WIAW: Sister’s Birthday Weekend

Hello everyone! I’m linking up today for What I Ate Wednesday. This Monday was my younger sister’s 20th birthday, so for the weekend my parents came to visit us and celebrate.

As most of you understand, when family or friends come to visit your healthy eating habits tend to fly right out the window. Mine were already far gone due to returning from fall break and resuming a crazy week of school that was consumed with Homecoming activities.

These Smucker Uncrustables made more than one appearance in front of me during my lunch at school. Hey they were only 75 cents.

Friday night my parents came into town and we went to a high school football game. Many of my students are involved in sports, cheer, band, etc, so I was excited to watch them perform. Unfortunately I had a sorority event to attend before the game so I was in a rush and stopped to get a grilled cheese from Sonic. Food wasn’t allowed in the gates so I had to scarf down my grilled cheese in front of the security guard. One of my classiest moments.

After the game we had to stop to get some frozen ice cream from Caliches. Custard, excuse me. Best frozen custard around.

Saturday morning I took my parents and sister and her boyfriend to one of my favorite local breakfast places called The Shed. I ordered a breakfast burrito with green chile. The waitress warned it was hot and she was not lying. I got a little sweaty will eating my burrito, but it was well worth it. I’d rather my green chile be hot than not.

For dinner in celebration of my sister’s birthday we went to Texas Roadhouse. I ate plenty of rolls with cinnamon butter and enjoyed a filet steak with a baked potato.  It was too much food to take pictures of and mostly it was too dark.

My family seems to find enjoyment out of bowling. On the other hand, I hate bowling. Maybe hate is too strong of a word, but I simply don’t enjoy it. I made it through one game and then luckily we went home to eat CAKE!

My Mom made my sister a pumpkin dream cake with maple cream cheese frosting. Yes, I know I said in yesterday’s post that I can’t even when it comes to pumpkin spice. Well cake is an exception and I may or may not be eating a leftover piece as I type this. Anyways, the cake was amazing.

I had a piece as an afternoon snack on Sunday when I was preparing for the week ahead and watching football.

We concluded our weekend of birthday festivities with lunch at the local Dick’s cafe. Everyone got delicious burgers while I got a plain ol’ chicken quesadilla because that’s what was calling my name.

That sums up my weekend!! After that last week of not-so-healthy meals I’ve finally been a bit more on track this week with an exception of a slice or two of pumpkin cake.

What have you been eating lately? How do you recover from a “bad” week?
