According to the award rules, I am to list seven facts about myself and then pass it on to 15 new blogger friends. Well, let's see how I do on the facts first:
1. My best days tend to start with a great workout. (Today is looking pretty promising)
2. I love to eat a healthy diet - 90% of the time. During the other 10%, I love to indulge in really good chocolate, ice cream, and other delicious treats! I think it's necessary for me to enjoy life!
3. I've recently found that I really enjoy spending time in the kitchen to cook tasty (I wouldn't say, delicious, yet) and healthy meals.
4. I truly believe Northern Michigan is one of the most beautiful places in the world and have been known to tear up a little when I hear Jeff Daniels voice over on the Pure Michigan commercials.
5. I am the third generation of Michigan State University alumna in my family. (Both sides are filled with Spartans).
6. My husband and I were married on Michigan State's campus on June 9th, 2007. Our reception was in Spartan Stadium.
Speaking of my new found cooking talents... I've been cooking quite a bit lately. Trying out new recipes from the Cooking Light cookbook I purchased a few weeks ago, and also just trying new things. We didn't have plans yesterday for a picnic or cookout, but I thought I'd treat Woody to a cookout-esque dinner anyway! This was my plate:
An all white meat turkey burger with diced red, green and orange peppers, onion, and a mix of ground pepper, chipotle and ground cumin. There are black beans with onion and fresh ground pepper, a broccoli slaw with added orange pepper and a light dressing of EVOO and fresh lemon juice and a few sweet potato chips. The burger was really moist, and I liked the combination of spices. The two things I'd change (and Woody agreed): more dressing on the slaw and I still have to work out the timing on the chips. I think the temp needed to be lower. Overall though, it was really good and a great Memorial Day dinner.
If you haven't yet received the "Versatile Blogger" award, consider yourself honored! Please tell us 7 facts about yourself and enjoy the first day of June!

My wife uses Cooking Light all the time. We have a brocolli slaw similar to that about once per week. We're hooked!
