Next time I'll change the 5.0's up to 6.0's. I don't like going slower than 6.0. Anyway, I like doing this because you have to change the speed every minute--which makes the workout go by so much faster! It ended up being a little over 3 miles.
I had 4 bell peppers in the fridge that I needed to use up asap, because they were about to go bad. One of each color: red, yellow, orange, and green. So I sliced them all up, along with 2 red onions, and I sauteed them. Then I added my homemade fajita seasoning mix. I ate the mixture on top of some quinoa, and it was SO GOOD.
Here is the recipe for the fajita seasoning mix--it's totally worth the extra minute or two to make your own.
The peppers and onions were so colorful while they were cooking, and smelled delicious!
4 peppers, one each of red, yellow, orange, and green; plus 2 onions |
After adding seasoning, piled on top of quinoa... yummy! |
The ONLY fresh produce I have left in my fridge right now is half a bag of carrots. Since I wrote that entry about wanting to pay off debt, I've been focusing on being resourceful and using up what we have so I don't throw away food. I've managed to use up a LOT of stuff--by dehydrating fruit, making oatmeal bars, sauteeing the peppers and onions, and snacking on fresh fruit. When trying to decide what to eat, I think first about what I have to use up before it goes bad.
I just got back from the kids t-ball game. It was a miserably hot 92 degrees with pure sun just beating down on us. I could feel the skin cancer forming as I sat there. The umpire ended up calling the game over after two innings (they usually play three) because of the heat. Jerry has a baseball game tonight too, and I planned on going, but I'll just wait for a cooler day to watch him play :)
Tomorrow is weigh-in day... and Noah's birthday!! He'll be 7. I can't believe how fast the last 7 years have gone by.

I've actually never had quinoa before...
ReplyDeleteLoved your idea for peppers. I use big wedges as a replacement for crackers or bread (because I can't seem to stop with bread!) and love to top them with a mixture of grilled chicken breast (chopped), blue cheese crumbles and Frank's Wing Sauce. It's my own little take on hot wings and makes a great lunch or snack.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the birthday tomorrow - they fly by way to fast:)
Running with an incline is impressive and I think I might have to try this program. This morning I did my 5K in 29:27 (on the treadmill) and then finished the 4th mile by 38:36. I'm getting there. We have 2 5Ks coming up, but I really want to do a 10k in September. I think I'm just going to have to suck it up and go for it!
ReplyDeleteI have to hit the produce market tomorrow since all I have is a few apples and that bag o' baby carrots! Enjoy your son'e birthday tomorrow!
Wow, that looks so yummy!
ReplyDeleteDo your kids eat the same thing or do you make them a seperate meal? Just curious ...
Happy Birthday Noah!!!
