TGIF: Thank God I'm Fluffy! Wait... no!

The quarter finally ended last Sunday. Unfortunately, I've gained five pounds since I last posted. I wish I could say it was due to tons of dates with hot men, but that would be a lie. Extra grading led to inactivity and a whole lot of convenience food. Along with my new padding, I've also noticed (sniffle) some new wrinkles. It might be my imagination, as I'm turning thirty in about six weeks. 

So, what's a girl to do? I'm making it my goal to eat more fruits and vegetables (especially fruit) and whole grains and get more exercise. The cute trainer at the gym is my unwitting accomplice. (I do extra reps if I'm using a machine that puts him in my line of sight.) Therefore, for the next couple of weeks, SWF will be cooking skinny veggies. 

Last night, I found some spinach on sale. I sautéed a shallot in a bit of olive oil, tossed in some dried garlic, about 4.5 oz of spinach, and a small handful of sun dried tomatoes. A sprinkle of salt and pepper and the last little bit of my Laughing Cow, and I had a yummy creamed spinach. (I'm also closer to ridding my house of the cheese temptation. It has to happen. I'm addicted.) 

Tonight's dinner recipe coming soon.
