Failed oatmeal and Zumba -Friday Post

So let's just say that I HATE oatmeal, or did, well still kind of do. Evan's mom makes great oatmeal, sweet and filling. I learned how to make it, but I don't think I remember the correct way/recipe, so we have been trying. different stuff. Wednesday we had blackberry oatmeal and it was ok, today I tried cooking it with Peaches...FAIL-Evan still ate it and liked it, but I really think since I grew up hating it, I should be the judge.

I decided to buy strawberries and try again tomorrow. Lucy and I went to Costco for Strawberries because our garden isn't producing yet. Lucy chased her shadow in Costco and entertained many people.
We had yummy dinner leftovers for our heavy snack and then I made this for lunch! YUMMY!

Mexi Bowl(I made it up, I get to name it:)) -yes, I'm sure something similar is out there, but this is what we made from our fridge:) We've made this before, and will continue to do so OFTEN. YUMMY and EASY!

1 serving:
1/2 cup brown rice
1/2 cup beans (I used black and white)
1/2 tomato
2-3 tablespoons cilantro chopped
1/8 red onion
A tiny drizzle of olive oil
A tiny drizzle of lemon juice(or lime)
Salt and Pepper to taste

And Salsa. YUMMY! My friend from Mexico taught me how to make salsa and some other stuff:)-real Mexican Chalupas to come-be excited!
Salsa Verde-Green Salsa(it's different every time)
9 little tomatillos
1 jalapeno
1-2 clove garlic
cilantro
1-2 tsp chicken boullion
1/2 red onion
water

add to taste after blended
salt
pepper


Salsa Rojo-Red Salsa-different every time
7 little tomatillos
1 jalapeno
1-2 clove garlic
cilantro
1-2 tsp chicken boullion
1/2 red onion
water

add to taste after blended
salt
pepper


Roast washed and dried veggies in a dry frying pan on med-high heat until charred and soft all over. Throw everything in the blend and blend just until blended..don't puree. Start with maybe a cup of water and add more according to taste and consistency.


Then had leftovers for dinner, YUM-I want more.

ZUMBA!!!!

I LOVE ZUMBA!!

I go to 24 hr fitness and have to fight for a spot from the most wanted instructor-Felix. You can sign up for a week in advance but if you don't get in soon enough then you have to go the day of the class hours earlier to get a ticket from the remaining spots. The instructor is that good-and believe me, Zumba is horrible with the wrong instructor. I've walked out of classes before.

I go with Mindy Harris. She is a Zumba-aholic and Pro!:)

A few months ago I died half way through the class, I'd like to report that I didn't die this time, the last 5 minutes were rough, but I LOVE IT! Loud Latin music, fun people, lots of energy..so fun!
