Another old favorite....

Morning everyone!  Sorry for my loooooooooooooong breakJ  I think my posts may be a little scattered during the next few weeks...but I hope you bear with me!  I'll be back up to full speed ASAP! J

Dinner last night was another one of my 'simple favorites' that I don't think I've made since I've moved in with Scott nearly 5 years ago....travestyJ  But you can always 'go home' and have some easy macaroni with chicken & broccoli...

First, we started by sauteing six, YES 6, sliced cloves of garlic in a drizzle of olive oil...

Next, toss in some diced up chicken breast and allow that to saute and cook up in the garlic....yum!

Next, toss in the broccoli....

I like to steam my broccoli while the chicken cooks, but if you like it on the 'crisper' side, you can always just toss it right in to cook with the chicken.

Break up the broccoli with the back of your spoon and allow it to soak up all the great garlic & oil flavors...

Add to the pasta and WALLAH!  I think this dish had a higher ratio of broccoli than anything else, so that always makes it a little on the 'healthier' end of the spectrum...

Plus, it's just soooooooo good!  Heating the garlic on low and slow cooking it with the chicken really gives it time to caramelize and give the entire dish it's full, sweet flavor.  Why has it been so long, chicken & broccoli?  I have a feeling it won't be so long till our next reunionJ

I also feel like I'm gypping you, as I don't even have a full workout schedule to share from this weekJ  I was a little under the weather this weekend, but I'm slowly coming back to full speed starting TODAY!

Tuesday:  40 minute Bethenny yoga + arms + "booty bonus"

Wednesday:  2 mile "Walk away the pounds" with 8 pound weights

Thursday:  30 minute jog/dance/weights

Friday:  Yoga Meltdown-Level 1

So, is it me...or has time STOPPED for anyone else???  This year FLEWWWWWWWWWW by, but I swear, as soon as it hit MID JUNE and those GROSS, HOT temps....time has ceased to moveJ  Maybe I need to get myself to the Jersey Shore one of these fine days.  Maybe that'll help me to 'embrace' this horrid season a little betterJ

Anyway....hope you guys stay coooooool and have a good Tuesday!
