New Recipe, 4 Miles, Meal Plan (in Photos)

Happy Tuesday, friends! And thanks for your comments on the coupons! I'm so addicted - I can see how this will just really save us some serious money. And I feel like i'm very loyal to these stores so why not?! Heart! In other news, I'm 99% certain i'm getting sick. AWESOME! :( I felt awful on Monday and even though i'd rested, still felt exhausted. I just worked, walked 4 miles during lunch with Stacy, worked more and then headed straight home to my PJs, a bit of dishes, a bit of clean up after the puppers, a hot shower and a relaxing in-bed-by-8 evening. Austin even brought me dinner up. Granted, I'd pre-cooked the dinner, but still. He heated it up and put it on a plate and I appreciate that! I was asleep by nine. NINE. Unprecedented. I woke up today at 6:30 - yes, NINE hours, but I still feel bad, my throat hurts, I have a major headache and my face hurts. Hola, sinus infection! Oh well - hopefully today won't be too rough at work and I can go straight home again to some medicine!

On another note, I've neglected to post a recipe in a while! Here is a recipe for Chicken Curry in a Hurry, I made this last week and loved it! Here is a photo (pre-stirred- that yellow sauce went a LONG way).

Review: YUM! This one wasn't as good as the tikka masala I made the other night, but hello - it was 'in a hurry' so obvi a lot less went into it. Also, they're so different, this is a yellow, curry powder-based sauce whereas that was a red/tomato-based sauce. I did think this has a lot of flavor - the onions came out nicely at the end and the sauce, while there wasn't a lot, was thick and easily covered all of the rice and chicken once stirred. I will definitely have this and won't change a thing - i'm also so glad I was able to use heavy cream, but still have the recipe around 450 calories - YUM! Check out the recipe on Healthified Kitchen!

In other recipe news, here is what is on tap for us this week:

Burrito Casserole - I truly can't get enough of this beast.

Brunch Pizza Squares - big surprise, these are our favorites!

Slowcooker Chicken Mac & Cheese - yes, i'm taking a new picture of this one! LOL (not in tupperware!)

Guacamole Chicken Wraps - YUM, although something about guac makes me long for the summertime. And a mojito.

Chili Noodle Bake

The rest, I hope will be NEW recipes. I have so many more to make that it's almost (but not really!) overwhelming! :)

Q: I'm going to start cooking snacks. I was hoping to get some ideas from you all on snacks that make like 6-8 servings that I could then divide for me and Austin. Do you make a batch of any snacks you love?!

Q: How many hours of sleep do you strive for? How many do you get? I always go for 8.. I usually get 7.5 or 7. I'm trying to get back in the groove of getting 8. I know I have a better day afterwards when I do!
