It’s been a while. I mean a REALLY good while since I’ve done a WIAW post. I always love Jen’s WIAW’s. She’s got such a great thing going on and it’s fun to see new recipe ideas, products, etc.
But me? Ya, I have not been taking many pictures. I mean legit pictures. In fact, I rarely carry my camera anymore. I blame instagram. Or rather, I am saved by instagram. It does all the trendy photo filtering for me. I might be lazy, but my peanut butter jelly sandwich will look GOURMET for it. Haha.
Anyway here’s a look at last month’s instagram eats in the form of good ‘ol WIAW.
Lot’s of combo’s, lots of healthy bites, lots of kombucha and good wine. Ya, that’s about right.
GF Falafel & veggie succotash. Balsamic Curried Jicama and chicken sausage.
Ginger and Ginseng, my two favorite drink flavors.
My product junkie snacking. All worth it though!
My fun new Healthy Bite flavors: Cranberry Crunch (nut free), Muddy Buddy Mocha (Vegan), Pineapple Rum, Apple Praline Pecan, Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie dough. I think I like coming up with the names more than the flavors.
And then there is this. Oh yes, my wine. In my next life, I will become a sommelier. Or maybe I should start practicing now? Yes!
So thank you instagram, thank you for making me lazy with my camera.
BUT! Oh yes, there is a BUT….
Thank you instagram for reminding me that YOU are WHAT you eat.
I am interesting (hence new flavor combos)
I am “ballsy” or rather, I take a “bite” out of life. Haha, yes? (hence the healthy bites)
I am good and spicy (hence the ginseng and ginger)
I am FINE… like a FINE WINE! No need to explain that one. hehe.
Now, how’s that for a WIAW?
Your turn! What’s your instagram food say about you?
Cheers,
LC
p.s.
Trying to convince the hubs to do a video update. Because there is AN UPDATE! All good so far too.
p.p.s
I have another giveaway coming up. OH SNAP, that is cool!

OOH INTERESTING!!
I never take pics of my food
what does THAT say?
Miz recently posted..What’s your language of encouragement?
it means you are too busy living your priorities!
haha what does it say about me if I don’t have instagram & I don’t have food pics? I think that it means that the food doesn’t last long enough on my plate to take a photo of it!
I guess that means that I just need to move closer to someone with instagram…;)
Oh snap! Can’t wait for your giveaway and hubs update!!! =)
Your balls look delicious. I esp love the coconut chocolate one! I’m heading over to your site now =) No more procrastinating!

Jess recently posted..Sometimes.

Ok I want ALL of those new flavors!! Those look SO good! And you are ballsy girl! And awesome. And inspiring. And I really can’t wait to meet you. We must make this August thang happen. For real

jobo recently posted..(almost) wordless (almost) Wednesday: Maine blogger summit, in pics!
oh yes!! i think we make it happen, we must!
I’m with you! I don’t carry around a camera anymore (well also because I broke it) haha but I decided my iphone takes great photos and it’s so easy to play with them!
Jocelyn @ Peace Love Nutrition recently posted..Beyond Yoga
no kidding. not sure if that’s a good thing or bad thing.
I was just admiring your new-ish blog header and noticed that triathlete is misspelled. Just thought I’d let you know in case you hadn’t seen it.
I need to get into Instagram. Do you take the pics first then use Instagram to edit them, or do you take them using the Instagram program?
Christine (Merf) recently posted..the wagon is running me over.
oh ya, i just noticed that. SNAP!! Must fix. and yes, please get on instagram!! I want to see you more. You can do either, take it first ot through instagram. I love it!
I am SO bad at using my camera anymore because I use my phone for everything!!!

and you are sweet.. and fine.. and just lovely!
I haven’t taken a photo of food in weeks….months? I couldn’t even tell you how the lighting is in my new house. Or my old house, really. I don’t even do the instagram photos anymore. I have it on my phone and I forget to use it! I take all my iphone photos with the regular camera.
How lame is that?
Katie recently posted..Very vintage
what?!!! You need to get on it. Then we can taunt each other even more with food combos!
Dang you eat some good stuff! Looks like you’ve had a delicious week! Coming up with the names of treats is a lot of fun sometimes! Your balls looks amazing and sound like perfect flavor combinations!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) recently posted..Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites
i say the same about you! now.. imagine.. cooking.. TOGETHER!
Cranberry crunch, nut free? Yum! You’re amazing. I am loving Instagram, too.. I was late to join, but it didn’t take long to get hooked!
Laura @ Mommy Run Fast recently posted..30-20-10 Intervals and Yogurt-making
Hooked for sure! so glad we can share!
I want Instagram! I need myself an iPhone
Meg recently posted..WIAW: Sweet and Simple Snack
you need it! i need to see you on it! i would love it!
my real camera is broken
so instragram and iPhone are my only option at the moment! but I’m kind of okay with it. all your food looks fab!
Alysia @ Slim Sanity recently posted..WIAW: peanut butter protein energy bites
you might not go back to your camera.. just sayin.
I finally caved on Instagram and I’m actually really enjoying it…I swear this is the last social media device I’m signing up for…HAHA! And yes woman you are like a fine wine…aren’t we all? xoxo
She Rocks Fitness recently posted..Rain Rain Go Away + WIAW
and i am so glad you did!! i love seeing your sweet face!
i dont even know what instagram is?!! i dont take pictures of my food, well, bc it doesn’t last 5 minutes before i scarf it all down! monday i made a delicious pork chop recipe with apples/cranberries with a side of asparagus, but mikey and i dominated it before i could take pictures
mm you said cookie dough…
Kim K recently posted..First Race Pics of the Season
you need to! we could have way to much fun commenting on each others posts. hehe. And whoa, that’s one amazing recipe! i LIKE !
I love instagram, but I do find that I’m not taking my good camera out to dinner as often. It’s a good and a bad thing, right?! Can’t wait to hear the good update – tell hubs to get on that video update!
Heather @ Better With Veggies recently posted..What I Ate in Colorado: Sushi & Brunch Edition
yes, a good/bad thing. I’m okay with it. And i can’t for san antonio!!!
yes I’m having the same ‘dilema’. Okay iphones are really not a dilema, but they have made me lazy with my real camera! But I love snapping photos of my meals on the go as I’m sure you’ve witnessed.
katie @KatieDid recently posted..Roasted Peach, Bacon, and Onion Salad with a Coconut Maple Vinaigrette
yes, i love all your pics. but you are the photo queen no matter what you use!
Yup, instagram has made me SOOO lazy. I’m not sorry at all though ;D
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile recently posted..WIAW: Sneak Peek
me neither! cheers to that!
haha. this is AWESOME. i love those uber bars! i think last time i posted an instagram pic of food it was probably froyo so im sweet no?? haha! love this! you are definitely ALL those qualities friend!
my ultimate goal is to get to utah to try this FROYO! haha
Oh Linds…I feel THE SAME WAY! Ever since I got on instagram I’m like “Oh, I can just leave my camera at home…” It’s crazy, really. Now if only I knew a quick way to get the pics onto my computer…
I also think I love coming up with names more than the actual product.
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen recently posted..What I (Salvaged) Wednesday
for real! oh and i can’t wait for my nutty butter!! i love the names. You are so clever!
Haha! I was recently thinking similarly about instagram. That little app is a blessing and a curse.
Elizabeth recently posted..Today: Get it? Good.
totally! i am not photographer but instagram makes me look good. haha
You are so cute Lindsay and your posts never cease to make me smile. You are definitely fine just like your wine girl. Love it!
I need to move in with you because you are eating a lot better than me.
we need to live by each other! i need a running partner who will get me back in shape. I’ll feed you in return!
Wifey gets mad when I take photos of my food…
PavementRunner recently posted..Where Running Has Taken Me (in Photos)
what? why? are you playing with it first? hehe
I love you!! HB action in the house!! Cleverest names ever!
I’m getting better about my food pics–but I’m so darn hungry sometimes I forget!
Jess @ Blonde Ponytail recently posted..Vanilla Almond Cran Protein Bites
agreed! i drool on some of my pics. haha
Your bites look awesome, but the names make them even more enticing! Perhaps you have a new career ahead of you in headlines, naming foods and ice creams?
Abby @ Change of Pace recently posted..Sunny start
oh yes, i like that idea!! Where can i apply?
I don’t use instagram much b/c I just loooooove using my dslr! But I think my pics definitely say that breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day! lol. I love dinner too, but mostly because it’s that time of the day when you gather around the table with husband, family, friends, etc.
Ellie@Fit for the Soul recently posted..Nearly Died but Lived
oh i wish i had a DSLR. Maybe for our 5 year anniversary. hehe. and i love the dinner table bonding!
All the healthy bit flavors sound delicious…I’m torn, I don’t know which one to try creating first!!
Jessica recently posted..WIAW: Help! I Think I Have a Problem…
oh let me know! they are all fun to make too!
I have yet to give into joining instagram. And twitter. I don’t know if my life has room for another time suck!
Lindsay @ Fuel My Family recently posted..WIAW: Carb Loading and Dominating my To Do List
well you are one busy mom, so you have a reason. I am just addicted, period. haha!
I love Instagram and yes, I’m addicted!
Charissa recently posted..Backwards Cereal
hello fellow addictor!
so true!!!!!!! i never use my camera anymore and strictly blog off my instagram photos. plus having a mac and an iPhone they just upload automatically. got to love it. i wish i had my own winery
though a sommelier would be a great job too. when are you coming this way!!!?????please come stay and the boys can ride and we can take you to some wineries 
i am dying to come out there! trying my hardest!! But then, i dont think i’d ever leave.
muddy buddy mocha…that sounds amazing
well, i ate half my orders. Whoops! that says something, right?
I’m addicted to instagram, but I’m usually so hungry I never take pics of my food. lol! That Vega looks delish… do you like it? I need a new protein powder!
Brittany @ Delights and Delectables recently posted..WIAW #3
i did!! the vega vanilla almond smoothie is good! i make pudding with it. Avo, banana, vega, and coconut kefir!
instagram is sooo addicting!! there are days where I am on it all the time and then there are days when I barley have time to get on it
guess my instagram food shows a lot of smoothies and drinks
xoxo
Pure2raw twins recently posted..perfect fit protein
so that means you are cool, juicy, and smooth! hehe.
I was just thinking today that I haven’t used my ‘real’ camera in a week or so. I love the iPhone camera! My pictures are split between food, kids and home decor ideas (we are remodeling). Today was mini-golf pictures.
Looking forward to the update.
Michelle {lively kitchen} recently posted..Photo Friday – Summer 2012, week one
oh i want to see remodeling pics and mini golf. That’s some pretty fun stuff! and i am not being sarcastic. haha
It’s so true! I totally blame Instagram for the fact that I no longer take real pictures. My instagram feed is flooded with green smoothies lately. and the kids of course. Yes! Update please!
Christine @ Love, Life, Surf recently posted..Fitness Daydreams
i love your smoothie pics. they make me want to drink my phone. haha
I love it when you post self-portraits. Your expressions are always so cute! I too blame my cell phone camera on not carrying a “real” camera often enough. But dang, that thing is heavy. Maybe I can record carrying my camera around as a workout on Daily Mile?
Jan recently posted..Project 366
it is!! i think it counts as strength training, right?
Haha. Loving on the names of your ball creations! That would be a fun process! I don’t have instagram! I really want to get it though, can’t wait until I get rid of my silly blackberry, just a few more weeks.
Lisa recently posted..WIAW #12
oh i wish you had it! i’d be stalking your food pics!
You are the cutest thing ever and you have the best looking balls. Er, your healthy bites look yummy!
I am constantly drooling all over my phone. My camera (not a good one) has been sitting in my purse needing to be charged forever! I only use my phone/iPod now!
I almost got the Ginger Kumbucha today, but settled on Cranberry instead. May need to try it sometime…
me too! drooling a lot. Not complaining though. And have you tried trilogy kombucha? that one is my FAVORITE!!
p.s.
I can’t comment on your blog. It gets stuck when i try to comment. Just FYI
hahah – love me some instagram too. It’s made me lazy/awesome, too lately
What’s the ginseng drink? I’m intrigued!
Paige @ Running Around Normal recently posted..Post-Workout Protein Choices
i found it in the bahamas. its like gingerale but with ginseng! so good!
If I didn’t have Instagram, I’m convinced I would have no pictures from my life at all.. It’s so much easier to have everything in one place of the iPhone.. what I ever did without it I will never know! The healthy Bites look amazing.. I especially like the sounds of the pecan one, yum!
haha, totally agree there! what did we do without iphone pics before?
Mmm those Healthy bites look so good. I want to throw them into one of my salads. Prob b/c right now I have falafel balls in the salad I packed for my lunch today and they are reminding me of that!
Good wine = good times.
Caitlin recently posted..Wordless Wednesday: Summer Fun Edition
haha, not sure how good it would be in salad, unless it was a fruit salad? yes?
Instagram saves my lazy @$$ from trying to take good photos!
Ha.
I have been focusing more on fitness pics lately since my food as been so ugly (even instagram can’t make it look good—that’s pretty bad! ….like pesto eggs…just fugly!).
I could definitely go for a healthy bite (or two) right now with my coffee….and then I’d move onto the wine
Lisa recently posted..Chopped Salad…so it’s a little less like salad
wait? pesto eggs? did you post this? recipe please! loved the green slushy by the way!
Those healthy bites look so delicious! Instagram is so awesome…and addicting. Very addicting.
no kidding. another social media addiction
Greetings fellow “product junkie” …lol….LOVE that term. You are right. SO worth it.
Ditto wine and kombucha junkie love.
Listen…I’m gonna be honest with you. I tried something new tonight. Right now *blush* I happen to be drinking Kombucha Synergy….and some Sauvignon Blanc…um…together. Kombucha Vino Cocktail Hour happening over here.
*cringe*
It feels sort of wrong…but oh so right at the same time. Penny for your thoughts?
missy recently posted..OMMM….
yes yes! the twins told me to try that out! they also tried the trilogy with vodka. Is it good? Oh please say yes!!
’twas. I mixed about 1/4 bottle with 2 oz of wine. Tasted mostly like the Synergy.
Missy recently posted..OMMM….
Mmm I want to try your Healthy Bites! My Instagram food probably shows a lot of poptarts LOL…
Allie recently posted..Pancakes & things i’m loving
haha, now i am craving pop tarts!
