What I Ate Wednesday: Cinnamon Raisin Bread Edition

 

 

It’s time for another installment of What I Ate Wednesday!  Last week’s was a really big hit so I’m definitely going to continue doing it!

What was on the food agenda for me??

Well, for breakfast I had put some whole wheat cinnamon raisin bread in the bread machine the night before!  It turned out soooooo good!  The recipe will be at the end of this post!

I had two slices with a little Earth Balance.  It was amaaaaaaazing!!!  I had this along with copious amounts of caffeine.

 

For lunch I made my new favorite salad!  I can’t believe I’m going to admit this, but I totally ate this salad while I was driving to school.  I put the bowl right in my lap!

In my salad:

  • several big handfuls of Romaine lettuce
  • a few handfuls of broccoli slaw
  • cubed, baked tofu (the love of my life!)
  • sprinkle of wasabi sunflower seeds and sesame sticks
  • 2 T Annie’s Light Gingerly dressing

Don’t forget the apple slices!

Perfection!!

Class was boring as usual.  I think that it gets more and more boring every day.  I’m kind of done with that class, honestly.  Bah!

But I’m NOT done with this after school snack!  (nice transition, huh?)

Chocolate chip coconut granola bar- used this granola bar recipe and added some shredded coconut to it. Mmmm!

 

Dinner was a brand new recipe!  Come back on Monday and you can get the recipe for these Pizza Stuffed Portobellos! (trust me, you’re going to want this recipe!)

We had our stuffed shrooms with some steamed broccoli sprinkled with garlic gold nuggets(love those things!), and a salad with Annie’s light honey mustard.

 

Welp, that’s all my eats for the day!  How about a recipe?  This is a spinoff of my Whole Wheat Cranberry Walnut Bread and it’s fantabulous!

 

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Raisin Bread
(Print this recipe!)

Ingredients:
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup agave nectar (honey would work too if that’s what you have)
3 cups organic whole wheat flour 
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons yeast
1 cup raisins

Directions:
Add ingredients to bread machine in the order that your bread machine recommends (mine says wet ingredients then dry)

Some people say to add fruit and nuts during the last knead cycle, but honestly I just threw them in there with everything else at the beginning and it worked just fine!

Let your bread machine do its thang! (I used the basic 1- 1 1/2 lb loaf size bread setting with a light crust)

Devour!
