I tried so hard to post my breakfast this morning, but time just got away from me!
Breakfast was yummy!
2 eggs over grits. I may like eggs a bit too much :)
Some sliced gala apple and orange that Nick and I split
and some coffee :) Perfect again! French press Kona coffee just can’t be beat.
Lunch today was at church – we had a potluck right after church was over and I didn’t take my camera!
Just for the record, I had:
- 1/2 plate full of salad – I’m glad I brought salad! No one else did!!!
- piece of chicken baked with salsa
- black beans and a little couscous
- 1 slice pizza
- 2 homemade cookies
After the potluck, Nick and I ran over to Dick’s Sporting Goods to get some more running shirts. They had a bunch of stuff on sale and he got some really nice Nike DryFit tees for like $11!
Of course, since he wanted to try his new shirt AND because it was beautiful here today, we went for a run this afternoon. The weather was perfect – it was 60 just about all afternoon and the sky was blue and clear. It made me wish spring was here already! And until the last 1-2 minutes of our run, it was a really good run for me. I was keeping a pretty good pace and feeling good and just enjoying the weather and the run. I didn’t really get any cramps (yay!) for most of the run – that is, until the last two minutes. All of a sudden this cramp moved from my upper ribcage down into my abdomen and just about killed me for the last minute. I finished though! We ran for just over 32 minutes, so only having a bad cramp for 1-2 minutes is okay by me – and at least it was right at the end!
Once back home, we took showers and cleaned up the house a little before I started on dinner.
What better to have during SuperBowl than a SUPER BOWL of chili mac?
This made a HUGE amount of food, but that’s good since we’ll be eating it for lunches this week.
Super Bowl Chili Mac:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 3 cups water (or broth)
- 1 can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can light red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups (dry) whole wheat macaroni noodles
- salt
- pepper
- chili powder
- cumin
- garlic powder (I was too lazy to chop garlic tonight) :)
- Cowboy BBQ seasoning blend by The Spice Hunter
- Cook onion in a little olive oil in a large pot.
- Add ground turkey and cook through.
- Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water/broth.
- Bring to a boil.
- Add in dry noodles, lower heat and cook until noodles are done.
- Stir in beans and seasonings.
- Top with anything! We used some of the leftover avocado topping from dinner last night, but this would be good with cheese, tomato, diced avocado, red onion, scallions, etc.
Yum :)
Enjoy the game (if you’re watching) and DON’T FORGET about the hour long “The Office” episode RIGHT after the game!
