Crock Pot Banh Mi Bowls are a healthy and simple recipe that comes out of your slow cooker and is filled with all the great flavors and textures of a Banh Mi Sandwich. Instead of the tranditional sandwich on a crusty piece of bread, we are adding in some rice, tossing it in a slow cooker and topping it with lightly pickled vegetables and sriracha mayo with Greek yogurt. All of the flavors and texture come together beautifully for a delicious dinner idea.
Last night we played our final games of the season for the recreational volleyball league we participate in each winter. I only joined the team a couple of years ago and by no means a great volleyball player, but these ladies have a lot of fun with it and we do alright. In the past we have always taken second place at the tournament and apparently that tradition goes many years back even before my time.
We did what we always do and lost the second game of the tournament last week which put us in the looser’s bracket. So last night we were bound and determined to fight our way back to the championship game. We expected nothing more than second place at the championship game, but we wanted to be there none the less!
We made it to the championship game and to all of our surprise, we ended up winning the whole tournament! YAY! By the last match of the fourth game that evening we were all running on some seriously low energy. We managed to pull it out thankfully so we didn’t have to play yet another match. Four hours of volleyball later, we were champions…and we were TIRED! We barely managed to huddle together for a quick team picture and we were all out of there to get home to our nice hot showers and soft comfortable beds.
When did we all become so old and out of shape?! Well I guess I should just speak for myself, but I remember as a teen playing hours and hours of basketball, softball, etc in the hot summer sun without it even phasing me. Now, as an adult, recreational volleyball in a gym has done me in. Getting old sucks and apparently I really need to hit the cardio harder at the gym!
