Vegetarian

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...

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...

I am sure I am not the only one that eats/sleeps/dreams of food pretty much all day.  If I am not meal planning, I am grocery shopping, meal prepping – the list goes on and I basically love it.  Except there are only so many hours in the day that I can actually spend in my kitchen during the week.   So my Pinterest page of...

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...

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)....

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...

You will love this one point marinara sauce!! One of the things that I love about the WW app – is that there is something called WW Connect – think of it as a mini-Facebook for WW members.  I love how it will pick out random posts of people to “trend” – let’s say that an online member reached goal, and when they entered the...

So I woke up this morning, walked to my computer to publish my blog post and this is what I saw: I was up 45 minutes before I had to leave, and it was still running when I left.  Gah!  Luckily I posted this to my draft folder vs. keeping it on LiveWriter, which I could only access on my desktop. So enjoy these buttery...

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...
