This past week I’ve been on a cake feeding frenzy…
…that’s what happens when you’re trying to develop a recipe… you have to taste it to make sure it’s good right?!
At least it’s healthy cake!
That brings me to What I Ate Wednesday.
Head over to Jen’s blog to join the WIAW party 
Breakfast on Tuesday was mmmm cake, lots of leftover cake from my attempts at trying to turn the 2 minute lemon chia cake into a normal sized cake.
And the cake was my morning snack too =)
Lunch was this coconut-ginger-garlic rice. I cooked basmati rice with minced garlic and ginger. Then I made a sauce out of coconut flour, garlic, ginger, salt and water. It was white sauce on white rice… a big culinary no-no but so good. Too bad you can’t see the sauce = camouflage.
About an hour later my body craved some veggies… hmmm wonder why… maybe it was all that cake!
Into the salad mix = hummus, spinach, carrots, sunflower seeds, lemon juice, and honey
Dinner
We rarely eat out but when we do you’ll usually find us at Sharky’s. If you haven’t been to a Sharky’s… dang you gotta come out to California just for something off the Naked Menu! So good! I usually order the Naked Veggie Bowl — comes with organic tofu, brown rice, black beans, zucchini, peppers, onions, and guacamole. I gave the low-fat sour cream to Michael… not a big fan of the stuff.
Sort of a crazy day of eats… snacks not pictured included almonds, Puffins, and greek yogurt. Hopefully after this cake making madness I’ll get back to normal eating!
See you on Friday with the big daddy lemon chia cake recipe and a weekly recap of my fitness adventures. Have a great day!

Apparently, Florida is missing out on Sharkys! We have no naked veggie menus like that here

When (not if) I come to California, I will be stopping at Sharkys! Obviously it sounds like a rather ideal place for me

It doesn’t really do anything for me either.

wow i love finding healthy eating places. i would love that salad bowl! i also love basmati rice. is basmati considered to be white rice? i always wondered about it!

Brown basmati rice definitely will give you the maximum health benefits! White basmati rice is a more processed form of the rice… although it still ranks low-medium on the GI index whereas white rice ranks high on the GI index.

Bottom line… go with brown basmati if given the choice =)
ahhh that dinner looks absolutely delicious!

As if I needed more reasons to want to go to California–that meal looks delicious! And I love the camouflage sauce, haha. Looks like a bowl of rice–but I’m sure it was tasty with those ingredients!

Sounds like a yummy day! I love eating hummus w/ my salads. Our friends own a Greek/Persian restaurant close to our house and they always give us a free serving of hummus when we go. Since I can’t eat the pita {probably a good thing!} I always save it to eat w/ my Greek salad. Delicious!

Looking forward to the cake recipe!! I might just have to make it out to cali to try that dish!
Hi Lisa. Look forward to the cake recipe. But also wish I could stick my fork through the monitor and have some of that salad. Hummus and salad together? Yum. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

We don’t have a Sharky’s here in Chicago but we have a place called Qdoba that looks very similar!
Loving all your cake recipes! Now I just need to make one soon!

Nothing wrong with too much cake! Sharky’s looks great too… yummo. Looking forward to your full size version of the lemon cake … knowing me, I’ll eat the whole thing to myself, ha.

I’m on the lookout for a healthy cake for my daughter’s birthday…i’ll have to check out yours!
Laura recently posted..WIAW and Birthday cake help
Great idea!! For the cake on Friday I’m using dates and bananas as natural sweeteners… perfect for kids!!
So I didn’t get around to using dates in the recipe but you can blend 5 dates with the banana and almond milk to use in place of the sugar/stevia… perfect for a little one =)
Tasty eats as usual..I luv the dressing on the salad..hummus…then some lemon and honey..I will have to try the lemon & honey together..sounds great! I have decided to cut back on baking/treats as I was tired of tasting//feeling full and sometimes with nothing to show except a full belly and a flop! You’ll get it though I am sure..still can’t wait to try the mini version! Have a great day!
