What I Ate Wednesday v.9 Food and Wine

So after all my years of living in Florida I have finally made it to the Disney Food and Wine Festival.
 Please excuse pictures. They are from my phone. I need a new camera BLAH

Today's WIAW is brought to you courtesy of Disney Food and Wine on Sunday Afternoon...

We ate a lot and drank more than I ever do! So I decided since most of my readers are used to seeing my very particular food choices, and scheduled times for food I would show what a day of complete indulgence looks like. 

For anyone unfamiliar with Food and Wine here it goes... There are different stations set up around Epcot, they are all based on a specific country. At each country you have a few different food options, wine or beer choices.The plates are not large and provide you with just enough to enjoy and not get too full too quickly.   Brian and I decided we would share all of our plates. So we picked one item from the country of choice and we split it.

Before we made it to Disney we had our normal Sunday routines to complete. Wake up call was at 6:30am and breakfast was Egg whites, turkey sausage and half of an Udi's GF lemon muffin. 

 

Brian left for his Baseball game and I decided I would get in a run and some cleaning. 

I did a 3 mile run and then I refueled with some coconut water. 

Then I nibbled a little on some of the pasta salad I made the night before for dinner.... Only a few pieces. I was trying to decide what to eat LOL

Whole wheat pasta, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes and goat cheese. 

 

I finally decided what I wanted.... and guess what it invloved Peanut Butter HAHA

My friend and fellow Blogger Carissa  recently made a trip out to Food and Wine also. You should check out her choices. 

 

A few pictures of our fun times... Oh ya it was Sunday I had to rep. the Steelers (even though we lost BLAH)

 

I ate and drank more than I would ever do on a normal day... but hey there was nothing normal about this day. I didnt worry about schedules, or making food, measuring food, and planning every bit of our day. I have to be honest... IT WAS GREAT. 

But now it is back to the grind and healthy eats and schedules. 

When was your last indulgence? and what was it?

Ciao from around the world
