Haricots Verts with Poached Egg and Ginger Dressing

Oh man.  I got my butt kicked.  I have been spinning for three years but the class I took today totally wiped me out.  It was the most challenging and difficult hour on a bike.  It was even harder than the first spin class I ever took.  I loved it.

I’m going to be sore.  I’m going to be immobile tomorrow.  I can already feel it.

Every great work out cannot be followed up with an “excused feast.”  Unlike budgets, a deficit in calories is something you shouldn’t balance out.  I enjoy the sweat and the feeling of accomplishment after a good work out.  I don’t need to treat myself with a cookie afterwards; that’s what weekends are for.  Moderation is key.  That’s what I stick to.

While I could make some buttermilk fried chicken for dinner, I’ve decided to go healthy with this dish.  I used my favorite salad dressing to flavor the haricots verts.  I love Makoto’s Ginger Salad Dressing.  (Note: I am not getting compensated for this post.  I just really love their products.)  I am so happy that many more markets are selling this dressing.  I love the balance of ginger, garlic and onions.  It adds an addicting punch that will make you love your vegetables.  The runny poached egg doesn’t hurt either.

I think I’ll stick to yoga tomorrow morning.
