One Pot

So my food plan from yesterday worked out pretty well today! 

The shrimp tortilla may not look like much, but it was delish!!! I'm sure you could dress it up with lettuce, sour cream, salsa, etc. but I'm a purist.

I went with the one pot chicken dinner. I browned a package of chicken thighs, then added 1/2 C chicken broth, 1/2 C milk, and a jar of pasta sauce (2 Cups worth). Then I simmered the chicken with half a box of gluten free Barilla rotini for 12 minutes, and voila! A dinner so authentic, it could have been made at Olive Garden! (I used Classico brand sweet tomato basil sauce.)


I ran five miles at the park, and all the miles were under 11 minutes, so I ran one more, but it was 11:04. Still, pretty good for 93% humidity! It was muddy because it poured down rain last night (tornado sirens and everything) and my NEW SHOES have a SPOT OF MUD ON THE TOE!!!!! 

Tomorrow I'm going to the Cardinals game and then we have a big night at church -- first Wednesday dinner/Bible study/choir rehearsal. The problem with church dinners is that everything is SO good, so even if you only take a bite of everything, you end up with a full plate of food! I'm getting up early to run--start the day right. If you run hard enough, it helps you make good choices because you don't want to undo your hard work!
