Another week, another What I Ate Wednesday. As always, thanks to Jenn for hosting the weekly link party. To see more WIAW from other bloggers, visit Peas & Crayons.
Since I’ve been showing you a lot of Sundays and Mondays, I thought I’d switch things up this week and show you what I ate Saturday instead.
This past Saturday was one of the most fun in recent memory. I seem to be on a roll this month (we’ll see about next week, when I’m working at the hospital…)—thank you for being awesome, October!
I promised myself I’d keep the day work-free, so I started off with another donation-based yoga class, ran some errands, and then met up with some lovely ladies at the Cloisters, where I’d never been, despite living in NYC almost 5 years. I ran home to write some emails and paint my nails before dinner and drinks in Astoria. I may have gotten home a little before midnight, but I’d had such a great, full day, I went to bed super-satisfied—and worn out from all that walking! I enjoyed a lot of good food, too. Not having to rely on the hospital cafeteria is nice.
Breakfast: Pancake topped with non-fat ricotta & homemade cranberry sauce; nectarine slices 
Lunch: Homemade bean soup w/ extra kale & sprouted grain toast w/ hummus & roasted red pepper 
Snack: Green smoothie (skim milk + xanthan gum + 1/2 frozen banana + spinach + ice) with a little cereal on top 
Dinner: Miso Ramen at Hinomaru Ramen in Astoria; later, some red wine at a nearby bar 
Snack: chopped granny smith apple w/ cinnamon & pumpkin pie spice + ~1 tbsp oats, microwaved ~3 minutes and topped with more cranberry sauce 
Do you try to leave certain days “work-free?” How about turning in early on a Saturday night? What was the best thing you ate last weekend?
Loving all your meals.
I don’t have the slightest idea what the best thing I ate this past weekend, but I do know that I had some amazing apple pie overnight oats this morning for breakfast
That sounds really good!
Yummmm cranberry sauce! And yes I always dedicate Saturdays to being work-free.
I made it a lot more tart this time by mistake (used a lot more cranberries and more lemon juice) and kind of loved it. I have a sour tooth.
Ooo yum, that homemade soup looks fantastic. My favorite food lately has been acorn squash! Great day of food!
Homemade soup is one of my favorite things this time of year—total comfort food. I haven’t had acorn squash in forever, even though I love it. Thanks for the reminder : )
I’m totally a grandma and LOVE going to bed early on Saturday nights
I love how almost all your food is in bowls, I find myself only eating out of bowls a lot so in my opinion bowls >>> plates!
Some days it’s just a lot easier to eat out of bowls—whenever I use a plate I feel like I have to make it look pretty.
