I also made Mexican Rice to go with the chicken but I found the recipe boring and a bit bland so I'm not sharing it. I made a green salad to go with the meal.

Breakfast this morning was peanut butter on toast with pineapple. 

After camp drop offs, I went to a Barre class at the gym. It was nice change of pace. I think I will be sore tomorrow!

Lunch was my usual tuna salad with veggies and ranch.
