Side Dish

I am officially out of the Joseph’s pita bread.  But I do have lavash, and am thinking of making a giant pizza out of it tonight with the pasta sauce that I made last night.  Have you guys tried using lavash for pizza?  Just wondering how it holds up, or if it’s a knife and fork kind of pizza? We have a downstairs fridge that...

I know a lot of people would be upset at temps in the low 60s in the middle of June, but that is my favorite temperature.  Just cool enough to need a light jacket, but you aren’t sweating balls walking to work.  I really wished I could have worked outside yesterday!  Oh, but wait, when I did that, I worked farmers markets and had to...

I don’t know what made me think to walk to the train station from my house.  To tell you the truth, I didn’t really know exactly how far it was from my house to the train station.  I am kind of glad that I didn’t look it up because it was 2.6 miles one way, and I may have had second thoughts had I known...

I spent ten minutes yesterday on the train planning my day – journaling always keeps me focused, and if I steer away from it, my healthy vision starts to get blurry. I had another picky plate for breakfast.  Hard boiled egg (2), deli ham (2) and 3/4 ounce Cabot cheese (3) and fruit. My sister is out of the office the rest of this week,...

I made another batch of my one point fruit sauce over the weekend.  I am lucky that Hannah goes in spurts of making fruit smoothies, and I have about five bags of frozen bags to choose from at any given time.  It made me think of all the things I’ve taken for granted while she has been living with me these last two years.  First...

We made it through Monday – whew!  It was fun reading all the comments about the creamed spinach – I think it was 25% delicious and 75% baby barf 😀 The winner of the Weight Watchers journal is . . . Emily “I love creamed spinach, haven’t had it in ages though. That is a beautiful picture of you and your mom!” Congrats Emily – send...

I get strange looks when I walk down the hall of my office carrying a stemless wine glass.   I should just throw a box of wine in the office refrigerator to really get them talking!  It’s the perfect size for my parfait.  Hannah actually had bought Great Value (Walmart) brand Greek yogurt and it was delicious!  It wasn’t until just now when I looked to...

What an amazing weather weekend we had!  Not only was the weekend gorgeous, but this was the first full weekend I’ve had off in the longest time – I think since last May?!  I worked the weekends at the farmers markets over the summer, then at The Chopping Block on the weekends.  One of the first things I did was call my Mom up and...

I was so happy to see the sun again yesterday morning, but it was deceiving because it was really cold.  It was 26 when I left, but with the windchill it felt like 18 – me no likey.  But, one day closer to spring weather, so I am hanging my hat on that. My main boss was out yesterday so I was really looking forward...

UPDATE:  This post was updated January 3, 2024 to include the recipe card for this cauliflower mac n cheese.  A great way to hide veggies! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I always hit my snooze at least once.  Although I used to be a complete night owl, that’s turned around the older I’ve gotten.  I don’t know what flips that switch?  Hannah and Jacob can work from 5:00 to...
