I am currently watching the Super Bowl. I am currently doing laundry. I am currently working on homework, and I am currently not wanting to do any of it!
I really don’t care who wins, but I have two good reasons to root for San Francisco:
1. I now live in the Bay Area and
2. Ted Ginn Jr. plays for them
I have gotten a lot done today, going to the bank, grocery, returning something at Target this morning, then doing laundry, dishes, cooking a few items for the week, and cleaning this afternoon. I have 12 more homework questions to answer for an online class that I am very unmotivated to take, plus I need to enter in some scores for work, work on my thesis, and continue watching the 6th season of Everybody Loves Raymond, which I have become addicted to.
Anyway, I decided to make a new salad today, and thought I would review it here. It is called Greek Chicken Salad. Here is the recipe:
Serves 4
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar,
divided
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cucumber, cubed
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
Cooking Instructions
1. Marinate chicken in 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper to taste for 1 hour. Grill
over medium heat for 10 minutes per side. Cool and cut into cubes.
2. Combine chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion and feta in a large bowl. In a
small bowl, whisk together thyme, olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and salt and
pepper to taste. Drizzle dressing over salad, and toss to combine.

TOTALLY DELICIOUS! One of the main reasons I made it was because it is very high in protein. I have to tell you, it is great. It is a very summery salad, but the flavors are amazing, and it’s very filling.
I am planning to do an ab workout tonight, then the next 4 days are hard core lifts, runs, and diet. Friday I head back to Ohio, and so I have to be prepared.
I wish you all a happy Super Bowl Sunday, and may the best team win.
