Wednesday again. That means another What I Ate Wednesday. How’s this Leap Year week treating you? I’m a little discombobulated (shocked I could spell that on the first try) after working at the hospital over the weekend and early this week, but it’s all good. I may have been alternating between working and recharging this past weekend, but for this week’s food diary-esque post, I thought I’d share a peek at a weekend off, where I went out to the suburbs. It was nice to see my family and snuggle with a certain bichon.
It’s all his side of the bed, really.
Here’s what I ate on Sunday.
Breakfast: Savory oatmeal—this was oats with chia seeds, spinach, leftover veggies, an egg, and a little avocado. New York Times on the side.
Lunch: My mom, sister, and I met my sister’s boyfriend’s mom for an afternoon BYOB painting class, but first, we grabbed lunch at a nearby restaurant. I had a lobster cobb salad. This was the exact right way to enjoy my monthly bacon fix : )
The class itself was super-fun! I’d forgotten how relaxing I find painting. I didn’t end up drinking more than a few sips of rose wine, since I’d had a glass of prosecco at lunch, but next time I’ll plan better. The painting was right up my alley—perfect for a full-moon weekend.
Snack on the bus back to NYC: dry-roasted edamame (unpictured)
Dinner: I pulled some chicken and gnocchi soup from the freezer, added the remainders of some frozen spinach, and called it dinner (recycled photo).
Bedtime Snack: I was still hungry after dinner, so I had some yogurt with PB2 and cocoa powder mixed in (unpictured).

Do you make your own gnocchi? That soup looks super yummy!
I have, but these were store-bought. Haha much less labor-intensive!
Uhm, that lobster cobb though. It looks unbelievable!
It was delicious! The only thing missing was some avocado. Maybe when I make this at home sometime…
Your art is amazing!!!
You’ve totally got me craving a loaded salad like that- I had an Indian buffet on the weekend and ate close to 3 whole chickens… 😀
OMG those places can be awesome! Tell me you’ve taken a visit to the “Curry Hill” part of NYC or Jackson Heights for good Indian food!
Argh, I wish my time in NYC wasn’t cut short- Next time I’m there, we are having a curry date!
Definitely.
I haven’t had gnocchi in for-eva! Looks amazing!
I hadn’t either—it’s one of those foods I forget about until I’m, like, “I want to eat this. I wonder how it tastes in soup.”
