Good Afternoon! Well, posting this morning didn’t happen did it?
I apologize to those of you who click over to the blog hoping for a new post of inspiration or a laugh in the mornings just to find the previous day of news featured. Some days I am great about getting material up bright and early, while others I just go with the flow and post whenever I can. I’m working on trying to stick to more of a schedule for ya!
To spare you from a long story, I woke up feeling under the weather this morning. The server was slow. Migranes are the worst. The end.
But, I’m feeling much better now! To celebrate, let’s move right onto What I Ate Wednesday, highlighting a full day of eats. (It is time for lunch yet?)
What I Ate Wednesday Tuesday
I returned to an old, pretty friend of a milk frother for breakfast. That was exciting, but the star of the meal goes to one of my favorite cereals.
Kashi Organic Promise Island Vanilla topped in almond butter with organic skim milk.
That did a great job of holding me over until I started thinking about lunch after a couple of hours. Ten minutes later, there it was.
Another Amy’s soup for the win!
Amy’s Organic Lentil Soup with a side of Scott’s leftover chopped salad.
Spinach, cucumbers, yellow and red peppers, banana peppers, carrots, black olives, and ground pepper drizzled in balsamic vinegar.
A couple of hours later, I got into a predictable snack with a new twist.
Dill Pickle Wheat Thin crackers with Sabra Pine Nut hummus.
Yup, dill pickle flavor. Don’t knock it ’til you try it, ya’ll.
My day flew by and before I knew it my friend Alex was at my door to pick me up to go to a concert in Plymouth! We stopped by her place first and I got to meet a new puppy friend of her’s named Lincoln.
He has similar facial structures and markings as Roadie! I wanted to eat him up right then and there.
Instead, I settled for another snack of pretzel crisps and hummus… (again). I might have a problem.
Just after 6 p.m. we left with her boyfriend for the Hillsong Young and Free concert!
Some of you may have heard of this mega youth ministry from Australia, but I know a lot of you haven’t. Check out their story. I love their music and everything about them!
Ready to eat anything, the three of us drove back to our home area and Scott and our friend Adam joined us for a late dinner. We chose Bar Louie for their dollar burgers on Tuesdays!
We ordered an (un-pictured) appetizer of chips with a trio of salsa, queso, and guacamole dips that lasted all of two minutes.
And, just so you know, all burgers don’t have to be “burgers”. Alex and I both ordered the same exact turkey burger, bunless, with added vegetables like grilled onions, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and a ton of lettuce with a side of steamed broccoli.
As soon as it got in front of me, I pulled my classic move of cutting it all up, covering it in pepper, and making one big turkey burger mosh salad.
We didn’t discuss it until we were about to leave, but somehow that strategy of eating meals came up in natural conversation. Alex shared how it freaks her out when her food touches, and I shared that I almost always cut it all up and make it some kind of salad or casserole. If it has a lot of veggies, anyways.
I don’t do that with all food, or at nice restaurants, but if I order a turkey burger without the bun and a ton of toppings, you better believe that’s what will happen! Am I alone here?
Question of the Day
• Does it give you the heebie jeebies when your food touches, or are you one to chop it and mix it up?
Like I mentioned above, I usually like to chop everything up before I eat it. I don’t necessarily mix it together, but if there are a lot of vegetables involved I usually do and make one big salad. Ha, I know some of you are cringing reading this! To each it’s own I guess.

![[in our elementary school era] 🚌😭
Skyler did great walking into KINDERGARTEN with a big smile on his face this morning. I, however, was a bit of a mess on our walk home. 🥹
It’s wild how fast these 5 years with him have gone … 7 since we moved to NYC and into our apartment, dreaming of the day our kids would someday go to the *awesome* school right down our block. 🏫
That day is today, and I still don’t believe it — feeling allll of the emotions and thanking God for placing us here and for being able to trust His timing through the journey. 🫶🏼 #hbshinnyc
SO proud of you, SK - you are going to rock your first year at your “big boy school” - WE LOVE YOU !! 🩵👑](https://lifeinleggings.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
DILL PICKLE?! I am sooo sad those aren’t gluten free!!! Okay, going to go cry now.
When it comes to food it can touch…I figure it all goes in the same place anyways. Haha. 🙂
Aw, I know… bummer! Ha, that’s exactly what my dad says!
Dill Pickle Wheat Thins?? I must try these!! I like the Buffalo flavor ones!
Buffalo? I’m sure Scott would be all over those!
I think those dill pickle Wheat Thins sound pretty darn amazing! Have you ever had dill pickle sunflower seeds?! Those are pretty bomb too.
Your turkey burger mosh sounds pretty good to me! As for my food touching, it totally depends. Like Thanksgiving meal, I love taking a little bit of everything in one big bite. But, then other flavors/dishes I like just as they are and not all mixed together.
P.S. LOVE Hillsong! That’s awesome you got to go!
They were awesome! I can’t stop listening to their CD 🙂
I’m the same. Depends on what it is! But either way, I do like to cut everything into pieces first. It’s so weird… ha!
Dill pickle Wheat Thins sound awesome!! Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be on the lookout for those!
They’re pretty epic. I wasn’t a huge fan at first, but the second try got me hooked!
Omg so I was going to comment on all different things until I saw that you got to see Hillsong and that’s all I can write- that is so, so amazing!!! At my church we are constantly doing the newest Hillsong songs and I absolutely love their music! The track Oceans is my favorite (if you haven’t heard it, def youtube it) so that must have been so cool to see them live! I wish they were coming somewhere near me!
We saw the youth ministry of their church – Young & Free – but they were still so, so amazing! I love all of their songs!
Just out of curiosity, what do you do/take to help with your migranes? I have SeVeRe one’s that usually all I can do is go to sleep to get them to go away… needless to say, that can put a damper on things when your out & about on vacations, etc.
…& I am the same way about my food.. I like to mix everything up & eat it like a casserole! ha! I know that sounds gross, but it’s SO GOOD!! 🙂
…& I absolutely LOVE Hillsong!! I know that was a fabulous concert!!
…& those dill pickle crackers look amazing!!
The end. 😉
The only thing that has worked for me is to take Excedrin or Advil, eat a snack (so I don’t take meds on an empty stomach), wash my face if I have makeup on, turn all the lights off in my room and go to sleep with a wet washcloth over my eyes. The combo of all of those things usually works after an hour or so and when I wake up I feel SO much better!
Whenever I crave red meat I like to mosh up a whopper with a side salad!! I make sure I order the whopper/double <— (girl's gotta eat) with extra pickles, too!! I just toss the buns and place on my salad. OMG, it's soo good!! 🙂 Aw, hope you feel better girl! xo
That’s interesting! Sounds similar to my turkey burger mosh! 😉
