On Saturday, I tried this recipe from Cooking Light for charred broccoli with lemon and feta. I didn't add the lemon zest because Jess doesn't care for lemon. The recipe turned out really well, I think. Roasting the broccoli first made it more flavorful, but next time I'll roast it for less time because it fell apart in the sauce. Otherwise, it was great. I may add some other vegetables next time.
Sunday, I went with this Ribollita recipe, also from cooking light. It was ok, but I did make several changes. I didn't have wheat berries, so I used brown rice instead. Jess hates celery like some people hate cilantro, so I doubled the carrots. And I did not have a parmesan cheese rind; just a rindless block of cheese. We both had second bowls, so it was good, but I don't know if it stands out enough to cook again.
Next, I'm going to throw together a stir fry of sorts with some teriyaki "chicken" and vegetables. I'll come back with the specifics and how it turns out.
Yesterday I did 9 miles with Andi (six of them with Katie) and we had a nice time. We got to feel the sun for the first time in weeks. I still have some soreness in my left IT band left over from Sylamore, so I'm hoping that works out before the Little Rock marathon on Sunday. We are meeting at 5am tomorrow for speed work.
