Dinner

It’s funny living in the midwest when you feel that 30 degrees is so warm, but that first day in October or November when we dip into the 30s, we are like “it’s so fricken cold! Why do I live here?”  But have subzero temps, it was a joy to walk to the office in 30 degree weather. I plan on posting my take on...

Skinny Pizza Dough How was Skinny Pizza Dough Created? I first wrote this recipe in December of 2017, after I could not for the life of me get the viral Weight Watchers  “Two Ingredient Dough” to work out for me without having yogurt all over my hands, or having to add a shit ton more flour, which basically defeated the whole purpose! With the addition...

It was my first full day working for three partners, but as luck would have it, one of them didn’t come in – whew!  I think I may need to rethink the idea of eating breakfast at work – it’s just that I am usually not hungry when I wake up and coffee holds me until I eat breakfast.  But I hit the ground running...

I had a feeling yesterday was going to be a busy work day, but it was literally non-stop.  The only reason I had time to put together this quick parfait was because my computer locked up and I had to wait for it to reboot. Chobani yogurt (2), banana, homemade strawberry sauce (1) topped with 1/4 cup of granola (3) with a hard boiled egg...

I am pretty happy with my food this week considering I didn’t grocery shop.  But I have so.much.food at home, it would be silly to shop, even though I love grocery shopping.  Just ask Hannah how she feels about my pantry 😛 The week before last my store had baked potatoes 4/$1 and usually that means you have to eat them up in a couple...

My train was delayed yesterday because of mechanical problems.  It was the first day back for my one boss who’s been on vacation for two weeks, and I thought for sure it was going to be a crazy busy day, so I took the early train.  Well, I got on the platform to catch my train at 7:05 and didn’t sit down to my desk...

I have to laugh at my blog post title today.  My blog friend Tieghan from Half Baked Harvest (well, she probably doesn’t know who I am, but I still consider us friends!) usually has the longest blog title recipe posts, but I think this beats here longest! Before we get to dinner though, let’s start with breakfast, shall we?!  Today was a lower carb day,...

I know that’s a pretty bold statement.  What’s even a more bolder statement is that I tweaked the pizza dough recipe of Nancy Silverton, who basically spent years perfecting her pizza dough.  And do you want to know why I cheated on her recipe?  I was being frugal and used the flour I already had on hand.  While her recipe calls for bread flour and...

The great thing about making waffles over the weekend when you have time is that you can have a quick breakfast during the work week.   I love the sweet/savory combo and made waffle breakfast sammies.  One waffle (4) stuffed with 1/2 cup liquid egg white and baby spinach (1) and 1/2 ounce everything bagel Cabot cheese (2) then drizzled with sugar free pancake syrup (1)....

I am so happy to be eating all this Florida citrus.  The only thing better would be to eat it right off the tree in 80 degree weather!  I have to tell you though, before I started working at The Chopping Block, I think I may have massacred  every piece of grapefruit trying to get all the fruit out – that is until I learned...
