It’s coming your way at the end of today’s post… But let’s back up a bit, shall we?
First things first… How are you guys doing today? Yesterday totally slipped away from me thanks to some meetings related to my new job followed immediately by my usual Girls On The Run Tuesday meet up.
At yesterday’s practice, we discussed gratitude and the thought that gratitude is an attitude. After every lap the girls completed around the track, they had to stop and tell me something they were grateful for and I added it to this list:
I swear I leave every Girls On The Run practice falling more and more in love with the program. It is so rewarding on so many levels and I am coaching the most incredible group of girls. They make me and my fellow coaches laugh all the time, but they’re also incredibly thoughtful and are very willing to participate in nearly every group discussion.
Dinner
I was grateful I took some time to prep dinner in the morning because by the time I arrived home from practice, I was more than ready for some food.
Last night’s dinner was a serious winner thanks to a delicious and ridiculously easy recipe from the Skinnytaste Cookbook!
I’ve been a fan of Gina’s blog Skinnytaste for years and have had the pleasure of meeting her a small handful of times. She is such a kind woman, an absolutely beautiful photographer and a genius in the kitchen! She is always coming up with mouth-watering recipes to share on her blog and her cookbook is a fabulous representation of her work.
Gina gave me permission to share one recipe from her cookbook with you guys and since I know many of you out there are just as obsessed with crock pot recipes as I am, I figured her Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken would be a good one to highlight! It’s delicious!
