Shrimp!

Lunch did not make the camera today...no good opportunity. I did have, whats becoming a favorite cold weather lunch, soup from a carton. Today's was TJ's creamy tomato and roasted red pepper with added soycuttash! Along with a turkey and cheese sammy on Arnold's sandwich thins!

I had a great workout at the gym, I'm happy that running is becoming easier for me :) Now maybe by the spring I'll be all set for my first race.

I had ideas for dinner, but I needed food in my mouth within 30 seconds of walking in the door...the victim: a carrot and hummus

And I actually cooked dinner! I've had some frozen shrimp in the freezer for a while, and after my earlier post about PF Chang's I wanted some soy sauce in my life. I had recently bought a bag of broccoli and remembered about these in the freezer:I started the shrimp with some garlic, ginger, and soy sauceThen added the broccoli slaw while I tossed one of those veggie cakes in the microwave
The slaw cooked in like 2 min, and the veggie cake done in 1min 10sec...perfect timing.

The veggie cake didn't look too promising on its own but I put all the shrimp and veggies on top along with a few more shakes of soy sauce...for a delicious dinner!


There were a LOT of shrimp, I definitely got my protein for the day in this meal...along with a healthy portion for lunch tomorrow.

For a nice warm dessert I made some WF's organic hot cocoa, to which I added a splash of egg nog!! DELICIOUS combo! With 2 mini TJ's cranberry pistachio biscotti on the sideNow it's time for some Gossip Girl and catch up on an episode of 90210.
