Jog with Ginny and a recipe

I took Ginny out in the jogger stroller today. We dropped off Laura and school and ran about a 4 mile loop. I love being outside, it is so beautiful right now.

I tried a new meatless dish last night and it turned out great! Here is the recipe:

Black Beans and Rice
1 teaspoon oil
1 chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
3/4 cup white rice, uncooked
2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 can black beans, rinsed
1/2 cup corn
1 chopped tomato
1 Tablespoon lime juice
2 Tablespoons green chilies
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chicken stock

Saute onion in oil then add garlic. Pour in chicken stock and the rice. Bring to a boil and then lower heat and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes. Then add all the rest of the ingredients. I added a little more chicken stock because it looked dry. Cook until tomato and corn are ready. I also added a little more salt. It made a great burrito filling but some people just ate it plain. We will be adding this to our menu. Yum!

Postpartum

Hello everyone! My exercise the past week: Grant and I walked around Pit Park 2 days in a row, on Saturday we walked 2 miles around the Greenbelt (trying to induce labor!) and then on Tuesday I walked around the women's floor 4 times at the hospital. Mostly I shuffled. I can't really exercise much for a couple of weeks, but I am going to try walking a little. As for eating healthy, I just have to eat tons of fruits and vegetables and foods high in fiber and drink lots of water. I think I might try to keep track of how many ounces of water I've had. Looking forward to hearing from all of you!

Snack idea.

I found a new snack idea that my family loves. Here is a link to how to make them. Roasted Garbanzo Beans

Okay ladies. Here is a place where we can share and inspire each other.
