Whole Wheat Elbows with Spinach, Mushrooms x 2, & Turkey

While I was grocery shopping tonight, I decided that I didn’t feel like eating any of the cooked food I had waiting for me in my fridge, so I came up with this recipe on the fly.  It was inspired both by the huge container of organic spinach I had in my cart (for the Green Monster Smoothies) and by the fact that the weather has turned into autumn almost overnight. Whole Wheat Elbows with Spinach, Mushrooms x 2, & Turkey Ingredients: 12.5 oz whole wheat elbow pasta 1.25 lb lean grou

Nom nom nom

About 3-4 weeks into my vegetarian diet, I think my taste buds are getting more sensitive. When I accidentally ate a spoonful of my mom's vegetable salad, there was a tiny speck of hidden tuna and immediately I spit it out.

Yup, I ran my 10k race yesterday! And I won 1st Place in my age group! That sure made my day! I've never received a trophy for a race before, only medals. Now I just have to figure out where to put it! The little garland crown that is around the trophy is my daughters, she had me wear it in the race.

Lunch Break

Ha! I was so busy working on this Professional Development Portfolio (a simulation for one of my classes of the portfolios that read R.D.s have to complete to maintain their credentials) that I thought I had already posted lunch! I broke at 2PM for a bite to eat. Despite my heavy run, I haven’t been too hungry. But I did have that huge breakfast at 10! I made a bean burger with some of the leftover beans we have. Mashed about 1/3 cup beans with 1 tbsp WW flour, 1 tsp olive
