I'm actually feeling more like myself today finally.....it's only been almost two weeks! What is up with that!?!

Breakfast today was egg beaters and a Laughing Cow wedge on an English muffin. I threw in some salsa verde to the egg beaters which made it take FOREVER in the microwave. It kinda came out all over the place but it tasted especially good. Don't forget the strawberries!


There was no school for the kids today because of parent teacher conferences so I chilled out for awhile until it was time to get ready for Step and Sculpt. I decided to wing it and see if I could last and I did just fine....burned a little over 500 calories and felt much better afterwards. I miss my non-sick self!

Afterwards, I cleaned up and hubby and I went to both parent teacher conferences. I really enjoy these. It's fun to see what the teachers have to say....as long as it's good of course which it was. :)

Hubby and I decided to grab some lunch afterwards so we hit up one of my favorites: Sammy's Woodfired Pizza.

We started with the Chopped Chicken salad with the sun dried tomatoes on the side for me (hubby doesn't like them - his loss).



We had a coupon for a free entree so we decided on a mozzarella pizza. It hit the spot. I've been craving pizza in a bad way so this was perfect. We each had three slices (they are a little small).



When I got home, I did a bunch of laundry, wrapped a TON of gifts and did the first night of Hanukkah celebration with the family. We had a great time lighting the candles and opening presents of course. The kids had a ball! I enjoyed a glass of merlot during all the festivities:



For dinner I made a new recipe: Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti: (crazy lopsided picture)



I made a side of the standard veggies (zucchini, onions, mushrooms). I had a glass of chardonnay with dinner. My plate:



It was good! The hubby loved it!!!!! Here is the recipe:
