The Bachelorette had a great time.  We even were graced with the presence of the token interpretive dancer.

Normal people sleep off a Bachelorette party.  Normal people may go to brunch, eat pancakes, and drink a little hair of the dog mimosa.

I, on the other hand, eat a Zucchini-Banana Muffin, get inspired by fellow-bloggers (thanks, Tina!), and write up a new work out.

I’m a glutton for punishment, my friends.

Killer (read: awesome) work outs get me excited.

New shoes also get me pumped.  Running shoes, heels, flip flops… doesn’t matter.

Here’s the Post-Party Workout:

Round 1:

20 reps of each (except squats)

• Bicep curls
• Tricep skull crushers
• Bench leg lifts
• 30-seconds quick squats

*** Sprint 0.3 miles***

Round 2:

3 sets, 12 reps each

• Bent over barbell row
• Wide grip lat pull-down
• Seated row
• Straight arm lat pull-down

*** Sprint 0.3 miles***

Round 3:

3 sets, 12 reps each

• Alternating dumbbell curls (rotating wrists in as lifting)
• Bicep curls
• Hammer curls (last set until exhaustion)

*** Sprint 0.5 miles***

Round 4:

• Stability ball roll outs (20)
• Stability ball crunches (30)
• Crunches with medicine call (50)
• Alternating lunges with lat raise (20 total)
• Side plank twists (12 on each side)
• Decline crunch (50)
• Side plank with leg lift (1 min each side)

Worth. It.

Party like a rockstar.  Workout like a rockstar.  Eat a well-deserved a rockstar lunch.

Thankfully, 101 Cookbooks just posted an irresistible-looking Quesadilla.

(Side note: everything on 101 Cookbooks is basically brilliant.)

So here’s my version.  With a TON of local ingredients.

It was good.  Real good.

 ________________________________________________________________________________

Qu-egg-sadilla

• 1 T lime zest
• 1/4 C Greek yogurt
• 2 T capers
• Splash of habanero-infused EVOO (regular is fine too!)
• 1 egg
• S+P, to taste
• 1 tortilla
• 1 T pimento cheese
• 1 C fresh spinach

Mix together lime zest and Greek yogurt (Atlanta Farm Fresh is my Greek-style of choice) in a small bowl.  Set aside.

Rinse capers and pan fry them over medium-high heat in a small splash of oil (I used Sweetwater Growers’ habanero-infused) until just wrinkling.  Remove from pan and set aside on paper towel to cool a bit.

Beat the egg a in a small bowl.  Beat the egg with a little water (water makes it more fluffy than milk!) and S+P, to taste.

Spread pimento cheese (I used my new fav American Gra-frutti) on tortilla.

Add a splash of EVOO to small skillet, heating over medium heat.  Add egg mixture to skillet.  Do not touch until bottom sets, ~20-25 secs.  Top the eggs with spinach, then place tortilla (I used a Rudi’s spelt tortilla) on top of egg and spinach.  The top of the egg will still be a bit runny, so it should attach itself to the tortilla/spinach as it sets.  

Wait another 20-25 secs (until egg has set enough not to run), and flip.  Fold tortilla in half, and cook each side a bit longer until outside of tortilla is nicely browned.

Place tortilla on a plate, top with yogurt mixture, capers, and freshly ground pepper.
