Our house has been in uproar as of late.
My sweet husband is in the middle of finals and last week I was diagnosed with a herniated disc. My doctor has forbidden all running and has made the suggestion that I find another mode of exercise (for the rest of my life) - this proves difficult as I coach cross country and sponsor a running club. So, tough week.
Well, last night I set off from work to hit up the grocery store and then, make my husband dinner. He had an exam yesterday and it's becoming increasingly frigid outside, so I needed to make dinner something warm, relaxing, and tasty. We've been playing around with vegetarian ways - so, I whipped up green bean casserole, macaroni and cheese, and whipped sweet potatoes.
I had so much fun cooking...and shopping for that matter. I used all of the real stuff. That's right Sharp cheddar cheese, butter, evaporated milk, full fat ricotta (for another recipe). Not once did I think about fat grams....well, I did think about how I could be eating a chocolate brownie instead of sipping on my glass of red wine...but the health benefits of red wine are far superior to those of a brownie, eh?
It was a lovely meal.
Tonight I am making spinach lasagna and we're going to finish off that bottle of wine.
Cheers!

I'm so sorry to hear about your disc. Was it caused from running alot?
ReplyDeleteActually, it happened last August....I thought it was a pulled muscle and so did the doctor. At the time I wasn't showing any classic symptoms of a disc problem. It seemed better after a few months - so I started running on it again (thinking it was purely a muscular issue). Well, a year of running later and I ticked the disc off. Now, I' gonna have to take up yoga and biking.
