It’s Monday. I hate it. I think I’m coming down with something and my eyes felt like they were glued shut when the alarm went off this morning. But hey, at least I had a fun weekend of ignoring my homework, right? I went to a football game on Saturday and hit up this really cool event called Siclovia in San Antonio yesterday – they shut down a major city street for about a 3-mile stretch all the way to the Alamo and opened up the road to bikes and pedestrians.
The down side? Well, because I live adjacent to that shut-down street, I ended up not even being able to get out to go grocery shopping because the traffic was insane. So here’s a super simple meal prep from a few weeks back…this is probably a good idea of what I’m going to be cooking tonight!
