Chicken Pesto Pasta

So I have a few booboos. My hip, my shin, my mouth. I don't know why I am falling apart at the seems. I am only 25 here! But typical Codi ignores everything until its really bad or it goes away. Which in one of these cases screwed me. I knew it would. I know. I already am upset at myself. I had a tooth ache Sunday. It progressively has gotten worse until I couldn't sleep night before last and was crying. THANK GOODNESS that my dentist could see me yesterday to give me stuff to hold me over till next week. I have to get a root canal. UGHH. Sucks big time. I seriously cant think of a time that I have been in more pain then this. It sucks. I couldn't even workout yesterday. I couldn't get off the couch. I didn't want to to laundry, eat (obviously), clean. I didn't even want to frost the mini cakes. So I got my prescription and took a happy pill and then managed to clean up the house made dinner and frosted the cupcakes. I went down to the gym to pawn them off on everyone and took some pictures of everyone getting their wod on.

Justin always has great form

This is serious

Little blurry but looking strong Sean!

Raaawrr!

"oh just kicking our own ass, NBD"

I am not too upset that I missed this wod. I cant climb a rope, never have been able to in my life. But I haven't tried since I was 10. So maybe I could. I'm going to try it. Anyways, it was rope climbs and OH squats. You guys killed it! Way to go! I can't wait to be back at it today. 4:30 class watch out!

I am super sad that Katy is leaving next week. I am going to miss her. She is such an awesome coach. And such a great person! We are going to be poolside tomorrow. I hope the weather permits.

This is Katy, she rocks! Showing us Bergener warmup :)

So I slept awesome last night, Scott tickled my back for a good hour and it put me to sleep while we were watching the Olympics. (surprise!) Woke up in pain, but I am making a surprise for Scott. Well I am sure he knows since we live together. But he's gonna love it. I am making apple chips and drying out some pineapple too! MMMMM....I love pineapple. Its probably my favorite fruit ever. I could eat an entire pineapple in one sitting. Then I would have a sore tongue. That's okay it would be worth it.

I have been craving spaghetti. I love my parents spaghetti. Ahhh man. So good. Homemade sauce at its best at the Pierson residence. I could make some with zook noodles but I have had zook noodles soooo much lately. I really want it with sketti squash, but Scott doesn't love sketti squash so I haven't made it. I just need to make it for lunch, pffft DUH! So for dinner last night we had chicken pesto pasta. It was super yummmmmy! You should try it...:))

Chicken Pesto Pasta

3 cups zook noodles
1 lb chicken
1 1/2 cups fresh basil
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup pistachios
1/2 avocado
2 tbsp minced garlic
salt & pepper

Fire up the grill and cook chicken. Julienne slice your zooks so you have your noodles. (Julienne slicers are the best invention EVER, well that and a food processor)

Check your chicken, cook till done. We did thigh and they took about 15 minutes. Get your food processor out. Combine basil, EVOO, pistachios, avocado, garlic, and salt and pepper until you get a nice creamy consistency. MMM it smells amazing.

In a large saucepan heat up a little EVOO and toss your zook noodles in there. Dice up your cooked chicken and put in with noodles. Lastly add your sauce and incorporate that throughout the noodles and chicken. Cook for a total of about 5 minutes. CONSUME. This is delicious. Trust me.
