Blogger Week Post #5 and Food List

So I totally missed that I had my 200th post yesterday! Yayyy how exciting :) I love blogging, mostly because of you ;)

How was your day? Mine was great! I found out I don't have to travel on Thursday/Friday yayyy. After work, I did a bunch of stuff around the place, including giving the frankster a bath. I knew I was going to take Body Attack tonight and then I have practice for our Body Step Launch. Given this, I figured I would make dinner before I left so that it was ready for Josh when he gets home from work and for me when I get home from the gym.

For dinner tonight, I decided to try a recipe from Hangry Pants (the title of this blog always cracks me up). I love Mark and Heather's posts- they both present great and different points of view on many topics. I also really enjoy reading about all of their challenges! Heather recently made up an amazing looking dinner of BBQ Tofu, Apples, Sweet Potatoes & Wheatberries for BSI. I immediately book marked the recipe for blogger week. I changed out the tofu for chicken and sweet potato for regular potato (since Josh isn't a sweet tato fan). I also couldn't find wheatberries at Harris Teeter this weekend, so I used Kashi rice pilaf. The result- beautiful and tasty! Thanks Heather for such an awesome combo!

Ingredients:

1 chicken breast

BBQ sauce

1/2 cup uncooked wheatberries or rice

1 medium white onion

garlic

Olive Oil

1 medium granny smith apple

1 medium potato (or several smaller potatoes)

Directions:

Bake chicken in oven for 25 minutes at 350 (or until no longer pink). Shred and mix with 2 tablespoons bbq sauce.

Make Apple Mix: Cube onion, apple and potato so they are the same size. After cubing potato, drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and bake for about 20 minutes (until almost crisp enough for you). While potato is cooking, saute the onion and 1 garlic clove (chopped) in 1 cap of olive oil until soft. Add apple and cook for 2 or 3 minutes. Take off the heat and add (cooked) potato and 1 T of BBQ sauce. Mix together over low heat.

Cook wheatberries or rice according to package directions.

Mix all together and ENJOY!
