What I Ate Wednesday {17.4.19}


What I Ate Wednesdays are back...with a twist! I've listened to your feedback and from what I can see you all miss the food posts of what I eat in a day but you also enjoy the outfits of the day, so I decided to combine the two into one. Groundbreaking stuff, am I right?! Hahaha...but seriously I can understand where you're all coming from and I get it. Although I do post WIAWs on Instastories, it's also nice to have something a little more permanent. 

So here's what I ate today as well as my outfit. It finally heated up just enough so I could wear this blouse which was a pretty recent purchase from Warehouse. I also got this pair of white jeans which I bought in my regular size, but it's not my regular jeans brand (I almost always go for 7 for All Mankind, these are JBrand). I'm assuming JBrand runs a bit larger because as soon as I tried them on they were big. I was too scared to exchange them for a smaller size because I didn't want them to be too tight but now that I've worn them quite a few times I realise that unless I puuullll them all the way up so they're in the right position (like in these photos) they eventually end up somewhere around my ankles. Okay, slight exaggeration but they are falling off me and don't look the most flattering! I like jeans to be pretty tight without being uncomfortable if you know what I mean! The shoes were a splurge and are from D&G...kind of like a pre-holiday present to myself if you will! We are going away for next half term and I wanted some cute espadrilles for walking around in that weren't the usual basic nude/brown that I normally go for. I love the colour of these!


Breakfast 8:30am
Onto what I ate during the day; breakfast was no different than probably the last time I posted a What I Ate Wednesday! I'm sorry I'm so boring but this is just my absolute favourite breakfast! If you don't already know, it's 1/2 a cup of sprouted oats, 1 and 1/4 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, cinnamon, raisins and a medjool date cooked on the hob. I also had 1 cup of black coffee and a few hours before this I drank a 900ml bottle of water with my workout. 


Morning Snack 10:30am
I've been on a bit of a Greek yogurt kick lately. For my mid-morning snack I had a bowl of red grapes and some natural Greek yogurt. 


Lunch 1pm
For lunch I was craving a melted cheese sandwich. I normally have something with eggs or avocado but I hadn't had a proper cheese sandwich since I made them for my mum and me last time she was over. I use two slices of organic seeded bread, drizzle both of them in olive oil (the outside), then I spread one half with sticky pickle, cover in grated cheddar cheese and toast in a sandwich press. The olive oil makes it crispy and delicious! Then I added some mixed leaves & baby spinach, beetroot and pickled gherkins along with another 900ml bottle of water. 


Afternoon Snack 3pm
After Eduardo's birthday we have so many baked goods in the house...in fact it's been this way since Alessia's birthday two weeks ago! Just as we got through all of hers, we had a ton left over from Eduardo's Frozen party so I am dutifully making my way through all of the cake, cupcakes and cake pops! Today was a slice of his birthday cake which was absolutely delicious and I'm not even that much of a chocolate fan! I had this massive slice with an almond milk latte. 


Dinner 5:45pm
For dinner I made turkey chilli casserole with turkey mince, kidney beans, chopped tomatoes, white wine, ground cumin, coriander, mango chutney, smoked paprika & tomato paste. We had it with basmati rice and some cheddar cheese on top. Jonathan loves chilli and he thought this was the best one yet! I also drank another 900ml bottle of water (I aim for three a day).

  16. Anna I'm SUPER excited that you've returned to blogging.

    P.S. I know you get hate on having the same breakfast, but you know what? I love it. You got me into eating porridge when was 15 years old and here i am all these years later still eating porridge every morning and even having an instagram dedicated to porridge.
