Today was a stay home day with the girls, or rather, a cleaning day for me, a playing day for G, and a sleeping day for MC. Doesn't that sound like fun?
It was our last real stay home day before I start my new job tomorrow! Yikes! The girls will go back to daycare/preschool 5 days a week, and football has started, and suddenly our lives are once again full of chaos. But, I would't have it any other way.
I really hate cooking while DJ isn't home. I hate to cook anyway, but I knew that the girls needed something other than PB & J. So, I defrosted some chicken and still had no idea what to cook, but I came up with this:
Ingredients: Chicken, broccoli spears, yellow bell pepper, martini sauce, and pasta.
Boil your pasta, and add oil to a skillet. Toss the cut chicken in Italian seasonings. When cooked, add yellow bell peppers and broccoli and stir together.
This is the sauce I used: I had about 1/2 the jar left over from a previous recipe and needed to use it. Once the broccoli and peppers were cooked, I just tossed this into the skillet and stirred to coat.
Super easy. Just put the pasta in a bowl, and add in the chicken mixture, and top with cheese.
I'll be honest, the girls didn't love this dinner, but I did!
As we were eating, it started to rain~ blessed rain! But, not only did it rain, it was windy, paired with lightning and thunder, and then hail!
I finally got the girls dressed after dinner, so we could head out to their open house at preschool.
I tried to get a picture of the girls standing together, but MC walked up to the camera.
Then G was too busy dancing her doll around to look.
And MC crawled away again.
Oh well, one day i'll have a good photo of them together!
Okay, here's how I did on my diet today. So far, i've lost 4 pounds. (in 4 days) Breakfast was 2 scrambled eggs with chia seeds and shredded mexican cheese and a glass of milk. Snack was Chobani pineapple yogurt. Lunch was a Protein drink. Dinner- see above recipe :) I only had 1 scoop of pasta. Evening snack was a Protein drink with a tbsp of peanut butter.
