with my breakfast again! I give you the last installment of zucchini pita pizza! I actually almost overcooked it – I assembled it at work, but it in our toaster convection oven and then went to check messages and email. All of a sudden I was like “my pizza!” I ran to the kitchen and saved it just in time – this crust was extra crunchy and delicious!
I had been having a craving for a spicy wonton soup. I was looking around my pantry, and made a delicious broth of light coconut milk, chicken broth, sriracha and crushed red pepper. It was so delicious – just the right amount of flavorful heat. My idea was to put my shrimp wontons together at work and then have them cook in the broth I made.
Except on my way to work, 3/4 of my broth spilled out into my lunch bag. Fudgemonkeys! So on my way to my lunch workout, there is a Walgreen’s next door and I picked up another can of chicken broth. So while it missed some of the coconut flavor, my spice pantry at work saved the day.
I made six wontons – the filling is a mixture of 3 ounces cooked shrimp, diced, fresh basil, garlic and a bit of spicy szechwan sauce.
And while this doesn’t look that appetizing, I assure you I could not stop eating this!
Dinner was quick and easy. I just made grilled chicken cordon bleu patty melts.
I had pepper jack cheese on mine – I ate half my sandwich and 1 ounce of jalapeno potato chips (or what I like to call crack chips!)
And Tony made peach ice cream! It is such a simple machine to use, we need to start using it more often.
If you haven’t already checked these out, they are definitely worth it!
New blog to me: Go Pop Go! He had he funniest post to his daughters about how not to use the internez – it had me laughing out loud!
Cooking Fanatic made her own homemade ancho chile sauce! Definitely on my list of things to make.
The Manhattan Food Project made a delicious looking soup called sopa catalana . . .luckily I can eat soup even if its 90 degrees outside!
And check out Kevin from Closet Cookings take on chile rellenos – my mouth waters just looking at that dish!
Don’t forget to submit your BSI recipe – ground turkey! I am making a version of a Turkish dish that I saw Amanda’s sister make called Boregi – in my head it turns out amazing 😀
I am off of work today! After I hit publish its AM yoga, abs, and then a bike ride before meeting my Mom at Goodwill. Hannah gets off of work at 11:45 and then the three of us are headed up to Lake Geneva for the day – there were so many cute shops I wanted to stop at when we were there for my MIL’s renuion, but didn’t have time then.
I’ll be unplugged all day – I’ll catch up with you tomorrow!

That chicken sandwich looks AMAZING!!! hehe I love a toaster oven – heart that you make these at work. Are your co-workers crazy jealous?!

Wow. Your pita pizza looks amazing. If I didn’t have a Chick-Fil-A sandwich for breakfast, I would’ve been dying for lunch.
My mom was diagnosed with diabetes a few years back, so I’m really excited to learn about different recipes that work for you.
