Yesterday was a heavy work out day - yay! I just worked, walked 4 miles during lunch while reading The Dead-Tossed Waves, worked and then headed over to my parent company's gym for a run! I walked for 3 minutes at 4.0 mph, then ran for 30 minutes at 6.3 mph, then walked it out to get to 3.5 miles. Then I headed home to pick up Austin & Reuben to take our rug in for drycleaning. We're looking at you Reuben.... we know you peed on it!
I also had my second Luna bar - smores flavor. It was the bomb, but a little too marshmellowy to me. I much preferred the nuts over chocolate bar which I plan to buy in bulk the minute I get a chance. hehe

Forgot to tell you - Tuesday I made another new curry (yes, i'm addicted). This one was made using a new product from Whole Foods, seeds of Change Madras Simmer Sauce.

I essentially took 1 pound of raw, diced chicken and added it to a pan sprayed with nonstick spray. I cooked for about 7-8 minutes until no longer pink. Then I poured in the whole bottle, stirred it a bit and covered it for 10 minutes. While covered, I cooked the rice in the microwave and divided it into 4 servings. Then I topped each with the cooked curry/chicken mix and fresh cilantro. Voila! Curry in 15 minutes tops! Nutritional information: 424 calories, 62 carbs, 5 fat grams and 27 protein grams. Review: AMAZING - it tasted super fresh even though clearly it had no fresh veggies in it. I could see tossing in some red bell pepper, onion or tomato if you wanted to, but it's really great on it's own. I know making your own sauce is preferable, but with this at only $4 that's $1 per serving so pretty sweet! We'll be buying this item again for, what i'm calling, Easy Madras Chicken Curry. Here is my picture again in tupperware:

Here's the 4 tubs it made - 2 mixed and 2 non-mixed! (I like to mix the ones i'm going to refrigerate - it keeps the rice from getting dry)

After an enchilada dinner me and Austin and Reubs watched some True Blood + Entourage then called it a night! I ended up at 1,713 calories, 213 carbs, 54 fat grams and 101 protein grams. Here's what I ate.
Today I'm just working, walked 4 miles during lunch and plan to hang out with the fam. I did get an exciting package in that i'll tell you about tomorrow!!
Q: Do you add garnish to your food? I don't always but WOWZA does cilantro on top make everything look better.
Q: Have you ever had a rug drycleaned? I REALLY hope it works... I don't want to have to bu y a new one.
Ha ha, guilty Reuben is still cute! I've heard of other people having good results with dry cleaning so I'll keep my fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have to ask, how in the world do you manage to read and walk at the same time? I either get kinda dizzy/slow down or the book/magazine bounces around so much that I can't read it. I would LOVE to acquire this skill and I tihnk I would work out so much more if I could read at the same time!

i wasn't a fan of the smores either. i think people love either smores or iced oatmeal raisin. i'm an IOR girl for sure. try that one soooooooon! target sometimes has them on sale.
ReplyDeleteHaha, Reuben... :) Such a cutie!! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree about cilantro!! It makes everything not only look better, but taste better too!! :)
You HAVE to try the Berry Almond Luna. It's so spectacular. I'm not a big S'mores fan either.

ReplyDeletei love the smores flavor. your should try the chocolate raspberry.
ReplyDeleteOh, Reuben is soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteI try to garnish my food but don't always get to it... I LOVE adding basil or cilantro to dishes. They add such great color, and I LOVE the taste!
Isn't it hard to be mad at your dog when he has such a cute little dog face? I have that problem on a daily basis!
ReplyDeleteReuben would be hard to stay mad at - he's so cute! I just love garnishing food, but I don't do it nearly enough!
ReplyDeleteI often use a garnish, I really like to make food look pretty!
ReplyDeleteNever had a rug dry cleaned, hope it works for you.
Oh I love that curry. Its so good and taste fresh, even more fresh with cilantro. Love garnishing! So pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteI usually don't add garnish to my food because I'm lazy. Aww Reuben is adorable though-he's making the cutest face!
ReplyDeleteHey girl! Thanks so much for checking on me. :) I've actually been in Paris and just got back. I'm hoping to do a post soon and have just been so busy it's hard to get back on a schedule. Wow, I have so much catching up to do, BTW how funny is it that I was thinking of stealing my mom and sister away for Indian food today?!
ReplyDeleteAHHH! I *know* that puppy face! Reuben and Bodger must be in cahoots.
