WHAT I ATE IN A DAY | JANUARY

Hello everyone! So since around last September time, i finally began to share "what i ate in a day" type of posts again after quite some time. Ever since then i have made the commitment to do an updated version at least once a month (occasionally twice). With that in mind for 2018 i have decided to share one of these posts per month, because some if not most of the time what i am eating on a everyday basis isn't too different (breakfast and lunches) except maybe for dinner times. Also if you aren't too sure on what a "what i ate in a day" post is, it is basically a food diary of every single thing you ate on a particular day.

For breakfast i am still loving granola and yogurt now and again in-between having porridge, just to switch things up. Unlike in my previous what i ate post i am switching up the Rachel's organic yogurt for a dairy free alternative, which i actually prefer and this is a vanilla flavor. Just like last time i am having it with granola which has oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, cacao and also some honey. For coffee i had a cappuccino with oat milk in my new Cath Kidston doggy mug, which i got as a gift for Christmas and i love it! 

Lunch time and at the moment in the UK it is absolutely freezing, so i wanted something warming for lunch and something to fill me up for longer. With that in mind i opted for a spinach and chickpea soup, which at first i thought it doesn't look the most appealing thing but it tasted so yummy.

So i always used to have soy milk or almond milk in my coffees/ice coffees, whether i am at home or out and about until recently when i decided to give oat milk a try. Ever since then i am a complete convert, it is just so tasty and i heard they do it at Starbucks as well now. That being said as a mid-afternoon "snack" i just had an iced oat milk latte, to help me get through the rest of the day.

Finally for dinner time i gave something a try that i had never tried before and that is something from the Linda McCartney range, so i was intrigued to give something a go as i have seen so many people having things from the range. I decided to try one of the vegetarian mozzarella burgers which i had with some chilli chutney and pea shoots and i really enjoyed it, i would definitely have it again.

WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY

Hey guys, i hope you are all having an amazing day whatever you were up! So seeing as my last twisted version of "what i ate wednesday" seemed to be a hit, i thought i would do another one for today's post. I hope you all enjoy...

For breakfast just lately i can't get enough of Shreddies, a lot of people thing the original ones are boring but i love them. I had these with Unsweetened Almond Milk which i have got back into having over Soy Milk just recently. I also had a cup of tea.

Seeing as it was Sunday, i think it called for a Sunday Roast. I went to the Elm Tree pub for Sunday Lunch which i literally one of my favourite places to eat. I had Turkey, Potatoes, Stuffing, Yorkshire Pudding, Broccoli and a tiny bit of Gravy. 

For dinner i had two slices of Multi-Seeded Bread toasted topped with Crunchy Peanut Butter and Jam, which looks not so great but it tastes so good!

WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY

Hey guys, i hope you are all having an amazing day whatever you are up to! For today's post i am back with another "What I Ate Wednesday"... well i say Wednesday but i thought i would switch things up and show you something more interesting from the weekend, where i spent Sunday out with my sister having a girly day of shopping, lunch and a movie...

Breakfast was pretty much similar to always, i had porridge with some honey on top and instead of coffee i had a tea, which i have been obsessed with drinking lately.

For lunch we headed to Carluccio's and we ordered some Focaccia bread to go a long with our main but we had no idea it was going to be this big but what i managed of it was so good.. especially dipped into the olive oil.

For my main i had one of my favourite dishes to get at Carluccio's called Pasta Con Funghi, which is egg pappardelle (type of pasta) with a mixture of shiitake, oyster, porcini and button mushrooms. It has the most amazing flavour.

After a little more shopping we decided to head to the cinema to see "Into the Woods" and obviously you can't go to the cinema without having a little popcorn. The film was so good also.

Seeing as we had eaten lunch out earlier i didn't really want anything else after all i was still kind of full from carluccio's and the popcorn, i decided to just have this juice i picked up from m&s.

WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY

Hey guys, i hope you are all having an amazing day whatever you are up to! So for today's post i thought i would kick start things with the first "what i ate wednesday" of the new year...

For breakfast i had one of my new favourite go to breakfasts to have, which is wholegrain multi seeded bread toasted with peanut butter on top. I also had a decaff coffee with soy milk.

If i am being completely honest i have never really been a huge fan of soups but i will have them from time to time. It has come to that stage where you get fed up of having the same thing everyday for lunch and you just want a little change, so i thought i would give this particular soup a try. It is spiced red lentils with smoked bacon and it was actually so yummy, i will definitely be having this particular one again.

For dinner i had this amazing satay chicken cooked on skewers (which i believe is a Gordon Ramsay recipe), served with roasted vegetables which consisted of sweet potato, squash, garlic, peppers and mushrooms.

BLOGMAS DAY TEN: WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY

Hey guys, i hope you are all having an amazing day and welcome to day ten of blogmas! For today's post i thought i would do a "what i ate wednesday" post seeing as i haven't done one of these in quiet a while now...

For breakfast i had two slices of m&s's wholemeal bread toasted with some crunchy peanut butter which is my favourite thing to have on toast. I also had a filter coffee (i can't remember the brand) but it was so good and i had that with soy milk.

I went into town with my mum and we stopped off at Costa for some lunch, well when i say lunch we just ended up having some cake. We shared two cakes so we split them half and half, one was a cherry and almond muffin (which was my favourite) and a salted caramel chocolate cake.

To drink i had one of my festive favourite drinks from Costa which is the Brownie Hot Chocolate and i had this made with Soy milk obviously.

For dinner i had homemade Chicken Enchiladas with Mushrooms, Peppers and Onion.

WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY

For breakfast i actually had something completely different for a change. Homemade fruit loaf (toasted) with Nutella on, so yum!

For lunch i was in town with my mum and we went to Costa. I had a White Chocolate and Raspberry Muffin and an Americano Coffee. I know it's not really a proper lunch but it did the job.

For dinner we had another recipe from the Hairy Dieters book like last week but this time we had the Lamb, Spinach and Potato Curry served with Rice. This was so good!

WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY

Today i had something a little different than i have usually been having. Quaker Oats so Simple Porridge topped with Currants and Cinnamon. To drink i had a cup of tea rather than a coffee.

For lunch i had a Ciabatta Roll with Turkey and Chili Sauce, whilst on the laptop obviously.

For a mid afternoon snack i have been obsessed with having these, the Go Ahead Chocolate Thins Orange. They are so good, if you haven't tried them already you need to go ahead and do so (ha ha i made a joke).

For dinner surprise, surprise i had pasta again. This is Rigatoni with Meatballs and a Tomato Sauce, the recipe is from the Hairy Dieters book SO GOOD!

WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY

For breakfast i had something a little different than usual but not that different. Crunchy Nut Cornflakes with Soy Milk, topped with Dried Currants and Cranberry's.

I had lunch a little later than i usually did today. I had an Italian Roll with Turkey and then some of these new Deli Market Pita Chips from Walkers which were Garlic and Mediterranean Herbs flavour, they are so fricking good i highly recommend trying them out. 

Dinner time and surprise, surprise it's pasta again ha ha. This time i am having Linguine Carbonara topped with Smoked Bacon and Cracked Black Pepper.

WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY

For breakfast i had pretty much the same as always but this time i had Bitesize Shredded Wheat topped with Currants and Soy Milk. To drink i had some Orange Juice.

For lunch i had a Toasted Sun Dried Tomato and Basil Ciabatta roll with Ham. To drink i had a can of Sanpellegrino Limonata (one of my favourite drinks ever).

After my sandwich i had one of these Muller Light Greek Style yogurts which was Coconut flavour with a hint of Vanilla, they are so nice especially if you love anything Coconut. 

It was a little later in the afternoon and i was feeling hungry, so for a snack i had a piece of this homemade granola squares made by my mum. They are super healthy, packed full of oats/nuts/dried fruits and they taste so so good!!!

For dinner we had Enchiladas made by my sister, they were so nice! I took a picture of them straight out the oven rather than on a plate as Enchiladas don't tend to stay looking neat ha ha.

WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY (BIRTHDAY EDITION)

Hey guys, i hope you are all enjoying your week so far. So for this weeks "What I Ate Wednesday" i thought i would do something a little different and do it for my birthday which was on Monday... aaah another year older! So without further a do here it is...

As it was my birthday my mum and i decided to spend the whole day shopping. When we first arrived we were starving as we had no time to grab breakfast at home so we went to Costa. We shared a portion of toast between as Costa's toast is huge. To drink i had Iced Lemon Tea.

After several hours being busy shopping we decided to head to lunch at one of my favourite restaurants Carluccio's and obviously i had to get Sanpellegrino Limonata to drink, it is just the best!

We decided to share a starter between us which was Calamari Fritti and ironically is both myself and my mum's favourite type of starter, so that worked out well.

For main course i had Spaghetti Carbonara which is definitely one of my favourite dishes to have when i go to Carluccio's.

Seeing as it was my birthday and also it would be rude not to we had a dessert. I had Pasticcio Di Cioccolato which is basically Chocolate Bread and Butter Pudding in English, so delicious!

After a couple more hours of shopping we decided to stop off for a Starbucks before catching the train home. I got a Tall Soy Mocha Frappuccino obviously. I didn't have anything else to eat for the rest of the day as i was still super full from lunch.

WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY

For breakfast is the same as last week, i had Jordan's Country Crisp Cereal topped with Sultana's and Soy Milk. As well i had my usual Costa Coffee also with Soy Milk.

For lunch i had some Pesto Pasta just for something different, this was topped with Parmesan Cheese, Pine Nuts and Black Cracked Pepper. 

Today i also had Starbucks, Coconut Mocha Soy Frappuccino if you haven't tried one of these yet GO AND DO IT they are so so good!

And lastly for dinner i had a homemade Florentine Pizza which is Bacon, Spinach and topped with an egg. This is definitely my favourite type of pizza to have.

What is your favourite pizza toppings?
