Did you guys know that my skinny pizza dough makes great Chicago style deep dish pizza?   I could have sworn I had leftover pizza dough in my fridge, but for the life of me couldn’t find it. When I asked Hannah if she had seen it, she said “look in the leftover bin!”  Yes, there is a rectangle tray in our fridge dedicated to leftovers. ...

All hail delicata squash!  Since I stocked up on delicata (I am no almost out again!), much like when I went apple picking and made all things apple, this time I am trying to think of different says to use up the delicata squash – not that I don’t love my #delirings, because I do.  I could have those as a side dish every night...

Pan Seared Chuck Roast with Onion Rings You will love this pan seared chuck roast with onion rings. Yes, you read that correctly, I made onion rings!       “Biz, you can’t make a chuck roast on a weeknight right when you get home!”  But I am here to tell you that yes, yes you can!  A chuck roast can go by many names...

I made it the whole week without doing a full grocery shop – whoop!  I think I spent about $5 on fruit (not counting the farmers market yesterday) but that’s about it.  It really makes you use up the food you already have, and I think I could easily go another week without shopping.  But that’s silly talk.  I’ve been gone the last two weekends,...

This grilled pizza needs to be in your life! *********************** I’ve been tracking like a boss this week and guess what?  It’s not been that hard.  When I take the time to put my food together and bring it with me, I am much better at eating what I brought, then if I tell myself “I’ll just pick up something healthy when I get downtown.” ...

Another busy Monday is in the books.  I knew it was going to be steady busy, so I was mentally prepared for it.  Even though I would have rather hung out with my brother and his family before they left last night.  Such is life! I made this quick picky plate for breakfast.  Hannah and Jacob bought cantaloupe last week and hadn’t cut it yet...

The best part about making waffles is that you can have breakfast for days.  I made another waffle breakfast sammie yesterday.  1/2 of my Bolthouse Farms Protein Waffle (3) an egg, spinach, ham (1) 1/2 once of cheese (2) sugar free pancake syrup (1) and tangerines for dessert.   We finally had a nice day in Chicago yesterday!  When Jenn and I went on our walk...

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...

This past weekend was the second weekend I’ve had off, but the first one where I had no plans at all.  And it was perfect.  The weather was back to winter, it was cold, overcast on Saturday and super windy on Sunday.  The kadults worked all day Saturday and Sunday so I had the house to myself. I was up at 7:00 a.m. both Saturday...

Best Buffalo Chicken Chili This is the best buffalo chicken chili you’ll ever need. The fall after I originally posted this recipe, I started getting emails from people who said they made this chili and it won their office chili cook-off, block party cook-off – as the months and years went by, I was thrilled that this recipe helped win so many contests! Well, at...
