Happy Wednesday. How’s your week going? A lot of us on the east coast are still like, “What the f*** was that!?” regarding Saturday’s snow storm. I can’t believe I’d rolled my eyes Friday when they were talking doom & gloom all over the news. I was just thankful I got to spend Saturday safely inside, especially because I knew I was expected at the hospital on Sunday. It gave me a chance to catch up on writing work and even—gasp—read for pleasure. Ruth Reichl’s new book, My Kitchen Year, is such a joy. And this is coming from someone who hardly ever says things like “such a joy!” 
For this week’s What I Ate Wednesday, it seemed only fitting to share my snow-day eats. But first, I think I need to share a snapshot of what was going on at my parents’ house. Eli was napping comfortably against my mom’s leg until he realized she was taking pictures of him. Nap interrupted:
Caption: “Hey—I’m sleepin’ here!” My mom joked that Eli has turned into a little Jersey boy. The idea of him with my homeland accent is hilarious.
Meanwhile, in NYC, I was making and eating things.
Breakfast: A leisurely bowl of savory mushroom-topped oats with goat cheese and tahini
Lunch: A salad, avocado toast with hemp seeds, and some soup from the freezer
Snack: Plain yogurt with coconut flour, cocoa powder, and blackberries
Dinner: Leftovers—farro in a brothy tomato sauce (delicious recipe fail), greens, and leftover roasted cauliflower, topped with a fried egg and the last few slices of avocado #uglybutgood
Snack: A banana with PB2 sauce before bed
How did you spend your Saturday? What was the last book you read?

That egg looks just perfect! 🙂 And your doggie is SO CUTE! 🙂 That savory breakfast actually looks really good.
Haha thanks. Eli is a bichon frise. He has no idea he’s a 12-pound ball of fluff because he runs around and plays outside with my parents’ giant golden retrievers all day.
Dying at the thought of your dog with a Jersey accent. As a fellow Jersey girl, (who doesn’t think we REALLY have that much of an accent.. do we?!) it just sounds right for all dogs to speak with a little Jersey flair.
hahaha my accent only comes out with certain words or if I’m rushing or tired. Sometimes I punctuate with f-words, but that’s more a dialect thing lol
I love that you are adding hemp seeds to things too! Not a lot of people seems to eat them. And I have seen a lot of people that like to doctor up their yogurt- I need to get more creative!
I love hemp seeds—I got into them a few years ago while writing an article about them. I especially love them in salad and with avocado lately. I’ve noticed I tend to like them more in savory rather than sweet things, but they go with so many different foods!
Hello! I’m so glad I stumbled upon your blog through WIAW today. I’ve always wanted to try savory oats…but I just have my oats traditions that I can’t seem to break though!
It took me a really long time to try savory oats too, but curiosity won out. I’ve found they keep me full a lot longer in the morning than sweet versions do, so that’s definitely motivation to keep them in the rotation : )
