Easy dinners and microwaved eggs


Happy Friday!!  Today's link up is with one of my favorite blogs: Housewife Glamour.

I am loving easy meals!  Last night, I whipped up everything below in about 30 minutes... with a baby... in the ergo.... Everything was courtesy of HEB and seasoned to perfection.  For the husband, I sauteed spicy chicken fajita thighs and decided to make chicken sausage meatballs.  The chicken sausage was pre-prepared with sun dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese.  I simply made them into balls, seared them off on the stove top and then finished them in the oven.  It's great that my husband happens to be a low-maintenance, nocturnal carnivore because he polished all of this off overnight like a champ.  For myself, and my new bland breastfeeding diet, I grilled two Tilapia fillets, served on top of greens, one avocado, croutons, and honey mustard dressing.  I also had a side of these delicious frozen veggies: squash, bell peppers, and potatoes... so delicious.  It also allowed the perfect amount of room to be saved for dessert.  I blended a So Delicious ice cream sandwich, chocolate almond milk, and allergy free chocolate chips.  The mix did not disappoint!
Here is breakfast!  Have you ever microwaved your eggs?  Ever since I learned how to do this it makes making a high protein breakfast a breeze!  It really is so simple:  spray your bowl with cooking spray, add in your eggs, stir, add a splash of water or milk and salt/pepper.  Zap in the microwave for a minute.  Stir, and repeat until they are cooked.  Usually takes about 2 1/2 minutes.  Today, I had another avocado with my eggs, jelly, and a few pieces of beef sausage in a tortilla.  Love the sweet and savory.
I am also loving my little family.  Justin is actually off for the next two days, and I can't wait to spend some R&R time with him.

 We are loving (working on loving) tummy time!

I am also loving my new treadmill!  It really is the best way to get in a work out in between nap times.  Today, I knocked out 9 miles!  Currently, I am trying to get in 2 moderately long runs a week and doing strength training, spinning, or sprints on the other days.  Can't wait for my new running shoes to come in on Monday.  Will definitely leave a review ASAP.

Have a great weekend!
