The Best Thing About Matthew Being Away......

Ok, so, NO, I do not have a long list of perks to my bff being gone!
But, we're supposed to find the silver lining (blessing), right?
The Staff Academy course has revived the motivated Marine in my husband!
He is excited, more than ever, about his job and making the Corps proud!
He wants his body to be in great shape. 
He even went running barefoot one weekend while he was home, because he left
his running shoes at school!
For the first time since we have been married, he is all about salads, ALL the time!
He is willing to eat other foods, as well, but he eats a large salad, loaded with
veggies and dark leaves, and spritzed with super low-cal ranch spray, EVERY DAY!
He has been eating healthy at his other meals, as well, opting for fresh fruit,
and he's been drinking A LOT of water!
I'm loving the healthy eater in him!
His healthy mentality is helping me stay on track and ignore most of my
REALLY bad cravings!

He'll be home tomorrow evening, but only for one night, as he'll need to get
back to academy for duty on Sunday.  I've been trying to plan out what I want
to make for dinner.  I stumbled upon this recipe and I'm in love!

I need to pick up ingredients tomorrow!
I CAN NOT WAIT TO SINK MY TEETH INTO THIS!!!!!

It was AMAZING! I doubled up on the sauce, and dipped broccoli into it the following day. Also, since there was extra basil, tomato, and cheese (I used a soft brick of mozzerella), I made bruschetta! YUM! I will DEFNITELY be making this again, and I'm on the lookout for more ways I can get that sauce into my mouth. YUM!
