Side Dish

  I have received several comments telling me that I should stop worrying about my weight, and if I am happy with my life, why don’t I just focus on the positives.  Which I do, but I know I will feel better at least 25 pounds less – then I can happily maintain that weight. Since being back “on” Tuesday, I didn’t know what my...

Good morning!  The blog might look a bit different today, because I’ve changed the theme and over the next few weeks, it might look a bit every.single.day.  But I was looking for a cleaner look, and organized a bit better, so bear with me through this blog renovation. 😀 Over the weekend I made a batch of naan bread.  If you’ve never tried a yeast...

There are a couple things you can never get too many pictures of – for me its sunrises and sunsets!  Oh, and clouds.  And babies.  Well, and food. 😀 I haven’t had Joseph’s brand pitas in while, and since Hannah and I went to Walmart on Saturday and spent nearly three hours because we walked down every.single.aisle. I had kind of forgotten about them, but...

I will always take cold weather and sunny skies over snow days and 35 degrees.  Although yesterday with the windchill, it felt like 2 degrees.  Let’s just say I don’t mind those temps if I am at home, on my comfy sofa with the dogs and a fire going in the wood burning stove.  I plan on making a batch of the skinny bagels over...

I am so excited for my 5k tomorrow.  I used my new Weight Watchers bag yesterday – not sure if its a lunch bag or not, but that’s what I am using it for.   My original goal was to raise $100, and I am shocked that I am almost to $300!  Huge thank you to my Aunt Cele, my Mom, Carrie, Lynne, my MIL...

I have a tiny confession to make.  I didn’t really didn’t care about the eclipse.  My brother?  He drove hundreds of miles and I am glad it was everything he expected, and I can’t wait to read his recap about it when he blogs about it. I’ll be sure to link his blog post here if you aren’t following him when he does. I wasn’t...

This weekend was the perfect balance of lazy, fun and productive.   After having a 20 point burger on Friday at lunch with my sister, I made this FIVE point pizza.  I used the Joseph’s lavash and after getting some tips on Instagram from people who’ve tried it, I baked this at 350 degrees on my baking steel for 10 minutes.  Lavash (2), my zero...

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...
