My husband wanted a different pizza tonight and forwarded me a recipe for Margherita Pizza.  You marinate sliced Roma tomatoes in olive oil, garlic and fresh basil (which I asked him to pick up at the grocery store – duh!  we have a basil plant outside!). Here are the marinated tomatoes: I used some of the olive oil on the pizza dough, and then drained...

Yes!  It’s my lunch and I can have Mexican every day if I want! When looking through the fridge this morning, I realized I needed to use up the last two homemade tortillas that I made last weekend. 2 homemade tortillas (toasted in the toaster – it worked!) 1/4 cup vegetarian refried beans (end of the can finally!) 1.5 ounce chopped steak sprinkled with taco...

It was really foggy this morning.  But the good thing is that it was slightly cooler so the mosquitoes weren’t in full force like they were yesterday.  Ed and I took about a 25 minute walk this morning, because I didn’t put my food together last night.             I always think its funny to have a stop sign at the...

I have been craving pasta for a while, so tonight was the night.  My daughter loves any kind of pasta, but especially shaped pasta, i.e. Cavatappi which is what we had tonight.  Sadly, she does not like marinara sauce, but uses butter and garlic on hers.  I added about 2 tablespoons of fat free half and half to my sauce which made it REALLY creamy!...

I still can’t get over how lucky I am to have a full kitchen at work.  This took all of about 5 minutes to cook up.  It’s a great way to use up all the small bits of veggies at the end of the week too.  And I am drinking a Sprite with it!  I haven’t had pop in a month, but it just looked...

Quick walk this morning due to all the mosquitos!  As soon as we got to the river they were all over Ed.  We maybe walked 10 minutes? Breakfast: 1 Arnold sandwich thin 3 ounce diced canned potato .8 ounce muenster cheese .5 ounce fresh spinach 1 egg  Off to work. . .

Stuffed chicken that is!  I got this recipe off of www.recipezaar.com (Recipe #171805 if you want to look it up). 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (just for me but I forgot!) 2 ounces muenster or Swiss cheese 2 ounces deli ham 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon Italian seasonings 1 tablespoon olive oil...

Stuffed zucchini is what I have for lunch today. When my family looked at it last night, they thought it looked gross. But it is SO GOOD! I stuffed it with 3 ounces of leftover hamburger from last night, put about 4 ounces of marinara sauce and 1 ounce of fresh mozzarella on top and baked at 375 for 35 minutes. Reheated at work for...

Ed was sniffing up a storm on our walk this morning.  The only way I could get him to stop was to hold his leash really short.  We had a nice walk though, until we scared the ducks! I love this sign near our neighborhood.  I guess people drove too fast on his street and they got fed up! Breakfast: 1/3 cup oats 1/3 cup...
