Today was a beautiful day for sure and we couldn't stay inside so we went for a nice long walk after getting some work done early. Then we went to lunch with daddy at his work. Then drove to Burlingame, and when we arrived, we took a nice long nap in our warm car in Kelly's driveway. Is there any better way to spend your day? I most certainly challenge you to find one! We even walked Milo to swimming, and stayed to play on the bleachers!
Tonight was Kelly's night to cook the family dinner. First she put some linguini in to boil, setting the timer or something (I wasn't home yet, so I have no idea, but it was perfectly cooked!). Then she took cubed breasts and thigh meat, mixing the two because we both prefer the taste of thigh and the nutrition of breast, and sauted it with Frontier Italian herb seasoning and olive oil. As these were cooking, Gavin sliced crimini mushrooms, added them to the chicken pan and allowed them to soften up. As soon as the mushrooms were soft and the juice had started to boil off, we added about a cup of sliced grape tomatoes to the pan, followed quickly by some premade pesto sauce. We then stirred in some spaghetti squash that she had previously gutted, allowing everything to heat up and mix well. We then mixed the pan ingredients with the linguini in two bowls because we made far too much of this deliciousness for one bowl to contain. Oh man, the name of this dish is not a misnomer! Not by far! The heartiness of the ingredients coupled with the strong aromatics of the seasonings and sauce created a superb meal! Superb, I say!
Beginning this week, every Monday and Thursday Kelly and I will be attending Anatomy Personal Training Studio's BLAST class. This is a small fast paced group training class that incorporates cardio and weight lifting in quick intervals. It was amazing. The time flew and I worked up a good sweat without feeling like I was working. I felt myself cheering for the others in the class and wanting to push harder and harder. And when the class was over, I wasn't feeling like I was done! I could do this for sure!
As I sit in Kelly's living room, after having walked back and stretched, I am still feeling warm in my core and loving that feeling. Good food, great family, and a wonderful workout; what more could a girl want? Nos Pars!
