Baby it's cold outside!

I love the chill of the winter, but not the sickness that comes with it. I've been sick since last week. Nothing big really until Wednesday after the gym I had a very bad sore throat. Then when I woke up it was still there. I thought it might be the cold air and sleeping with the heater on, but after Thursday when I still didn't feel good, I went to the doc to nip it in the bud. It wasn't strep, nor influenza (praise Jesus) but it is a viral infection that turns into mono if not treated! So I stayed home from work on Friday so my antibiotics and steriods can take affect and have been couped up in the house since. I have been cooking alot though, trying my hand at healthy recipes, and got about 9834 loads of laundry washed, folded and put away!  I know, I should've stayed in bed, and I did for the morning, but then got very antsy. Now, I almost can't wait to get out of the house tomorrow, even if it is to go to work. Maybe it's because I've been working out like crazy and have a newfound burst of energy. I've got to get well before we go to New York though so I'm off to go relax.

 Sunday night is my FAVORITE night of t.v. so I'm going to back to cooking and then grade papers in bed while watching my shows. Tonight's menu includes barbeque chicken and rice. It's only 4 ingredients! Easy peasy lemon squeezy :)

1 C. ketchup
1 12 oz can diet coke
4 chicken breasts
2 C. white rice

Did you know when you boil ketchup and diet coke it makes bbq sauce??! Learn something new everyday. You're welcome :)
