Good Kind of Tired

I have not updated in a long time.  Every time I sit in front of my screen, I'm a little too tired for getting in all I want to type.

Quick Version:

Saturday I made some amazing black bean and corn empanadas. I used Bob's Red Mill gluten free all purpose baking flour and flax-egg to up the nutrition on the crust. They were incredibly good.  I got a little crazy with the chipotle chili powder, but that's an easy fix for next time.

 

I was short on filling, so I mixed some chopped apple and blueberries to use up the extra dough.

 

They weren't a quick meal, but I was really happy to have them for our picnic lunch this weekend while we had some fun downtown at our local Hay Day.  How's that for a yummy nutritarian lunch?

 

 

Today we visited with a dear friend. The grill was loaded with thick pork tenderloin steaks, veggie skewers, and we had a green salad and watermelon.  It was so good! I did enjoy some of the pork and it was delicious. The little girls went all crazy asking for more and more "chicken".  I have to say, though, as yummy as that meat was, those grilled mushrooms stole my heart. Boy, were they good!

 

I haven't weighed myself in a few days. I've just been too busy each morning getting life going to get in a work out or weigh-in.  Tomorrow we'll see how the sat did me in. We did chomp on corn chips and salsa in the car on the way home for dinner. I'm sure that's going to set me back a bit. 

 

I'm looking forward to the beginning of another new and great week.  Hopefully my body will get a good sleep like last night and I'll have the energy I need to hit the ground running....like I need to do!!
