What I Ate Wednesday is a visual food journal for one day of eats in my life for all to see!
Yes you are seeing correctly, that is chocolate pudding. We were headed to the beach last Friday and I had made this recipe the day before and well, it was staring at me in the fridge! But it sure is healthy, full of fiber too, dairy free, low carb and delicious: Chocolate Chia Pudding.
Since I knew we were headed to the beach I made my life a little easier by stopping at Trader Joes on the way to buy myself a salad.
Super yummy with quinoa, chickpeas and a carrot miso dressing.
When we got home from the beach I was famished so I pulled out my favorite snack ever; hummus and carrots!
For dinner I decided to make my family a recipe from two of my RI blogger buddies who just released their cookbook, Rhode Island Recipes!
My friends, Jennifer from Savor the Thyme and Lydia from The Perfect Pantry, have put together some amazing recipes using unique local food items from RI.
The one recipe that caught my eye and I knew would win over my family is the Rhode Island Weiner Spice Meatballs!
My hubby and children were shocked at how much they really tasted like a weiner within the meatball. NONE left over, WIN!
Some other exciting recipes I will be trying is the Italian Twist Guacamole and the Smoky Spicy Cole Slaw!!
If you'd like one you can order in paperback or a kindle version here! So happy for them!
Before bed I had some plain Greek yogurt with a peach and added some Simply Stevia Peach Liquid drops!! So delish! It case you missed it yesterday there's a Give Away happening for the Simply Stevia, you can check it out here.
That was it! I was wiped out from the beach so called it a night!
I'm taking a POLL!!
QUESTION FOR YOU: How many of you would purchase an ecookbook or regular cookbook of my recipes, or which would you prefer?

Being an international fan, ... I imagine it would be cheaper to get an e-recipe book - I would buy it - but probably not if it only had your already blogged recipes. 🙂 Love your recipes, and many have become regulars at our house!

I think I would purchase either cookbooks. I love having a hardcopy of things, but it may be easier for you to create the ecookbook. I love the idea though!

A day at the beach....what a treat! We live 12 hrs from a beach so I'm a bit jealous 🙂 I so hope I win the Simply Stevia giveaway....I'm in love w/ Nunaturals but am interested in their flavors.
I would purchase an ecookbook with your recipes for sure!
Brenda
Thanks Leigh Anne!

Your insides seriously LOVE YOU right now, that food just SCREAMS HEALTHY! 😀
Brenda
Hahaha, thank you!
Jennifer (Savor)
Thank you for taking the time to make the meatballs for your family and share our book!
Brenda
My pleasure Jenn! We absolutely loved them!

Even though I have the computer and a Kindle, I would still purchase an actual book so that I could have it in the kitchen at all times. Because our budget is so tight, I am adding a few items I will need to make these different recipes every week.
Is Stevia Vanilla available at our regular markets? I've been using splenda so I wanted to also know is there a reason you use Stevia?
Once again, thank you for your site and thank you again for putting up free recipes for us! Have a wonderful Wednesday!!!!
Brenda
Hi Lisa, I purchase stevia online as it's cheaper than in markets. I have a coupon code you can use at iherb.com which is YAJ035 and you will get a reasonable amount off. I was highly addicted to splenda and realized it was causing me to crave and over eat. Here's a post I wrote about it: https://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/3-splenda-myths-busted/

You made the meatballs! I'm so glad your family liked them. They've become a real favorite in our house, and I make large batches and keep them in the freezer. Thanks so much for mentioning our cookbook, too.
Brenda
YES!! Family and I LOVED them! Great recipe and really all of them look delicious! Good Job!
