Happy Snow Day! I have had quite a non productive day. I did get up with Danny because his alarm went off and I couldn’t fall back asleep. We weren’t sure how the trains were going to be running, since he had to go to work, so I decided I would leave with him so he could clean off my car for me so I could drive him to the farther subway and go to the gym. It really wasn’t that bad out this morning, but in the 50 minutes I was at the gym my car was 2x as bad as before. I came home and did a mini yoga sesh to stretch out because my back was bothering me a little bit.
Some random food throughout the day…
Monday night I made a new dinner based on the Rachael Ray Top 10 cookbook, Smoky Chicken Corn Chowder. It was intended to be more of a soup, but I used less chicken stock so it would go over pasta/rice. I kicked it up a notch and added some spice. At first I thought it was too spicy, but I ate it with some Mary’s Gone Crackers and some ezekial pasta which took the kick away a little bit.

1- 10 ounce box frozen corn cornels
