    What I Ate Wednesday: 11-20-2019

    Published Nov 20, 2019 Β· Modified Feb 14, 2022 Β· by Alexis Joseph Β· 8 Comments

    Hiya, friends! How is everyone's week? I just finished The Way It Always Is and I can't recommend it enough. Such a heart-warming book! Next up is Wild Game, which my sister read in her book club and raved about.

    Breakfast

    I'm still on a heck of a bagel kick. Alvarado street sprouted sesame bagel with one side cream cheese (loving Kite Hill's everything cream cheese) and one side avocado. Fried egg on the side for dipping!

    Lunch

    You MUST make my Instant Pot Cream of Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup. It's so amazing! I paired it with Brussels Sprout and Kale Caesar Salad with veggies from our Yellowbird CSA that I'll be posting Monday. It would make a fab side dish for Thanksgiving, might I add.

    If you're interested in signing up for Yellowbird CSA, click this link! I pick mine up at Alchemy so it's super convenient.

    Snack

    Snackage was a couple walnut brownie bars I made over the weekend. First I blended in the food processor 1 cup soft pitted dates with 1 cup walnuts and Β½ cup almonds. Then I added 1 tsp vanilla, 5 tbsp cacao powder, a big pinch of kosher salt, and 2 tbsp almond milk. Blend until it forms a nice dough.

    Press mixture into a 3-cup rectangular Pyrex lined with Parchment paper and freeze. Slice into bars and devour! I keep them in the freezer and take them on the go in a reusable Stasher bag.

    Dinner

    Taco night! I've has been slowly but surely teaching Jeff all my favorite Hummusapien recipes (he made my pancakes last weekend, too!). He killed it with taco night.

    SautΓ© diced onion, bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, and tomato in olive oil for 10 minutes. We love to bulk up our chickpea "meat" with veggies.

    Then add two cans of chickpeas, half a cup of toasted chopped walnuts, tons of taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Then add water to get the right consistency. Basically this recipe but with lots of veggies! It makes a lot.

    Served in tortillas with cabbage, guac (three avocados, about Β½ cup chopped onion, a big splash of lime juice, big pinch of kosher salt, and sprinkle of coriander), salsa, and blue corn chips.

    Dessert

    Amazing vegan and gluten-free ginger molasses cookies coming your way soon! They're SO good. Numi chai tea with almond milk on the side!

    Style Inspo

    I don't often buy nice purses but I've worked harder this year than ever and I wanted to treat myself! I absolutely adore this black crossbody bag---it's SO soft and perfect size for everyday use. It'll be amazing for travel, too! Also love this pew color.

    Major 40-60% off deals on coats! Love this quilted puffer coat, this beige tweed coat, pillow hooded down puffer coat, asymmetrical coat in merlot, and this belted wrap coat.

    Currently loving this black and rose gold watch! Would make a great holiday gift. Have an amazing week!

      Hi Alexis!! I love your blog and look forward to your posts but I was wondering if there was a way to close the sponsor ad at the bottom of the page? I know every blog has ads and that's totally ok, but yours is the only page that doesn't give me the option to close it! It's not a huge deal but that one inch ad at the bottom of my screen as I'm trying to read your post is a little annoying! Totally get it if you do it on purpose, just thought I'd ask πŸ™‚

        That's a really good question! I will ask my ad company and report back πŸ™‚ Thanks!

      I received coupons from Alvarado after speaking with them at FNCE, and I 'm so excited to get some of their bread and bagels! All of your food looks so colorful and delicious. Love the bag too!

      I seriously LOVE your WIAW! It reminds me through the tail end of my recovery, to truly push through and not be afraid to eat and to eat yummy foods I enjoy. Seriously, thank you girl so much for this content and for promoting eating ENOUGH, eating dessert, if you like it, (raises both hands) and promoting that all foods fit for a healthy lifestyle, and more importantly, mindset. Love your stuff Alexis and always inspired by you, to be the most authentic version of me, when it comes to my eating style, preferences and taste. xo

        Nicole, I'm crying over here! I can't even tell you how much your words mean to me. I always hesitate to do WIAW because of comparison issues so I loooove hearing from readers that it provides perspective and inspiration, which is exactly its purpose! Keep on being amazing. XOXO
