Being cooped up inside all day because of the wind and rain (thankfully it's not snow) has made today dreary, long, and all around not fun. I was just about to give up on my day entirely, convinced it could not be saved, when I decided to sit down and have some lunch. I'm telling you - it's the simple things that get me every time. This meal is turning my day around. The other night I made a soup/chilli that I concocted during last year's long winter:
- Organic roasted red pepper and tomato soup
- 1 can of black beans
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- Ground turkey breast, (99% lean) browned
After I brown the turkey meat, I throw all of these ingredients into a pot and voila! Dinner and fab leftovers. You can also throw any kind of bean/veggie combo you wish or throw in brown rice or quinoa for something a bit heartier.
So anyways, today for lunch I had some of that soup and then I made myself a good old fashioned grilled cheese with American cheese and Pepperidge Farm Oatmeal bread. Yup. Full and satisfied.
I don't have a fancy camera like my fellow bloggers and tumblrs so you'll just have to imagine how good my lunch looked. In the meantime, here is something equally (if not more so) perfect than my lunch...
I apologize to the male readers out there, but I mean...c'mon. I have never showed any bloglove to the men out there, but JGL seems worthy, no?
I am adding this picture as an afterthought because although JGL is pretty fantastic, I do like my guys a little...rougher around the edges? I guess you could say? Wayfayers? Check. Muscular & tattooed arms? Check. Dog? Check.
