WIAW #7

Happy Leap Day!  Maybe it is the novelty that it should be March 1st right now...or maybe I'm just strange (uh yup, more likely)...but I'm pretty excited that 2012 is a day longer than usual!  Also because I have a couple fun ideas for the kiddo I nanny for and I to do later on!  Ohhh, and that we all get extra snacking time in this year! ;)  If you're looking for a new healthy snack to conquer that "salt tooth," then check out yesterday's post.  (Sorry about the self-promotion, but these are too good not to share with my WIAW amigos.)

A big thank you to Jenn for hosting, as always, and thank you for swinging through!

Breakfast: Honey Whole Wheat Chia Seed Pancakes w/ a scrambled egg
These pancakes were sooo good - great flavor & very filling.  I got the recipe from a blog I read often, Peanut Butter Fingers.  There are some really great recipe ideas on there, as well as fun workouts! 

Lunch: Mushroom-Scallion Frittata w/ salad
I'm not normally a big fan of mushrooms but, for whatever reason, this frittata was screaming my name when I saw it in Whole Living's Power Foods.  I had the entire thing whipped up in less than 15 minutes and each serving is only 112 calories - and a serving is a quarter of the pan, not some teeny sliver like some recipes.  A definite repeater!  I'll be posting the recipe sometime soon, so make sure to check back. 

Dinner: Healthy, Hearty Chili chock filled with vegetables & topped w/ Greek yogurt & cilantro
Another recipe that I scored from a blog - Fit in Heels.  It is seriously veggie-packed with tomatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and zucchini (chopped & grated) as well as protein-packed chicken breast and beans.  I spiced it up with plenty of cayenne, of course. ;)

Snack #1: Quaker Oat Banana Bread bar
I picked these bars up after a friend recommended them.  They taste just like a piece of banana bread and are nice and soft.  I'd rather have a slice of homemade bread (who wouldn't?) but these will definitely be a great quick snack to have on hand.

Snack #2: Fresh pineapple
Nothing to say here except yum!
Have you tried any new foods or tasty products lately?  I have been discovering a lot of new foods/products through WIAW, which is another bonus of playing along!
