Black Sesame Naan Bread

Black Sesame Naan Bread
I got an email reminder from one of my blog readers (Hi Rachel!) to ask for the 3 smart point naan bread I posted on Instagram last week with the hashtag #receipecomingsoon and I forgot to post it!  Thanks for the reminder Rachel I love the texture of these.  Slightly crisp on the edges, but soft and pillowy on the inside.  And at only 3...

Thai Chili Soy Noodle Stir Fry

Thai Chili Soy Noodle Stir Fry
Hanging out with Hannah yesterday morning was so nice.  The weather was perfect outside and it was just nice to catch up with her one on one.  Jacob and Hannah went out to eat last week when I was working one of the night markets.  Um, turns out they don’t cook a lot if I am not home.  When I was meal planning with what...

Breakfast Pizza and a Giveaway!

Breakfast Pizza and a Giveaway!
August 1st?  Really?  I can’t believe it.  This summer is going by way too fast, so I took the morning “off” and sat outside with Hannah this morning for a couple hours and we ate breakfast outside and chatted, caught up, watched youtube videos and drank coffee and water.  It was glorious! Last Friday I made a breakfast pizza, and a bunch of my WW...

Zucchini Lasagna Rollups

Zucchini Lasagna Rollups
Zucchini Lasagna Rollups These zucchini lasagna rollups are a great way to use up summer zucchini. I’ve been making the excuse lately on the days I work the market, that because my job is a lot of manual labor (packing up coolers, packing up my car, unpacking at the market, repacking after the market, putting everything back when I get to the shop) that I...

Beef and Veggie Lo Mein

Beef and Veggie Lo Mein
I had a very productive day yesterday!  I think I am getting used to all the manual labor, because I wasn’t as lethargic yesterday like I normally am after working markets two days in a row.  #winning!  I made a list of everything I wanted to get done, and did it all except get gas, but I can do that today.  It was gorgeous out...

Potato Crusted Quiche

Potato Crusted Quiche
Yep, the queen of maintenance is what you can call me! Up .8 for the week, and up .4 since April 21, so basically the same as when I started going back to WW meetings.  And while I wish the scale was going down, I do know that being aware of what I eat has prevented me from being 200 pounds by now.  This last...

Banana Chobani Muffins

Banana Chobani Muffins
Last night I was pondering where I am in my life and how different things are.  Two years ago this past weekend, I was working a second job at Zeal: Tony had already been hospitalized locally three times by May of 2014.   In June, July and August was when we made our treks to Mayo Clinic.  All while holding down a full time job, but...

Beef Satay with Pumpkin Seed Crema and Green Curry

Beef Satay with Pumpkin Seed Crema and Green Curry
So after three completely different job interviews, I’ve decided to work Farmers Markets this summer.  Right now I am on the schedule for three a week – Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.  The reason I chose this job is because I love the idea of being outdoors working in the summer.  Just remind me when it’s 95 degrees and I am melting.  And second, it will...

Spicy Thai Red Curry Beef

Spicy Thai Red Curry Beef
I guess one of the best things about writing a blog post as often as I do, is that my Mom and my PIL are always apprised as to what I am up to.  I don’t talk to them nearly as often on the phone because they can just read the blog and see what I am up to.  When I wrote on Friday that...

Skinny Mac N Cheese

Skinny Mac N Cheese
I am happy to say I made it a whole week without going to the grocery store – well, except for coffee creamer, but that’s not too bad!  I relied on my pantry/fridge/freezer and it just goes to show that if you think outside the box you can always come up with good eats with what you have on hand.  It’s just that sometimes, dishes...
