Wonderful Weekend

Saturdays are for...

Early morning bowls of strawberry banana oatmeal, eaten in quiet on a beautiful May day.

Saturdays are for...

90 minutes of sweaty, fun hip hop yoga at my favorite studio.

Saturdays are for...

Spending nights with roommates eating gluten free pizza, bowling, and seeing a late-night movie.

I hope all of your Saturdays were as great as mine.  This whole weekend has been a reminder that I need to take advantage of my free time and spend it doing the things I enjoy with the most important people in my life.  

Where To Go When You Don't Know Where To Go

"Go to" recipes.  Everyone has them.  They're those recipes that you know by heart and rely on them when you're too busy (or too lazy) to think of a creative meal.  Tonight I was feeling both lazy and busy and opted for my favorite "go to" recipe.  This brings me back to my childhood which is comfort considering I've been feeling a bit homesick lately.  It may be due to my recent new job that has been making me feel nostalgia for more carefree days, but eating this meal brought a little bit of home to my Boston kitchen.  


I cooked some brown rice pasta and added in frozen broccoli and fresh spinach in the last few minutes of boil time.  In the meantime, I browned some spicy italian turkey sausages in a pan.  Combine, add olive oil, oregano, basil and you're good "to go"!

I wasn't feeling very hungry when it was actually dinner time so I had a small serving but I'm thinking an apple and some tea will make a perfect snack in a little bit.  Happy May everyone!
