Wellness Wednesday

So usually my cooking goes a little something like this:
 
 
 But last night I was super hungry when I got home from work and I decided it would be best to make dinner before heading out for a bike ride. I came up with the following: roasted baby potatoes, yellow/green squash with broccoli, and grilled chicken.
 
I threw all these spices into a large bowl and mixed everything together with the potatoes. I didn't measure anything out as I never do. Then put them in the oven on 400 for 35 minutes.
 
 
 
Next was cutting up the veggies and tossing them in a pan to cook/steam.
 
 
Finally, the grill master that I am I went out to grill the chicken. I had marinated it with McCormick's grill mates - mesquite spices.

yes i'm grilling in spandex


Kiwi was helping me grill :)
The final product was a yummy dinner followed with some ice cream for dessert.
 
 
I never made it out for my ride because I was too full and it was already 7 something. booo.
 
Anyhow, I hope everyone had a yummy dinner yesterday. If you have any quick easy recipes I would love to try them out.

  1. Yum, that dinner looks good. Your cat is so cute! I am curious, why did you choose the name Kiwi? I love it:). One of my favorite recipes is crockpot chicken because you just throw chicken, corn, and salsa in the crock pot and let it cook, and it's delicious and healthy! http://untilyoutri.com/favorite-recipes/crock-pot-fiesta-chicken/

Why did you choose the name Kiwi? I love it:). Also, I was saying that I have a crock pot chicken recipe that I love because it's easy and tastes great.

  4. I don't cook, either. Its just too much work and not enough reward to feed one person. Love the grilling though!

  5. That chart describes my cooking pretty well. I feel like Beth does, it's a lot of work to cook for one person. I do like easy veggie burritos - I just cook up black beans, corn, tomatos, green chiles (one can of each) and an onion and throw the mix in a tortilla with some cheese.

  6. Our dogs love "helping" us grill, too. Though we all know they just want the droppings ;)

    I love grilling in the summer!

    You should check out my recipes for grilled corn and grilled veggies and grilled tofu and grilled mushroom burgers (jees, I didn't realize I had so many grilling recipes, haha!). So good! And they're all a snap to make, too! They're under the "Recipes" tab on my page.
