Thanks to everyone who offered to play Words with Friends! Right now I have games going on with blog reader Carol and Debbi (check out her baked salsa rice with green chiles, lime and cilantro – yum!). However, they found me and I have no idea how to “find” you when you gave me your player name – so can you help me figure that out?
So I had the last of my zucchini quiche, but the American cheese layer was so hard to cut into that I ended up just chopping it up and warming it up that way – while it doesn’t look that pretty, the taste was good!
Don’t you love my photography skills of capturing the plastic knife and leaving the paper towel on the side? I don’t know how I didn’t become a food stylist.
I had errands to run at lunch yesterday – shopping for my works Friday barbecue. I am making grilled steak fajitas with grilled onions (how nice am I?!!) grilled peppers, homemade refried beans, cilantro lime rice, homemade tortilla chips and two salsas – it’s a new marinade for me with the steak, so I’ll post the recipe tomorrow if it works out. Tony was nice enough to give me the number of Jimmy John’s in case it sucks.
I had plans to hit up a Mediterranean restaurant that was near the grocery store I was going to. I totally had a taste for falafel and hummus. Sadly, the restaurant was out of business so it was on to Plan B. Next door was a restaurant called “Chubby’s.” Um, pretty sure it was restaurants like that, that made me Chubby!
I did good though – I got the Grecian chicken on a pita – asked them not to grill the pita (they usually grill it in oil or butter) and had the tzatziki sauce and dressing on the side. I threw out the dressing altogether – it was mostly oil with a little bit of seasonings. I used about 2 tablespoons of the tzatziki, or half the container in this picture.
I had burgers on the menu until Tony told me that he went out to lunch with a co-worker and had a burger. So I switched it up and made Salisbury steak. I love this dinner – it literally comes together in about 20 minutes. I ended up giving 1/4 of this plate to our dog – does he live the life or what?
Guess what? I even ate a few mushrooms and liked them!
Okay, so I just got into Pinterest yesterday, and I am already addicted! Holy shizz. So many recipes, craft ideas – I can already see what a time suck it’s going to be!
Check out what I found – tons of work out videos for free – including 30 Day Shred and Insanity!!
And check out how to make Sharpie coffee mugs – so cute!
Hannah is in town today to babysit for one of her regular families so we are having dinner out tonight – not sure where we’ll go but I can’t wait to see her face!
And now another poster I found on Pinterest – although I woke up late today – but my goal was 4 times at the gym this week and I still have the weekend – only one more trip and I’ll hit my goal!
Happy Friday – make it a great day!
I find that if I get up and put on my shoes [sneakers] at the start of my day I get a lot more done. Not slippers or flip flops, but real shoes. That way when I come downstairs I am already to step out the door to walk the dog, get the mail, water the plants, take a walk or go over to the gym [walking]. I know you work during the week, but this would be good to do on the weekends. It really works too.
That’s a great tip Skippy! Of course I write that as its 9:45 on a Saturday morning and I am still in my p.j.s! 😀
Love Pinterest, not as obsessed as I use to be though!
Glad Tony has your back, haha! 🙂 Bet your lunch turned out great!
It’s been raining here ALL day! So no BBQ tonight. 🙁
Nothing wrong with plastic knives! You are confirming my fear of Pinterest. I am not on yet but I’m scared! I love how flexible you can be about dinner. I find that hard (but maybe it’s because I don’t meal plan so a simple swap can be tricky! I’d like to but just can’t make it happen (yet)!
I so know what you mean about Pinterest being a time suck. Fun!!! Have a great Friday Vat.
Welcome to Pinterest!! Oh my gosh, it really is soo addicting!
I spend way too much time on there! !
Have a fabulous weekend, Biz! 🙂
Pinterest is sooo addicting. Your greek chicken looks so good — I love greek food! I think it is the feta though 🙂 Have a great day!
I agree – I love the saltiness of feta, but seriously I don’t think there is a cheese I don’t like. 😀
Your food stylist comment had me laughing! I often have dog treats in the background of my pics, so don’t feel bad…lol! The salisbury steak looks yummo. Yep, I figured you’d get hooked on Pinterest. It’s good though, when you want to make something different you just look through your food pins 🙂 Have a great weekend Biz!
Well no surprise but my food board on Pinterest is my largest. I found it to be a time suck at first but not so much any more. I agree that you have to be careful who to follow otherwise you can’t keep up with all the pins plus what you want to pin.
Just Do It. I believe that’s another inspirational quote from Nike…
I pinned the sharpie mugs the other day – I think they’re awesome!
I’ve been addicted to Pinterest for far too long! haha
I love Pinterest too but haven’t been there lately. I’ll try to look you up when I’m online.
Words with Friends is called Wordfeud in Holland and everybody with an Android and Iphone was playing it a couple of months ago. Of course my stupid blackberry didn’t have the app 🙂 but on the other hand I was happy I couldn’t get addicted to it.
Hope you’ll have a great barbecue today.
That poster is dead on! Love Pinterest for all the fun, inspiring things…and there’s a little bit of whack going on, as well.
I think there’s a little bit of whack every where. 😀
Mmmm, that Salisbury Steak looks amazing – love all that gravy!

Thanks Keli! You are dominating me!
Couldn’t agree more with that poster! Perfection. Your food would never suck- toss that number for JJ away! They do have awesome bread and pickles though 😉
Yes Pinterest is addicting. I have to choose who to follow carefully so I don’t fill up my page!
