Happy What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW), friends!

Here is a look at what I ate yesterday — Tuesday, May 6, 2014.

Breakfast: Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt with Peach and 1/3 cup maple and cinnamon granola

A weekday breakfast staple! (I raved about this combo at length on WIAW #1.)

Lunch: Leftover Chicken Fajitas from Lauriol Plaza and 1/2 cup blueberries

Until about 5 years ago, I was convinced that I didn’t like Mexican food. Then along came Chipotle — we had it catered for work the first time I tried it — and my life was changed forever! Now I can’t get enough of Mexican food, especially fajitas! Lauriol Plaza, in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of D.C. — one of my absolute favorite Mexican restaurants and one of the best in the city — is within walking distance of my office, and I enjoyed Cinco de Mayo lunch there on Monday.

One of the greatest things about cutting my portions is having more restaurant leftovers! Before I started consciously watching my intake, I would often eat an entire restaurant meal in one sitting. But since I paid attention to my hunger signals and kept my portions in check on Monday, I was able to take some of the deliciousness back to the office for lunch yesterday!

Although only one is pictured, I had two leftover fajitas with flour tortillas, about 2 ounces of chicken, about 1/3 cup of cheddar cheese, and a few fajita vegetables. On the side, I had about 1/2 cup each of refried black beans and Mexican rice. (I put some of the black beans in my fajitas, too.)

I think the chicken is one of the things that I like the best about Lauriol Plaza’s fajitas. Unlike when I make them at home, using marinated boneless, skinless chicken breasts, Lauriol Plaza uses pieces of skin-on rotisseried whole chicken for their fajitas. You can definitely tell the difference! (My homemade fajitas are a close and inexpensive second, though.)

My other favorite thing at Lauriol Plaza is the refried black beans! I could eat bowls and bowls full of them. While I’ll usually eat any form of refried beans, refried black beans are definitely my favorite — but also much harder to come by for some reason.

To top off my leftover Mexican lunch, I had about 1/2 cup of blueberries:

These were so much better than the ones I bought a few weeks ago!

Dinner: 1 pouch Campbell’s Spicy Chorizo and Pulled Chicken with Black Beans Go Soup and a Pepperidge Farm Artisan French Roll with 1 Tbsp. Land O Lakes Butter with Canola Oil

I wasn’t in the mood to cook a big meal last night (which has been happening more than it should lately), so my hubby and I each selected our own easy-to-prepare items from the fridge or pantry. He heated up some leftover Chinese food that he had ordered on Monday night when I was out of the house, and I decided to heat some soup and a dinner roll.

I’m a huge fan of both of these items, and you can typically find them in our house at any given time.

On a side note, I read in a Forbes article a few years ago that Campbell’s started making these soups in a pouch in order to appeal to my demographic. (It seems that their efforts are working, because I am consistently buying them…) Apparently millennials don’t think that canned soup is cool.

I also need to give a shout-out to this butter:

I’m a butter addict, and I’m not sure what exactly it is about this particular kind, but it is fantastic. I’ve actually started measuring out my butter before I eat a dinner roll at home in order to make sure that I’m not using too much. That is how much I love it.

Dessert: Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg

I was definitely craving sweets after dinner — especially cookies and milk — but I knew that I didn’t actually need that much. I settled on one of these 90 calorie mini peanut butter eggs from my Easter basket instead.

It fed the need without the guilt!

It was definitely another good day of eats!

Thank you for hosting the WIAW link-up, Jenn!

Do you prefer flour tortillas or corn tortillas? Flour tortillas all the way for me! I know that corn tortillas are supposed to be the healthier choice, but I just can’t do them (unless they are in chip form).

Have you tried any of the Campbell’s Go Soups? So far I’ve only eaten the chicken and chorizo variety, but I have a Thai curry one in the pantry to try, too.
