Feeling like Holly Homemaker.
After I got home form work I decided that I would not be working out today. I’m psyching myself up for spin tomorrow.
Instead of working out, I spent an hour in the kitchen making sesame chicken, broccoli, and brown rice lunches for the rest of the week. This recipe is something I tried for the first time with Andrew, the dear boyfriend, and loved. It’s a little time consuming but it comes out great. The chicken is always tender and juicy and the sauce is just the right amount of sweet and salty (a combo of honey and soy sauce with some garlic and sesame seeds mixed in). The steamed broccoli and brown rice, of course, reminds me of home as they are staples in my parents’ kitchen.
Then I went a ltitle crazy upon realizing that I had all the ingredients to make the brownie recipe on the back of the cocoa container. So… I made brownies. I will take them to work tomorrow to help ease the pain that is our jobs. See the toothpick holes in the middle? I had to triple check because I don’t think I’ve ever made brownies before since I don’t really like them.
Overall, I’m looking forward to spin class tomorrow and hoping that my homemade meals will help me through the rest of the week.
