Hey there FitFeat friends!

So I narrowly dodged the jury duty bullet today.   I’m talkin’ by the skin of my teeth and the hair on my chinny-chin-chin kind of narrow!  If one more person ahead of me in the ‘pool’ of people had been stricken (struck?) by one of the attorneys, I’d be going back the rest of this week.  It was definitely interesting to see how this county handled it compared to other counties.  I was impressed to say the least.  And also amazed at the grilling we got while they were deciding who to keep.  I was there for 5 hours!

Thanks for all the great comments yesterday about exercise tracking!  I’m impressed with all the ANTI-slackers who follow FitFeat!  You are awesome!

A couple of highlights from yesterday’s eats:

I tried a new kind of kale in my green smoothie.  I’ll have to also try it OUT of a green smoothie to see how it actually tastes.

Lacinato Kale… Have any of you ever tried this kind in recipes? Feel free to share your thoughts and/or favorite ways to use it.

Last night’s dinner was in honor of Cindy since she likes it when I use my spiralizer.  I spiralized a zucchini and lightly sauteed the ‘noodles’ in a pan with a some chopped tomato and garlic.  Then after a few minutes I added just a smidge of tahini and nama shoyu for a makeshift ‘peanut sauce’ and it was DEE-LISH!!  The zucchini cooked right down to nothing so next time I’ll use more.  But luckily I was eating it with a huge slice of butternut squash so I was plenty full afterward.

Well friends, MSP just got home and it’s time to figure out what sort of meal we’ll throw together tonight.  I’m HUNGRY!!!

Enjoy your evening!
