New Recipe

I used yesterday as one of my days off from exercising and went shopping after work. I walked for about 4 hours shopping so I guess that counts as something. I went to Costco and stocked up on healthy foods. I'm so proud of myself that I didn't buy any junk or eat any samples.

A woman at work gave me a recipe for Mediterranean Layer Dip. I made it last night and it was delicious! I didn't go by the measurements of the recipe, as it was quite complicated so I just did it on my own. Here is the jist of it, if you're interested.

Spread a container of store-bought hummus in a medium-sized shallow serving dish ( I used roasted red pepper hummus), top with feta cheese crumbles (enough to cover) add a layer of chopped fresh spinach (enough to cover). In a seperate bowl add the following: chopped fresh ripe tomatoes (seeded), chopped cucumber (seeded), chopped green and katamala olives, chopped roasted red pepper, juice from half a lemon, salt and pepper, a few crushed red pepper flakes. Mix and add to top of spinach. Top with chopped green onion. Serve with toasted warm pita chips.

I don't have the nutritional info since I just threw it together, I just guestimated. I mainly went by the nutritional info on the hummus container. If you like mediterranean dishes, this is FABULOUS! I have to watch I don't eat too much since the hummus is fattening.

That's about it for me, the weather is very cold here now so I guess I'm exercising inside this evening. Have a great, long weekend (off Monday for MLK day)! YAY!
