Today’s Run:  Rest Day

Today was a day of new recipes.  As I have mentioned before, we follow a diabetic diet and are always on the lookout for new ideas.  Well, my Mom bought me a magazine from the grocery store that is all recipes and today was the day to try a few.

Lunch:  Asia Pork Loin Roast.  Group decision:  Yummy!  The only drawback to this recipe is that you cannot make it on a lark~you have to plan ahead because of the marinade time~minimum of 8hrs!  It is easy to do, you just have to plan ahead.

Dinner:  Balsamic Roast Chicken.  Group decision: Average. This is a throw it in the oven and forget about it recipe.  You make a rub and put it under the skin of the chicken.  Combine 1/2 C Balsamic Vinegar and 1/2 C red wine and bake for 2 1/2 hrs.  Easy, easy, easy.  But the pork loin roast was better.

We will try one more new recipe tomorrow and then go back to a few favorites.  Cannot shock those taste buds too much!  Here is a pic of the Balsamic Roast Chicken.  It really did taste better than it looked.
