Salad Redemption...

Last night's salad couldn't have been MORE heads or tails, above and beyond BETTER than last week's. (bleh...still bitter about that one:)  We had a Seashell Salad with Buttermilk-Chive Dressing...

The only change we made to the recipe was to double up on the arugula to add more 'low cal. bulk'...and oh my, oh my...was this DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!  The sweet peas, mixed with the cool dressing (with a MASSIVE KICK of fresh garlic!), salty prosciutto and chewy pasta = PERFECTION!! 
I was never a huge arugula fan, but it is SERIOUSLY growing on me!  It just has such a full-bodied taste that really made this salad EXPLODE with flavor.  You must-must-must try this one!  No, for real!  It's THAT good...and simple! :)  I could have had 3 more bowls worth! :)

And in MORE "new exercise" news...this morning I broke out this DVD for the second time.  But rather than the 25 minute session, I snuck in the brand new (to me) 45 minute section...
WOOOOOSHHHH...I was SHAKIN in the AM!  THIS was GREAT, but some parts of it were SUPPERRR tough!!!  To the tune of one looonnnnnnnng "chair pose" and one looonnnnnnnngggggg ''yoga prayer squat'' (yes, that's the 'techinical' name...not very pretty, I know:)  I was shaking like crazy...although it could have been remnants of my head-to-toe-DRENCHING pilates class last night!  My legs won't recover for days!! :)  Score one for the DCC for kickin my ass! :) hahahhahahahahah

We have a nice humidity BREAK here in Jersey the last 2 days.  It's sad when the weather report is 89 degrees and you feel like you need a jacket! hahahahahhahahah....thank goodness the summer is ALMOST OVER!! :)  I can't WAIT! :)
Happy Tuesday!
