Last night we had my favorite summtime meal–BLTs and sweet corn!!
Actually I had a BCLT–that’s Bacon, Cheese, Lettuce, and Tomato sandwich. (Sometimes we make ABCLTs, which translates as an Avocado, Bacon, Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato sandwich but no avocado in the house tonight.)
I love this combination–fresh, light, and so tasty!! (I almost consumed it all before taking a picture. 😉 )
Afterwards, something a little sweet to satisfy my sweet tooth. Not quite a “natural” food product, but everyone can indulge once in a while. These ice cream cones hit the spot with their smooth caramel and crunchy cone, they were perfect for a summer evening.
Recap on my Workouts
Monday’s workouts:
– ran 6 miles
– abs
– 20 minute walk
Today’s workouts:
– ran 4 miles
– lifted weights (upper and lower body, back, abs) for 40 minutes
Before hitting the gym, I made this light and refreshing salad.
Ingredients:
– leaf lettuce
– tomatoes
– red pepper
– kalamata olives
– feta cheese
– and some carrots on the side
And just a little drizzle of some Annie’s Balsamic Vinaigrette–a great compliment to the flavors in this salad!
After pumping some iron at the gym, I knew I need some protein, so I tried this protein bar for the first time. I thought it was pretty decent. It was a little on the chewy side, but the middle nugout had a nice chocolate flavor and the outside was coated in a crunchy granola-like texture.
I am in the process of making No-Knead Bread right now and will have a post about it tomorrow. This bread only has four ingredients and tastes like it came from a bakery!!
