wiaw: soup supper and grandma’s birthday

04/09 by Leigha 14 Comments

Fashion Friday {4/7 - 4/11}
good food and happy thoughts

Goood morning! I thought I would start out today with a poem.

WIAW is really the best. 
We look and we drool over all of the rest.
Some like their veggies, some like their fruit,
Everyone likes to eat up their loot!

Okay. I’m sorry. I had to. Anyway, here are my eats from yesterday, Tuesday the 8th!

Breakfast was a treat:

I looove finishing off a jar of pb because I get to have my overnight oats in it!

Lunch was the usual:

PB&J&B. And my apple on the side. For some reason I wasn’t hungry at all for lunch… still gotta eat!

A Snack before track was half of this KIND bar.

I’ve yet to find a KIND bar that disappointed me. They work so hard at each flavor, making sure it has the perfect amount of sweetness! No affiliate link… I just really like them πŸ™‚

Dinner was a weekly favorite:

Soup and sandwich supper at church after praying the Stations of the Cross. For some reason I forgot to take a picture of dessert?! It was banana bread and a hard peanut butter cookie which I gave to Dad.

It was Grandma’s birthday too so she came over for pizza and brownies! I didn’t have any because I like soup and sandwiches more than pizza. Who am I?!

happy birthday grandma brownies

pizza mushrooms main street

Okay I can’t not have any pizza πŸ˜‰ I had a few bites of the leftover mushroom piece!

phosphorus brownies

I ended the night by making some brownies. In my science class we have to do a presentation on the elements and I drew phosphorus. We have to bring in a visual aid containing our element so I made some phosphorus brownies πŸ™‚ I didn’t even cut into them so they’ll be pretty for my presentation today! 

Thanks for hosting the party, Jenn! I’m super excited to drool over everyone else’s eats! 

OOIAPBJ: yes or no?

Ever tried a KIND bar?!

    Yum! I’d take soup and a sandwich over pizza too! Nothing beats soup and a sandwich πŸ™‚ I’m glad you fun at your Grandma’s party. Ugh that breakfast is making me droooool! Is Lent over yet?! I need some peanut butter!

    Yummmmy! Your grandma is adorable, glad you had a great time! You have made me want cake now though πŸ˜› I find it very satisfying to get to the bottom of a jar of PB too! Have you tried white chocolate wonderful from PB and Co?

      I have a jar of white chocolate wonderful in my pantry but I haven’t tried it yet! I’m so weird – I buy all of these things but I never eat them! I need to get over that! I do that with so many things!

    Hahah love the cute poem! Pretty much sums up the essence of WIAW. We LOVE food ;)! And lots of it!

    Mhmm there’s nothing like finishing off a jar of PB since you still have a good 1-3 tbsps of the PB in there. Then you get a little bit in each bite :). I actually was just sent a big pack of Kind bars to review! What’s your take on them? Favorite flavor?

    Any nights that ends with making brownies is juussttt fine for me haha ;). Okay, better than fine! Great day of eats, lady!

      I am so jealous that you got a box of Kind bars! Of the flavors I’ve tried the dark chocolate cinnamon pecan was amazing. So was madagascar vanilla. I have a blueberry pecan that I’m super excited to try too! I love them all!

    OK- I really need to you consider relocating to AZ so we can chef up a bunch of amazing eats. That, or I would just come over and eat everything you cook. Deal? Deal. Secondly, your grandmother is precious. Thirdly, I lurve KIND bars- esp the sea salt and chocolate one. So so good.

      If you want to come over and eat what I make that is fine with me. Then I won’t be tempted with all of my leftovers πŸ™‚ sea salt & chocolate?! I’ve got to find that flavor!!
