Day Two hundred and twenty-four

Dinner: Whole grain baked ziti with ground chicken, steamed spinach, pineapple, and french bread (leftover from yesterday). This was one of those meals where I actually kissed myself (no matter how strange that sounds). Quite a while back, I'd made an extra baked ziti and froze it for a rainy day. This meal was actually on a rainy day (ha) and I was sick with something flu-like, so a homemade meal without anything other than popping it into the oven was SO welcomed. Kudos to my husband for heating it, putting dinner on a plate, and taking the photo!!
