#WIAW: Sweet Home Cookin'

Pin It PIN IT!

Happy Wednesday friends! I’m SO EXCITED to be joining the fabulous ranks of What I Ate Wednesday again! The past few beginning weeks of 2012 have been busy. I can’t believe it’s already the 18! What? Time flies when you’re having fun, I guess.

I now work full time from the cozy comfort of my home, making it easier to 1) eat and 2) photograph my food!

My home office 🙂

These eats are from yesterday, where I swear I was in the kitchen from when I woke up to when E got home. All signs of a good day, I suppose!

Breakfast:

Mini bacon and spinach quiches! These bite size breakfasts were AMAZING, and filling! Two of them kept me full until 2pm! Plus, aren’t they just freakin’ adorable?

Plus, coffee.

You trust me, don’t you 😉

Lunch:

A perfect parfait made with Greek yogurt, honey nut granola and fresh blueberries! Since I was still kind of full and, truthfully, too busy to eat a real meal, this was a perfect way I could energize and fill up before dinner.

Plus, a virgin sunrise made with OJ and a dash of grenadine. Yes, I’m 10, what of it.

Dinner:


Homemade chicken BBQ with a sweet/savory pineapple BBQ sauce. My first attempt at BBQ and I’m happy to report I got the MAN STAMP of approval! And, being the eh person that I am towards this food, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. Normally BBQ just doesn’t wow me. Looks  like I’ll have to just make my own now!

Normally people drink beer with BBQ, but I paired it with this dainty champagne cocktail. (Recipe up on She Knows today!)

As weird as BBQ and champagne is, the refreshing bubbly drink was a perfect pair to the hearty meat.

Dessert:

A slice of homemade cinnamon bread made with just a teeny tiny little bit of butter. AHHH-MAZING. I’ll be sure to link up that recipe when it’s live on She Knows.

So, friends! What did you eat today? Or this week? Share with me!
