Shamrocks & Seaweed on a Green WIAW

March 14, 2012 By Heather Blackmon

.

St Patty’s Day is this weekend, so it’s time to really amp up the Shamrock love on this week’s What I Ate Wednesday.

And since I’ve been eating SeaSnax like there’s no tomorrow, I may just turn into a piece of seaweed before we get to Saturday! These things really are seriously addicting – it’s a good thing I’ve started ordering a case as the start of each month. =)

Since I realized last week that I wasn’t eating my normal allocation of green veggies, I focused on getting more veggies in every meal. It’s been a successful (and delicious) week, but I must have been more focused on eating my food than photographing my food. Not as many photos to choose from as usual. 🙂

1 – Veggie Quesadillas with Guacamole from Cans || 2 – Kale Salad (in many varieties) || 3 – My case of SeaSnax || 4 – Cozy Millet Bowl with Mushroom Gravy and Kale from Oh She Glows with a side of baby broccoli || 5 – Chipotle Seasnax || 6 – Tuna(free) Salad Sandwiches from Veganize It!

Don’t forget to head over to Jenn’s place (aka Peas & Crayons) to check out a few more green WIAW posts of the week! Did you link up this week?

In other food-related Better With Veggies news:

  • I’ve created on board on Pinterest that holds my Better With Veggies recipes: check it out!
  • I also migrated my recipes to Recipage, which makes it easy to pin, print, and share – plus it just looks cooler. 🙂

And finally, a few St Patty’s themed recipes I’ve pinned recently, that you may want to check out! Okay, so I guess these are really mint-themed, but they seem St Patty’s-ish to me!

Questions for You:

  • What St Patty’s Day recipes have you been checking out recently?
  • What flavors do you think of when you think of St Patty’s Day?
  • Do you follow the tradition of pinching people who aren’t wearing green on St Patty’s Day? I wonder where that came from?

Welcome

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
