Hi everyone! This week was filling with many delicious dishes and I took a lot of pictures! Be sure to follow me on Instagram to see daily photos as there is a lot on there that don’t make it onto the blog! As always, if you are a food blogger and enjoy reading these posts, head on over to Peas and Crayons and link up your WIAW post. It’s a great way to find other food blogs and for them to find you!
So let’s dive into this week’s What I ate Wednesday post!
Breakfast
Under all the fruit in this bowl is oatmeal! I love oatmeal in the mornings because it is very filling, nourishing and can be topped with lots of fruit! I used my oatmeal recipe and topped it with fresh berries, mango and star fruit! I had never actually purchased a star fruit before {I’ve only tasted it at restaurants} so when I saw my local grocery store had a couple I knew I needed to purchase one! They are a tropical fruit, loaded with vitamins and fibre. I would say the flavour is slightly bland with a hint of citrus. Overall not the most flavourful fruit, but it definitely makes any dish more vibrant! I think it would be a great addition to top on a salad, baked good or even in water if you wanted to brighten things up!
Lunch
If you read my last WIAW post then you will know I had a spelt pizza kit that came with 4 individual spelt pizza crusts and tomato sauce. This week I decided to top it with spinach, cherry tomatoes and ham! I normally am not someone who reaches for ham, but this actually came out super delicious! Any suggestions on types of pizza I should make this week?!
Dinner
Dinner was super simple, I think taco salad is very underrated! This dish took only 20 minutes to prepare. Starting from the bottom it has whole grain taco chips, then beef, sautéed red, orange and yellow bell peppers and mushrooms, and finally topped with tomatoes and avocados. Last week I posted a blog post about how to build a healthy plate and this is a great example- Lots of veggies, protein and healthy fats!
This photo was taken with my iPhone, and it is one of my favorite pictures! I love all the colour on the plate mixed with the checkered flooring!
And that’s all! Thanks so much for reading!

Thanks so much Marissa!
I love colorful eats, and you definitely have those.
Happy WIAW!!
Thanks Meghan! :)
All of your meals look super fresh, vibrant [yes to eating the rainbow!] and delicious. And now I want pizza for lunch. Have you ever tried adding chickpeas? I know it sounds odd but they’ve become one of my favourite toppings.
I’ve never tried that but now I am super curious!! I will let you know how it goes:)
Thanks for your comment!!
I love taco salads. I eat at least one a week!
If you’re looking to try a non-traditional type of pizza, hummus (instead of tomato sauce) and roasted veggies (ie: brussels and sweet potato) make a great topping combo.
That sounds delicious!!
