Light Pasta and a Wonderful Day!

I had such a nice day today. My workout this AM felt great, I ate a lot of fresh great food and I got my hair done! As requested ;) Here is a pic- my hair is sort of a mess because it was windy and I was running around the house cooking etc before the picture...probably should have brushed it haha ;)

I had a new lady do it and I really liked how it turned out! I am trying to get my hair all one length.

For dinner tonight I made some easy pasta.

Ingredients:

1 bag broccoli or 1 head broccoli chopped into bits

1/2 box pasta (I used organic shells)

1 can garbanzo beans/chickpeas

1-2 breasts chicken (I used one for Josh's pasta and I ate mine vegetarian style)

3 tablespoons pine nuts

1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

sprinkle of Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Bake chicken in oven at 375 until cooked through-no longer pink (I sprinkled mine with a little salt and pepper and Parmesan cheese prior to cooking). Cut into bite sized pieces.

Boil water and cook pasta according to package directions. In the last 4 minutes, add broccoli.

Drain can of chickpeas and leave them in the bottom of the strainer. Drain pasta and broccoli on top of chickpeas (this sort of cooks/warms the chickpeas a bit).

Toast up pine nuts until lightly browned (I did this in the same pot I cooked the pasta in).

Put all cooked ingredients in a large bowl (I just put them all back in the pasta pot...I like to save dishes). Add lemon juice, olive oil, Parmesan cheese. Serve!

Josh and I are going to watch Step Brothers again tonight, I can't wait! Have a wonderful night!
