Well, this technically can’t be a throw down, because one pizza is thin (mine!) and one is  a deep dish (Tony’s).  I made the Artisan in 5 minutes dough this morning before work, so my dough was ready by the time I got home from work.  I actually thought Tony would use some of the dough since it makes so much, but alas, he made his...

The sign at the restaurant said “check out our chipotle sliders!”  Me, the lover of all things spicy, ordered it, thinking I’d have a couple cute little burgers.  I had every intention of upgrading my side to a salad for just a dollar more, but when she asked for my side “I’ll have the tater tots” spilled out of my mouth! Are you ready to...

So happy today is Friday because not only is it gorgeous outside, we get to wear jeans to work during the summer months – nice! It’s the end of the week, my beloved baby spinach is all gone, so is my zucchini, but then I saw that I had some broccoli slaw so I decided to add that to my egg to bulk it up!...

Mmmmmm.  I am still licking my lips from dinner!  When Tony was at the store, by our local grocery stores meat counter, they have proscuitto ends, and once he saw that, he knew he would base the pasta sauce around that.  This particular grocery store (if I have any regular readers)  also offers the $1 rack – Tony bought a bunch of red peppers!  So...

This afternoon ended up being busier than I thought, but my lunch was a repeat of yesterday – I actually think it tasted better than yesterday too!   Love the texture the quinoa gives to the dish! I am informed that my husband Tony will be making dinner tonight!   While I am a recipe cook, Tony is a fly by the seat of your pants cook...

I had just a bit of asparagus and crab, really not enough to do much with, so I decided to make a crustless quiche in my small cast iron skillet. Crab and Asparagus Quiche 1.4 ounces asparagus 2.75 ounces crab 1.35 ounces real bacon bits .85 chopped baby spinach 2 ounces cheddar cheese 1.5 cups liquid egg  whites (I am all out now! 🙁 )...

I like busy work days.  I seem to be able to focus really well under pressure, so I usually don’t mind being in the weeds!  So I guess I’ll begin with breakfast!  Egg White Bake with Spinach, Potato and Feta Cheese 3.5 ounce cooked potato, sliced thin 1/2 cup liquid egg whites handful of baby spinach 1 ounce tomato basil feta cheese I sprayed my...

If you have ever worked in a restaurant, you know what the term “in the weeds” means.  It means you can’t keep up with your tables, you are taking an order at one table, when you know that food is up in the kitchen for another table, and your busboy is outside smoking a cigarette right when you need him! So although I work in...

I stopped by the store on my way home and as luck would have it, they had a 1.5 pound bone-in ribeye in the 50% clearance bin AND any meat you can put in a brown paper bag, you got an additional 20% off!! I got the steak for $4.85!!  It was delicious too! The crab meat I got from Fresh Market when I went...
