A saucy dinner

Up early today and headed out on a walk. It was cold and drizzly so a cup of tea was in order upon our return.

Later I made pancakes for Christy since we had no bread. I decided to have one too – topped with banana and maple syrup.

After I dropped the girls at school I headed to gym for a cardio workout. 20mins on the eliptical and 10min on the bike and I was a sweaty mess. Home for a shower and a chocolate protein shake.

Then I was off to get the groceries. Had to visit both Coles and Aldi today. Lunch was a black bean burger on country grain bread with tomato, cucumber and some cheese.

Afterwards I finished the chocolate bar I nibbled on while shopping :-).

I was in a real funny mood this afternoon so found myself wanting to nibble and snack. I tried not to. I had some crackers and cheese for my planned snack.

There was also a few handfuls of tiny teddies :-(.

Dinner was roast vegetable pasta.

I wanted to improve on the tomato sauce so I cooked up some grated carrot, zucchini and sweet potato, with some baby spinach added at the last minute.

Then topped with the jar of sauce.

Served over the pasta with a sprinkling of cheese. Delicious.

I wanted some ice cream but opted for a low fat Billabong instead. Hoping to be in a better mood tomorrow.
