Let's talk about FOOD!

I don't think I have ever been so excited for a link-up before! Last week commenced my very first "What I Ate Wednesday" link-up post: "What's On Your Plate?" and then a personal fave: "Fist Pumps" and I can confidently report I am hooked. Perhaps I'm biased because Jenn spells her name with two n's like I do, or it could be because we're both passionate about healthy food..and want to share our finds and creations with everyone!

I have been receiving A LOT of awesome things in the mail as of late, and here is something I am especially excited about:

9-Tray Large-Excalibur with 26-hour Timer!!
This lil beauty is waiting for me in Seattle, and I can't wait to get introduced! I am already making a list of things I want to make... then I can share the good, the bad, and the ugly with all of you!

Since I've discovered dairy-free/soy-free "yogurts" I've been ecstatic about breakfast -- here's this week's selection:

1/2 Bowl of Plain So Delicious topped with Chia Seeds & Goji Berries!
The other 1/2 of Plain So Delicious topped with Chia Seeds, Goji Berries & Chopped Almonds!
The chocolate So Delicious by the way? SO DELICIOUS! I enjoyed it as is, no need for frills. Just a few spoonfuls hit the spot as an after dinner "treat." I haven't indulged in awhile and was pretty satisfied over the weekend making it last:)

Mom and I road tripped it to the other side of the island mainly for this...

WholeFoods
And of course we had to have lunch, too..


We were SO hungry, our salads tasted phenomenal! I covered mine in turmeric and freshly ground pepper then drizzled some Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar and just a touch of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Delish.

What are you eating?

I love WIAW too! It's so fun to see what others are eating and what recipes they come up with. It also gives me ideas for some new eats! :)

Just found your blog and love it! :)

Suz and Allan said... [Reply]

Congratulations Christina! I have a feeling that Jenn couldn't have had a better winner for this giveaway!

The salad looks amazing. Allan has been eating tumeric for years in a lot of dishes he makes. (Anything that someone claims is good for his prostate or prevents kidney stones Allan will use!)

Hope you're having a good week love!

Your food looks so fresh and tasty! I have to find that cultured coconut milk.
Im hoping my dehydrator comes today!!

Lindsay said... [Reply]

Looks like you are eating some good food. Those spring rolls look sooo delicious. I haven't had dairy free/soy free yogurt, but if you like it then maybe I will have to try it.

Julia said... [Reply]

hahaha! Christina is definitely a lucky duck lately! love that girl! so all your food looks amazing. i have never tried eating a specific diet before but actually ever since meeting Christina and trying Fresh in Toronto, I have been trying to incorporate more Vegan meals. love!

Christina @ The Athletarian said... [Reply]

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! I can't believe I won this! Way to support by new diet, girly! This is going to be perfect. I am trying so many different products and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! Your food looks absolutely amazing and I want to come and steal your dehydrator. Send me some fruit leather?? Hahaha! I tried banana leather at Trader Joe's in NYC and OMGGGGG I died. Seriously I am so jealous!

Nada (One Arab Vegan) said... [Reply]

Oh my god an Excalibur? I am beyond jealous! Is there a reason you went for the 9 tray rather than the 5 by the way? I'm looking to get one soon so am curious.

Sonya said... [Reply]

I can't wait to see your dehydrator dishes, I'm obsessed with mine. Also, I just heard there is almond milk yogurt on the market? Haven't seen or tried but am now on the hunt!
