No Nap Wednesday

So I could really really use a nap today. Instead I agreed to take all of Kam's clients for Friday morning. This may or may not have been a good choice. Her classes start at 7:30 in the morning. I am not best before 9 really to be honest I am happiest starting the day around 10. Oh well, it is all in the name of networking and business building. She will be going out to this Mega Networking event. As I understand it the event is speed dating for businesses. I think I'm getting the better end of this deal!

Workouts are going well for me these days. That could be one of the causes for the great nap craving this afternoon. Yesterday was legs and back. Today's scheduled workout was back and chest. My back is sore. I think I will do core with my groups tonight and call that my workout. Is that fair? Not really. Does it count for a workout? Yes, if I do the workout with two of my classes. Why two? I use very light weights when training with a group and need more exercise to count for a "real" workout.

What is on the table?? How about some veggie hash? Or some lovely walnut sauteed kale?

Veggie Hash (for one)
1 clove garlic, well chopped
1/4 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup broccoli, chopped
1/2 cup cauliflower, chopped
1/4 cup carrots, sliced
1/8 cup parsley, chopped
3 basil leaves, torn into small pieces
1 TBS olive oil

Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook until fragrant. Add remaining veggies and steam saute until veggies are "desired doneness", still crunchy in April's world. Now add the herbs and cook another 30 seconds until they wilt.

Walnut Sauteed Kale (For two hungry people or a few nibblers)
5 cups kale, washed and cut into small pieces
2 TBS olive or walnut oil
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped in large pieces
Sea salt to taste

Heat oil in a skillet. Add the kale and walnuts. Stir frequently while it cooks down. Don't cover it or it will steam and become liquidy. This dish is ready in 15-20 minutes.

Enjoy!
