Before After

Bike ride done

It is getting a little warmer but it was not balmy here - I still wore my cold weather gear and my hands were chilly.  But enough complaining I did about 13 miles in 1 hour 10 minutes.  Tomorrow is supposed to be better - upper 60's.  Of course Friday 80's - but guess what I fly to philly at 7 am that day.  I made a Shrimp and Grits casserole from Cooking Light - my SIL and N & N(niece & nephew) stayed for dinner.  It made 6 servings and their original recipe was 340 calories per serving.  I changed a couple of things - used non fat cream cheese and 1 tablespoon of butter instead of 2  so that brought the calories down.  I added chopped jalapeno to half of the recipe.  I was really good too, cut into 6 equal pieces and only ate 1 - the DH had 1.5.  Niece loved it, she is a big shrimp fan.  We also had green beans and a salad of cherry tomato, artichoke hearts, and cucumber with balsamic.  That salad is my favorite easy salad, usually add green onions but left them out for the kiddos.

hi

my kids would never eat that. They are so picky....I mean, the shrimp touches the cream cheese, hello! LOL That salad sounds delicious, btw. I love artichoke hearts.

How was Philly? Hope your weather has warmed up by now, but not too much! Its still super windy here in Cali! :(
