With the holiday on Monday, I have my days mixed up. On Tuesday I posted my usual Monday Motivation on Instagram. Then I forgot to post for New Recipe Tuesday. I am on track now!
Yesterday was my 30-something birthday. A lady never tells her age (c; My sweet niece and 2 nephews etched called me to sing Happy Birthday to me. That was the best gift I could have received.
Confession- I am TERRIBLE at checking the mailbox. I did however check it on Tuesday. My birthday wasn't even on my mind. I'm glad I did!! Because I received 2 birthday cards from friends. One friend who lives 3 miles from me and another friend who lives a thousand miles away!!! I felt so special, both contained Starbucks gift cards! My friends certainly know the way to my heart!
I didn't have any big plans after work, so I hit the gym. After the gym, I played a bit in the kitchen. I wanted fish tacos but didn't have any salsa. I remembered I had cilantro and a can of green chillies. So I created this dinner
That tiny dollop of green sauce is my green chili sauce.
Green Chili Sauce
1-4 oz can of diced green chilies
1handfull cilantro
1/4 c onion, rough chop
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 lime juiced
1 jalapeño, seeded
1-2 tbsp nonfat plain greek yogurt(depending on how creamy you like it)
Throw all the ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor. Blend to desired consistency. Store in airtight container in the fridge.
Wednesday was another low key day. Work then gym then home. Wow don't I lead such an exciting life?? haha
My evening did brightened when I remembered that on Wednesdays, the sailboats are on the lake all evening.
You cannot see the 20+ boats on the lake. Scenic. Perfect way to spend the evening, lake side with a book.
After the sun set, I headed indoors to whip up dinner. By dinner I mean this amazing tastebud heaven of a pizza
Spaghetti Squash Crust Pizza!!!!!!
I forgot to take protein out of the freezer so I wasn't left with much options. I then remembered I had a raw spaghetti squash in the fridge. I've seen lots of recipes on Pinterest for this crust.
It turned out really well! I like a crispy pizza crust(unless I'm in Chicago) and this didn't crisp like I prefer. However, I will tweak the recipe and it should get crispier next time. I will post the recipe later.
After dinner I watched the Rockets game and went to bed entirely too late.
Friends, just two more days until the weekend!!! #weekendwarrior
