No, I didn’t eat it while sportin’ my hair in a big ol’ poof… but I did eat a meal that included pickles!
First Sadie turned into Snooki and now the little Jersey girl is inspiring my meals? Clearly Jersey Shore is taking over my life!
Today’s mid-day meal included three bread and butter pickles served with a chopped carrot and a Morningstar Farms veggie burger, which I enjoyed on a whole wheat sandwich thin topped with mustard, tomato and butter lettuce.
This particular veggie patty was the California-style turk’y burger and I liked it a lot! I typically gravitate toward the Asian-style or pizza-flavored veggie burgers, but this one was a winner.
And speaking of winners…

Dawn @ Blonde on a Mission says
I could eat a whole jar of pickles, they’re so salty and crunchy and delicious! Speaking of crunch, your lunch sounds/looks amazing, but unfortunately, at my office it’s always SO quiet & everyone is in earshot so I have loud-crunch anxiety. I didn’t even toast my bagel that much 🙁
Stephanie @ LiveCookLove says
Wait a second…………….
Are you going to be in Italy at the SAME TIME as Snooki and the crew!??!! That would be sooooo cool 😉
I love pickles toooo!
Annie says
everyone thinks it’s weird that i hate pickles but love cucumbers. i don’t know what it is about them, i just cannot get into it! veggie burger looks yummo though..
kristy @ kristyruns says
Ewww! I’m not a pickle fan. Sorry Snookie! Amys california veggie burger is my favorite!
Brittany (A Healthy Slice of Life) says
Pickles make everything better! I approve of the pro=pickle Snookie movement whole-heartedly 🙂
Chelsea J says
I can’t even handle the thought of pickles touching my food.It makes me want to gag. I want to like pickles, I really do. I have tried them, but I just can’t get into them. No Vlassic for this girl!
Lisa @ lisalettinggo says
I love your meal ideas! They all look so good that I’ve been inspired to try things like smoothie bowls, chia seeds, and melty cheese and apple sandwiches. Thanks for all of the great inspriation, keep it coming 🙂
Carie says
Love pickles, Love Snooki, and have been wanting to try the Morningstar Veggie Burgers but was told they weren’t good. Are they good?
peanutbutterfingers says
i like them! but i’ve never tried the plain, original ones. i go for the asian, pizza or california style!
Caitlin @ The Caitie Experiment says
The california ones are good — and the spicy black bean burgers are INSANE for a frozen, non-meat burger!
Hope says
I love pickles! I used to snack on them all the time! Thank you for the veggie burger suggestion. I was eating Boca for a while but I really don’t like the way that they taste. I want more of a veggie tasting buger. Do Morningstar Farms taste more like veggies?
Rachelle says
Have you tried Dr. Prager’s veggie burgers? They are the bomb diggity. I used to be obsessed with the Morning Star ones, but the Dr. Prager’s ones are even better!
Jenny (Fit Girl Foodie) says
I was a pickle hater for such a long time! Now I love them, great little snack although the sodium is off the charts 🙁 Love your JS inspired meal! yummm XD
Kimberly @ Healthy Strides says
I love those turk’y burgers! I’m also a fan of the tomato basil/bruschetta variety – especially with fresh spinach, sliced bell pepper and Sundried Tomato-Basil Laughing Cow!
Alyssa says
Pickles are SO good. I approve too 🙂

I love pickles! Snooki has the right idea about one thing at least. 🙂
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
That’s a loooooot of chia seeds!! Your lunch sounds yummy – I’ve never tried those turk’y burgers but I made some amazing tofu patties the other day that completely blew me away (which led into a discussion about veggie burgers!) http://wp.me/pSUCS-1WC. Have a great afternoon Julie!
Heather (Heather's dish) says
Oh man I love pickles! Guess I’m snooki approved too…especially dill!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
hahaha, ever see the episode where they put pickles under snooki’s bed?? So gross but so funny.
Jamie aka "Sometimes Healthy" Girl says
I love pickles too. I may or may not have like 3 different jars with different varieties in my fridge. Clearly, that Snooki is onto something 😉
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
I want Snooki’s bag! Gucci envy, big time 🙂
Courtney says
The California Turkey Style are my favorite! They are really good with slices of alvacadoes on top.
Caroline says
DANG! I wanted to win! 🙂
Love the blog title today … cute and catchy!
Pickles are such a good quick go-to snack! Especially if u want one with a crunch 🙂 I used to have them a lot when I needed to crunch on something … then u wanna know what I recently just switched to? I dunno if this is really weird but … Trader Joe’s has these jars of Hearts of Palm (sticks) and I guess I’ve kinda replaced my pickles w/those! They’re SO good … and less sodium, plus they have some fiber & protein! I literally eat them straight from the jar. Hopefully this isn’t a weird snack since I’ll be publicly posting! 🙂
Happy Wednesday girl!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
I love bread and butter pickles! Delicious!

I have been on such a pickle kick lately! I blame Mama Pea’s no-egg salad/chickenless salad sandwiches – they are so good!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
