What I Ate Wednesday: Homemade Ice Cream (Among Others)

Pin It PIN IT!

Happy Wednesday friends! Thank you all for listening to me gripe and moan about my first world problems yesterday. I completely understand how petty I was for complaining about lack of electricity. Sometimes, a girl just needs to vent though, am I right? But now, thankfully, after a night of decent sleep, I’m back with a big ol’ grin on my face.

Things aren’t perfect but I’m learning to deal with the imperfections. Plus, I have some REALLY exciting things in the works that will be announced soon and, let’s just say, they will help my financial situation greatly as well. Mo’ money = LESS problems for me, sorry Biggy.

Now, onto one of my favorite parts of the week, What I Ate Wednesday! These eats are from Monday where, thanks to my job, there was a full days worth of delicious eats to be had.

Breakfast:

Oatmeal with a tablespoon of peanut butter and 1/2 chopped banana.  Simple, easy, healthy and delicious. Paired with coffee it was the perfect breakfast to fill me up until lunchtime.

Lunch:

A cup of whole wheat baked spaghetti. So good, so delicious and so freakin’ awesome. I eat spaghetti at least twice a month and I’ve never tried it baked. Guys, it’s the best thing in the world. Do it.

Snack:

A delicious pickle.

Dinner:

Had to make Philly cheesesteaks for an article on Groundhog Day (it relates), so we enjoyed these delicious sandwiches for dinner. I could only eat half  though, these things are HUGE. And really filling. I paired mine with a glass of beer, because, duh, that’s what you do.

Dessert:

Homemade strawberry chip ice cream. Guys, this is the most heavenly thing I’ve ever made. Plus, since it was made with skim milk and light cream, it’s less fattening than most versions. The flavor was out of this world and the  texture was ULTRA creamy. I’m seriously never buying store bought ice cream again, this stuff is IT.

So guys! Share your eats. What’s the best thing you ate this week?

    I totally stole your baked spaghetti idea & made it for dinner last night. I made the tomato sauce myself and put in a tonnnnn of veggies in it, like brussles sprouts, zuchinni, artichoke, and tonssss of other veggies, my family isn't really all that loving towards VEGGIES(or whole wheat pasta) as I am.<333 despite that, they LOVED it. :D it makes me happy to see them enjoying vegetables. I'm the 16 year old daughter, making her fam eat healthy.
