Red and Green

If the holidays are over, then why does my dinner still look like Christmas?

Oh well 🙂

Evening, all.  Today has been pretty laid-back.  We finished up the football game (way to go, Penn State!), and then Ryan and I headed out for another walk, sans dogs.  We ended up walking a little over 5 miles!  It was such a pretty day outside, and we’d been sitting around all day, so all that walking felt really good.

For dinner, Ryan, my dad and I were on our own.  My grandmother actually had a nasty fall this morning, and she may or may not have broken her foot.  My mom and aunts have been at the hospital with her all day, getting x-rays, etc.  She’s going to be okay, but they’re keeping her overnight.  Y’all keep her in your prayers.

For dinner, Ryan had our leftover pizza and I created a Mediterranean dinner with some other stuff that was taking up room in the fridge. 

I started off with this block of polenta:

 

And then…I heated up about 3/4 cup of tomato sauce (Glen Muir organic pizza sauce, actually) with about a cup of baby spinach.  Once the sauce was heated through and the spinach was wilted, I poured it over the polenta.  Then, I topped that with olive tapenade, fresh basil, and sun-dried tomatoes.  For a spur-of-the-moment dinner, it was good! 

 

Of course, I ended the meal with one two of these bad boys:

Now my dad, Ryan and I are watching Body of Lies with Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio.  Um…it’s intense. Seriously intense. 

Hope you’ve had a great first day of the year.  I’m pooped!

Night, y’all!
