What I ate Wednesday

The other night I was playing on pinterest and somehow stumbled upon this lovely lady. 

And I signed up for my first ever Foodie Pen Pal! 

I was assigned a pen pal to send TO and one I will be receiving FROM and I 'met' these two really neat fun ladies by reading their blogs. They are both have WAY healthier life styles than me... and I learned a lot scrolling through their prior posts.

One of the things I read about was WIAW- What I ate Wednesdays...

I think it is supposed to be a healthy thing, but I thought it looked fun to just do... then I will review and try to make improvements. SO here is my first WIAW----

Started off the day with my usual Nutri-grain bar and water - 

Mid morning snack--- a handful of yummy goldfish 

 For Lunch I grabbed some Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus, a pita and a DP .... They give you SO much hummus per serving I could only eat 1/3 of this... snack for tomorrow! 

  My friend Jereme made a plate of cookies for my birthday and brought them today... so I had to have one!

Wednesday night is Bible Study/Family night so I always try to make something new when everyone comes over. Tonight I made Taco Macaroni and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

Ingredients

• 1 package (16 ounces) elbow macaroni
• 1 pound ground beef
• 3/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
• 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
• 1 envelope taco seasoning
• Shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

• Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a Dutch
• oven, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer
• pink; drain.
• Stir in the tomatoes, soup, tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Bring to
• a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until
• thickened.
• Drain macaroni; stir into meat mixture and heat through. Sprinkle
• with cheese. Yield: 6 servings.

It says 6 servings but it was more like 10 for us... Everyone agreed it just tastes like goulash lol. 

The cake was good, but sure sat in my stomach like a brick! If you are interested in the recipe click here
