Happy new week Friends! The sun is shining today and the temps are reaching the high 60’s!! I ran this morning and I reached my goal- 5 1/2 miles!! I was so happy to finally get over the 5-mile mark and still feel good. My plan is to run a 1/2 marathon next summer and I should definitely make my goal. 😊
This weekend found us staying home and relaxing. We rode bikes (14) miles Friday night and on Saturday we stayed in most of the day because of rain. I read and Dave worked on the computer. And of course, we caught-up on Shameless. We are on season three and we are addicted– binge watching whenever we get a chance!
Sunday, we watched the Lions beat the New York Giants! It was an amazing game and I kept hitting Dave and screaming when the Lions did something good on the field. I think he might ask me to sit on a separate sofa if I continue beating him up during the Lions games. 😗
We did get to Bed, Bath and Beyond for a spiralizer over the weekend. Do you have one of these? It makes noodles out of vegetables. Last week I bought some zucchini noodles at Kroger and they were delicious, but expensive. I am on the Keto Diet right now, a mild form of it, and pasta is out of the question. Someone suggested using zucchini noodles instead if I wanted an easy meal without the carbs. Dave and I fried up the zucchini noodles in olive oil and tossed them with red and yellow peppers, onions and tomatoes and a scoop of prepared pesto sauce. It was delicious! And now that I can prepare my own vegetable noodles, I will prepare this dinner more often- it’s a healthy delicious alternative to pasta.
Here’s a YouTube video to help you decide if you also want to purchase a spiralizer. We liked this one because it’s just the two of us and I didn’t want to invest too much money ($10) and I didn’t want to give up too much drawer space to store a larger spiralizer.
Hope your Monday is off to a great start!
Karen
