Are you ready for a slight picture overload? Because it’s coming. Lots of food was consumed yesterday, and if you don’t believe me, just wait until dinner!
Breakfast
A spinach, onion and goat cheese omelet made with 1 egg and 1 egg white. A juicy slice of watermelon on the side.

Morning Snack
I munched on this granny smith on the way to yoga. I hate those stickers they put on the fruit. It’s all organic until you gunk it up with sticker goo. Ick.
I also enjoyed my Juice Plus – like candy!

Lunch
I loaded up with veggies at lunch time, snacking on 2 carrots and a green pepper with hummus while throwing together my mixed greens salad with tomatoes, onion, green pepper, an Amy’s California Burger and a drizzle of Newman’s Light Balsamic.

Afternoon Snack
Yesterday was a busy day around the house, and after yoga, I ended up cutting the grass, too. Needless to say, my body was begging to be refueled after all that exercise (like I said before, our yard is pretty big!), so I had a peanut butter and banana quesadilla, a delicious black cherry Chobani and my current vice, La Croix.

Dinner
This is where things get interesting…
Since I wasn’t feeling great on Monday, we decided to go out and celebrate our 2 year anniversary with a fancy Tuesday night dinner. I was hungry and excited- and we indulged at Epic Chop House.
Nothing like pregnancy hormones to ignite an appetite… Here goes nothing!
Jumbo Lump Crab Fritters
With Green Tabasco Butter & Savory Tobacco Onions
I ate 2.
Warm Bread and Butter
I only ate 1 small piece. I’d rather save room for the good stuff.
Fresh Mozzarella & Tomato
Sweet Sliced Tomatoes and Fresh Mozzarella laced with Fresh Basil Pesto, Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Glaze
I ate about 1/3 of this. It was OK. The tomatoes were a little bland, but the balsamic never disappoints!
Petite Filet Mignon
8 oz Barrel Cut. The Most Tender Cut of Beef!
Hallelujah! One of the most perfectly cooked, well seasoned, melt-in-your-mouth steaks I’ve ever had the pleasure to enjoy! I ate just over half, and share the rest with Hubbs. We both closed our eyes to savor it. Amazing!
The asparagus was well done, too. Crisp, not overcooked, and fresh! It was not soaked in butter or oil, which I appreciated. I ate about half of that as well. We like to share 🙂
Wild Mushroom Risotto
Although it was more sticky than creamy, the cheesy flavor was delicious, and i loved the big pieces of wild mushrooms throughout it. Yummy! I picked out most of the mushrooms and ate about a 1/2 cup total.
I was pretty please with myself for taking small bites of everything so I could really enjoy the flavors, rather than stuff myself. Best of all, it meant I still had room left over to split this little piece of heaven with my groom…
Key Lime Pie
Hubbs is a self proclaimed Key Lime Pie expert, so when it melted in my mouth, I still waited to hear his opinion.
“That’s a pretty darn good key lime pie”
And that’s a pretty darn good compliment from Hubbs! It was tart, with a hint of sweetness and firm, but not too hard graham cracker crust. Oh it was SO good.
I totaled things up to the best of my ability once I got home. I was proud that I didn’t stuff myself (which I have a tendency to do) and I felt fully satisfied, not uncomfortable, after our decadent anniversary feast.

My thoughts? Perhaps a few more calories than I usually eat, but with yoga and grass cutting, I think I needed them. Plus, I’m still super proud of my ability to control myself around all the deliciousness that was dinner.
What’s your favorite dessert in a restaurant?
We don’t usually order one, but since I haven’t been drinking, I’ve been more apt to order a sweet something at the end of a meal. I like lighter desserts and opt for key lime pie, something with berries and creme brulee!
Anastasia says
Your breakfast looks amazing! I love watermelon and need to get one pronto ’cause I’m craving it now :]
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
Brittany your eats look delicious!
At restaurants I usually don’t get dessert — but if I do, I usually get an apple crisp/cobbler or a piece of fruit pie. I love fruit pies like cherry, blueberry, etc.
Autumn @ Good Eats Girl says
Everything looks great! I always ordered dessert while I was pg….it made me feel better on the days when I wanted a glass of wine or something with dinner! 🙂
Brittany says
Exactly! No wine means more calories for sweets… although I’d rather have wine… only 4 more months!
Kelli H (Made in Sonoma) says
My favorite dessert at a restaurant is this one called the Glenn Ellen Sundae. It’s to die for! It’s homemade vanilla ice cream, salty caramel sauce, topped with toasted coconut in a martini glass. It’s so simple but tastes amazing!
That key lime pie looks pretty good too!
Jenny (Fit Girl Foodie) says
o0o0 your WIAW eats are delish! The wild mushroom risotto looks amazing as does your cheesy omelet 🙂
Brooke @ Veggie Table says
I love Chobani & hummus – I could eat a tub full of both..sooo good! Your risotto at dinner looks delish! Looks like a fun 2-year celebration night! And, we really don’t order dessert…ever – I’m not a big “sweets” person.
Brittany says
I’m not that into sweets either… but it’s my comfort now that I ca’t have a martini! 😉
Melissa says
Mmmm! Looks delicious. I am with you on the desserts. I too go for the pie, berries and creme brulee over chocolatey richness. I do like a hot chunk of bread pudding with rum sauce or banana’s foster every once in a while though.
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says
Umm…oh my goll. There is so much to say…first of all, thank you for ordering what you did at the restaurant. I’m pretty sure I would have ordered all of the same things (and I’m not pregnant). That steak! That pie! Those crab fritters! They are all so droll-worthy…
Amen to the whole “yes, it’s organic, so now I’m going to PROVE it to you by branding it as such” thing—so obnoxious.
Samantha @ Health, Happiness & Skinny Jeans says
I am so inspired by how well you eat while pregnant. Your baby is very lucky to have such a health conscious mom!!
Brittany says
Aw, thanks!! Though I’m sure baby D will still show up with a taste for Mexican… I eat SO much!!
Melissa @ Be Not Simply Good says
My favorite dessert to order in a restaurant is cheesecake. I never make it at home, but I love it!
Your dinner out looks very good. Glad you got to celebrate. 🙂
Maria @ Oh Healthy Day says
Oh, I love a good filet, but there was not way I’d share that – anniversary or not 😉
I will always choose a fruity/light dessert over a decadent one (like chocolate). I hate feeling so full that you are ill, which chocolately desserts always do for me.
Cute dress by the way!
Caree @ Fit-Mama says
wow, dinner looks aamazing!!
I don’t typically order dessert either when we go out to dinner but if its a very special occasion me and the hubby will split something and it is usually something with lots of gooey chocolate goodness!
Sarah for Real says
Oh wow your dinner has made me crave key lime pie. And it’s only 9:30 am by the way. Thanks.
I usually gravitate toward chocolatey or cheesey desserts. Typically no nuts. I love creme brulee or cheesecake, especially when paired with chocolate.
Emily says
Thanks for snackin’ w/ us! Do you ever dip down, and not stir? That’s the trick to keeping the yogurt’s thick consistency. Obviously, it’s best enjoyed in whatever way is most delicious to you though! 🙂
Emily, Chobani
Brittany says
I don’t dip down, but now am anxious to try! I do love a good mix-up though 🙂
Parita @ myinnershakti says
Tiramisu, hands down! But it has to be made right. Sometimes I just skip the restaurant dessert and stop by Dairy Queen for a mini blizzard – yum!
Shawnee says
Happy Anniversary!
Jenn L @ Peas and Crayons says
I’m now bugging my husband to make me key lime pie =) We bought the ingredients last week and now I haaaaaaave to have some! Happy WIAW beautiful!
Roz says
Belated Happy Anniversary to you both!!!!! Looks like a lovely celebration. (my favorite restaurant dessert – molton chocolate lava cake….soooooo gooey and good!) Have a great day Brittany!
Kate @ Naturastride says
I recently found your blog and love it! 🙂
Your lunch looks exactly like what I eat for lunch everyday, haha. My favorite dessert is key lime pie!!! That picture is killing me! The crust!
Brittany says
Thanks so much for finding it and reading! If you like key lime… my goodness… it was amazing- you’d love it!!
