A Yummy Summer Dinner

July 11, 2012Leave a Comment

Well, I went on a 5 mile run yesterday morning.  Running in the summer is tough because I either need to go wicked early, late in the evening or on the treadmill (the horror!)  I much prefer to run in the spring, fall or winter when I can fit my run in whenever it fits!

With that being said….I really do love running in the morning!  I rarely do it though.  It’s so hard for me to wake up any earlier than necessary.  I usually try to eek out every last second of sleep….so I can keep up with my life!!

BUT, when I do plan ahead, go to bed early the night before and get my run in first thing….I’m always glad I did!  It really is rejuvenating.

Yesterday when I got home all the kiddos were still sacked out.  But, guess who was awake ready to greet me???

The sweetest little doggy in all the world, Jimmer. He still looks pretty groggy.

I love my little puppy so so so much!  I just LOVE him!

Moving on….

I made a yummy “summery” dinner last night.  I marinated chicken in my favorite marinade.  Kev grilled it up and I made some quinoa to go on the side.  We rounded it out with salad (I have to use all our lettuce!) and fresh peas from the garden.  It tasted so good to me!

This salad had lettuce, cucumber, orange pepper, pecans, thin provolone cheese and peaches!  The peaches tasted awesome on there!

I really love this meal because first of all, it’s tastes incredible.  Second of all, I usually make a ton of chicken so we can eat it the rest of the week.  It’s great!

In fact, here’s what I had for lunch today…

Look familiar??  Pretty much the same thing, but I subbed strawberries for the peaches!

So yummy!

Well, I am heading out the door right now!  My little sister is visiting from Connecticut and I get to hang out with her tonight!  SO FUN!

Love you all!
