Chx Avo Parm OH MY!

Soooo this panini press is becoming a serious addiction.  I love sandwiches, both cold and hot ones.  I created this little panini and totally wanted to make another one.  haha  As always, its simple and delicious. I like to call it the "Chicken, Avocado Parmesan Panini" even though its not breaded like your typical chx parm. it's my twist to a great panini. :)

What you'll need:

whole wheat hoagie bread

1 avocado smashed until smooth

1 slice of provolone

1 chicken breast pan cooked (Perdue perfect portion) 

1 handful of spinach

1/3 cup of marinara or any sauce that you prefer

Layers the panini like so:

Bread

Avocado

Spinach

Chicken

Provolone

Marinara

Put in the panini press for about 5 mins.  If you do not have a panini press do not worry, just cook in a skillet and press like you would a grilled cheese sandwich.  Taste just as great!

berry berry delicious!

I was feeling quite lazy today after a long weekend of working, so I decided to make a new smoothie.  As always it's very simple and took me 5 mins. :)

Berry Berry Delicious Smoothie

5 fresh strawberries
1 frozen banana or fresh banana
1/2 cup greek vanilla yogurt
2 table spoons creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup skim milk
a few ice cubes to chill it

Blend up and drink up :)

You can also add a handful of spinach to give more nutrients if you want, you can't taste it so why not!

no excuses period.

There is no excuse period. No pun intended here.  hehe This post may not be the best topic but it happens daily and just wanted to put a friendly reminder out there for those of you who might have forgotten.

Diapers do not belong in a "feminine product" trash can.  This is why is it called a "feminine" trashcan.  No diapers, no water bottles, no shirt tags from the brand new shirt you just couldn't wait to put on and most likely do not even need to spend money on. C'mon people get your act together.  


Side note: seat covers are meant to be used as "seat covers" no tissue paper.  If a stall is out, proceed to the next stall, if that one is out as well proceed to the next.  If they are all empty do the right thing, tell an employee and be polite.  Thanks!

1.2.3...Intervals time now!

Intervals can be done anywhere.  At home, the park, the gym and even at work!  I'm not kidding.  On the days that I'm a "runner" at work, I turn it into a workout (don't laugh) but it's true.  Interval training is just as a effective if not better than going on a long run or walk.  Why is this you say?

There are a ton of interval workout combinations but here is a quick and simple one that you can do right now.  Yes, right now.  So let's go! :)
