Last week was the first time I missed a WIAW since I started blogging, but I’m back at it with some delicious eats and hopefully some meal-time inspiration.
Out and About Eats:
Northstar – Hueveos Rancheros.
New Orleans Style Beignets with Homemade Berry Compote (shared with the table)
Beet, Onion & Goat Cheese Flatbread from Ithaca Beer Company
Ithaca Beer Company Patio
Ithaca Bakery “California Sunrise”- Rosemary Salt Bagel with Egg, Swiss Cheese, Avocado and Red Onion
Easy Eats:
As a busy college chick I’m about fast-fixes, but that doesn’t mean I like sacrifice taste or nutrition.
This Salad was kickin’ – Red Cabbage, Avocado, Kale, Cashews, Walnuts, Craisins with Miso Ginger Dressing
Fage 2% (totally worth the extra fat for a special treat) with walnuts, almond butter, strawberries & raspberry jam
Carob-y, Pumpkin Oats – Oatmeal with pumpkin butter and carob chips stirred in. I can’t get enough carob chips lately. I’ve been putting them in everything. Their less sweet than most chocolate chips but still have that rich taste.
Coconut-Peanut butter with toasted coconut, Carob Chips, Apple Butter & Pecans
Sun-dried Tomato, Chickpeas, Slivered Almonds, Feta & Craisin Salad with Sesame Ginger Dressing.
Getting Creative in the Kitchen:
Sauteed kale and red pepper, sweet potato with creamy greek yogurt-mustard sauce and fried egg
Gluten-Free Chickpea-PB Muffins (recipe to come soon!)
Farmer’s Market Feast: Pumpkin-Sage Ravioli with Sauteed Peppers and Onions with a side salad
Apple Picking Adventures:
It’s no secret I’m obsessed with apples. So when my mom came up to visit me in Ithaca Apple Picking was on the short list of “must-do’s.” We went to Littletree Orchards and I don’t think I’ve sampled/eaten that many apples in my life. Over the past week and half I’ve devoured my picked peck. So. Freakin’ Good.
I’m gearing up for my first ever half marathon in less than 2 weeks! I’m equally excited and nervous – but I’m so ready for the challenge.
Thanks to Peas & Crayons for hosting
Hope everyone is staying happy and healthy.
Question time:
- Apples vs. Pumpkins? Who wins?

That beet and goat cheese pizza looks amazeballs! I’m currently eating a vegan diet- and goat cheese is the only thing I miss!
I’m also running my first ever half marathon November 3rd! EEEK!
That’s the same day I’m running mine! Woop- I’ll be sending over some good vibes
What is with that Johnny Appleseed photo thing? Haha why is there a face where is hand is?!
Apple picking is so much fun! I go every year 😀
Turns out you were supposed to put your arm through where I put my face and it looks like you’re holding your hand up to eat an apple. Nell and I did NOT get the memo- we just look like goofs
how about apples AND pumpkins 🙂 Apples are plentiful and you get to pick more of them but pumpkins are just so much fun and so unique!
Yes. Best answer!
I really need to find an apple picking place- it looks so fun!!
Apple picking is a total blast! Such a fun fall activity- plus you are rewarded with tons of apples
