Small Victories

First day of my 29th year....and I spent it feeling like poo and crunching numbers.  Hmmm.  The former is my fault....I thought I was doing a duathlon yesterday, not a tough mudder :-P  The latter....well, whoever schedules finance meetings for 3 hours on a Monday just needs to go away.  Oh wait...that was me.  Crap.
 Well, tomorrow only gets better, right?  On the bright side, i did score some major deals at Tops today on produce-lovely reduced and needs to be eaten ASAP red cabbage, 2 papaya, a cantaloupe, 6 apples, 4 oranges, and shredded carrots.  All for 6 bucks.  That's enough to make me smile...sometimes it's the little things!  So we did a produce-full dinner and dessert in order to chase away the sickies!  First up: Chicken and apple sauteed with red cabbage:
Pretty?  No.  Tasty?  You bet!  I shredded 4 oz chicken and cut up one apple, sauteed it in a teaspoon of canola oil, cinnamon, ginger, and caraway seed, then steamed the red cabbage shreds and added the two together to meld the flavors.  Yum. Tastic.

For a sweet ending, I chopped up one of the papaya's and shared it with the hubster, who is also fighting the sniffles.  One cup of papaya has about 3 times the RDA for Vitamin C, so I think that covers us :-)  Nuh uh, cold, you ain't never gonna catch me!

And that's just me being dumb.  Take it or leave it. They can't all be winners, right?  Happy Monday, friends!
