Happy What I Ate Wednesday!
Wednesdays are seeming to come around super quickly! Don’t ya think?
We figured out that the reason why I have been feeling so sick and have no appetite. I have another H Pylori infection. Eating as often as I usually do has been a challenge, so I’m eating lots of food at once and making it count! Whenever I eat, I get very nauseated due to the bacteria in my gut, so I try to limit the times I put food in my mouth! So sorry for the yet again weird WIAW. Hopefully, I’ll be back to normal next week!!
I did make a Healthy(ish) Halloween Treat this week!
Breakfast:
The only thing that sounds good… Pumpkin Protein Pancakes! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it… right?? This time I added in some goji berries.
I have also been drinking Lauren’s Pumpkin Pie Steamer in the mornings. So good!
Lunch:
I had a fantastic Tex Mex meal. I threw together a bunch of leftovers: rice, okra, broccoli, beans, roasted cushaw, spinach, tomatoes with jalapenos, cilantro and hot sauce. I also ended up adding avocado. Lunch just isn’t complete without avocado! Right???
Snack:
Unpictured plum. I was driving home. I didn’t think it was safe to try to eat, drive, and take a picture. :)
Dinner:
We have been trying to eat earlier so that I don’t have food sitting on my stomach when I go to bed at night.
We had one of the best meals I have had in a while. Roasted acorn squash stuffed with rice, lentils, apples, and spinach. To die for.
Snack:
I have been trying not to eat before bed (but I usually lose that battle). Tonight I made Luvy’s favorite cookie. I made it a wee bit different to try to make it a bit healthier for him.
Coco-Nut No Bake Cookies- recipe tomorrow!
What are your favorite cookies?

I am sorry you haven’t been feeling so great! Hopefully you will get better ASAP so you can fully enjoy your lovely eats again.. That acorn squash looks phenomenal!
Let’s see, my favorite cookie has to be chocolate chip or oatmeal chocolate chip. I also love an iced pumpkin cookie too, so so yummy!
Thanks girl!! Oatmeal chocolate chips cookies are my fav too!
Hope you feel better soon! I have to say the old school chocolate chip is my favorite – I never turn it down.
Thanks Sarah! Anything chocolate chip is hard to turn down!!
oooo this recipe is going to be amazing, just like you, sis <3 !!!!
I agree, avocado makes everyyyything soooo much better
That is why we are long lost sisters!
My favorite cookies are anything ginger.
OK, I also love lemon cookies.
No, my favorite cookies are definitely Bertha’s oatmeal cookies. She is like my third grandmother, and her cookies are famous in our family. The interesting thing is that normally I only want a cookie if it is gooey and soft, but hers are little and hard. But they are Bertha’s…so they are amazing.
PS Your stuffed squash looks AWESOME.
PPS I always lose the “don’t eat at night” fight.
I want some of Bertha’s cookies!! They sound to die for!
that tex mex meal looks bomb! amazing.
Thanks girl! I loved it b/c it took 5 minutes to make! Thank goodness for leftovers!
I’m sorry that you haven’t been feeling well! I guess it’s good that you figured out the cause, though? Hope you feel well soon!
Thanks love! I’m feeling much better now!
Oh no, sorry to hear about the infection!! Hope you feel better asap!! Can’t wait for that yummy looking recipe!
Thanks girl. I’m feeling much better today!
I love acorn squash, but for some reason, I never think to buy it. Yours looks really godo though!
Oh girl… we need to get you an acorn squash! so delicious!
Both your lunch and dinner look delicious! I can never keep my hands off of the things I bake… I have to taste test them right away!
I’m glad you discovered what is going on with your stomach. I hope you start feeling better SOON!
Thanks love! Usually I eat while cooking and as soon as it comes out… you KNOW i’m sick when I don’t! I’m feeling much better today!
Your lunch and dinner look so awesome! I always love how creative your meals are…and veggie packed! I always need a little inspiration!
Thanks girl!! That means a lot coming from you! I’m always drooling over what you make!
I have an acorn squash in my kitchen just waiting to be eaten. I also have ALL the other fixin’s you used on yours..what a delicious combination!! I am sorry to hear about your tummy bugs, I hope they clear up soon! Pumpkin pancakes cure all!
OOO let me know if you make your acorn squash like I did! It is so good! You are right… pumpkin pancakes make everything better!
Oh man, sorry your belly is still giving you trouble! I think the tacos that are on the blog today are the best food in the past week – they were so unique and yummy!
Thanks girl! I have been dreaming over your tacos! I must make them!
Pancakes all day, every day! The stuffed acorn squash looks divine, I totally want to use the squash that’s been sitting on my counter and I’ve been avoiding to make that! Can’t wait for the recipe tomorrow
Oh let me know if you make your squash like that! It was my favorite meal all week!!
So sorry that you aren’t feeling well!
Question for you: Last year I ate a ton of acorn squash and loved it–until I accidentally bought one that wasn’t very ripe. Now I’m scared of buying it again in case it’s no good…any advice on picking out a good one at the grocery store?
I just look for one that is a really pretty dark green with some orange on it. I also knock on it to see if it sounds hollow. My grandma did that so that is why I do it. I have never bought one that wasn’t ripe before… was it all green with no orange?
Hmmm, I can’t remember but I will definitely use your tips when I purchase one next! Thanks so much, friend!
What is a H Pylori infection? I guess I could google it…
everyone has a bit of H Pylori in their stomach but sometimes it gets out of control. it is basically a bad bacteria that causes ulcers and such. No fun!
I am excited for that recipe tomorrow
That dinner looks incredible!!!
I’ve been trying to eat earlier too. I did manage to have my midnight snack at 11:30 tonight…
Hey.. it was before midnight! That’s winning in my book!
I hate how you still haven’t been feeling good. You are such a beautiful person, and just don’t deserve any of this
. My prayers are with you hunnie.
Thanks love! You are too sweet!
Haha I love that we said the same thing:)
I know! Great minds think alike!
Oh no! I hope you feel better soon – sending you positive thoughts.
Thanks friend!!
I needed them!
