By the time I got home and ready for my run, it started to sprinkle. "That's okay", I thought. I have run in the rain before. It started to get really dark as I set my garmin forerunner up for my workout. I began with a 5 minute warm up. When the warm-up was over, I looked at my watch to see "1 mile run" as the first interval. That was not what I signed up for; I can't even run a full mile! By this time it started to down pour and I was stopped. I was hungry, wet and frustrated. I choose the wrong work out and I was stopped there, in the pouring rain, trying to see my garmin screen in the dark. (It does have a backlight, I was just really frustrated at the time and didn't think to use it.) So, after a minute of getting my garmin set to the correct workout (2 min. run, 3 min. walk intervals) the rain just started coming down in sheets and I felt defeated. I was a minute and a half in to my run when I stopped. This was turning out to be an awful, no good, very bad run. I decided to call it quits, go home and make dinner.
Not all running days are good ones, but the good ones make it worth it. So I am going to try again when the weather gets better!
After my "run", I decided to jump right in to trying a new recipe for dinner.
Impossibly Easy Mini Cheeseburger Pie |
Ingredients:
Ground Beef Mixture:
1 lb. ground beef
1 large onion chopped
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Baking Mixture:
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup pancake mix
1 egg
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Spray 12 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
Cook beef and onion over medium-high head 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Cool 5 minutes; stir in worchestershire sauce, garlic salt and cheese.
In a medium bowl, stir baking mixture ingredients with whisk or for until blended. Spoon 1 scant tbsp baking mixture into each muffin cup. Top with about 1/4 cup burger mixture. Spoon 1 tbsp baking mixture onto burger mixture in each muffin cup.
Bake for about 30 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. Serve with garnish of ketchup, diced tomatoes and/or mustard.
Since I still have an outstanding goal to complete three more video blogs recipes before I turn 25 on Monday, I decided to feature this new recipe in a video blog!
As you can see, this recipe is super simple. I was really thrilled with the outcome and even more happy that I only have two more video blog recipes to go!
What did you have for dinner last night?
Hey Kay! Just wondering what Garmin model you have & how you like it? Besides last night if course ;-) I'm looking into one as my fitness reward for myself after Q1.
ReplyDeleteHi Conda! I really love the Forerunner 410! Since the weather has been less than lovely here, I haven't dived completely in to all of the features it has to offer, but I hope to do a review on the product some day! So far, I am loving it! Here's a blog from my first run with the garmin:
