Hey guys! Happy Tasty Tuesday to you!
It’s time to party and share your tasty finds, tasty posts and recipes. Join the link up party below, which will also appear on my co-host’s blog – Fairytales and Fitness.
I am super-excited because last Tuesday we had the record number of 25 partiers! Thank you so much, guys! I love each and every one of your recipes and blogs!
Today I am sharing with you one of my go-to sides/lunch salad recipes – Chicken Pasta Salad.
Well, first of all, you can throw pretty much anything into a pasta salad as long as you don’t forget to throw in the pasta 🙂
I love making pasta salads because they take care of any leftovers I have in the fridge! Pasta salads are also super delicious. Win-win!
Once again, this is a recipe that doesn’t really call for any quantities – just throw in as much as you have of whatever you have, and don’t forget pasta 🙂
SUGGESTED INGREDIENTS:

Hey guys!
I finally got to my blog – second time in this busy week, which sucked for the most part 🙂
Let’s see….It’s Friday (YAY!), I am back to PT for an uncertain period of time (boooo), and heading to NYC this weekend to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary!!!
The past week healthy eating was challenged by:
lunch out with my husband on Monday
Birthday celebration cupcakes at work
Photo source – Catherine’s Cupcakery
movie night at home with my family
Junk/Processed/Not-so-good-for-you food – 2, Lena – 1.
There were some good/not-so-bad food choices and decisions this week, as well.
Fruit and yogurt for breakfast last Thursday
Home made crock pot chili
Mashed potatoes and chili on top
Home made crock pot split pea soup
Whole grain orzo salad
All in all, it wasn’t the best week food-wise.
On top of that, I pulled my left calf on Wednesday night,  went to my scheduled physical therapy session on Thursday and was immediately treated for the new disaster. And that’s right when I was going to start making my way out of PT some time after next week. No such luck. The pulled calf hurt like hell last night, but seems to be a little better today.
What I am most upset about is the rest days I have to take that I was not planning on. This injury once again messes up my entire exercise routine and I can’t ignore it because it hurts to move.
Erm…remind me – isn’t exercise supposed to make you fell better? 🙂
Anywho, before my fitness life was interrupted by the pulled muscle, I managed to fit some fine exercise in last week:
12 ml ride in Monday’s spin class
Weights and strength training with Jim on Wednesday
Yoga class with Jim on Wednesday
Blogging news:
Did you guys noticed the new banner? What do you think?
Also, the former “Healthy Recipe” page of the blog is now called “Recipes” (the sole reason for the name change is that what’s healthy for me can be unhealthy for somebody else, so let’s go with the neutral name) and is powered by ReciPage!
I am still in the process of transferring the recipes from one to the other, but very happy with the way the new page looks! I think it is a lot easier to brows recipes now. You can also search by key ingredients, cooking methods and alphabetically.
I hope you like it and I would appreciate any feedback!
I will see you guys next week with the NYC trip recap!
Have a great weekend and stay fit!
Happy hump day, my friends!
To me, it’s pretty much Friday, close enough anyway 🙂
It’s been a very hectic week so far (just like the one before) – lots of running around, exercising, PT sessions, etc. etc..
With all this I am honestly struggling with fitting simple things like getting gas and grocery shopping into my schedule….and fail a lot of times 🙂
You will see the signs of my busy schedule in today’s post – “What’s on My Plate Wednesday” is featuring not as many eats as usual – not because I am a lazy photographer, but because a lot of times I am eating “on the go” – still eating good stuff, though. No fast food for this body 🙂
Ok, here we go – eating highlights from the past week.Continue Reading

Hey, my fitfam!
It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I know… Last week was crazy busy – between work, physical therapy and exercise I hardly had any time at all to sit down and breathe.
All better now, seems like, so let’s go into the new week starting with Motivation Monday!Continue Reading
