WIAW – A Day at the Market

08/28 by Leigha 20 Comments

Foodie Pen Pals Reveal Day August
8th Grade Recognition

It’s Wednesday, yet again, and that means it’s WIAW!

Breakfast

I had a piece of toast with half pb&banana half avocado.

I had the exact same thing when I got home from cross country. One piece of toast isn’t enough for breakfast!

LunchΒ 

Since it was like 90 degrees out I wanted something cold and refreshing. Which means green smoothie. It was NOT as good as normal though, since I only had kale, no spinach πŸ™ I really don’t like kale in smoothies. It never mixes well.

I knew I needed something more so I had, you guessed it, an avocado turkey sandwich.Β It will never get old.

Then I headed to the Farmer’s Market to set up my stand! I sold my green beans and tomatoes. My cousin sold her wine racks and homemade purses, and my mom sold Tastefully Simple! It’s only $5 to set up a stand, so I figured why not? I made $12 πŸ˜€

Dinner

I don’t even know what dinner was. A whole bunch of randoms thrown together. I wish I was creative with meals, but I’m not. I eat the same things everyday.

Green beans, broccoli & hummus, tomatoes, guac, chips & salsa. I really wasn’t even hungry that much. The weather was all groggy and humid which makes me not hungry!

Dessert

I had big plans. I actually felt like baking something! I had so many recipes. But that’s the problem. I get overwhelmed and can’t pick something! So, dessert ended up being ice cream. Moose Tracks and Vanilla. With horrrrible quality.

So… not my best day of eats, but not my worst. But check out these amazing (and simple) treats!

    Yum! That toast looks incredible. I agree that one piece is definietly not enough. I’m way too hungry in the morning to only have one piece! Your moosetracks looks delicious as well, one of my favorite childhood flavors!

      Moosetracks is good, but my favorite is Mackinac Island Fudge πŸ˜€ When I was at my dad’s their bread only had 45 calories a piece so I had to have like 5 pieces, lol!

    Can we talk about how brilliant you are for splitting that toast between pb and avocado? But I agree, 1 piece of toast just isn’t enough πŸ™‚ So cute that you set up a stand!!!

    Woo! Great job at the farmer’s market. Hey, $12 is enough to get some really great things… books, FOOD… πŸ™‚ The ice cream looks so good!

      $12 is better than sitting at the house all day! πŸ˜€
