Spent Friday evening through Sunday at my parents’ house, and Saturday night we had Gina’s Pizza. For my half, I picked out mushroom, onion, and pineapple; great combination. I definitely had more than just this one piece. My mom also made one of my faves, homemade ham and bean soup, the night before: Saturday got … Continue reading »

Five-Cheese Gnocchi
Holy heck, tonight’s dinner was good. Even Tom gave his seal of approval for this meatless dish (even though he had tilapia with dinner, so he didn’t go completely meatless.) But honestly, how can you go wrong with gnocchi? The recipe I found is called Six-Cheese Gnocchi Parmesan, but my version only had five cheeses … Continue reading »
Grilled Veggie Wrap – Bar Louie
Last night I ate at Bar Louie for dinner. Started things out with a cocktail; a dirty CEO martini: Despite my attempts to "diet," or at least eat fewer junk foods, the huz couldn’t resist ordering a half-off happy hour app – spinach and artichoke dip, so naturally I had a few several. Hey, there’s … Continue reading »
Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers
Alright, alright, I’m a couple days behind in my blog. So let’s get right to it.. Tuesday night’s dinner menu was Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers (made half of this recipe). It started out with these three bad boys: Then I mixed up the “stuffing,” which consisted of diced tomatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, basil, kidney beans, frozen … Continue reading »
Honey Ginger Soy Salmon
Today I got back on my healthy eating track, more or less, after a few indulgences Friday and Saturday. I marinated the salmon in a mixture of Soy Sauce, Rice Vinegar, Grated Ginger root, and Honey (based on this recipe) for 15 minutes, and then broiled it for around 9-10 minutes. Once cooked through, the salmon … Continue reading »
Ahmo’s Falafel Plate
As you may have seen in a recent post, not longer ago I tried making falafel myself and it was quite a fail. The huz m recently tried Ahmo’s and liked it, and I have never been; so, tonight we decided to go for dinner so I could get my falafel fix (and the huz his gyro fix). I … Continue reading »
Potbelly’s Chicken Salad Salad and Max & Erma’s Fajitas
And the weekend eating-out begins. Friday for lunch I had this Chicken Salad Salad from Potbelly’s (with their sweet fat-free vinaigrette). It tasted good, but unfortunately did not agree with my stomach for some reason. Friday night the gluttony begins. Tom had a insistent hankering for nachos, so we got these from Max & Erma’s. … Continue reading »
Spicy Black Bean Soup and Chicken & Dumplings remixed
It’s been a few days since my last post, since I haven’t eaten anything terribly interesting or blog-worthy (some could argue that several of the things I post aren’t exactly blog-worthy. :p ) Have been doing well on the whole scaling-down-on-meat-consumption goal (meat consumed only twice in previous 6 days). Also, I have been reading … Continue reading »
