Home Made Pad Thai - Just Because it Looked Pretty and Tasted Great!

By -


So it's no secret that I rely heavily on the Everyday Food Cooking Light Cookbook.  This is the Pad Thai.  It was so yummy.  I did drown it in cilantro (because I LOVE cilantro and it's practically calorie free and adds volume).  It ended up being super tasty.  The only issue I had was locating the right noodles.  I had a hard time finding un-prepared Pad Thai noodles so I had to guess on the ounce-age.  I"m going to order some online for next time.  It was crazy easy and fast.  I added a chicken breast that I grilled (four minutes on each side seasoned with S&P(Salt and Pepper), Onion Powder, a dab of soy sauce, and garlic powder.  A quick spray of Pam Olive Oil so it wouldn't stick to the grill and PRESTO, yummy chicken.  

This meal took me about 20 minutes and one pan.  Just my kind of meal.

Cindy and February

By -
So....February came and went. I turned 45, Eliza turned 17, Valentines came and went, I went to New York for work and I kept training for my 10k.(We are now running about 30 minutes at a time averaging 3.5 miles total per run, 3 x a week.) I am not quite the exercise animal Shelly is but I too find that if I work out I am more hungry. My goal was 20 lbs I only made a little over 16. February was hard....too many temptations. However, I did learn that you can drink a ton of water while traveling and you can use the hotel's exercise room all night. I am feeling recharged and ready to knock March out of the water!!! Until then......Spring has Sprung.

So, another day of what my family calls "nuke" and vomit.  We call it nuke thanks to my oh so wise brother-in-law.  When he was little he used to make up words.  One day he came out of the bathroom and said, "I nuked."  Everyone asked what he meant and he said, "I nuked, makes you have a sick bum.".  Since then, we've all referred to this particular malady as nuke.  So there was lots of nuking at our house today.  I'm seriously going to have to invest in Lysol with the rate at which I am using their products. I finally dragged all of my children to the gym thinking the worst was behind us (no pun intended) and W had diarrhea and we had to throw his clothes away.  I managed to run about 3.5 miles before getting called away but such is life with three very little kids.  As I have no time for anything, I bought chicken and squash (yellow and zuchinni) to grill for dinner tonight.  It's one of the simpliest and fastest healthy dinne...
