Happy Monday!

Aren't Mondays great?  I always feel like it's a chance to embrace new beginnings.  Plus, you can always start planning and counting down to the next weekend's activities.

I'm cleaning like a fiend today (we have a re-fi assessor coming tomorrow) and it's been fun.  Kinda like a treasure hunt to clean out old boxes and such in storage.  i've found all kinds of things that i forgot we even had.  I found my Furby (nearly died from shock when it started moving in a box!), my old (15 years) sketchbook, a pair of heels that I thought was long gone, and new with tags - bathroom towel set.

Dinner tonight is a simple grilled BBQ chicken breast with steamed broccoli.  Anyone have any simple and quick go-to dinners I can steal?  I need variety and it's not easy to find since I can't eat gluten and my H can't eat tomatoes, beans, fruits, or most rice/quinoa type things.  It's been boring meat + veg side around here for the last few months.  Not that I'm complaining since the weight is coming off still, but variety IS the spice of life after all.

What are y'all up to on this beautiful day?

For your viewing pleasure as well, look what my garden has!

A strawberry baby!

Roma tomato babies!

Re: Happy Monday!

  • I wish I had your outlook on Mondays Anna!  Also, I totally want a garden.  I can't wait to be able to have one, one day.  

    Today is a full work day but I'm only having a 4 day work week so that isn't too shabby.  Dinner tonight is either some healthier fajitas or if FI isn't home in time I might run and just grab an Amy's GF dinner.  I'm not sure what I would do for dinner in your case!  Rice is a pretty common ingredient in a lot of foods I eat ;)  
  • "Happy" Monday! I can't complain, though, today wasn't bad at all. I got all of my grading finished during my prep and lunch duty today, so I was able to leave right at 3 today. Just got out of the shower after doing 30DS.

    Tonight we're doing chicken paninis from Skinny Taste, so I know that's not helpful for dinner, anna! No beans or fruit?! I would have a hard time with that! Good luck finding recipes--I am no help in that department. We eat all and then some over here.

    I also did some spring cleaning this weekend. I filled up 5 trash bags full of clothes. The Purple Heart is coming to pick them up next week. It was kind of embarassing to see all the money I've spent on clothing--most of it hardly/never worn--piled up in the bedroom. At least it's going to a good cause. I'm teaching Transcendentalism in my English course this month and I'm trying to be like Thoreau on Walden Pond--"simplify, simplify, simplify!"

    So jealous of your garden, anna! I have a black thumb, a kitten who eats anything green, and a very strict home owners assocation which won't let us modify AT ALL. Enjoy all of the freshness!

    Anna do you like avocado? Can your H eat it? I've been pinteresting a ton of clean eating receipies latey, which is where I found this. This one is a good side dish if you're having a lean meat like chicken or fish. Very nice for summer/spring too!

    You are much more ambitious on Monday's than I am! I am hoping to lift a little tonight and then make dinner and relax!

  • i DO love avocado.  They're just so darn hard to find fresh in SD.  I'm pinning that recipe though in case I do get a chance to buy some.  Thanks!
  • Aww your garden is so cute Anna!

    Our dinner is not good today. Brats and garlic fries. We ate pretty healthy though over the weekend and have been good with our exercising too. I didn't eat very much during the day today so I need it.

    We got in a 3 mile run today. It was hottttt. I forgot how red my face gets when it's actually humid and 80+ degrees. In good news, there are baby geese all over the place and they are the cutest!

  • I have strawberry babies too!  I have sweet 100 babies too, but my patio tomato is suffering badly.
