I was excited to make dinner tonight after having taking a small hiatus for the past few days.

My day went as planned:

6am workout of 20 minutes on the stepmill and 20 minutes on the elliptical

school

Verizon store – where I did NOT get my numbers transferred to my new replacement phone

home to cook dinner

eat/relax/clean up

It wasn’t too exciting – but it was a good day! For dinner, I decided to make one of Brady’s favorites – crab cakes from Cooking Light. I was in the green bean mood so I made some spicy cashew green beans to go with them. Also, I had some lentils and we both had brown rice. The recipe is posted below!
