Breakfast
Today started in a bit of a panic as we were rushing to get out the door so I didn't have time to eat a proper breakfast. We had meetings in Central London but between getting children organised, weekly grocery shops being delivered and putting the correct colour jumpers & harnesses on dogs of course we ended up running late! So I grabbed a Nutri Grain Breakfast Bake and a banana to eat in the car on the way to the train station! I also made sure to take a bottle of water with me...especially as I felt quite bloated today!
Lunch
After a morning of meetings, we went to Pizza East for lunch. I ordered the beetroot & goat's cheese salad but kind of wish I would have got a pizza instead as they did look amazing!! I also got a Diet Coke as I haven't had one in ages!
Dessert
I could not pass up dessert (especially after such a light lunch!), so I got the salted caramel & chocolate tart with cream. (YUM!) This was extremely rich but very good. Everyone else got donuts with an amazing chocolate mousse/sauce thing on the side which I was very jealous of! I had this with a cup of black coffee.
Dinner
This evening I made Jamie Oliver's Trapani Pasta which is one of Jonathan's favourites. It's actually more of a summer dish as it's made with a raw sauce of cherry tomatoes, almonds, parmesan, anchovies, chilli peppers, basil and garlic. Everyone loved this but I think next time I need to omit the chilli for the children :-/ I sometimes forget the Jamie's recipes can be quite spicy (which we love, but is a bit much for small kids).
Snack
After dinner I tried to keep it healthy with an orange & cherry Fruitopolis yoghurt. I also drank 2L of water today...and that's it!
What did you eat today?!
A bit different from your usual posts! Love looking at yours! I shared my WIAW earlier as well!

Sounds good Anna :)) I unfortunately had one of those days where i eat myself out of house and home. :/ Oh dear... My 9 month old daughter ate well at least lol. xx
ReplyDeleteI had stuffed minced peppers for tea which was delicious! And I also treated myself to some sour skittles, yum :)
ReplyDeleteHi Anna! You sound like you were super busy today! I hope you are all taking it easy now :) Today for breakfast I had peanut butter toast with fresh strawberries on the side and now I'm eating my homemade crockpot chili for lunch. My boyfriend and I work late so dinner wont be until 3am tonight! Have a good night guys!

That dessert looked delicious Anna! Today I had Chex Cinnamon Cereal, in whole organic milk and a coffee. Which is so not my usually breakfast usually I have greek yogurt of some fruit flavor and a piece of fruit like a banana. But, here in Long Island, NY we are snowed in so no work today. lol Midmorning I had some strawberry applesauce "one of those squishy pouch things". For lunch I had some of my grandma's homemade Pasta Fagioli. Late afternoon I had a cutie orange. For dinner my fiance is making homemade gluten free BBQ Chicken pizza, with pepper, onions,chicken and pineapple.
ReplyDeleteAnna; you are amazing! Just know that. You and your entire family is a true beacon of inspiration for us all and bring joy and smiles to thousands of others like me and my family. My whole family loves you, and watches all of your videos on every channel you have. We are hooked to you all! I hope that you had a nice day in London today and that everyone back home is doing good. Looking forward to tomorrows vlog already =) Lots of hugs from Oslo, Norway!
ReplyDeletePs. Hope to meet you here one day!
The pasta looks utterly amazing! As does the cheesecake...very jealous. In a bid to eat healthily, but having no healthy food in the house and no money, I accidentally ended up eating just popcorn today. A* work.

Why does the food in Europe always look delicious??!! That dessert look so amazing that it actually had my mouth watering for some of it! :-) My meals were quite boring to say the least....fruit smoothie, too many granola & nut cookies, chicken sandwich for lunch and chicken salad on kale for supper/dinner all with tons of lemon water to drink. Today was indeed boring!! Thanks for sharing your menu with us!! <3
ReplyDeleteI'll always be thankful to you for posting these What I Ate Wednesdays. Now that I'm used to reading them weekly since last month, I think I'll probably be depressed if you missed to post it one of these days! Haha :)

I've never seen that Jamie Oliver dish. He's fantastic! I'll have to try.
ReplyDeleteLooks so good! I love to see what you eat every wednesday haha

One thing I have to eat in some form every day is peanut butter. I especially love it with apples or bananas as a nighttime snack. Do you eat much peanut butter?
ReplyDeleteThat salad looks really nice!
ReplyDeleteoooh what a busy day for you. Since I read your receipt for porridge I´m a big fan. have you tried overnight oats. also yummy. Yesterday I ate sesame bagel with salami and cheese, salad, tomato, olive (black/green). Snack was a simple joghurt with banana, blueberry and kellogs crunchy nut. for dinner filled paprika. delicious. so I´m waiting for your next post. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHallo Anna,
ReplyDeleteI watch you every day...so I got to know your daily breakfast... I love breakfast so much, and I think it's so important...I wouldn't resist only with a nutri-grain. Chapeau, Anna!
Best wishes to you and your family
You are very healthy, you don't starve yourself or eat insane diet food but you eat a healthy amount of normal food which is really inspirational this time of year especially!! X
ReplyDeleteAlright: I don't normally comment on blogs but here it goes!
ReplyDeleteGreen smoothie and fried eggs for breakfast, sliced turkey/almonds/cheese/dried blueberry/greens salad with an olive oil/vinegar dressing (AMAZING btw) / starbursts and other candy which was bad (but my friend and I were watching the bachelor so I couldn't resist) Coconut milk, and then cereal for a late dinner. Bad i know!!
Anna, I love your question and answer videos. How chatty you are in them and down to earth you seem and the good advice you give us! Thanks for making us videos to watch.
stephanienicole is my beauty/lifestyle channel if you ever get a chance to peek.

Thanks for a great post ! This is just gorgeous !*love* it all as the messages, the pictures and the quality of the writing. Thanks !
ReplyDeleteOh it all looks so amazing! Especially the pasta!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, if you eat bananas when they are still green, they aren't fully ripe yet and can lead to bloating and/or digestive issues. They are best when they have a few spots! :)
xo
Yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are my inspiration. I have recently started blogging doing what I ate Wednesday's, motivational Monday, beauty Tuesday and fitness Friday and I would love it if you could check it out. It is http://georgiaamelia.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1

Do you have Aussie Bites in UK? They are full of aprocots and dates and oats and seeds. They are small and perfect for a meal on the go.
ReplyDeleteEating the trampini dish now, it is amazing and definitely my fave dish, my husband and neighbour were not keen but I love it xx
ReplyDeleteI love your what I ate posts!!
ReplyDeleteI am drooling looking at your dessert! I personally haven't had a proper dessert in such a long time and quite frankly, I miss it A LOT.
