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!
Mmm I want to try your Healthy Bites! My Instagram food probably shows a lot of poptarts LOL… 😉
haha, now i am craving pop tarts!
’twas. I mixed about 1/4 bottle with 2 oz of wine. Tasted mostly like the Synergy.
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?
yes yes! the twins told me to try that out! they also tried the trilogy with vodka. Is it good? Oh please say yes!!
Those healthy bites look so delicious! Instagram is so awesome…and addicting. Very addicting.
no kidding. another social media addiction
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 🙂
wait? pesto eggs? did you post this? recipe please! loved the green slushy by the way!
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.
haha, not sure how good it would be in salad, unless it was a fruit salad? yes?
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?
hahah – love me some instagram too. It’s made me lazy/awesome, too lately 🙂
What’s the ginseng drink? I’m intrigued!
i found it in the bahamas. its like gingerale but with ginseng! so good!
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
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.
oh i wish you had it! i’d be stalking your food pics!
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?
it is!! i think it counts as strength training, right?
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!
i love your smoothie pics. they make me want to drink my phone. haha
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.
oh i want to see remodeling pics and mini golf. That’s some pretty fun stuff! and i am not being sarcastic. haha
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
so that means you are cool, juicy, and smooth! hehe.
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!
i did!! the vega vanilla almond smoothie is good! i make pudding with it. Avo, banana, vega, and coconut kefir!
muddy buddy mocha…that sounds amazing
well, i ate half my orders. Whoops! that says something, right?
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.
I love Instagram and yes, I’m addicted!
hello fellow addictor! 😉
I have yet to give into joining instagram. And twitter. I don’t know if my life has room for another time suck!
well you are one busy mom, so you have a reason. I am just addicted, period. haha!
All the healthy bit flavors sound delicious…I’m torn, I don’t know which one to try creating first!!
oh let me know! they are all fun to make too!
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. 😉
oh i wish i had a DSLR. Maybe for our 5 year anniversary. hehe. and i love the dinner table bonding!
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?
oh yes, i like that idea!! Where can i apply?
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!
agreed! i drool on some of my pics. haha
Wifey gets mad when I take photos of my food… 🙁
what? why? are you playing with it first? hehe
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!
Haha! I was recently thinking similarly about instagram. That little app is a blessing and a curse. 😉
totally! i am not photographer but instagram makes me look good. 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. 🙂
for real! oh and i can’t wait for my nutty butter!! i love the names. You are so clever!
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
Yup, instagram has made me SOOO lazy. I’m not sorry at all though ;D
me neither! cheers to that!
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.
yes, i love all your pics. but you are the photo queen no matter what you use!
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!
yes, a good/bad thing. I’m okay with it. And i can’t for san antonio!!!
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…
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 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
and i am so glad you did!! i love seeing your sweet face!
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!
you might not go back to your camera.. just sayin.
I want Instagram! I need myself an iPhone 😉
you need it! i need to see you on it! i would love it!
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!
Hooked for sure! so glad we can share!
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!
i say the same about you! now.. imagine.. cooking.. TOGETHER!
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?
what?!!! You need to get on it. Then we can taunt each other even more with food combos!
Haha love that you are “balsy” ;). And yes, you are totally fine Linds!!
and you are sweet.. and fine.. and just lovely!
Ballsy heehee 😉 SNAP this post totally made my morning! Love you AND your eats sista!
you always make my morning… day.. evening!
LOL I love this post! Put a smile on my face! Ballsy hahaha! You’re great!
and i’d say you are FUN and NUTRITIOUS!
I am SO bad at using my camera anymore because I use my phone for everything!!!
well at least you are not alone!
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?
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’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!
no kidding. not sure if that’s a good thing or bad thing.
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 😉 (and wine? yes, sommolier? yes!!)
oh yes!! i think we make it happen, we must!
i love not having to carry my camera around…plus when wednesday comes around i just look back through my instagram pics to figure out what i haven’t shared on the blog yet 🙂
ditto! so true! We think alike.
HA! I love that you tied this back to “you are what you eat” — SO TRUE!!
And um hi, I want every single one of those healthy bites, they sound AMAZING!!
i need you gals here, sampling them! p.s. Can i come to CA with you? WINE!!
hahaha yea you are fiiine, ballsy, and spicy! I don’t have instagram because I have a blackberry. Oh, Snap!
oh i hope you get on it soon. Blackberry instagram needs to happen!
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!
oh yea! can’t wait! wish i could come hand delivers these. xxoo
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…;)
OOH INTERESTING!!
I never take pics of my food 🙂
what does THAT say?
it means you are too busy living your priorities! 😉
oh snap.
oh snap i love you!
LOL girl you crack me up. Ballsy 😉 I think you’re a great blend of awesomeness!
