]]>After that my day got better. I went for a picnic at the park across the street with a good friend and her kids. We ate tuna fish, veggies, fruit and even a little dark chocolate. While the kids played we sat in the sun and had some great conversations about God, life, work, friends and even some Philadelphia sports. We went on a walk on the trails and saw some wildlife, a mini waterfall and some beautiful flowers.
I cam home, tutored one of the kids in the neighborhood and then completed my evening with some gardening with Brandon and dinner on the grill.
Even though I was bummed about my leg, God gave me a fabulous day to take my mind off of that issue.
My garden box is complete and ready for planting tomorrow. I have the rest of the yard just about completed or at least some good ideas. So thankful for the time I have had this week to do some work, enjoy the outdoors and the company of good friends, family and most importantly my husband. For lunch I made this tuna recipe and added some fresh spinich and some diced green peppers. I packed a bag of celery and carrots. A
container of blueberries and blackberries and a little dark chocolate for snack (since I was walking it off any way!).
Dinner was Herbed Balsamic chicken and papaya/pineapple skewers on the grill!
Herbed Balsamic Chicken
- 4 TBS olive oil
- 2 tsp Balsamic Vinaigrette
- 1 Tbs McCormick Chicken rub
- 1 tsp Garlic
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and brush on the chicken. Save extras to brush on the chicken throughout the grilling process.
Brandon cooked them on a wood fired grill for at 300 degrees for about 10 minutes on each side.
Pineapple and Papaya Skewers
- 1/2 Papaya, cut into chunks
- 1/4 Pineapple, cut into chunks
Place fruit alternately onto a wooden skewer. Place on the wood fired grill at 300 degrees for about 1 minute on each side.
