How was your St. Patrick's Day? Hopefully good. I've never really gotten into St. Patty's Day for some reason. And I don't like to toot my own horn, but probably because the day after St. Patty's Day is my birthday!!!! So, I usually have just done all my celebrating the day after! ;)
Though this year since it falls on a Wednesday and we help with youth group on Wednesday nights, we're going to do something for my birthday this weekend... therefore, I'll talk about birthday things more later on in the week.Last night we had spaghetti squash for the first time and we really liked it!
I cooked some chicken breasts in a large skillet with 1/2 cup brewed green tea (tip: tea is a great substitution for vegetable/chicken broths), some kale, 1 tbsp minced garlic, little garlic & herb seasoning, and a pinch of red pepper seasoning. After putting the chicken/kale mixture onto the cooked spaghetti squash, I sprinkled it with Parmesan cheese and a little red wine vinaigrette. Yum!
Since it was so nice outside, after dinner and making our lunches/snacks for work today, we went outside and walked around and tossed a football to each other. Here's my husband posing like a dork with our Wal-Mart glow-in-the-dark football, haha. 
And now I'm off to do some weights, enjoy this nice weather and maaaybe make some birthday treats ; )

WISHING YOU AN EARLY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
