It inspired me to get moving at work today! I’ve been riding my bike to work, but that’s only 3.5 miles total, so a friend at work and I walked briskly for 30 minutes during lunch. It was absolutely beautiful outside and so nice to get away from my desk for a little bit! After discussing this with my sister Biz, she was suggesting I walk to work instead of riding my bike. It would be about a 25 minute walk, but if I did that twice a day, that’s 50 minutes AND walked 30 minutes during my lunch break, that can add up! So, I am going to try that experiment and see what happens.
Now, on to my dinner!!
I make chicken several times a week, and when I got home I knew I was going to do something, but was quite surprised at how good it came out! I cut up chicken breasts into cubes and threw them in a hot skillet coated with a little Canola oil. As I was searching my spice rack, I decided to coat the chicken with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and a little black pepper. Just enough to coat all the chicken. On the side I made some roasted potatoes.
Once the chicken was done, I took a bite and thought, “This would taste good on a tortilla!”
So, I took a tortilla, added some romaine lettuce, chopped onion, a little cheese, the chicken and some hot sauce and it was so good!
You could probably do this dish in a crock pot too. Just add the chicken and the spices and maybe a 1/2 cup of chicken stock, some onion and green pepper and you could serve it over rice or noodles, add a little salsa on top, a little sour cream, there are LOTS of possibilities!
25 minutes is the length of my drive. I think it’d be great if it were a 25 minute walk.
OK, Between you and your sister, I am about ready to start gnawing on my wrist. Why do you post such yummy food pictures? lol
And it sounds like you two are like my brothers and I are. Extremely involved in each other’s lives. I like it that way. Both of my brothers married my best friends. So I don’t go more than a day without talking to one or the other!
And fat free kudos to you for riding to work. Good luck on walking there! I always hated to do that because my deodorant would give up LONG before I got to my cubical. However, if you don’t have the problem in the pits like I do, you should be good. Me? I like the water aerobics. I don’t feel the sweat, I take a shower right after and no one thinks I’m being neurotic, and it is QUITE the workout!
Nice to meet ya! (and yeah, Charlie’s book was a riot. I had tears streaming down my face while reading it. Similar humor to mine, too. I think I might be your long lost sister. LOL)
