Happy Monday (end of Monday now :)!
After not doing much cooking last week and being out of town over the weekend, I was so excited to get back in the kitchen! Eating out is fun, but after a while it makes me feel gross and unhealthy. So, this week's Menu Monday is full of produce! My trip to the grocery store was pretty easy yesterday; I only had to go down 3 aisles. The best stuff is around the 'outside' anyway.
From top left:
Pepper-Jack Chicken with Succotash - Recipe is from Food Network Magazine and I posted about it yesterday -mmm mmm good!
Grilled Tilapia with Pineapple Salsa - I'm looking forward to making this Pampered Chef recipe, especially because it involves grilling some fresh pineapple, yum!
Result: SPICY! Wow, the flavors in this were overbearing to us. The salsa was just too spicy. So, I'm not going to post the recipe here, because I don't plan to make it again! It was worth it just to grill a fresh pineapple though :)

Outcome: Loved it!!!! Get the recipe in my post here.

Salsa Chicken Salad - This is a recipe from mixingbowl.com that I really like. I've posted the recipe on the blog before - click here to get it!
Along with this 'healthier' menu is a re-focus on getting back in the gym for me. Keith is great about it (sometimes going in the morning and evening - geez), but I'm not great at the morning thing and it's difficult to leave the office in time for the evening classes. But, I'm re-prioritizing and making it a goal to get back to my regular gym habit - no excuses! Wish me luck :)
