Archives for April 2009

(at the end of the post)

When I got home from my mini program with my 1st and 2nd graders (they did really really well!!) It was definitely dinner time! We seared up some chicken with a little lemon pepper on it- it was fantastic!
Here’s dinner…



Chicken with lemon pepper
roasted brussel sprouts
whole wheat couscous with a handful of peas stirred in at the end.
GH Tuscan tomato and herb bread (1 slice with a tiny bit of butter)

Wow- soooo good!!!

Here’s a close up of the brussel sprouts (If you think you don’t like these things, you haven’t tried them roasted!)

Giveaway time!!

Someone out there in interweb land is going to get a $20 gift card to Whole Foods!

Here’s what you should do…

(you can get three possible entries here)

1) Leave me a comment and tell me what kinds of goodies you like to get at Whole Foods (or any healthfood store)

2) For another entry, link to me from your blog

3) for a third entry add me to your blogroll

Don’t forget to let me know that you linked me or added me to your blogroll!!

The deadline is Monday, April 27, 2009 at 5:00 pm central time.  At that time I will put all of the entries into a hat and draw one!

Easy enough, right?

I guess that’s all for me tonight, catch you on the flip side!

I swear I’m not going to make it until the end of the year. There are only 23 days left and I feel like I’m going to crack!! arg!!

I’ll talk about the giveaway later tonight, I don’t have much time right now.  I have to go BACK to the school in about 45 minutes to do a music program.  I don’t really want to!  Isn’t that terrible??  I think it really describes my mental state right now and just how soul-sucking my job is.

For breakfast today…



Morningstar farm’s “sausage” patty
1 slice pepperjack cheese
Oikos honey

This doesn’t look like much, but it was a great breakfast.  So tasty and so so filling!  I seriously wasn’t hungry until just a few minutes before lunch!

Lunch today…



Roasted red pepper and tomato soup (1 cup)
salad with a little light ranch and blue cheese
strawberries

When I got home from school I was really hungry so I had a slice of WW bread with raspberry white chocolate PB
kashi 7 grain crackers

Well, I have to run!  Be back later!!!

Apparently, the school is now going to let me get on wordpress! It’s no longer blocked (for now at least!).

*dances*

Also, I will very soon be my first giveaway!! Stay tuned, I’ll post about it later tonight!

I’m very excited about it!!!!

Where did today go?  Is it really over already? Wow!

After I took the puppy to the vet I went to workout at the gym.  Poor Harley had an ear infection!  The vet also said that she was too skinny. 🙁  That makes me sad because she eats all.the.time.  Lots!  We went and got some wet dog food to mix in with her puppy food so that she would have some more calories going in.

Anyway, got my butt kicked at the gym.  Before the butt kicking I had a Larabar for a snack.  I got a gingersnap.  It was okay, but the ginger was a bit overpowering.  I probably won’t get it again.

Then when I got home I started on dinner.  Tonight we had chicken curry burgers.  A creation of my own, thank you very much!  I ground up some chicken breasts in the food processor, added 1 tsp curry powder, 1/2 tsp ground corriander, 1/2 tsp cayenne and a litle onion.  Mix and form patties, grill in grillpan.

They were really good!!  I’m quite proud of myself right now! 🙂   🙂

For the “sauce” for the burger I mixed some srirachi with a little light mayo- fab!!

Then served it with some oven fries.

Close up of the burger…



Looks tasty, huh??  You should try it- it’s pretty amazing.

Okay, it’s past my bedtime, gotta go!

Nighty night!!!!

After my bike ride (it was a quick one) I was ready for some lunch. I knew I wanted to use up the other half of the avocado that I started on yesterday, so I took out some corn tortillas and melted a little cheese on them. Then I topped them with a little salsa, slices of avocado and a little cabbage for some crunch. They were really good!!



I also had some sweet potato chips



aaaand 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. I’m working out again tonight, so I figured I could use a little extra protein since I didn’t really have any at lunch.

This afternoon’s agenda is taking the dog to the vet, going to starbucks to download some yoga stuff from yoga downloads (cause my internet is total crap and won’t let me download ANYthing), and then a workout with my trainer.

Later skater!
