Before class this afternoon, I had a banana.
As usual on Tuesdays, I can only stay for half of my Step class. Let me tell you, it was tough after not going for a week and a half! I was nice and sweaty after only 10 minutes.

After class, I ate a grapefruit in the car (don’t worry, I peeled it before I left the parking lot)… the steering wheel got a little sticky.
After a much-needed grocery shop, I made something for dinner that I’ve been eying for a couple months…
… SELF‘s Polenta and Roasted Vegetables With Red Pepper Sauce.
Once everything got going, it was a really quick meal. The recipe uses the broiler in place of the oven, which really speeds things up.
Mixed media:
This was GREAT, and I’m excited to eat my leftovers tomorrow. It was just the right amount of food, and you know how crazy I am about texture… my tongue was in heaven.
Dessert was a Skinny Cow Vanilla Truffle bar, which I tried for the first time. I was impressed!
Still working on catching up on all your yums… who knew taking off would be such hard work?!
Have a great night!
The polenta dish looks so good! I can’t wait for all those veggies to be in season here.
I feel ya, I was away from my computer for 36 hours this weekend and had 70 posts in my Google Reader. Christ.
That polenta and veggies looks REALLY good! I loves me some polenta.
Your dinner looks so nomnom!
Catching up is always SO hard! Makes you want another vaca
Great looking dinner! I always end up with a sticky steering wheel when I eat fruit in the car 
Ah the hazards of eating healthy
Hope you got enough rest, busy lady!!
mmm I have never seen the truffle bar before, it looks very good!
I’ve never made polenta, but I love eating it in restaurants. Why I don’t try it at home, I have no idea. Thanks for the inspiration. Perhaps, I’ll try it soon…hmmm blended spinach polenta, maybe?
Hope you stick with your sleeping schedule AND that your steering wheel is no longer sticky. I often have to eat on the go, and I keep baby wipes in my car. Good for my sticky hands and a sticky wheel.
That dinner looks all sorts of amazing! That ice cream is also calling my name!
Hope you stuck to your sleep schedule
