Great Day!

It was a great day for no particular reason.  Work went fairly quick, my office mate and I had a lot of laughs, the sun was shining, the greenhouse is growing, Miss Annie was happy getting some sun, rolling in the gravel, the bedsheets are washed and I had great tasting food.  Great day.

Is it ok to eat the same thing for breakfast everyday?  Dorset cereal, blueberries, skim milk.  I love it. 

I did buy this cereal a few weeks back, but haven't opened it.  I'm determined to try hot cereal.  Has anyone had it?  Any suggestions what to do with it?

I had a bright orange this morning, it was a little dry-ish though.  Is orange season finishing up, or was this just one that wasn't as ripe...hmm...?

Then a few nuts.

Lunch was sashimi today.  They put 2 little fried pieces of fish with the tofu in the extra space today - it was SO good!

I wasn't hungry, but do like to eat before I work out, so I had the other half of yesterdays Maple Nut Cliff bar.  The gym was good today, just a nice 40 min on the elliptical.  I haven't been running as much as my right knee has been sore.  I don't know why, but I'm not chancing hurting it badly.

When I got home I finished the bag of Ketchup chips.  These are just a Canadian thing, aren't they?  I also had some raisins as I was cooking dinner.

Dinner was something we call Morrocan Chicken.  We saw a recipe once, adapted it to what we would like and haven't looked back.  It's super easy.  You need 8 ingredients.

• chicken 
• 1 zucchini
• some mushrooms
• 1 large can diced tomatoes and their juice
• cilantro
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
•  1 tsp cumin
• plus some couscous to serve with

To make:
Cut up veggies - leave mushrooms in large chunks as they cook down so much

Cut chicken in to bite size pieces

Brown chicken in a little olive oil

Add zucchini, brown it a little

Throw in  mushrooms, tomatoes and juice as well as spices

Mix well, and simmer about 20 min, until sauce thickens.  I sometimes add a little water too, if it is getting too thick before the mushrooms are cooked.

Spoon couscous into bowl, add Moroccan Chicken and garnish with cilantro

VOILA!  A delicious and healthy dinner!  ENJOY!

After dinner I snacked on 2 Girl Guide cookies and 2 Laura Secord dark chocolate Easter eggs!  Chocolate. :)
