I have only made pizza dough one other time, but I remember it being successful. So, when I read a recipe for a Caesar Salad Pizza in my RR magazine that was made with store bought dough, I thought I would try my hand at using homemade dough…here are some snippets from my adventure. The … Continue reading »

peanut butter and sushi
This morning, inspired by Kath, I used an almost empty peanut butter jar to create my breakfast. To this I added: 1/2 cup plain yogurt 1/2 cup Honey Nut Bunches of Oats handful (about 6) dry roasted almonds – chopped drizzle of honey Such deliciousness. I wasn’t incredibly hungry (unusual) but it was so good … Continue reading »
watermelon heaven and family
My family was stopping by on the way back from DIA this evening, and I wanted to prepare something yummy for them to eat – but I really didn’t want to go to the grocery store – so I made a pantry-clean-out meal. It was more successful than I had hoped! I will post the … Continue reading »
leftover kindness
I went for another hike with the doggie this morning, but before I went I had some yogurt and this FABULOUSLY beautiful plum. …I mean, LOOK at that color. Gorgeous. After the hike I was starving, so I came home looking for something quick. Now let me just say that leftovers are HUGE at our … Continue reading »
summer is dwindling…
I start school next week, so I have dedicated every day (from now until then) to fully enjoying summer things, like mid-day hikes, grilling, and weeknight movies with friends.

I found a recipe from Kath for a casserole that included canned salmon, lots o’ veggies, and noodles, and it reminded me so much of a dish my mom used to make with canned salmon that I had to give it a shot. I started with these fresh, colorful little numbers: and then added cream … Continue reading »
successful veggie make-over #2
Still loving those leftover roasted vegetables. Here is what I did with them for lunch… This was so good – I was completely satisfied eating just half. In the sandwich: spicy mustard, smear of cream cheese, spinach, tinsy bit of pepper jack cheese, veggies (obvi.), salt and pepper. Put into the panini press for 3-4 … Continue reading »
baked omelette
I really like omelettes, but can never seem to flip them correctly…so I bake them. It is so stinkin’ easy. This morning, I was craving those leftover veggies from last night, so I threw them together with some eggs, and voilà…a fab breakfast. I started off by chopping the veggies, and browning them up with a … Continue reading »
this is why I love dessert
All I can say is that I am glad I had a really satisfying lunch and thank goodness for chocolate ice cream. My dinner was…disjointed. The ingredients sounded good on paper (and even in picture), but the taste was off. As a note to myself – shrimp and fire roasted tomatoes don’t really work together. … Continue reading »
