mine are real silly and somewhat lame but it’s fun to do!) Good job there 😉
I’ve been snacking on fruits and bread these days!
Thanks, Jun! I just wanted to spice up the usual WIAW 😉
Fruit + bread— always good.
