BBQ Seitan Two Ways

Spinning 
Today I was brave and hit up spin class. I figured it'd either help finally loosen up my legs or just do them in completely. Thankfully it loosened them up rather nicely.

It was a small class today. I haven't decided if I prefer the classes to be filled or almost empty. There are definitely energy level differences with different class sizes. Sometimes I think you work harder with a small class. But larger classes tend to be more fun - a little more laughter. Not that they are exactly easy mind you.

What are your thoughts? Do you prefer a full class, small class or somewhere in between? At least I didn't have to fight someone for a fan on me or to just get a bike ;-)

BBQ Dinner
Rather than going to the store after work, I went home to stretch and roll out my legs. I have a feeling I'm going to regret the decision tomorrow as it's supposed to be rainy and possibly stormy. But, I have physical therapy, which happens to be pretty close to the grocery store.

With gas prices through the roof, I thought I'd save some gas and just wait until tomorrow rather than driving back and forth twice. I do try to take care of errands all at the same time when I can. I think it saves time in the long run as well as money. Remind me of this when I complain about the rain and shopping tomorrow please.

Fresh veggies are pretty scarce at the house right about now. I did have some bell peppers, onions, and sweet potatoes though. I also had some seitan in the freezer. It's always good to keep things stashed in the freezer if you ask me.

I have been wanting BBQ lately. So, tonight was the perfect excuse to make BBQ Seitan Sandwiches since I didn't really have too many other options.

I simply sauteed bell peppers and onions then tossed in the seitan and BBQ sauce and let that heat through. And since it's a sandwich, it had to be served with bake sweet potato fries of course.
 

And then I realized I only had one sandwich bun left. Oops. I let Jason have the sandwich and I just turned mine into a hefty salad with some toasted wheat tortilla on the side.

Daily To-Enjoy List:
  • Warm temps

I Run to Feel Alive

Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th...

Let's Have Coffee

If you're a regular blog reader, I'm sure you've seen similar posts, scenarios if you will, about what we might chat about or what I might say if we sat down and had coffee together. I think these can be fun. Maybe fun isn't the right word choice exactly. But maybe it is? They're transparent, showing who the blogger really is ... if they're being honest of course. It's not often you truly get to sit down with the person behind the blog. Banana Nut Biscotti with Banana Glaze If we were to have coffee together ... I would first let you know that I'm not a super fan of coffee. I drink mine with hot cocoa and it's mostly out of habit rather than the need for caffeine. I could forgo it on the weekends entirely. Since we're talking coffee, I would also let you know that I've never ordered coffee from Starbucks and only once from a true coffee shop. I've only been into 2 Starbucks shops - the original in Seattle and one in town wher...
