FITNESS, RECIPE, AND TOPS

It has been a busy week for me.  I am not taking measurements until next week because everything is moving around a lot right now.  You know what I am talking about.  To see the past three posts on fitness, visit here, here, and here.

I have lost 3 lbs!  I could have lost more, but as I said earlier, I am on a healthy diet and just don't want to worry about a strict diet while I am adjusting to these strenuous workouts.  I am taking Emily's (Splendid Market) advice and getting a fitbit, which I think will help.  

See you next week.  ENJOY!

I thought this was funny.

Ugh...

but it works!

and... this is SO good!

CHILI-RUBBED FLANK STEAK WITH WATERMELON-JICAMA SALAD

Serves 4

1 1-pound flank steak, trimmed

1 2/2 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 ½ pounds watermelon

cut into ¾-inchpieces (4 cups)

¾ pound jicama, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces (2 cups)

1 shallot, thinly sliced

2 teaspoons finely grated peeled ginger

1 teaspoon lime zest

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1/3 cup fresh cilantro (optional)

¼ cup fresh basil (optional)

Pat steak dry with paper towels .  Sprinkle both sides with chili powder, salt, and pepper.  Drizzle oil over both sides and lightly rub in with fingertips to coat.

Heat the grill to medium high or a grill pan over medium high heat.  (If using a grill, clean and oil grates first.) Grill steak, flipping once 8-10 minutes for medium or until desired degree of doneness.  Transfer steak to  cutting board, lightly tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine watermelon, jicama, shallot, ginger, lime zest and lime juice.

Thinly slice steak across the grain.  Serve with salad; garnish with cilantro and basil if desired.

 I love this steak on a tossed salad too.  Wonderful.
