Since I had a ton of pom arils left over from my chicken salad the other day – I decided I should buy some yogurt, and work on getting rid of those before they go bad!
Vanilla Chobani, pom, and my [me]&goji creation! Might not be spicy oats, but still pretty delicious!
From the second I woke up on Monday – my throat was scratchy, and the very last thing I want/need right now is to get sick!
I did my best to fight it off with some vitamin C:
Although I’m not quite sure it worked!
Now – let’s talk about leftovers…
One thing about leftovers – I’m sick of them by the second day.
So while this chicken salad was really great Sunday – by Monday I was already bored with it, and yet somehow, it turned up as my lunch:
Still good, I’m just ready for a change of pace!
Snack – grapes (which are TECHINICALLY a leftover from the chicken salad making!):
After feeling resentment towards my food all day
– I decided it was time for a kick ass dinner.
Main ingredient for kick ass dinner:
Ohio City Garlic & Chive fresh pasta!!!!
While the pasta was cooking – I heated up some spicy turkey sausage Mike’s half of the dinner:
and roasted some broccoli – 30 minutes at 375:
Put some sauce on the pasta:
Stole a bite or two of the sausage for Mike, and then combined everything in a bowl:
Pasta perfection! Fresh pasta is the absolute BEST! If you are ever in Cleveland, stop at the Ohio City Pasta counter in the WestSide Market, there products are AMAZING!
This sore throat is really sucking the life out of me – so I was really pretty boring yesterday!
However one VERY exciting thing did happen – I do need to say CONGRATULATIONS TO MY FRIENDS KRISTIN & TIM – they got engaged last night! SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH!!

I feel the same way about leftovers half the time. But then I just pretend like they’re taunting me to make something amazing and different. Pretend like they’re laughing at you! It works

1. Congrats to your friends!
2. When I read “pom arils” I thought it said “porn areolas” at first. Wow.
3. I will take some of that pasta in a cooler in March. K, thanks.

i just checked out splendid sparrow – i have been wanting to give my blog a facelift for a while – thanks for the suggestion!
I think leftovers are ok as long as i do something different with them – just like you did with putting it over romaine – guess the taste buds need a change!
oh and who are you staying with at fitbloggin?
