WIAW – Double Offender

WIAW - Are You Cereal?

Oh my gosh. Has it seriously been twoΒ weeks since I last posted?! What am I doing with my life? (besides softball, cross country, house work, babysitting) While I do miss writing posts, it has been nice to take a small break. I have been reading everyone’s doings, though! I have to say, I am just SO happy for Miranda and Christian… they’re getting married!

Yesterday’s eats were not much worth sharing, but I still love linking up to the party, so let’s get started! Thanks Jenn!

july

Breakfast was a very common happening around here…

And then I was still hungry so I had another one.

pbandj

Mom and I ran a couple errands and I got some lunch-

Photo2 (41)

Chicken pesto pita. It’s always a treat to get to this restaurant because they close at 3 everyday which is the time I get done with school. They also have..

scone

Scones! DELISH. This flavor was banana heath, last time was banana snickers. Yum!

Mom was gone for dinner which left me home to fend for myself. (which I do anyway!) That resulted in…

Photo3 (20)

Yep. Another pb&j&banana toast. Two times (technically three) in one day. Like the Barney plate? We need to do the dishes, haha!

And dessert-

texas sheet

Leftover Texas sheet cake a la grandma and vanilla ice cream. Boom. No guilt!

I’m off for my run now and then to relax the rest of the day! Things will wind down for a few weeks before high school cross country starts. So excited!

Happy Wednesday! πŸ˜€

    Everything you ate looks divine! Especially that toast though πŸ™‚ I’m a sucker for anything with peanut butter & banana!

    Your post makes me feel better about the days when I tend to eat the same thing all day long (cereal, eggs, toast, repeat!) Your peanut butter banana toast looks delicious! I love making that and sprinkling some chia seeds on top, so good!

      You’re always so creative, I get jealous! And I’ve never thought of the chia seeds.. I’ll have to try it!

    I do the same thing! My repeats tend to be smoothies.. I am pretty sure that one day I only drank smoothies.. And your grandma’s cake looks soooo good!

      I don’t think it’s a problem if we’re okay with it! Grandma’s cooking can never be beat. πŸ˜€

    Do you normally have guilt about eating any of that dessert?
    And btw I think that if I didn’t have a twin we could be – I was reading your intro and I love doing math for fun too! πŸ™‚ I also love to run and I’m 14! When is your bday?

      I don’t have guilt on just a serving. When I used to go back for seconds (and thirds) then I’d feel guilty! I’m much better at moderation now πŸ˜€ My bday is January 18th!

    I had a chicken pesto pita the other day and it was marvelous! Your dessert looks so marvelous too! Texas sheet cake is something I’m yet to try. (and I’m from Texas!) That’s a far greater offense then you have seconds on breakfast πŸ™‚

    Yay, I’m glad you have another post up! I missed reading your blog, though I’m glad you enjoyed your blog break. πŸ™‚ Sometimes it’s necessary!
    I’m lovin’ all the pb sandwiches/toast in this post (hey, toast and post rhyme! It’s the little things… πŸ˜‰ )! I always have to fend for myself too since I’m the only one in my family who eats like I do! At least I know that I’m going to end up with something I like haha. And that sheet cake looks absolutely marvelous!

    Love the food! That scones looks to die for! And there’s nothing wrong with having pb&j so much in one day. It’s such a quick and easy meal! Happy Thursday, love<3
