John and I have felt the Lord releasing us to look for a new church home. So, we started out our day trying out a new church. We woke up early to make it to the early service.
Once we got home we made a wonderful breakfast! Wishing I had a picture to show you...we made a black bean, egg, and avocado sandwich! We are a family that loves black beans, thanks to my Costa Rican hubby! So, if you love black beans as much as we do, then you would love this sandwich!
I found a new app for my iphone that I absolutley love, called Lose It. So this sandwich was definitely a low cal and filling meal to get our day started.
After breakfast we finished up our tax refund (I know we barely made it!) and then headed to the bike store to get J's bike all fixed up for the MS 150 in 6 days!
Then, the best thing happened! It started to rain! I love nothing more than being home, off from work, on a rainy day. John and I snuggled up on the couch to watch a movie as I graded some papers. Oh, and Beau and the kitties had to get in on the snuggling action!
My kittie-bitties
Yes, that is Beau under the blanket with his feet hangin off the couch and an i-pad on him!
Gotta love it!
After all the snuggling, we were hungry. So I made this...
Tilapia with Garlic-Plum Sauce, brown rice, and green beans.
I'm not a big fish fan, but this turned out delish!
Here is what you need: (from left to right-all found at HEB) grape seed oil, garlic plum thai sauce (HEB), Teriyaki Ginger seasoning, and this amazing Lundberg brown rice. This rice is the best brown rice I've found! It's loaded with iron and fiber. We love to make ours with onion, garlic, and chicken broth to add more flavor.
First, thaw out your tilapia filets. Pat them dry and then add the teriyaki ginger rub on both sides of the filets. Then fry them up in some grape seed oil for about 2-3 min. on each side. Steam some green beans and put them on top while adding in some chicken broth for extra moisture. Last, add the garlic plum thai sauce to the top and cover with the lid for a few minutes with the heat on low.
Cook the brown rice...I started mine early because this tends to take a while to cook. When the rice was almost done, I started to cook the tilapia since it doesn't take long.
Here's a lil' cheezy picture taken by the hubby...
Then, Wah-lah! This dish is full of protein and very low cal.
It is still pouring down rain, so I'm about to be back on the couch for some more snuggle time before my week begins!
P.S. 35 days left til summer!!!
