Happy Fourth of July! I hope everyone enjoys great food, fun in the sun and a beautiful fireworks display! If you need a quick and delicious recipe to bring to a party, check out my post yesterday to get the recipe for this delicious appetizer:
I tried to add a little red, white, and blue into my eats yesterday for What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW)! Thanks again to Jenn for hosting WIAW. For those of you who don’t know, Jen over at Peas and Crayons hosts WIAW every week – check out her blog for more information on it.
Breakfast was red, white, and blue overnight oats – old fashioned oats, vanilla chobani, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, blueberries and strawberries.
For a mid-morning snack, I had a few of these pomegranate yogurt pretzels that I picked up at a new grocery store that opened nearby. I had never seen pomegranate yogurt pretzels before! So good!
Lunch
Lunch was a strawberry spinach salad from a cafe near my office. It was good, but for some reason, a salad never completely fulfills me for lunch.
I had an unusual pre-dinner snack – a chocolate cookie monster malted milkshake! Luke and I went to look at a washer and dryer set after work and happened to drive by an ice cream shop on the side of the road. I have had a sore throat the past couple of days, so a milkshake sounded perfect. Who says you can’t have dessert before dinner?
Dinner
Dinner was not the healthiest… We went out to a local restaurant called The Puritan that is known for it’s comfort food. Comfort food is rarely healthy! I ordered the Greek Mac ‘N Cheese and had a few of Luke’s chicken tenders (which they are famous for) and sweet potato fries. The mac n’ cheese did come with a side salad and had spinach and scallions in it, so I got a few veggies in! We ended up bringing over half of it home. I think I was still stuffed when I woke up this morning!
And that’s what I ate Wednesday Tuesday!
My night ended with some July 4th fireworks! Enjoy the holiday and I’ll be back tomorrow with a great new burger recipe!
Looks like some fabulous eats! So yummy!!! Happy Fourth! Have a great day! That salad looks awesome! They’re all I’ve been wanting lately!

Comfort food is worth it every now and again
They may not of been the most healthiest choices, but hey it’s summer time… and if you want a milkshake, go for it.. and if your in the mood for comfort food, go for it. It’s not going to hurt
**Oh and I saw the new turkey burger recipe.. looks delicious!!
