Boot Camp Dinner

Well, this is what I get for whining that I need to lose five pounds. My husband has talked me into doing a week of "boot camp" with him while the kids are away. So, for one week, we will work out every day, and we will eat reasonably healthy. (my usual motto is "everything in moderation", including healthy food and exercise - I eat when I'm hungry, and stop when I'm full. I exercise by running and doing yoga for fun. That's it. And I'm going back to it after a week, for the record.) We did have a great time today at our local arts and farmer's market, and I figure, if I'm going to eat healthy, I want fresh, really good food.  This was tonight's dinner.

This dinner can be made in 15 minutes. That's the great part.

Swordfish

marinate in juice of 1 lime and 2 Tbsp soy sauce while grill heats up.

grill steaks 4 mins each side, brush with marinade.

serve with lime slices.

Spicy Veggies

chop and combine fresh broccoli, corn, yellow squash, zucchini

add torn whole peeled tomatoes from can

add a few shakes of crushed red pepper flakes

steam in vegetable broth or water.

Cous Cous

I used boxed Parmesan and garlic cous cous.

so easy, takes 10 minutes.

Dessert Peaches

2 fresh peaches, halved

dot center with butter

fill cavity with honey

(we were able to get local orange blossom honey at the farmer's market: it's amazing)

Place under broiler, 4 in. from heat, about 10-15 mins

Peaches are done when edges turn brown.

So there. I did it. I ate a healthy dinner. It was so good, I have no regrets. Even if I don't lose five pounds.
