I seriously can’t stop with the soups & chilis!

Look at this little gem.

This recipe was inspired by Brenda @ A Farm Girl’s Dabbles, but as usual, I made quite a few modifications and made it my own.

First, I used Jenni-o Ground Turkey.

I love this stuff. Why? Because I don’t have to touch raw meat. I can just put it in the pan. It’s wonderful really. And yes, I start dinner at 7:28. I’m the worst!!!

Ingredients:

• 1 package Jenni-O Italian Seasoned Ground Turkey cooked with one onion, 1/2 green pepper, and some fresh spinach ( just for fun!)
• Whole wheat lasagna noodles, boiled
• Fat Free Low Sodium Chicken Broth
• Canned Tomatoes
• Ragu No Sugar Added Tomato & Basil Sauce

Topping: Low-fat cottage cheese mixed with part-skim mozzarella.

I made too many noodles. So today we had soup. Tomorrow it will be like…. awkward spaghetti.

Something beautiful came out of last night’s dinner that I hated. I took the leftover pizza dough, put it in a loaf pan, and made a loaf of bread. That became this morning’s PB2 & jam sandwich and tonight’s cheese panini. So delicious. It was like Panera’s Pick Two. At home. So you don’t have to sit there and dread going out in the freezing cold after you finish your meal.

Earlier…

Kevin had an unexpected meeting come up at work so he emailed me to meet him early for lunch. Since we had zero time, we hit up the cafeteria in my building.

I partook of the baked potato bar/salad bar. I ate that ALL. I loved it with the broccoli. So wonderful.

Kevin James had some kind of lame salad. Look at that face. That’s the face of someone who doesn’t think we should name our twin sons Noel and Emmanuel. Weirdo.

The gym tonight was a little traumatic. I wanted to go to this cool class. Like Chiseled or something like that. It uses bosus, weights, those exercise balls — it looks really cool. We rushed as fast as we could and we got to the gym at 5:31. One lousy minute late. The class was packed and they were out of equipment. Wahhhhh. I was  reallly mad. I know it sounds like overreacting, but I had been sitting at my desk looking forward to this class since 8AM!!!!!!

After I ran a mile, I cooled down and had to apologize to Kevin for my bad attitude. Woops!!!!

I settled in for a run. The bright side is that at least I got to watch Jeopardy!!! I answered a $1000 question that none of the contestants knew. It was a Biblical picture and they asked who the tax collector was. Matthew!! I always dominate the Bible categories, and I’m shocked when crazy genius people struggle with them.

I ended up running 5.57 miles @ 8:18 pace.

I think that if you want to buy this magazine, you should automatically get the senior citizen discount. Even Kardashian gossip couldn’t drag me away from this beauty!! It has some really good ideas that I must Google later!

What would your best Jeopardy! category be? I’d own Classical Music, Composers, Running, and Bible stuff. I was doing really well in the Urban Dictionary category too.

Favorite thing to top a baked potato? I think I’m going to be making these at home someday soon, so I need fresh ideas!!!
