Tamar here, sharing my eats in participation with the What I Ate Wednesday blog hop hosted by the delicious-maker, Jenn, over at Peas and Crayons. You can click the button (above) to hop over to her yummy site and learn more. :)
I devoured lots of food goodness this week, but my fave has to be the collards with turkey bacon that I made using greens that were gifted to us by my Fella's work-buddy, Michael. Like my Fella, Michael is what I'd call a Foodie, and like me he takes pictures of a lot of the food that he eats. I can't speak for Michael, but for me taking pics of what I've lovingly (or greedily) prepared for myself or my family is a way of extending pleasure. You know that moment when your recipe is complete and for a few seconds it is perfect...not a bite taken...displayed in all it's glory...beautiful...delectable...your masterpiece...........MUNCH!!! Mmmmmmmm....I like to extend that moment in picture form so I can look back with fondness, and perhaps a bit of longing as well, for the tasty times of past. This also inspires me to continue creating present and future tastiness.
Enough about my food porn, on with "What I Ate," and by the way you can check back here on Monday for more pictures and the recipe for that delicious dish I made with the collard greens.

1. I started my day with GREEN JUICE. Yum!
2. For BREAKFAST I noshed on GRANOLA W/ BLUEBERRIES & ALMOND MILK, and to sweeten the deal, COFFEE W/ AGAVE & SOY CREAMER.
3. My MID-MORNING SNACK was BLUE-GREEN SMOOTHIE.
4. For LUNCH, home-made BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI with home-made wonton wrappers (special thanks the Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook: Crazy Delicious Recipes that Are Good to the Earth and Great for Your Bod
for this simple and amazing recipe!)
5. For an AFTERNOON SNACK I nibbled on some APPLE SLICES & PEANUT BUTTER MOJO BAR BY CLIFF. I'd like to say I enjoyed this bar, but it was actually a bit salty for me (I know, shocking right?)
6. Here is my yum, yum, yummeroo DINNER which I will post the recipe for next week. COLLARD GREENS W/ TURKEY BACON aside BROWN RICE.
7. For DESSERT...I indulged. But I was so good and rather than just eating it straight outa' d'jah (that's East Coast speak for "Straight out of the jar") I spread my TRADER JOE'S COOKIE BUTTER on a couple of lightly toasted TRADER JOE'S CRUMPETS. Sweet satisfaction.
In keeping with this month's What I Ate Wednesday theme, this day of meals represents some of the ways that I am "Falling into good habits" by balancing fresh healthy veg with a few sweet indulgences. Additionally, I am making snacking a habit to keep me from turning into a shaking, grumpy version of my normally sweet and sparkly self by keeping my blood sugar at an even keel. Green juices and green smoothies have also become a welcome staple to a diet in which I treat my body with the respect and love it deserves by feeding it in a way that truly nourishes...as well as delights the taste buds. Lastly I'm making yoga a daily habit and spiritual practice. And that's all she wrote...
