This weekend was the perfect mix of eventful and uneventful. Sunday I went to the gym early before church and got a run in. Then mom and I went to church, lunch and out for mani-pedi's. We went to Cheesecake Factory for lunch and I got the fresh vegetable salad. It was really good and loaded with tomato, asparagus, beets (yum-O), edamame, grilled chicken and mixed greens.
I was very fortunate and got Monday off so my weekend was actually a little extended and very much appreciated :)
Monday I got up and went to the gym to work on back, bi's and tri's and then went for a nice run. Then Bayli came over and we attempted making Chicken Tikka Saag. It all started out about a week ago when I went to this amazing Indian restaurant in Grandview called Aab India. I ordered Chicken Tikka Saag and it was amazing. I decided I had to try and make it. My go at the recipe just didn't compare to the restaurants but it wasn't totally hateful. Not flavorful enough though. It had spinach, chicken, yogurt and loads and loads of spices including turmeric (which is great for inflammation), cardamom, coriander, paprika, chili powder and even more.
Next Bayli and I hit a little coffee shop here in town to do some school work. I had an exam to do so I could finally kiss the strenuous Fat and Lipid chapter goodbye! The weather was so nice that we just had to sit outside and bask in the sun while we worked :)
Once I finally finished with school priorities I met with a friend for Northstar Cafe. One of their most popular menu items is the Northstar Burger. It's a vegetarian patty made with brown rice, beets (mmm more beets <3) and black beans. I got mine bunless and it was still delish :)
I couldn't have asked for a better start to the week! Here's to yours :)
