HomeYou have to love the shortened work week that follows a three day weekend! My week has been off to a great start (and I hope yours has as well!). Monday started with a six miler outside:
We shared some chips and salsa (their chips were great- not greasy at all!) and I got the taco salad for dinner. My taco salad was missing a few of the ingredients mentioned on the menu and came with one tiny sliver of avocado. I was a little disappointed. On the flip side, the roasted corn in the salad was delicious:
After dinner, we headed out to the baseball game. The weather was perfect and the stadium is beautiful:
Me, Lindsay & Patrick (hahaha)
The game was ….slow? I have no idea who even won! We left in the 9th and the score was still 0,0.
Today was back to the grind! After the usual work, I did a bit of cleaning and taught Body Attack.
For dinner, I made up Cuban Style Pineapple Rice & Beans (with Turkey for Josh):
Ingredients:
- 1/2 or 1 full 15 oz can Cuban style black beans (or you can use regular black beans and add in some additional spices (cumin & chili powder), onion & garlic)
- 8 oz can pineapple (either tidbits or chunks), drained or fresh cut pineapple
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 jalapeno, chopped
- 1/2 lb turkey (if using)
- 2 cups cooked brown rice (I used Success)
- 1 tablespoon oil (utilize 1/2 tablespoon if cooking beans only)
Directions:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add turkey and cook through (until no longer pink)
- Lower heat to medium and add black beans, pineapple, salsa and jalapenos. Heat through (~5 minutes)
- Place cooked mixture on top of brown rice
- Enjoy!
Easy dinner! And can be made for vegetarians and meat eaters alike! You can also play around and add some more veggies (peppers and onions would be fantastic!). Serves 2 or 3.
Also, on a side note, look at this adorable apron Lindsay gave me for my birthday (love it- thank you girl!):
What is your week looking like? Anything exciting to look forward to?
