Recovery Workout

Mary said to take my workout pretty easy today. So I did. I always listen to Mary.

I went to pilates and I elliptical'd for 30 minutes. Burned 195 calories and my HR average was 135. Nice and easy. Then I stretched for a long time.

I wanted to give you all a very easy chicken recipe. We had it last night and it was SO yummy.

Citrus Chicken (serves 4, very good leftover on a sammich)
In a gallon size plastic bag place 1 pound of chicken breasts.
Into the baggie pour 3 tablespoons lite/low sodium soy sauce, 4 teaspoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons dried basil, the zest and juice of one lemon, one lime and one orange, 1 shallots sliced, 4 garlic cloves minced, salt and pepper.
Marinate for several hours, turning the baggie over once.
Grill until your meat thermometer reads 180 degrees.

We had it with red potato packets and broccoli, a nice bottle of Nora white wine, and the Sopranos.

Tonight is burger night. I love burger night. One week in May we are going to haveBurger Week. One night beef burgers, then salmon burgers, then pork burgers, then turkey burgers, and then three more ideas.....we haven't gotten that far. We are a burger loving family.

I am off to shower prior to book club. The ladies would prefer it that way, I think.
