ENOUGH! I'm exiting reality for today's WIAW & entering a day of my favorite foods and ideal day of eats, just for fun. And guess what, you're coming with me. That's right - today is all about What I Would've Ate Wednesday. Consider it a foodie dream board, because one day I will get all these yums to occur in the same day. And it will be heaven.
Honestly, this one is kind of tough. I'm not a huge breakfast fan, and I often fluctuate between craving sweet and craving savory. Something I'll never say no to though?
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin pancakes.
I made these for myself using Kodiak Cakes GF mix, canned pumpkin, and dark chocolate a few months ago. And I need to kick myself in the lazy bones and make it happen again.
Nachos from Carlitos in Santa Barbara. Done. Lemme tell you why...
- FRESH queso blanco alllll over that ish
- Homemade white (and blue underneath) corn chips
- The beans are totally not canned
- The chicken is like bursting with flavor
If you're anywhere near the Santa Barbara area, like if you're 10 hours away even, go get these. I'm not trying to exaggerate, but if one of the waiters asked me to marry him I probably would've said yes just because I was that happy.

My mom's deviled eggs. While I admit that the photo to the left is from Food Network cause they look better, my mom's totally taste better. Like I've never gotten a picture of them, better, because I'm too busy Hoover-ing them.
Hibachi shrimp, mixed veggies, and fried rice from Cho Cho San. I've just realized that I'm never going to be able to have that gluten-full, fried rice again and am trying not to get depressed. Wait! Maybe I can bring my own GF soy sauce! Day saved. Because this is one of my favorite meals and like most favorite worthy meals, completely stuffs my waist line and depletes my wallet. The shrimp and veggies and rice are all cooked in front of you, but what makes this place extra special is the freaking awesome sauces that come with the shrimp. I rarely have leftovers.

The hardest What I (Would've) Ate thing to pick, hands down. And since I have the hard task of picking making me sad enough, I'm not making myself pick a gluten free dessert. This is FANTASY people, don't judge me. And all I want is this Jack in the Box Oreo shake. In addition to giving me brain freeze, this shake gives me the warm and fuzzies because it was actually my FIRST, real recovery challenge and WIN. I can remember looking up the calories like 6x and feeling so terrified as I ordered it. Then feeling so happy and...normal when I got it. I remember feeling like I was going to be okay.
and tell me in the comments: What foods would make it into YOUR ideal day of eats?
