Happy Healthy Monday
Well this weekend wasn’t as productive as I had hoped but things got done. Drywall got on the ceiling and window trim got gone. Lots of cleaning and another full bin of garbage was thrown out. Still lots to do.
Food wise I didn’t make my goal of not eating out this week but I did do better. So going to work on that again this week. I so miss my support on twitter. I need to find a way to get back online during the day for the motivation you all give me.
Well this is a short and sweet post since I have lots of work to do today so hope you all have a great week and enjoy this recipe.

As always Karla, you do not disappoint with the recipe this week! I was wondering what to do with the pesto I froze this summer. I just found my Tuesday night dinner! Thanks!
I hate when I work Thursday -Sunday. I feel like I miss so much on twitter and it is hard to get my blog posts up. But we have to make a living somehow. Maybe sneak some online time in at lunch? I try to when I actually get a lunch/dinner break (which is rare). Have a great week!

The recipe that you posted looks so tasty. I will have to try it when I’m done with my clean eating challenge. Thank you for sharing!
No eating out this week Karla, then make it to that awesome meal over the weekend. You can do this!
It’s so hard to work and not have access to Twitter when you need a boost. I will be somewhat in the boat in a few months when I go back to work. Even if you can’t get on, we’re all rootin’ for you Karla!
