TGIT

Today is like my Friday because tomorrow I have my annual summer work outing on an island off of the cape. I started my morning off at the gym with 15 minutes on the stair master doing intervals of 75 and 90 steps per minute followed by a 30 minute kettlebell training session.

I thought I would share two meals I had yesterday because they were both so good. For lunch I got a mango salad from Qdoba but instead of adding their chicken I added my own leftover ground turkey I had from Monday night tacos.

I had a massage last night so I decided to just pick something up on my way home for dinner. I stopped at The Healthy Kitchen and got an order of chicken lettuce wraps. They were so delicious and filling I couldn't finish them all. I want to try to make my own version of these sometime.

Question: Do you have a lettuce wrap recipe you love?

WIAW-Spinach Edition

I can't believe it's already Wednesday and time for another WIAW inspired by Jenn at Peas and Crayons.

Yesterday for breakfast I enjoyed a green monster with berries, soy milk, chia seeds, flax seed and protein powder. It has been very hot here in Boston the past few days so smoothies have been my friend.

 

Lunch was a sandwich with spinach, rotisserie chicken and strawberries on two pieces of Arnold's ten grain bread toasted. I am on a spinach kick lately I want it on everything. This was a little messy to eat but it was so worth it.

On my trip to Whole Foods on Sunday I picked up some more vegan veggie raviolis because they were so good last time. Even though it was 95 degrees yesterday I had to turn on the stove and cook these because they are just too good. If you have a Whole Foods near you then you need to try these.

For dessert I had mix of espresso and vanilla bean frozen yogurt with a few mini peanut butter cups but I ate it before I could snap a picture, sorry. I've had a small cold and sore throat  for the last week so anything cold like fro yo makes it feel better.

Question: What is your favorite fro yo combination?

Grilling and Gaming

Joe and I had a busy weekend and were not really together at all so on Sunday we decided to do some food shopping for the week and spend the afternoon together. We made a trip to whole foods earlier that day where we bought some delicious veggies to grill up with some shrimp. Joe grilled the veggies (peppers and asparagus) with just a little salt and pepper then once they came off the grilled I tossed them in a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

 

 

I marinated the shrimp with some honey bbq sauce and hot sauce. Once the shrimp was cooked I tossed them in Mrs. Dash's Southwestern Chipotle seasoning. The flavors were so delicious together since it had a nice spice with just the right amount of sweetness.

After dinner Joe and I decided to play one of our favorite board games, Phase 10 Twist. If you have played Phase 10 before you have to get this game it is so much fun.
