Good morning, loves!
I am so happy with all of the positive feedback on yesterday’s post! Thank you! ![]()
Cait sure did make a great request for a post topic!
If you have a request for me make sure you bring it to my attention! Next Tuesday I will be writing another reader’s request post and I promise you it’s a great topic, too! I can’t wait to share it!
But, today is What I Ate Wednesday, so here are my eats and a new recipe, too!
Breakfast – cottage cheese whipped up with avocado and vanilla stevia and topped with Uncle Sam cereal.


I thought I’d switch it up from my usual quinoa and cottage cheese bowl and crack open the box to this new-to-me cereal! I’ve had this cereal in my cupboard for a while now, but haven’t opened it until the other day. I’m not sure why because it’s great! I like having it with cold almond milk, too!
Mid-morning – two savoury muffins (new recipe coming at you next week!), chicken breast, and broccoli.
Lunch – PC 5 grain blend, shrimp, asparagus, roasted garlic, and extra virgin olive oil.
Mid-afternoon – chicken breast, 1 egg, baked sweet potato, and cucumber. This meal was taken to an appointment with me and eaten on the go!
Dinner – pan seared mahi mahi with citrus spice, roasted ginger lime sweet potatoes (recipe below), and asparagus.
Roasted Ginger Lime Sweet Potatoes
1 sweet potato, cubed
juice of 1/2 a lime
ginger powder (I didn’t measure, I just sprinkled liberally)
extra virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 400.
Toss all of the ingredients together in a bowl until all potatoes are coated with lime juice, ginger, and oil.
Place on a lined baking tray and bake until done.
This was a delicious recipe! I combined two flavours that I love, ginger and lime, with one of my all time favourite foods, sweet potato. I usually have my sweet potato plain (see my mid afternoon snack) or coated in cinnamon, so this was new to me, but I loved it! It was slightly tangy, but absolutely delicious! I hope you give it a try for something different if you are a sweet potato and cinnamon person like myself
Bedtime (9:00 pm) – egg whites and hazelnut butter. I was nearing the end of my hazelnut butter, so I literally licked that jar clean
It’s been ages since I’ve had my eggies with nut butter and, oh, it was goooooood!
Love love love,
Meg xo

Another great WIAW! We have such similar food preferences, so I really enjoy reading these!
Hmm, my favorite thing I’ve eaten recently was a grilled bison steak that I had on Monday night. It was so perfect; medium-rare! I don’t eat a lot of red meat, but I love me some bison.
Hah. I thought I was the only weirdo who liked eggs with nut butter. I like almond butter on omelets, or hard-boiled egg whites dipped in peanut butter.
SOOOOO DELICIOUS! Bison is amazing
We definitely do have similar taste buds
Oh I am looking forward to that savory muffin recipe!! Looks so good!
I am happy you are excited
Those muffins look delicious! I can’t wait for the recipe
Next WIAW
I have eggs and nut butter every. single. night. I love it! Spread it on top of the warm eggs and it makes it all melty… mm
The best!
I knew you’d like it
Love all the meals Meg. Those sweet potatoes sound amazing. I love the flavor combo. I’ve never tried eggs and nut butter before but now I just might have to. Makes for a great nighttime snack!
You should try it and think of meeee
haha!
I like the ginger-lime flavour combo idea! Lately, I’ve been cooking rice in coconut milk & lime juice and I bet ginger (and even cilantro) would make it even more amazing.
Hope you have a good day lovey. xo
Ooooo yes! Good idea
Oh love the sweet potato idea. I like mine more spicy. I usually use a blend I make up and keep on hand of salt, pepper, red pepper, chile powder, cumin, garlic powder. I think the citrus would make the sweet potato flavor really pop.
It did! Give it a try, girl!
Your lunch looks great. I love shrimpeeeeeees! Haven’t tried nut butter n’ eggs before. I usually top with feta or salsa if anything.
I never have salsa on hand, but the nut butter thing….. oh my so good
Whipped cottage cheese? Can’t wait to try! Everything looks amazing, as usual:)
YES. Whipped cottage cheese. Best thing I ever created
I’m going to have to give the lime+ginger a try! I love to cook my sweet potatoes with sprinkle of cayenne + paprika. Gives them a little smoky kick. So good!
I just did that on the weekend! And topped it with a runny yolk
I want that mahi mahi, I am soo jealous!! Those muffins look really good as well!
Oh they were
i have not done eggs and nut butter before but i do love both so perhaps i should give it a try!!!
I think you should
And you should think of me while you enjoy it
I actually love eggs and nut butter too
I thought I was alone in that one! But I have it in a sandwich not just plain like you
Ooooo I haven’t done it in a sandwich before
YUM
I have never tried egg whites and nut butter before . . . . but I’m SO going to try it. Looks amazing! Although what doesn’t look amazing with nut butter on top?!?
So true
but please give it a try and let me know what you think
<3
Okay..you and me must be on the same page re: chicken muffins!
Thanks for linking darling! xo
LOVE
Oooooo yes! We must be on the same page
Love u & have a great day
Cottage cheese with anything is so good! My favorite
so true
Oh, sis!! Those SWEET POTATOES!!! You already know I love ginger, and of course you also know that I love sweet potatoes…I can only imagine how amazing these are!! I can’t wait for the savory muffin recipe either. I already know the secret ingredient, and it sounds fantastic! You’re so creative in the kitch, sis!
Can you believe I’ve never had eggs + nut butter?? I know…crazy! I’ve made egg crepes with coconut flour, and topped them with PB, so maybe that half counts?
I need some hazelnut butter in my life, too, but first I must save for that walnut oil you rave about.
The best thing I’ve been eating is that sandwich that I’m sure you’re tired of hearing about now! I also had a pretty delicious omelet this morning.
Thinking of you, and can’t WAIT for this afternoon! <3 xoxoxo
Oh you make me smile
Lucky girl knowing the secret ingredient
HAHAHA! I’m eating my muffins right now actually
Your crepes sound great! I will give that a try, but you need to give my combo a try??
I hope you like it
Yes! Walnut oil > hazelnut butter
You NEED to try my fav oil
Then my fav nut butter
Is your fav still PB??
DEFINITELY not tired of hearing about that sandwich because it looked AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you and am VERY excited for this afternoon TOO
That Uncle Sam’s breakfast looks awesome. Cottage cheese + avo = dreamyness!
Great WIAW post!
Thanks, Lindsay
I am so happy you are all for the cc and avo mix!
Hmmm.. this Uncle Sam’s cereal looks so good! I wonder if they have it at my grocery store and it somehow just never caught my eye.
I found it at WF when I went to the states this summer!
Now you’re the 2nd blogger I know who’s done the eggs with nut butter – I know Britt of Go the Extra Mile loooooves it at night too!
Holy moly babe the mahi meal looks so amazing but what I’m really dying for is that savory muffin recipe b/c it reminds me so much of my beloved vegan Wildflour scones. Dare I say that recipe may be one that actually gets me in the kitchen cooking/baking for myself?!
You know I’ve loved Uncle Sam for awhile. Welcome to the party!
I don’t know how you’ll feel about these muffins
They are DELICIOUS, but I think many people will think they are REALLY WEIRD
hahahaha – I need to try those scones from Wildflour!!!!!
Wow. This was a great day of eats! Can’t wait to see your savoury muffin recipe. I see some green in there
And your mid-afternoon snack, while simple, looks like it was really good. I like to have a variety in my meals. No “one thing” for me.
Yes you do see green!
haha! Hope you had a great Wednesday my dear!
I’ve never tried eggs with nut butter before, but I can see how it would be good–eggs are so neutral when served plain (kinda like tofu) that I bet they’d be great with a little nut butter!
Delicious!
Give it a try babe
I am intrigued by this hazelnut butter!! Sounds great! Your eats always look so good sis!
Thanks, sis
I think you’d LOVE hazelnut butter – it’s one of my favs for sure!
I don’t typically eat eggs with nut butter but do so in the form of egg white oats. Also, craving me some sweet potato now!
Hahaha I am ALWAYS craving the sweet taters
Definitely looks like a healthy day of eats, Meg!!
Thanks, sweetie pie!!
That means a lot <3
The food all looks great!
The best thing I’ve ate are the purely packed brownies I made, http://www.optimistichealth.com/2013/01/purely-packed-brownies.html. They are all gone now but were delicious!
The hazelnut butter/egg combo is genius! Now I just need to try and find hazelnut butter here
Mmmmm checking out your recipe now!! Thanks for sharing <3
mm all your eats look delicious
i love eggs with nut butter; i normally scramble the whites and then drizzle them with nut butter + healthy chocolate sauce.
Ohhhh yum
How do you make the egg whites?
I’m struggling with binging (a LOT) and need to somehow eat good for a long while…not sure how to “recover” from the binging. I think depending on the same foods all the time has wrecked my digestion and I maybe need to elminate some foods…so weak-willed. I have an immense trouble with chocolate at night (like 100 gram dark chocolate bar at 10 pm at night…no exercise ever to make up for it.
I’m so sad and feel so pathetic.
I make my egg whites in a pan with a little olive oil. I have a VLOG showing how I cook my eggs
You shouldn’t feel pathetic <3 Give your body what it wants
