Spring It On

C’mon spring! You’re such a tease. Today it’s cold and cloudy. Tomorrow’s high is in the mid 70s with rain! Saturday we dip back to a high of 46 but with lots of sunshine.

Matt and I spent some time cooking vegetables on Sunday night while we ate leftovers for dinner. We roasted asparagus, brussels sprouts and sweet potato fries. The fries were gone by Monday lunch, but I’ve been eating the rest everyday.

Lunch yesterday was asparagus, a Popeye roll and leftover beef stew. It’s so nice to have hot cooked vegetables ready in a flash!

Dinner last night was whole wheat pasta shells with a turkey meat sauce on top. We finely chopped carrots and celery to veg-up the sauce a bit, and had a spinach salad on the side. Friends joined us for dinner, so that was fun!

This morning I couldn’t wait to have whole wheat raspberry swirl toast for breakfast! With 1.5 scrambled eggs and strawberries on the side. Strawberries are tasting so good right now!

For the first time in a while I hit strength class hard today. Before the race and between soccer games and long runs I eased up on my weights a bit, but after 2 solid rest days my legs felt great again, so I picked up a couple of 25 pounders and pushed myself to my limits.

Today’s lunch started at the gym when I shared a smoothie with Mazen. I was feeling pretty hungry and wanted to take the edge off of hunger before we headed home.

Once home, though, I had brussels sprouts, leftover turkey meat sauce and kimchi in a bowl.

The kimchi was a gift from my new friend Leigh who works at Farmstead Ferments.

Loved the zesty spice in this jar! Nutrition at its finest.

Happy afternoon y’all!

    I keep hoping for spring too but I probably should just enjoy the cooler temps. Our weather usually skips spring and just goes from 40 to 90.

    The kimchi looks delicious!

    I love the simplicity of your meals. It’s. Good inspiration for my own when I want to whip up something real fast.

    You have me now craving strawberries! Looks delish!

    Those pasta shells are a great idea. Change things up a bit. What did you do with the spinach salad? I’ve gotten into the habit of making salads that are involved with toppings & your salad may be the trick to reminding myself to go back to simple.

      It was just greens in dressing! Pretty good!

    Your eggs are such a bright yellow (almost orange) color! Where do you get eggs like that?

    Also, that raspberry swirl looks YUM!

    Spring is such a tease! Two weeks ago it was 50’s-60’s here & this morning we woke up to 3 inches of snow 🙁

    I love sauerkraut, but I haven’t tried kimchi yet! I’m definitely intrigued!

    I am so glad that it’s finally strawberry season again! They are so delicious and I have at least 2 big containers in the fridge at all times!

    I would take 70s and rain – and you can take the 30s and 3″ of snow we got yesterday. 🙂

    MORE than ready for even 50s and sunshine… itching to get outside and walk/bike!

    Don’t even talk to me about the weather. It was so cold in the morning but a freaking furnace by noon!
