Yummy Veggies

Last night I was in a veggie mood. So I went to the store and picked out all the veggies I love. Then made a mixture that might be my new favorite quick go to meal.

What you will need
turkey sausage
asparagus
squash
zucchini
sweet potato
fat free beef broth
minced garlic
crushed red pepper
garlic salt
 
 
 
Start by preheating your oven to 375'
 
Then chop up all your veggies and turkey sausage and add all your seasonings. Use your judgement on how much to use. I like a lot of spice in my life :)
 

 
After about 15 minutes take out of the oven and stir.

 
Let cook for about 15 more minutes or until everything is fully cooked.

 
Then dig into all these yummy veggies. It also goes well with a side salad.

1.75 miles on treadmill.

100 jumping jacks
1:00 plank
100 squats
1:00 jogging in place
100 leg lifts
20 push ups
20 incline sit ups

1 mile on the bike to cool down
 
After that sweaty workout I was in need of a nice shower and a very cold post workout smoothie.
 
This morning I used one of my favorite cups. I made these this past Christmas for my mom, sister and I. We all live in different states. So I drew the state we lived in and marked our city with a heart. Then drew a line to connect all the cities. I love homemade presents.
