Registering and Beef Tagine

I started off my Sunday with my favorite breakfast...I'm such a creature of habit after all.  Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats.

1/3 cup old fashioned oats, 1/3 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt, 1/3 cup pumpkin, splash of milk, a few shakes of cinnamon and pumkin pie spice.  Let it sit overnight and top with peanut butter, craisins and granolla. Nothing gets better in my book.

Then I headed to the gym for a quick workout. My legs are pretty sore from my workout yesterday, so I decided to stick to working on my arms and abs today as far as weights went.  Then I hopped on the eliptical for 20 minutes and the treadmill for 20 minutes.  Honestly my ass is killing me haha. I think I've been waddling all day. 

Lunch:

Whole wheat deli flat with natural peanut butter and apple butter along with an apple, some veggies and a laughing cow cheese wedge.  Man I hate our plates haha. It's definitely time to change these. Time to Register!!

Matt and I finally finished registering. And no we did not get any monogrammed towels. I just had to take a picture with this one honoring my future last name.

I have to give it to BB&B they gave us a sweet little care package full of goodies including these:

Time for dinner! I made Beef Tagine tonight and some cornbread to go on the side. I found this recipe on cooking light's website and put my little spin on it. I added sweet potatoes instead of butternut squash and also added some carrots and sliced  mushrooms.

2tsp paprika

1 tsp cinnamon

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground red pepper

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 lb beef (I used pre cut beef for a stew)

1 tbsp olive oil

4 shallots quartered

4 garlic cloves chopped

1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth

1 14.5oz can no salt added diced tomatoes undrained

3 cups sweet potato cubed

2 carrots chopped

handfull of button mushrooms sliced

Combine first 6 ingredients, add beef and toss.  Heat oil in dutch oven on medium high heat.  Add shallots and beef, cook 4 minutes.  Add garlic, cook 1 minute.  Stir in broth and tomatoes, bring to a boil for 5 minutes.  Stire in potatoes and veggies, simmer for 20 minutes.

Healthy Cornbread:

1/2 cup cornmeal

1/4 cup all purpose flour

1/4 cup whole wheat flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/8 cup honey

1/8 cup unsweetened apple sauce

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk

1 egg white

Mix dry and wet ingredients separately, then add wet to dry.  Mix and spread in a greased loaf pan.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. 

This meal was completely picky eater approved!! I think I'm starting to get the hang of this thing.  Hope everyone has a good week! Sorry for the long post. My life was obviously way to interesting today.
