Please Pass the Wild Rice

by Nicci on 03/09/2011

I’m in the second week of fit camp (aka Booty camp) and things are going great!  Tonight night we had the pleasure of pulling tires…not my idea of fun but I pushed through and pulled that tire pretty fast down the parking lot.  Followed by running hills which left my legs feeling like Jell-O.

The thought of working out today was far from my mind, but I knew I wouldn’t regret sweating after it ended.

I’m loving that I’m staying motivated and working out with 4 other coworkers.

Workout buddies are great for motivating you to push yourself.

Tonight’s dinner:

My current love for wild rice!

Rice and Shrimp Dinner

Wild Rice, grilled shrimp with sautéed okra and bell peppers.

Happy to eat a clean meal and go to bed…after some Law & Order: SVU re-runs. Smile

G’night.

Crazy Combo

by Nicci on 08/27/2009

Good Morning,

Inspired by last nights dinner and Tina @ Carrots N Cake, I used my leftovers in my smoothie this morning!

Sweet Potato Smoothie: Somewhat similar to Tina’s Smoothie but with strawberries added.

BLEND, BLEND, BLEND…

I was worried I may not like this as much as just a plain sweet potato but it was great!  I probably wouldn’t do this as a breakfast smoothie again, save it for the afternoon or for dessert.

Speaking of Crazy Combos, last nights dinner consisted of shrimp tossed in Evoo and a little bit of S&P.  I really wanted to cook with the shrimp I had bought earlier this week. 

So last night I kept thinking I didn’t want any brown rice or whole wheat pasta, what could I make for dinner?  I completely forgot I had sweet Potatoes…duh!  So, I made sweet potatoes for the bf and I with black beans.

  • Sweet potato
  • black beans
  • Sprinkle of cheese
  • Oikos plain Greek yogurt…No, it’s not sour cream…better than sour cream!

This is the best sweet potato I’ve had in a long time!  Chris (the bf) has never had a sweet potato and he loved it.  :)

This filled my tummy nicely, this potato was huge!

What kind of toppings do you like to put on your sweet potatoes or regular potatoes?
