Happy Tuesday!! To start out … here’s some random …
Food
Today I rekindled a love with Stash’s goji berry green tea … I drank A LOT of it last winter and picked some up the other day when I was in the grocery store.
I had forgotten how much I love this stuff!
I also just discovered this lovely new Fiesta Lime Mrs. Dash seasoning (okay, so I don't know how “new” it is but I just discovered it … I’m using it tonight so I’ll have to report back on how I like it) … But I’m typically always a big fan of Mrs. Dash!
And tonight called for a big pot of brown rice making. We were out.
I tell ya’, if you eat rice (or any other similar grain) very often you really should try making a really large stock pot full to last you for the week. It’s so easy and convenient and can be included in tons of different meals!
Fitness
Today in the fitness realm of life, I just stuck to my morning cardio. I did 40 minutes on the treadmill at around 3.8 on incline. Other than that, my muscles get a rest tonight.
Erik and I are off to watch Biggest Loser now … yay! ; )

Muscles need a rest, just like us :)
ReplyDeleteSo what's the deal with Goji? What type of information is out there about its benefits? The tea sounds good, but I'm wondering what type of benefits it claims to have. I'm really not familiar with it!
LOVE that tea :) and i need to get in the habit of making larger pots of grains... it's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLOVE Mrs. Dash so much!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Dash seasonings rock!! Looking forward to hearing your review of the lime one - I haven't tried it yet!
ReplyDeleteWe do the same thing with brown rice - I make a huge batch on Sunday, and it's so useful all week long! Hooray for rice! Your batch looks gorgeous - how do you season yours?
Yeah, brown rice takes way too long to cook. (It's also kind of...labor intensive.) I just stick a bunch in my huge rice cooker and then use it all week.
ReplyDeleteI was allll about the rest the other night...felt good to have a night off!
ReplyDeleteWe have a rice cooker and it works wonders with brown rice. I love it! I am watching Biggest Loser too. It always sucks me in!

ReplyDeleteMrs. Dash is the WO-man!
ReplyDeletegoji berry green tea? Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteHope your muscles got enough rest! :-)
Gah - I suck at making rice! It comes out sticky, not flaky and dry. I stick with making quinoa because I don't seem to mess it up :(
