I know I’ve said this before, but I honestly believe that macaroni and cheese tastes better when the macaroni is shaped like bunnies.
It’s not that I like eating bunnies…Did I really just suggest that? It’s more that bunny-shaped pasta is just the perfect vehicle for transporting cheese sauce, and of course we all know that the cheese sauce is the most important part.
Macaroni and cheese is especially delicious when you’ve just gotten home from the gym and it’s sitting on the stove waiting for you.
Jeff made this glorious dinner of Tofurky hot dogs, Alexia beer-battered onion rings, and Annie’s Mac&Peas last night. It was delicious, as always.
In other news, everyone in my office is sick. It started at the holiday party last week and I’ve been doing everything I can think of to keep from getting sick, too: Chugging orange juice, eating well, exercising, sleeping enough, using hand sanitizer like its my job. Despite these efforts, I was feeling a little blah this morning as I headed to the gym. After my strength workout, I gulped down one of these guys:
I’m not making any claims yet, but now I feel completely back to normal.
Note: the kind people at Cheribundi reached out to me about a month ago to ask if I’d like to try their cherry juice. I had been seeking advice on Twitter about how to fight muscle soreness after strength training. More on this next week when I’ll post a full review and GIVEAWAY! Stay tuned!
Feeling better might also have had something to do with the awesome salad I had for lunch today:
In the mix:
- Mixed greens
- Beets
- Carrots
- Black olives
- Chick peas
- Tomatoes
- Red onions
- Walnuts
- Balsamic Vinaigrette on the side
I ordered this delicious salad from Devon & Blakely and will definitely be making it a repeat order.
Speaking of delicious things, I’m currently in Starbucks sipping vanilla rooibos tea, and it’s probably the best thing I’ve tasted all day…aside from the cherry juice and salad, of course. 
This weekend, Jeff and I are heading to Charlotte, NC to visit his mother and celebrate Christmas a little early since we’ll be in NY next weekend. So excited. Going to keep chugging cherry juice and tea to keep this bug away!
What do you do to keep from getting sick when everyone around you is?
Have a great Thursday!
Everyone is sick in our office too! and it was right after the holiday party too! Crazy! Ian is still sick… i’m trying to steer clear of it.
yay NY!
also, Bunnies and Peas looks yummy.
I love that Annie’s Mac and Cheese! When everyone around me is getting sick I load up on “Anti-Cold” pills from the health food store (potent echinecea – sp?) and juice fruits and veggies.
