What I Ate: St. P Edition
Welcome to Wednesday! I'm rounding up my St. Patty's Day eats today for What I Ate Wednesday and linking up over at Clean Eats, Fast Feets. I've really been loving these posts because it's fun to look back on and also forces me to up my game a little bit on what I'm eating. By the looks of it, I'm not getting nearly enough green veggies, so my plan is to work on that for next week! Yesterday was great because we also managed to eat dinner together as a family, something we've been working on. It's a work in progress, but when it all comes together and happens, it feels really special. Let's get to it!
breakfast: oat bran w/water, sweetener, 2 tbsp PB2 & 1/2 sliced banana. there's really just no way to make this look pretty.
mid-morning snack: the remaining half of banana from breakfast
lunch: penelope and i made this awesome lemon chicken orzo soup on sunday and so i brought some leftovers. i wish i had some greens in this soup, but i didn't have any at home to throw in. next week for sure!
snack: someone brought in these amazing nougat treats for the office and so i had half of one. then i went back for the other half.
dinner: beer braised corned beef in the slow cooker + carrots + cabbage (ok so a tiny bit of green!)
snack: irish soda bread!
So all in all, not a terrible day of eating - everything was delicious! Looking back, I wish I had incorporating a bit more healthy veg, but all in all, I'm happy that I meal prepped on Sunday so that I had plenty of goodies for the week!
What have you been eating lately?

I love how WIAW's make me accountable too. Also, that lemon chicken orzo soup sounds incredible and I don't even eat chicken. Ha.
I know what you mean about making sure to get enough greens in each day. I have my good days and my bad days. I always have a bunch of broccoli crowns in my fridge (most always) because I love roasted broccoli and that is the easiest thing to make (that I love). Baby spinach is a close second.
Soup recipe, please? Looks yummy!
I've found an easy way to up my greens is to pack a spinach and romaine salad for lunch, topped with cherry tomatoes, croutons, and sometimes sunflower seeds or pine nuts. For some reason, I don't mind having the same lunch almost every day, so it's easy to pack, saves me money from eating out, and makes sure I get a good helping of greens!
Great food! I love corned beef & cabbage...and irish soda bread! I have to make some this year, I couldn't find any soda bread at the store :(
