Popeye would be proud




Chicken sandwich w. sauteed spinach, siracha, dijon mustard, and light mayo. Very messy but delicious!
More green monster muffins!! I think I overmixed the batter this time around. Apparently, you shouldn't overmix because they won't turn out as fluffy.
Still green and tasty tho. I like having healthy snacks around the house. These muffins are wholewheat and use only 3/4 cup sugar. Handy on-the-go type of snack.

Off to try cuban salsa tonight :)

So fresh and so clean clean

We have a working washer and dryer finally!! Our old one was making this horrendous noise during the spin cyle (as if it was going to spontaneously combust at any second) and THEN it later started releasing this awful chemical smell. So grateful that our landlord was quick in getting us a new unit. We only had to wait a week and a half. Not bad.
Very impressed at my husband's handiness. He should really quit his job and become a househusband. He can cook, clean, and put together just about anything!!

Dinner last night was leftovers because we didn't have much in the house. Our groceries came this morning thankuverymuch.
I ate dinner in front of the tv. I don't think I've turned it on in a few weeks. I'm now caught up on Gossip Girl. Can I get a WOO HOO!!!
A little princess decided to snuggle up next to me on the couch.

Dessert: Smoothielicious
In the mix:
  • skim milk
  • vanilla yogurt
  • handful of frozen blackberries and blueberries
  • ice
  • water
  • splenda
  • sprinkle of muesli, almonds and dried fruit mix on top
Breakfast this morning:
I ordered this pancake mix from Ocado and was excited to try it this morning! I'm in a breakfast rut and wanted something different.
Simply add milk, eggs, and oil to the dry mix
Add a sprinkle of fresh blueberries to each pancake prior to flipping
One topped with vanilla yogurt and the other with Vermont maple syrup. Guess which one was the favorite?
Maple syrup of course! The vanilla yogurt was a bit too sour with each blueberry bite but the syrup gave the pancake a nice sweetness. Hopefully this breakfast will fuel me through some French studies, and then Zumba later this afternoon.
