Everything Tastes So Good

I made both the recipes I posted on my last blog. The Butternut Squash with Spinach was FAN-Tastic, however needed a protein to make it a meal. It calls for you to mush the blue cheese and lemon juice in to a dressing. Which, I might add, was AMAZING and I've adapted with other cheeses to make dressings for my salads.

Have you tried Spaghetti Squash? Seriously stop whatever you're doing RIGHT now. Go buy some, cook it and eat it. It's amazing and totally diet friendly. I'm in love.

I used to really feel like cooking for myself was just a waste of time. Seriously, I get to school at 6:30 every morning, teach from 7:30-4:30, then prep till whenever I get to leave...so that leaves me with about 4 hours to myself before I should be asleep. I never thought spending 30 min to an hour on dinner would be fun, I usually just make chili and be done with it. However, these past few days cooking have been really fun, even after 6 mile runs and really long waits in traffic. There's just something so soothing about treating myself, and my wallet right. The Silver Reserve Cabernet in my wine club shipment helps too. ;-)

My half marathon is this weekend and I am SO excited. I can't believe I went from running 1-2 miles a week to this. I can't wait to cross that finish line.

The cat situation has improved and as soon as I get the title to the Buick my new baby is on its way. Just deciding on the color. I'll post pics and reveal the winner when she is mine!

 I HATE, I mean HATE Teenage Dream. The song makes me want to die. The Glee version, however, was amazing.
