After work I met up with a friend to get a mani/pedi and told my boyfriend he was in charge of dinner since I wouldn’t be back early enough to cook. With all hopes of attempting to eat “light” this week I arrived home to find an XL box of sausage and pepperoni pizza to my horror.
At first I was a little surprised since this is our typical Friday night behavior but considering the Blackhawks were about to play, I should have known. Then I had this mischievous feeling like I was little again eating something cool like McDonald’s on a school night! Surely you all know what I’m talking about. After ruling out a healthy dinner I quickly pulled out my girl math, again, you know what I’m talking about. I needed some greens…a nice salad to cancel out my greasy, deliciously cheesy, and meaty pizza. I had a little leftover edamame salad from Whole Foods with fennel, artichokes, and dill so I added that to a bowl of baby spinach and added shredded carrots, grape tomatoes, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt and pepper. It was so delicious I was actually sad I didn’t have more!
Salad+Pizza=balanced meal. That’s girl math and I swear by it!
