Bring it Monday, I got BEETZ...
Posted on Monday, March 11, 2013
Now I realize that making Sunday a rest day means I will have some EARLY am rides alone. Friday is a 4 hour ride/75 min run, so I'm out the door by 4am or I ride immediately after work, I guess Mother Nature will have a big part in how that plays out. However, I think it will worth the wicked wake-ups for a day of FUN with my favorite people. Sunday is also my prep day in 90 minutes I managed to pre-make 8-lil-peep brekky's, crock pot carribean pork, chicken curry w/ cauli rice, Sirloin w/ Marinated roasted veggies, bento's and chicken & roasted beet salads for lunch and 6 loads of laundry (not in 90 minutes)!
There are no words for how much I LOVE Beets. Raw beets were almost impossible to find in Okinawa so I feel like I have to make up for six years of not eating them. Fresh Market had BOGO Chicken breasts and they are massive so one went into the freezer and the other became lunch for the week. Super easy lunch eats
Chicken & Roasted Beet salad
1 chicken breast
1 raw beet
1 lime-juiced
assorted raw veggies ie cucumbers, carrots, bell pepper, red onion... get creative and add your favs.
4-6 cups baby spinach
*4 slices of bacon cooked
*1/2 cup Feta
*optional
First I seasoned seasoned the chicken with pepper and lime juice. Baked it in the oven at 425 for 13 min each side, flipping half through so I would get the grill texture on both side. I love my oven grilling pan, just makes life simple.
