Hmm….that sounds naughty, doesn’t it? Well it’s not nearly as naughty as it implies…. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Michael went to go play golf with a buddy Thursday night so I had the whole house to myself. I’d left work early for a dentist appointment and it didn’t take too long. I went swimming even though I usually prefer to go on Friday nights. The pool was insanely crowded and it wasn’t a very enjoyable workout. Oh well. On a side note, I’m so glad everyone liked my last post on Lap Swimming Etiquette!<\/p>\n
When I lived on my own,\u00a0 I ate a lot of salads for dinner. A quickie salad loaded with lots of fresh veggies and some protein (grilled chicken or salmon) is an excellent dinner. And healthy! I ate a lot of salads on my own. On nights when Michael wants to go play with the boys, I usually default to the usual: salad. This particular salad is something I’ve written about on my blog before. First, I cook Quinoa. This time I used the Inca Red Quinoa. I had some leftover Chicken Broth from the Pork Chop recipe we did the other night. I used that instead of water to cook the quinoa.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I steamed some veggies while the quinoa cooked: fresh broccoli, baby carrots, and frozen peas.<\/p>\n<\/a>After the quinoa was cooked, I poured some chickpeas on top.<\/p>\n<\/a>Then I poured the steamed veggies on top of everything and added my favorite: Goddess Dressing. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
