I am getting way too into the Olympic Trials.
It’s so fun to see where all the athletes are from all around the United States and watch them perform. Plus, seeing how pumped they are when they make the Olympic team gives me goosebumps!
As I was cooking dinner today, I tuned into reruns of yesterday’s diving trials and loved watching former Orlando resident Brittany Viola kill it on the 10-meter platform. (She went to Lake Highland Prep before heading onto the University of Miami.)
Watching diving on TV is really fun for me because it brings me back to my high school diving days. The sad thing with diving is that it’s so, so hard to keep up with the sport if you’re not on a team because there aren’t that many pools with diving boards around anymore (even in Florida). Plus, I’d feel like a total tool practicing dives at a local pool. Even though I wasn’t a fantastic diver, I miss the sport a lot!
Dinner
Back to dinner!
I frequently plan my meals around one ingredient. Today that ingredient was chickpeas!
I ended up making a delicious curry dish featuring the following:
- Chicken breasts
- Chickpeas
- Broccoli
- Onion
- Curry powder
- Dried ginger
- Garlic Gold oil
- Salt
- Pepper
I started by sautéing the onion in the Garlic Gold oil before adding the rest of the ingredients and letting everything cook on a medium-low heat for a while.
The combination of flavors was fantastic! I wish I had a red pepper to throw in there, but it was still quite satisfying.
Bachelorette tonight!
Question of the Evening
- Did you play a sport in high school? Do you keep up with it today?

Your dinner looks great! I’ve never had curry before. I’ve always wondered what it tastes like.
I miss watching you dive too! We should check out the North Shore pool! I’ll go with you and take pictures! Ha. Like the old days. Love you! xo Mama
hahaha! yes! 🙂 i feel like i might freak out now!
I played basketball and volleyball in high school. Other than shooting baskets in the driveway with my daughter, I definitely do not keep up with either of them!
I was a cheerleader in high school (the competitive kind, we traveled all over) and I miss it ALL the time. They have adult softball leagues, why not adult cheer leagues? I need to start one! haha
I was a diver in HS and college, too (also from Florida)!! I was super into the trials, as well, and cannot wait to watch the olympics!! My fiance and I sort of planned our wedding around being back from our honeymoon in time to not miss them 🙂
