Hi gang! Last night Scott and I finished a really bad Pens game. Please lord let them get out of this slump soon. Crikey! Then I crashed out in bed.
I got up this morning and after taking care of Rocky made breakfast right away.
Pumpkin apple oatbran and some coffee. I was one hungry A this morning. After breakfast one of the most glorious things happened. I got to go to Muay Thai! After not working out for close to a week this was a much welcomed event. I am very thankful for heavy bags and 14oz gloves. I told my instructors it was nice to be able to hit something again. :p
After class is when the craziness started because we had so many errands to run. Checking the mailbox, running here and there and everywhere. I did get a surprise in the mail today, I won something! I put my business card in for a drawing to win a Kikkoman cookbook while I was at the Foodbuzz Fest and I won it! It’s actually really nicely done with huge pictures and recipes that were created by some restaurant chefs. Score!
Then we hit up Sam’s where I found a 5lb box of oats for $4! HELL YES! And since it’s the holidays they have one of our favorite wines back in stock. It’s a Riesling and the bottle is huge! I’ll take a picture of it for you soon so you can see it in all it’s glory.
Naturally I had to hit the grocery store again because I forgot something yesterday, fresh herbs! Can’t make stuffing and turkey without them. Do you ever do that, forget to get something at the store? I try to avoid it but it never fails that when I’m holiday shopping there is always something I forget to pick up.
When we finally got back home, Scott and I were starving! I inhaled a piece of leftover pizza too quickly to take a picture. Sorry guys!
Here’s my quickie lunch.
I took some of the leftover nacho topping and put that on a Whole Foods red chili tortilla with some guac and lettuce. I ate that soft taco style.
And smoothie!
- 1C Carrot juice
- 2C Unsweetened cranberry juice
- Spinach
- Frozen banana
- Frozen blueberries
After lunch, oh I wasn’t done with my chores yet! I changed into my best goober clothes and headed outside to pull weeds and cleanup the landscaping for winter. I probably did that for a little over an hour. :o
Then I showered and zonked out on the couch because I was one tired girl! I watched The Goonies while playing on the laptop, very relaxing. Mmmm Then I made some dinner, easy peasy style.
Since we didn’t get a chance to have fish this week due to being invaded by Teh Sickies, I made that this evening.
- Teriyaki sauce
- Maple syrup
- 2 green onions
- Garlic powder
- Chili powder
- Red pepper flakes
- Sea salt
Marinade for about 10 minutes and then into the oven at 400 for about five minutes. Delicious!
Roasted asparagus which we haven’t had in ages!
- Olive oil
- Soy sauce
- Chili powder
- Garlic powder
Roasted at 400 for about 5 minutes as well.
With a bit of jasmine rice on the side. Dinner was so good and now I’m really passing out tired. :p I’m off to watch the Pens game and hopefully they have a better night!
Till tomorrow guys!
Salmon + veggies + rice is my all time fave meal!! I think the quickness factor is what makes it perfect Have a great Sunday A!
The salmon looks wonderful, that’s my all time favourite fish
I’m still picking fresh herbs from the garden… though some didn’t survive the early frost like the basil.
