WIWIWEW aka What I Wish I Was Eating Wednesday
Guys, I’ve had such an exciting morning at work. The day started REALLY crappy with a crazy downpour, a little snip with my hubby, dirt somehow getting on my dress and me spilling all over myself (coffee). However, it quickly perked up. I got to do something REALLY freakin’ cool today. I’m not able to share YET but it has to do with the amazing program I work for (The Help the Homeless Program) and WUSA9. Because of how busy my morning was, I didn’t have time to upload or edit any of my photos. So I’m going to tackle what I ate Wednesday with a more What I Wish I Was Eating Wednesday. I hope you’ll forgive me, Peas and Crayons!
Breakfast:
I’m pretty sure if my day started with one of these muffins, it wouldn’t have been as crappy. They are so moist, so flavorful and are a perfect use for your fresh apple cider and newly harvested apples. Plus, they are extra spicy because of the addition of the rum. After the morning I had, a little rum could have gone LONG way.

The amazing Alicia of The Charity Wedding came up with this amazing homemade latte. I’m completely in love with Starbucks’s version, but at nearly $6 a pop, it’s definitely not wallet friendly. I would have loved to start my day with a delicious homemade one of these! (Alicia, dear, if you want to ship one to me, somehow, I wouldn’t say no).
Lunch:
I just, don’t have any words for this. It’s one of the most amazing things I’ve ever tasted. SO CREAMY. SO FLAVORFUL. I mean, it has PUMPKIN! Even had an incredible kick of spice. I made this over the weekend and it BARELY made it to Monday. No joke. I was eating it out of the dish with a fork. Not the healthiest of options, but also lighter than most b/c I made it with light cheese and light cream. Peep the recipe folks, it’s perfect for fall 🙂

I found this recipe on Tasty Kitchen and I’m totally making them, tonight. Another perfect way to use up your favorite fall fruit! Baking apples is, literally, one of the easiest things ever and they turn out so tasty and healthy! I love to add some pumpkin pie spice to them to give them a fabulous spicy taste! (Plus, they make your house smell like sweet, sexy heaven.
Dinner:
Chile Lime Burger with Southwestern Slaw

I absolutely LOOOOVEE Liz and her blog. She’s been one of my daily reads for a while. I love her recipes, of course, but I also love how she writes. It’s like she’s gabbing about her life over a glass of wine. She’s adorable. Plus, this recipe looks AHHHMAZING. I love zesty, spicy burgers and paired with a crunchy, southwestern slaw, this would be the PERFECT dinner. Oh, how I wish I had the ingredients to make it tonight. Or Liz, why not come over to my house and make it with me? I’ll provide the wine?
Dessert:
I know, a little shameless self promoting here, but I love these cookies. {and they got me on Foodgawker, HEY-YA!] I really can’t rave about them enough. They are SO good! Plus, after a day of eating burgers, mac n cheese and muffins, the last thing I need is a heavy, high calorie cookie!
So friends, what are you eating today? Or even better, what do you WISH you were eating? Share along!
