Pesto Pizza Party Bites

So, remember the other day when I had too much time and too much zucchini, and I ended up making muffins? Well, I had another one of those “episodes” tonight, and ended up making these: Yum, right!?

Lemon Cheesecake stuffed strawberies

Valentine's Day Lemon Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

Hi all! Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you had a day full of love and food (I know I did!). Friday, both kids had parties at school and daycare. I wanted to do a little something different, and NOT send them with plates of cookies and Rice Krispie treats dyed pink, so I decided I was sending them in with fruits and veggies. I made a veggie platter, and then whipped up some cheesecake...

A speedy egg scramble to start your morning off right!

The Mexican Scrambler

So about 6 months ago, I rejoined bootcamp. I had taken an epic digger moving out of my old house and into my new one. Anyone who knows me on moving day knows one thing for certain, and that is this: I am not a force to be reckoned with! I am 1. cranky, 2. miserable, 3. particular, 4. bossy and yes, 5. a smidge on the OCD side. I HATE MOVING, and everyone knows it. But this last...

12 Days of Christmas-The Office Party

So tomorrow is my annual office party. We do a Yankee gift swap, and we each bring a dish, eat ’till we can’t move, then proceed to work a productive, full afternoon. : ) I’m bringing a Spinach Wreath. I had received a recipe a while back and made some modifications to it, making it more supportive, and less carby. It’s actually to make Spinach Bars, but I wanted...

I eat so many meals at work, that I’m oftentimes left trying to be creative and eating supportively via use of the microwave. While I’m not a big fan of the microwave in general, it’s essential for my successes of eating supportively at work.
On Sundays I chop up and portion peppers, onions and whatever other well-freezing [...]

The Superintendent's Speedy Egg Scramble

I eat so many meals at work, that I’m oftentimes left trying to be creative and eating supportively via use of the microwave. While I’m not a big fan of the microwave in general, it’s essential for my successes of eating supportively at work. On Sundays I chop up and portion peppers, onions and whatever other well-freezing veggies I have on hand, and pre-cook proteins so that...
