Just another thursday.

Just another Thursday...

Work has been super slow lately. Luckily I am there no matter what. Most of my patients are first thing in the morning and last ones in the evening.

Here's my lunch today. I had a whole PB&J prior to the picture, roasted red pepper hummus and celery, chobani yogurt with chia seeds and Back to Nature Cranberry Pecan granola, and an apple, earlier that day there was a banana in the mix as well. On slow days at work I tend to eat more, not much more for me to do besides clean...

Tonight I also got to use my new vacuum, the RAINBOW. It uses water as a filtration system instead of air filters so it doesnt clog and all you have to do is rince the water out. We live on a lake right now with lots of sand around, so with 2 dogs this place gets pretty nasty. I will take pictures of all the stuff that comes up!

Last night I also decided to run it as an air purification system with some deodorizor in it. I came down in the morning to a fresh smelling house! mmm...

This weekend was a busy one. We had gone to Saratoga on Friday for a friend's we

This weekend was a busy one. We had gone to Saratoga on Friday for a friend's wedding which was a ton of fun. We headed home early Saturday because the in-laws where coming up for a visit. It was a relaxing day of hanging out, going to dinner, and playing games. Sunday we headed the Foothills, the local diner,for breakfast. I had cinnamon raisin french toast, YUM. After we headed to the buffalo farm. They had all sorts of exotic meats and you can order fresh stuff like leg of lamb. While we were here we got to see about 30 of their 100 buffalos they have. The owner explained to us there was 3 different farms. After lunch we headed to look at some property which didn't turn out too well. We will just keep on looking. . . .

Breakfast for Dinner

Typically I am not a big fan of breakfast for dinner but tonight was one of those busy days again and I forgot to take anything out to defrost for dinner. So it was either take out or breakfast for dinner.

Now the big decision would be eggs or pancakes? I really enjoy both but we have 2 dozen eggs in the fridge because I was going to make tres leches cake, but then gave up sweets for lent, so we have slowly been getting rid of them.

First I cooked up 1/2 an onion, a small green pepper, a clove of garlic and 3 sausage links.

 Chopped up 2 BIG handfuls of spinach

 Scrambled 6 eggs with a little milk for extra fluffiness

 Mix it all together with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder for this beautiful egg scramble

 Top with a dolop of salsa and BRINNER (BReakfast and dINNER) is done.

Wally really enjoyed his brinner. The dogs waited patiently while we ate, because they eat after us.

Now off to our next workout; P90x LEGS and BACK, I think.

Very boring lunch

Happy Thursday! Today is my last day of work for this week. Tomorrow we head for Saratoga for Lauren and Bryan's Wedding where I have the honor to do a reading. :)

Today's breakfast was blueberry waffles with peanut butter. Sorry no pictures. I was in a rush getting out the door today. Lunch was also pretty boring. I had a leftover subway sandwich, pineapple and plain chobani. I am not to fond of plain chobani so I figured I would add some fruit. I am bummed that I forgot to bring chia seeds with me. I just received my package from iherb.com with them in there and I am dying to try them. My morning snack consisted of 5 pretzel rods. Hopefully I am not hungry later because that is all the food I brought with me today.

Very boring lunch

 Last night was a busy night. We had a rep from Rainbow cleaning systems come give us a talk. We had stopped by their booth at a home show and they were giving us a air purification system. They were also trying to sell a larger system which has attachments to make it into a vaccum. To see all of the junk that came out of the carpet and cushions was disgusting :P  (I'll post pictures of it later). I will probably use it later today or tomorrow especially because my in-laws are likely coming up this weekend.

Hopefully we will also be able to see some more properties this weekend. I am so ready to buy something so this house building process can get started.

P90X last night was Yoga. Some things are getting easier and some aren't. I am pleased with the flexibility that I am gaining.

I need plans for dinner, any ideas? something quick and easy please...

Happy 2 month anniversary. Tonights dinner was venison with aspargus and a pasta

Happy 2 month anniversary. Tonights dinner was venison with aspargus and a pasta side. I cheated with the pasta. It was a long day at work and sometimes you just want an easy dinner.
workout tonight is P90X shoulders/arms and ABS.

Party Time!!

Quick update today...

My meals today were pretty boring, cereal and coffee for breakfast, leftover lasagna roll ups for lunch, and ravoli with sauce and green  beans for dinner.

But this weekend on the other hand was a little bit more exciting. First, I left my sick husband with our two dogs and drove through Vermont to Party-town, NY, just kidding, we were in Cohoes then Troy.

It was snowing on my drive over the mountains. You can't see the snow all that well.

 Lauren, the bride to be opening presents. It was small shower but she has already receieved a TON of stuff.

 I have known these girls for 10 years. I can't believe that. We all met our freshman year of college. All different majors and all completely different personalities. I think that is what makes it work.

 Bachelorette Party BEGINS... pitchers of Sangria, Tacos, and Jello shots

 Homemade guacamole... 4 avocados, tomatoes, garlic, red onion, jalapenos, salt and pepper to taste.

 Hanging out, having a good time...

 "Lauren Jenga" - So the story behind this - someone made up a game drinking jenga, each tile you took had something that you needed to do; drink 1, drink 2 ..., give 1, give 2, social, waterfall... So Zerlina (the creative one) decided to make Lauren her own version.

 Some of the tiles...

 Z- was also in charge of the Sangria which was DELICIOUS

 More party fun

 Naughty bingo with some sweet prizes...

 Now, out to the bar. Browns Taproom, I do miss their Cherry Raspberry Ale.

 One my way back home to NH. I saw some crazy stuff like a giant bed and chair...

 I also made this pit stop. This is nostalgic for me. As a kid driving to NY for CT we would always stop here and get lemon or rootbeer candy. So naturally I made the stop, enjoyed the view, but resisted temptation of going inside for candy.

 Later I found this covered bridge. For some reason they fascinate me.

Hope you enjoyed all the pictures. Tonights workout was P90X Plyometrics. We are on week 2, I am pretty motivated to keep on going, but I need to get outside and start running more as well.

Until next time...

Finally Friday!

Happy April Fools Day!

Work was another slow day at work. I woke up this morning to 4 inches of snow on the ground and it was still coming down.

this is actually the sunrise from Thursday morning. After our early morning workout.

Tonights dinner was DELICIOUS!!

Spinach and Mushroom Lasagna Roll-ups with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce

from Rachel Ray 30 Minutes Meals 2

 Over medium heat saute mushroom bits, chopped onion, and garlic in oil. Until mushrooms give off their juices ~ 7-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add dry chpped spinach to pain and heat through for 1 minute. Adjust salt and pepper and add nutmeg (I used All-spice, didn't have nutmeg).

 Add 2 c. of ricotta and stir for 1 minute. Remove pain from heat but leave veggies in skillet while rolling lasagna.

 Spread a layer of spinach mushroom filling on pre-cooked lasagna noddle.

 Roll up...

 And arrange 8 noddles in casserole dish...

 In small sauce pan, heat chicken broth over moderate heat. Melt gorgonzola cheese into both and bring to a boil. Add cream and stir to thicken.

 Cover lasagna noddles with sauce and mozzarella cheese.

 Broil until cheese is melted....

 Yum...

 And serve...

I was the only one eatting tonight because Wally is not feeling well. There are lots of leftovers. Can't wait to make this again. Using the food processer for the mushrooms and onions was a great idea, chopped up the pieces very small, made for a great filling consistency.

Lots of laundry got done today as well. Now I just need to put it away and get ready for NY.

Until later...
