Meal Recap

Last week's meals were as follows:
 

Mexican food, burgers and pizza seemed to be the theme... I will have to do a little better with my meal planning this week!

Monday Dinner: I received my first 5/5 stars from Daniel for this Barbacoa Burrito Bowl meal. It was amazing and reminded us of Chipotle Mexican Grill. {Recipes from Gina's Skinny Recipes}. If you like Chipotle, I definitely recommend checking out these recipes for Barbacoa Pork, Lime Cilantro Rice and Cuban Style Black Beans. Just add your favorite toppings – you could also wrap it all up in a tortilla shell for a Burrito instead of a Bowl.

Tuesday Dinner: I whipped up Bacon Cheese Turkey Burgers with a side of chips – homemade fries would have been nice but sometimes I get lazy. Daniel gave it 4.8/5 stars.

Wednesday Dinner: Crispy Shrimp Tacos turned out to be a bit of an involved process, but the end results were worth it. I wish I had made a salad or something to go on the side. I rarely make fried food, but it was goooood. {Recipe from White On Rice} Daniel gave it 4.82/5 stars.

Afterward we ran into town to meet friends at the local Dairy Bar for milkshakes. This may be a new fave.

Thursday Dinner: Date night. We mixed it up and went to Pizza Hut {we don't have many options in our town}. Pizza was good but the restaurant was FREEZING.

Friday Dinner: Lots of Mexican this week, I made Black Bean Tortilla Casserole {recipe adapted from Cara's Cravings}. Daniel gave it 4.83/5 stars – not bad for a meatless dish.

Saturday Dinner: After our 10-mile bike ride, we went to Sonic for burgers... not our healthiest week. Can I blame it on the pregnancy??? 

Sunday Lunch: We hit McCallisters Deli in Huntsville after church. We haven't been there in a while and they have changed their menu {again}. They went from having waaaaayyyyyy to many options to cutting out all of my favorites from the menu.

Sunday Dinner: Frozen pizza – again with the unhealthy.

Connectivity at McAlister's Deli

Thank goodness for free wireless internet at McAlister's Deli! I was supposed to meet with a potential client at 3:30 and she called to tell me she was 45 minutes away and did I mind waiting?!?

Well, I hate to leave b/c the meeting is a good 30+ minutes from my house, so I said, "No problem, I will see you in 45 minutes." So I went to McAlister's, purchased myself a LARGE sweet tea for $1.80 and am enjoying air conditioning, sweet tea AND free internet.

It drives me nuts when I go places like Starbucks and they want to charge for internet. What is up with that? I would much rather go somewhere that is going to provide the service for free.

So I am sitting here, killing time, surfing the internet, waiting for my meeting.

Maybe I should be trying to figure out where we are going to go camping this weekend. We are driving up to Damascus, VA so that we can bike the Virginia Creeper trail on Saturday. Most people get a shuttle to the top and "coast" the 17 miles back to town. We are going to ride up and then ride down. It is a 17 mile hill. Daniel thinks it will take us less than 3 hours to get to the top - I am not so sure...
