Coming up with a simple meal for dinner, makes me happy.
Spinach salad with raw spinach, 3 ounces cooked organic chicken, 1/2 cup wild rice, cooked carrots, balsamic vinegar, and a touch of blue cheese dressing.
Coming up with a healthy recipe for Nick's lunches, which also includes some calcium (something that is lacking in his diet), makes me happy.
This is similar to the chicken salad recipe I posted last week. I cooked 5 small red skin potatoes, cut them up and added them to a large bowl. Then I added 2 hard boiled eggs, 1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, ~2 tsp cumin, ~1/8 tsp salt, and LOTS OF PEPPER!Having a fridge filled with good beer, makes me happy.
The Great Lakes Brewing company makes some of the best beer available in the world. Seriously. Their Octoberfest beer is almost as good as their Christmas ale. ALMOST.Question: What has make you happy recently?
Watching the Buckeyes win today, will make me happy ;)

ReplyDeleteBy the way, I didn't realize you will be working at Market District, I totally missed that detail. My best friend just got a job there as a cashier, now I have one more reason to come visit! :)
I almost screamed with excitement when I saw the Great Lakes in your fridge! That made me seriously happy. I grew up in Cleveland and moved to Arizona a few years ago. I so miss that beer! I always convince my dad to save me a few Christmas Ales when I'm home for the holidays :) Thanks for the bit of happiness!
ReplyDeleteOO, I wonder if I can find Great Lakes Brewery around here? I wish there was like one big giant beer store that held all the local breweries around the country :) There are so many good ones out there.

ReplyDeleteFlorence and the Machine...LOVE their music...plus, JAMESON. I just did the tour of their distillery in IRELAND. I LOVE it! I got to sample whiskey from America (JD...made from CORN) and then SCOTLAND (Jonnie Walker) and IRELAND. Super smooth because it is tripple distilled
