So today I ran 1.8 miles. It would have been 2 miles but I was terribly distracted by the Ride On bus that caught fire and exploded by my apartment (no one was hurt). Anyway, I took the short cut down Father Hurley and went around Lake Churchill which cuts off approximately a quarter mile of the run (http://www.runningmap.com/?id=97591). So that puts me at a whopping 3.3 miles on this 6th day of March.
On to food... I know I promised seafood pizza and burgers but none of that has happened (yet!). My thought with my seafood pizza was to use up the shrimp, imitation crab, cream cheese, and goat cheese that is in my fridge. However last night I worried about the shrimp being in there too long so I just steamed them and ate them. I also haven't made a move on the burgers yet either, but they will happen at some point, I promise.
I did, however, make walnut crusted chicken and brussel sprouts in butter sauce (okay, so Green Giant made the brussel sprouts and butter sauce but I microwaved them!). The walnut crusted chicken was a mildly altered recipe from Good Housekeeping (my new favorite magazine because yes, I'm a bit of a dork). Into the food processor I put walnut, fresh flat leaf parsley, bread crumbs, cayanne, black pepper, & salt. Then I made an egg wash of an egg white and some wasabi ginger mustard. So I coated one side of each of my chicken strips into the egg, then the walnuts, and baked them. Turned out to be a pretty good and healthy meal. Protein from the chicken and heart-healthy oil from the walnuts. Plus I was smart and cut my 1 chicken breast into 8 strips and only ate 2 of them so I didn't gorge myself on chicken and brussel sprouts, I was smart and used portion control! Yay!
That sounds delicious! I love to try new recipes, especially if they are easy like yours. Where did you buy the wasabi ginger mustard? That's the only think I don't currently have.
ReplyDeleteYou must live near our old house. We used to walk around that little lake 3 or 4 times a week with our dog Jasper. Sam talked me into playing frisbee this afternoon and I was glad he did after I got out there. It was very nice out!
The mustard I used was by Napa Valley Harvest but I don't recall where I purchased it. I would imagine a hot Chinese mustard with a bit of ginger would produce a similiar flavor, but really anything would probably work.
