What's for Dinner?

So as I was making my cheesy pepperoni rollup today, I noticed there's a recipe on the back for skillet lasagna. It looks really good, but we don't really eat noodles (the first gluten free kind we found was kind of slimy although I noticed that our local store has Barilla gf noodles. Need to try those!). Anyway, basically you brown some meat, then add your sauce and some water, and cook the noodles in the same pot, then melt cheese over the top. With that last step, I'd probably eat a shoe. 

So tonight, we were having spaghetti squash, and I figured I'd do kind of the same thing. I made the spaghetti squash in the microwave, because seriously, it's so much easier than cutting it in half while it's still raw! It was medium size, so I cooked it 10 minutes, but it still felt hard, so I cooked it another five -- and it was definitely done! It was whistling, and the steam poured out of it like well, steam escaping from something really hot! Quite impressive! 

Then I added some leftover chicken (cut up) and diced tomatoes to some hot oil in my wok, and wilted a big handful of spinach. Finally I added the spaghetti squash and mixed it all together. I added shredded mozarella to mine, but Steve just salted his and said it was good. We had some pasta sauce too, so we could have just eaten it like spaghetti (maybe with some Aidell's Italian sausage, which is kind of spicy!) but there's always the leftovers!

I also had some peaches so we cut those up, and they were delicious, so you get a picture of those too! Yum, peaches!! 

It was 80 degrees in the workout room at the gym today, although the manager said it was set on 65. Do you have temperature wars at your gym? I mean, the heat index is 105, and there are 25 people in the class. We can't expect it to stay at a comfortable 68-72 in there, which seems to be what people prefer. Do you like it cooler or warmer to work out? I just bring more water, and I'm fine, but you know, the demographic for Zumba includes some older ladies, and it's a safe class for people who are starting their journey to health....I wouldn't want them to be discouraged because they're so hot they can't work out.

I ran 5 miles at the park this morning as well (hot and humid! I was hoping the track would be less painful on my calves, which are a little sore). Lucky me, the cross country team was running too! I think it made me run a little faster, but geez! I wish I had EVER been that fast! And that I could take off my shirt and run too! It was a sweaty one!
