20 Minute Meal and More

Happy September! Can you believe it's September already? This year has gone by at the speed of light. I swear it was just yesterday Ry and I were celebrating a new year and looking forward to our March wedding!!!

This fall is shaping up to be a busy one with school and work, but so far my juggling has been successful. Cross your fingers I keep all the balls in the air.

Last night, I made a tasty 20-minute supper (HA! Rachel Ray take THAT!). More and more, you will probably see these sort of meals pop up on my blog, as homework has taken over a HUGE portion of my time. I used a box of Whole Grain Rice-a-roni, made per instructions, except that I threw in some frozen peas I needed to use up and some fresh spinach.

Meanwhile, I browned some chicken with sea salt, crushed black pepper and garlic powder in some EVOO.

I paired my chicken/rice with leftover chicken ceasar salad from the night before, as I'd already had a pretty carby day. (On a baby plate.)

Later, while doing hordes of math homework, I was craving something yummy and decadent-feeling. I cut up a banana, smeared it with PB & Company's Chocolate spread and also some crunchy pb and broke up a couple pretzels on top. Yum!

This morning's breakfast was an ezekiel muffin with the pb/choc spreads. And a banana.

Lunch was a ham/hummus sammy and a cut-up mango. I started to chow down before I took a pic!

I hope life is great with you. Mine has become busy, but I'm still keeping up with your blogs. In addition to Hubby in the Kitchen nights, I might soon be unveiling a guest chef for you, and I haven't forgotten that I still need to fill you in about my new writing update. Will do soon. No worries.

Happy eating,
--Mrs. Myers
