Quality Time With My Hubby

Today was a wonderful day spent with my husband. I had to work this morning, so I ate breakfast at the office. I had a double fiber english muffin, and attempted to eat some Greek Yogurt (because I've heard so much about it lately.) I was NOT impressed. It tasted like sour milk. Maybe it was just the brand, but it was terrible. I was only able to eat the English muffin. I have a couple other brands on Greek Yogurt at home to try...I'm hoping they're better than this one. I'd like to be able to eat it, and I have seen a lot of recipes using it as an ingredient and I'd like to be able to try them out.


I got home from work around 1:00 and fixed myself a quick lunch. I had a turkey hot dog, cheese stick, and chocolate soy milk. I'm loving turkey hot dogs right now. They're much healthier than regular hot dogs, but when you dress them up with relish and mustard, you can hardly taste the difference. I feel like I'm spluring on something bad for me without actually eating junk food! I ate it with a Nature's Own whole wheat hot dog bun. :)

After lunch, Joel and I decided to go to Half Price Books to browse and see what we can find. We could spend hours in that store looking at all the CD's, movies and books they have. We got a few things there, and had some time to spare so we went to Barnes and Noble to see what else we could find.

I got an Ellie Krieger cookbook! It has a ton of delicious looking recipes. I really like her show on the food network, and this book also has a lot of health tips and even a section on what to keep stocked in your pantry so you'll always have ingredients to prepare healthy, delicious meals.

I tried one of the recipes out when we got home! Pork medalions in lemon-taragon pan sauce on top of couscous with asparagus and broccoli! It was delicious. I can't wait to try more recipes from my new book!
It's been great to have a day alone with my husband. Tomorrow, I am really looking forward to sleeping in and relaxing all day!
