Dinner

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...

Mongolian Beef UPDATE:  This Mongolian beef recipe needed an upgrade because I had no recipe card, no Weight Watchers points or calories or macros.  I am so sad it’s taken me over nine years to make this again!  I decided to leave the rest of the post as written in 2016, with updated photography and recipe card.  Be sure to follow for more Weight Watchers...

Long time readers will kind of laugh at the title of this blog post because every time I try a new pizza dough recipe, I declare it the best I’ve ever had!  I really have no idea where my love affair with pizza came from, because we didn’t eat it all that often growing up.  Maybe because it was such a treat and not a...

I don’t even know who won the election. I stayed up with the kadults until nearly midnight, but finally had to call it a night and go to bed.  I only looked at my phone to turn off my alarm this morning, so I’ll wait a while longer to see who won.  Ignorance is bliss, right? It only took me 5 minutes to vote.  I...

I had to laugh when I was waiting for the train yesterday to go to work.  It’s the middle of October, leaves are starting to change yet the weather was around 76 degrees.  I saw some women in sundresses and flip flops, while others had already made the fashion fall turn and were wearing UGG boots, sweaters and scarves. I ate a banana on my...

This is going to be a very disjointed post, so just be prepared I am blogging late because I slept in until the last dog was hung before having to get my ass out of bed to Weight Watchers, which I haven’t been to in the last three weeks.  My eats and schedule have been all over the map, and I am realizing that I...
