Happy Ash Wednesday Day!
Wait. Can you even say that?
Anyways, we hope you’re having a good day/evening regardless.
After two days off from running (those 18 miles on Sunday wore our little tookus out), we decided to do a light jog to get our legs back in working order.
It was another beautiful day in Denver. Fifty-five with a cool, crisp breeze and lots of sunshine. Have we ever mentioned that Denver gets over 300 days of sunshine a year? Yep, yep. We get more sun then Florida and California!
Okay, where was we? Oh yeah…we did our usual running route but had some extra time so we did a speedy loop through Wash Park, one of favorite places to run in the Mile High City.
Check out these pictures we took as the sun was setting. Witnessing this sunset put us at peace. Sometimes you just have to stop and breathe.
When we arrived home from our jog and started stretching we suddenly realized, we can’t eat meat! Crap. Apparently Lent was not on our mind at the grocery store on Sunday because we loaded up with the usual pork, chicken, bacon, etc. Major brain fart people! So, we did what we do best and played a little game called, What cha’ got? Mr. B and we used to play this game a lot when we lived in Chicago because we didn’t know how to cook (Shhh, don’t tell anyone). Basically, you look in your cupboards and fridge and use the ingredients you have on hand to make a meal. Let’s just say we made a lot of nachos in Chicago. Tonight, we pulled together a speedy pasta meal full of an obscene amount of veggies. We are pretty sure we emptied out our produce draw. In the pasta mix:
- 2 red peppers
- 2 green peppers
- 1 box of spinach
- 1 onion
- 1/2 box of whole wheat pasta
- kitchen-made marina sauce
- LOTS, & LOTS of CHEESE!!
And more cheese! This dish would definitely not be featured on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. It wasn’t bad, but it would have tasted better with some sausage! Now it’s time to catch up on some reading! See ya!
