What I Ate Wednesday (The Eggcellent Edition)

Last week a confluence of circumstances led to a most eggcellent What I Ate Wednesday.

For breakfast, I had my usual Egg Beaters omelet and whole wheat toast.

For lunch, I had the last piece of quiche from Sunday night.

Quiche

For dinner, I finally tried an Avocado Egg Bake.

I might get an F for variety, but I did have veggies, whole grains, protein, and healthy fats!

My husband is being a good sport about my vegetarian Lent. When he doesn’t feel like having what I’m having, or if I’m working late, he makes himself scrambled eggs and toast. He did that three times last week–once when he was not in the mood for leftover Roasted Vegetable Pasta, once when I had a dinner meeting, and once when he thought I would be home late (so he missed out on the Avocado Egg Bake!). I am tempted to rate the success of my vegetarian meal planning based on how many times he makes himself eggs, but I don’t want to cater to his preference for pasta, grilled cheese and pizza every night.

How do you cope when your family doesn’t like what you fix for dinner?

  5. Screw variety, if you like what you're eating, it doesn't matter 😉

    Although, I used to eat SOOO many eggs, and now I am not allowed to 🙁

    Your egg-in-an-avocado came out MUCH better than when I attempted it lol – nicely done! 🙂

    Love how every meal has eggs! I have been wanting to try the egg avocado bake but worried it won't turn out at all.

    I've got avocados on my kitchen counter right now. I think one of them needs an egg bake. That looks amazing.

  9. I would basically left with just veggies if I gave up meat for lent. But, I did give up talking bad about others, and so far I'm seeing some major improvements. I love lent!

    That avocado + egg combo looks great. I can't eat eggs, but my dad, who has recently acquired a taste for avocados, would love this. I pinned the idea a few weeks ago, but I haven't been able to convince him to try it. Yet. 😉
