Tonight’s dinner was absolutely amazing! Its a Weight Watchers recipe so I won’t give out the step by step instructions for fear of breaking copyright laws, but it involves:
- Bell peppers
- Quinoa
- Canned fire roasted tomatoes
- Kalamata Olives
- Chickpeas
- Pesto
- Feta Cheese
I like to think of myself as pretty creative, but I probably would have never put these flavors together on my own. It rocked my world!
I served the peppers with Green Beans with Carmelized Shallots. My favorite way of doing green beans! Steam them and then saute with a little olive oil and shallots. Mmmm 🙂
Try cooking up this combo of ingredients and see what you come up with!
On another note: I’ve been quite depressed lately. The verdict from the Orthopedic Specialist about my knee was that I have arthritis. He basically told me to take Naproxen twice a day and come back in 8 weeks for injections if I want to.
I haven’t been able to run much at all and I’m in pain every day. Doing the elliptical has been the only semi-bearable source of exercise for me.
I’m not satisfied with what I was told by the doctor and I plan on being aggressive to get more testing done. I don’t think this SEVERE and ACUTE pain is arthritis. I think its something more, although the arthritis may be an underlying condition. I’ll keep you guys updated.
