Fall Series : What I Eat in a Day

Hello everyone! For some reason, I'm always super interested in knowing what other people eat on an everyday basis. I often read Anna Saccone's What I ate Wednesday and I always thought that it was a fun concept so today I decided to share what I typically eat in a day during the fall months!

Breakfast

I usually have breakfast around 7 am when I have school. I always like a cup or two of coffee with my berry smoothie to help me start off my day. If you're interested in knowing how I make my everyday berry smoothie check out my recipe here.

Lunch

 Next, this is the kind of lunch I will be having if I'm coming back home from school. I could show you lunches that I bring at school if any of you is interested as well. This is a grilled cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread with tomato based veggie soup, perfect for cool fall days!

Dinner

 My last meal of the day varies according to my mood. Today, I felt like cooking so I made a salad with tuna on a 9 grain wrap. In case you're curious, my usual salad contains lettuce, a bit of sharp cheddar cheese, a quarter of an avocado, marinated roasted red peppers, sugar snap peas and cucumbers. It's my favorite!

Snacks

To make my life easier, I took a picture of all the snacks I had today instead of snapping a picture every time. I like to have a variety of things for snacks, but I'm big on fruits a lot of the time. Today I had a strawberry-chocolate yogurt with granola, one mandarin, a cup of peach applesauce and a red plum. I also had 2,5 liters of water (5 bottles of water during the day) and a few cups of ginseng Oolong tea.

That's all I eat on a typical day! Obviously my meals do vary so if you're interested for me to do this more often, let me know!

A morning in Chinatown ♥

My boyfriend and I both had a day off today so we decided to go to chinatown for some shopping and noms! We had a great time and picked up tons of goodies! I love how everything (food-wise) in chinatown is much cheaper than everywhere else. I got a huge pouch of Japanese rice for only 6.50$ =D I normally pay 10$ for the same amount at the grocery store. If you take into consideration that everything I buy there is discounted, it adds up to quite a good amount of savings! Plus, most things are hard to find at the store anyway.

First, we went to a cute shop hidden on the second floor of a non descript building. I can’t remember how I discovered this place, but I doubt I would have on my own. The entrance is practically hidden. Every time I go to china town I go there and pick up some Yan Yan and some origami paper to make stars! They have the cutest little things ♥ pens, papers, mangas, posters, wallets, etc. I have to keep myself from spending a fortune =p

The picture is a little bit blurry but these are origami papers made for making little 3D stars. These are hello kitty and shimmery... pretty =o

Yummy Yan Yan! Strawberry and chocolate. I have never tried the strawberry cream yet, I can't wait =D

Then, we went to the grocery store to pick up some of our favourites

This is all the baking/meal things that I got. Some bok choy, short grain rice, veggie dumplings (which we ended up hating :S) and imitation crab legs (surimi). I bought two packs of those crab legs because they were so inexpensive. You can't tell in the picture, but on the price tag it says 2.99$. Awesome deal =D

These are all the treats I bought today; I bought 2 packs of shrimp chips, some strawberry and chocolate Yan Yan, a pack of lychee jellies and mini cupcakes. ♥

Finally, we went to our favourite asian bakery Harmonie.This place is absolutely fabulous =3

I’ve discovered this bakery through my brother about a year ago. He loves to hang out in chinatown and buy all the anime stuff he can find XD

Harmonie bakery make really tasty and super cheap pastries, savory ones and sweet ones alike ♥ I haven't seen many savory pastries in bakery shops before, but I love them! The prices are really reasonable (we bought 3 pastries for 3.60$ recently, incredible!) and they also have really tasty bubble teas. This time we went a little crazy and ended up paying 16$ for the two of us. That included 2 bubble teas, 1 package of mini cupcakes and 5 pastries. I think it’s an amazing deal! We kept the cupcakes for later because we were stuffed =)

Those are all of the savory pastries we got

The mini cupcakes were only 3$ ♥ and they're delicious

Garlic bread, yum! The garlic taste is very strong, if you like garlic, this is heaven.

My tuna pastry

That's what the tuna pastry looks like inside. It's the second time I purchase this because it's really good =D

My sausage pastry was very tasty as well. The dough is a little sweeter than you would expect, but it balances out the saltyness of the sausage nicely.

This is my boyfriend's ham and egg pastry, I tried it and it was amazing! It pretty much tastes exactly how you'd expect an ham and egg pastry to taste, but that's a good thing =p

And that's the inside of it. I love this shot!

My boyfriend also chooe this mayo and sausage one. Didn't get to taste it but it looked good.

We picked up two peach bubble teas as well ♥ What are your favorite flavors? Mine are peach, pineapple and green apple!

So that was our morning in chinatown =D it was so much fun!

Yummy snack : Yan Yan

Every time I go to china town, I have to have one of these!

They used to be everywhere in china town but now they’re kind of hard to find. Especially my two favourites: chocolate hazelnut cream, and chocolate and candy! They seem to be similar to the popular Poky you can find everywhere, but you dip the cookies yourself. So much more fun to me! ♥

Have you tried Yan Yan? Where do you buy yours? =D
