Happy Hump Day!
It’s my favorite time of week.. where Jenn helps us all out by throwing a little link party – called What I Ate Wednesday.
I have been insanely busy this week – so I provide you with some recent eats. Not what I ate on Wednesday.. and not even all of what I ate on Tuesday. But – it has been what I have eaten in the past couple of days! 🙂
Hope you all got a change to watch my VLOG on how I prep my overnight oats.. because now you are fully equipped with the right information – on how to prepare yourself a lovely little bowl of these:
I do hope you give my trick a try! And if you do.. please let me know! Perhaps you find a way to switch it up a little bit – to make it even better!
A amazing lunch I had recently – was a Turkey Bacon BLT. I used a couple of slices of Turkey Bacon – with some lettuce.. and tomato (Duh.. hence the BLT) and two slices of Whole Wheat Ezekiel Bread. On the side – I have some yummy cottage cheese – with heated apple chunks and peanut butter. It was a delicious mixuture.
I’ve been loving my fresh veggies lately – so snacks have been anything from raw zucchini to carrots to sliced red peppers. And then some!
And this dinner. OMG. It was DELICIOUS. I will be providing you with the foodgasmic recipe on Foodie Friday – but here is a little preview of the goodness that I like to call Caribbean Jerk Turkey Burgers with Homemade Mango Salsa.
Gah. Delicious. I can’t wait to make these again. I really enjoyed my experience with the homemade salsa.. and will totally be trying different mixtures in the future!
And of course.. I have been chomping on these healthy blueberry oat bran muffins that I made this weekend!!
So – what is the BEST thing that you have eaten recently?! Care to share any amazing recipe links?

oh man that sandwich looks amazing!!! I love turkey between toasted bread 🙂 it’s the best
I can’t wait for that jerk burger recipe!
Best thing lately… I feel lame saying “oatmeal” but that zucchini oatmeal I made the other day was awesome. Idid it again with blueberries, walnuts, nutmeg and a little almond extract and it was just as scrumptious.
I think it’s a toss up for me between my chocolate chip cookies that I made last night (recipe here: http://caitsplate.me/2011/06/02/mixed-measured-scooped/) and the stir-fry I made for dinner! (recipe here: http://caitsplate.me/2011/06/15/chi-chi-chi-chia/) 🙂
definitely going to check those meals out!
I love mango salsa! It looks so good with a turkey burger! YUM!!
Something about the words mango salsa always makes me go YUM and FANCY! Sounds so good!
The best thing I’ve had lately is the 1/2 a bagel I had as part of breakfast 🙂
Bagels! Those are always delicious1 🙂
A jerk burger…yum! Can’t wait for that one.
This does not sound good at all, but I was totally craving it and loved it yesterday. An egg salad sandwich with bacon and arugula on whole wheat. Delicious!
Defintely an interesting mixture.. but I won’t knock it until I try it! 🙂
I love jerk seasoning! I’m excited for the recipe. The best thing I’ve eaten lately is a giant and super flavorful sweet potato. Love those things!
Sweet Potatoes = LOVE
BLT’s!! Where have they been in my life? Somehow I’d completely forgotten about this humble, yet amazingly delicious sandwich! When I was little, I was the five-year-old who ordered BLT’s at diners instead of grilled cheese.
Looking forward to the Carribean Jerk Turkey Burger recipe!
I knowww!!! I hadn’t had them in forever.. and suddenly they popped into my head!
Oooh wow, I love the idea of mango salsa! I’m going to try that definitely – I have three mangoes waiting to be used!!
Best thing I ate recently would be cinnamon puffins!! We don’t get them here in the UK and can only order them which is soo expensive but they are SO worth it. I am in LOVE with puffins!! I so wish we had them here 😦
Aww.. I’ve never even had puffins.. I suppose I should give them a shot since everyone seems to rave about them!
Hmmm I made a huge pot of black beans with cilantro, onion, and garlic, and they turned out amazing! I’ve been eating them all week and loving them!
That sounds delicious!
I have been in love with the breakfast cookie lately and anything that can be grilled! I LOVE summer foods!!
I always think that the last thing I ate was the best thing ever. So I’m really not one to ask! 🙂
Hahahha.. too funny. I mean.. in reality. why would we be eating something if it didn’t have the potential to be the best thing eaten?!
I’m sure the African Peanut Stew that I was TRYING to make today would have been the best thing ever… booo for burnt peanuts! Your jerk turkey burger looks great!
Aww.. sorry you burnt the peanuts! Youll get it next time!
That burger with mango salsa looks so good! I’ve been carrot ginger soup recently, feels so healthy but still has taste (or maybe I’ve just needed veggies…)
Ginger soup.. now that sounds like an interesting soup that would be worth trying! Homemade?
loveeeee that mango salsa!!!! ive been loving the usual lately- in such a rut so all the usuals u see on MnM!
As long as you are still enjoying the foods, then I wouldn’t call it a rut! You are just eating what you like!
Yummmmmy!! How do you make your mango salsa?
Recipe will be posted Friday! 🙂
Ummm can’t waaait for that recipe. Delicious eats for me lately? Chips & salsa…no idea what’s up, but I can’t get enough!
Chips and Salsa.. haven’t had that in FOREVER!

I had chocolate oats this morning. I can’t believe I don’t put cocoa powder in there more often- it was AMAZING!
I knowww.. isn’t is SO good!?
Wow that jerk turkey burger looks incredible for sure! I’ve been on a huge Cheerios kick, love the stuff! 😀
Mmm cherrios! I am now craving honey nut.. with bananas!
… probably my dinner a night or two ago, which was my first vegetarian meal attempt. Lots of veggies and pasta. Soo good! 🙂
Mmm I love veggie pasta mixes!
Nothing says summer like mango salsa! I want some now, mmm 🙂
I know right! I had some more tonight.. well mango.. I didn’t feel like making the salsa.. but just mango slice on a turkey burg were delish too!
wowiee! I’ll have to watch your blog. Always looking for new oats ideas. I love the looks of those sweet taters too- such a wonderful color!
best thing lately would probably be….kabocha squash!
I’ve neer had kabocha squash.. but have been reading tons on it lately!
thanks for the link to the vlog! I love overnight oats but always like to see how other people make theirs. yours look so thick and creamy!
mmm I love all of your fresh eats Cait, especially your fresh mango salsa! 🙂
I wish that I could say that I’ve been doing lots of new cooking but I’ve been eating a lots of green veg and that’s good enough for me 🙂
Hope you have a great rest of your week! 🙂
