I went for a 15 mile ride on my bikey this morning. It was AWESOME!! I can’t wait for saturday! I wasn’t even that exhausted at the end of the 15 miles- I could have gone more if my butt didn’t hurt so much (I guess I’m still getting used to riding for extended periods of time). I had a gorgeous ride by the Trinity River. The trails are beautiful and not too crowded in the morning- mostly the old folks out for a stroll. I tried not to run over too many of them with my bike (just kidding!). I felt so good after I got my bike packed back onto my car (fun fact- my bike might just be bigger than my car! I’ll post a pic next time I put the bike rack on and you can be the judge).
Before I went to ride my bike I had some cereals…
A combo of cherrios and nature’s path heritage squares(I think that’s what they’re called) with a baby banana and a splash of skim milk. I don’t usually eat cherrios (no reason, they just don’t usually fill me up well), but I have been craving them like no other lately. I finally had to break down and get a box! The combo of the cherrios and the higher fiber cereal worked really well though- great fuel for my bike ride!
After my bike ride I went and had a salad and sat out on the patio at Central Market. The diet root beer in the pic did not get consumed- it was gross. I shoulda known better!
Ahhh, Southern living! One of my favs!
There was also some Gelato, but it was melting too fast- I wasn’t able to snag a picture. I love gelato! It’s alot like ice cream and it’s got less fat and calories. I think it’s richer than ice cream. I must research this and get back to you!
Then it was onward toward the casa. I fired up the grill for dinner!
On the menu tonight was
- Grilled andouille chicken sausages
- grilled potatoes
Wow, was this a fabulous meal!! The potatoes were amazing grilled, kinda like french fries but with that “grilled” flavor. And the chicken sausage was to die for! Pardon all the mustard- I’m kinda a mustard-aholic! (blame my dad, who is the mustard king. I get it from him)
It doesn’t really seem like a whole lot but it was very filling! In hind sight, I think we could have used another veggie.

(for the potatoes I just sprayed them with a little EVOO from my Misto and sprinkled with S&P then threw on the grill)
I also had a small handful of cherries. I couldn’t resist when I saw them at CM this afternoon! They were wonderful!
I am totally jealz of those grilled potatoes!
