Shhhhhh.....hear that?
NOPE me neither!
It's been three years since my kiddo has had a nap on the regular. Let's just say, it's been a long 3 years. Since starting pre-school 3 days a week for a few hours, they seem to be happening a bit more. Some weeks its 1 day, some it's 3 days. I will take what I can get. Today was an early day so somehow I convinced him to lay down on the air mattress while I enjoy some computer time. It took about 2 songs in & he was out!
So instead of folding the towels I just brought up from the dryer, I will take a few minutes to myself & write. I am sitting here listening to Imogen Heap radio on Pandora with the soft, soothing voices, dreaming of the beach.
Ahhhh, I am in my happy place.
Back to the my reality...
The day after my 39th Birthday (that was hard to type, lol) the Lenten Season began. My hubby & I have been trying to make better eating choices. Personally, I cannot eat chicken & veggies EVERY day. Seafood & fish seem to be a happy medium My husband works in the Strip District of Pittsburgh & is a block away from an awesome fish market called Wholey's. It's something to see, let me tell ya. Lots of whole fish looking at ya, live lobsters and fish & lots of other seafood. Plus a whole meat department.
A foodies heaven! If you are ever in Pittsburgh, you gotta check it out.
For Ash Wednesday,
We had Cajun Seafood Alfredo with shrimp & crab meat
(Don't tell anyone, it was the imitation stuff & still yummy)
This past Friday was the first Friday of Lent & we were pretty boring. Cheese pizza from Costco. Delicious, but boring & not the best thing when trying to watch what you eat.
Now Valentines Day was a different story! We had some great blackened Salmon I grabbed from Costco. We had already had steak for dinner that week so more fish it was & I wasn't mad at all. I thought I took a picture but I didn't. Apparently I was too hungry to Instagram my food for once.
My husbands taco My taco
That was not the case on Monday!
We had salmon that we hadn't cooked yet & some thawed out shrimp so tacos seemed perfect.
I stocked up on veggies that weekend & planned on making some pineapple salsa. (I will share that recipe next time. It's amazing!) Unfortunately the pineapple needed another day so I made some homemade pico de gallo. I don't know about you, but I would much rather have fresh anything!
And today's lunch was brought to me by left over shrimp.
This Shrimp Caesar Salad was unexpectedly awesome!
Now that I have bored you long enough with my food intake,
time to get back to those towels that aren't gonna fold themselves.
Remember to give seafood a try this Lenten Season
and
Enjoy the day!
