Cauliflower Crust Chicken Taco Pizza
Ok, first I must apologize for my terrible pictures in this post. I am a bad foodie… BUT, I made this after my workout last night and I was starving, I was so hungry that I couldn’t wait to eat it so I just used my phone. Errr, I meeean…the bunny stole my camera and I had to use my phone… Don’t judge me. I have been wanting to try this recipe for Cauliflower Crust from Laura at Sprint2theTable, for like ever. Right Laura? I have been saying for MONTHS, I was going to make it. Went over to Laura’s site, found the ingredients was like oooohhh shoot, no idea…

Provençale Chicken
Hello everyone, how is life treating ya? I have to say I am pretty stressed. We had a rather unfortunate occurrence at our house this past weekend which really put a damper on the week. We came home to some lovely water damage in our powder room, yea the one I showed you guys before that was completely done. The ceiling is not salvageable. Which means taking down the ceiling, replacing the drywall, redoing the plastering, priming and painting and potentially having to redo the crown molding and caulking that is already been done. How did that happen you ask? Well, remember how I told you about how we were…

Sur La Table Cooking Class
As promised, here is the post about the class that I took at Sur La Table. It was called Date Night: Cozy French Dinner, and here is what was on the menu: Thyme and Gruyere Gougeres Frisee and Apple Salad with Dijon-Honey Vinaigrette Coq a Vin with Wild Mushrooms Chocolate Pots de Crème with Walnut Praline This meal was designed to be a rustic hearty meal. It definitely was! From the moist and crisp gougeres to the tart salad and the savory coq a vin…it was an all around stellar meal. I will definitely be making some of these recipes again. Although I would change some of them around just…

Kung Pao Chicken
TGIF!! Any big plans this weekend? I have the cooking class, other than that just lots of working out trying to get more in shape for my trip to Disney in May. Yup that’s right! I am going to Disney!! I have never been. My brother went a couple times but I wasn’t ever taken. I think my grandparents on my Mom’s side liked him better as a child haha. He went like 2 or 3 times and I never got to go. Well you know what?! I AM GOING NOW! The girls I play softball with got a timeshare down there for an entire week around Memorial day so…

Chicken Pepper Pasta
Hello everyone! I have been MIA this week. Been feeling slightly under the weather and I missed 2 days of work this week which has made the rest of my week pretty hectic during the day. You know whenever you miss a few days of something you just feel out of sorts? That is how I feel this week. I am sure I will get back up to speed, but it is the catching up that is the brutal part. HOWEVER! In the coming weeks I have some really exciting news to share with all of you. I don’t mean to hold you all in suspense, but I just wanted…

Spicy Asian Chicken and Noodle Soup
It is getting to be that time of year where all I want to do on the weekends is curl up with a good book, a blanket, and a bowl of soup and just lounge around. Fall is seriously my favorite time of year. I just love the cool brisk air and when the leaves that start to change. I have hoped ever since I was a little girl that I would be able to get married in the Fall. I am sure that me getting married is quite some time away right now, but a girl can dream. 😉 This soup I am sharing with you today is a…

Peach and Feta Chicken Pizza
Hello my foodie friends! How are you this Thursday morning? I am certainly doing better than I was yesterday. I dropped my car off at a shop to get repaired after my accident that I had this week. What a bummer! I am glad that my car will be getting fixed though. I pretty much love my car (2008 Ford Escape XLT V6, vroom vroom!) so having it get fixed is going to be the highlight of my week next week. It is always so hard to not have a car you know? I am lucky that I have an extra car that I can drive around. I had a…

Stuffed Banana Peppers
The garden is just bursting with vegetables right now and I am loving every single second. I have become SUCH a vegetable eater as I have gotten older. I just don’t have the desire anymore to have a big juicy steak. The last time I actually went for meat was when I was in Kansas City and I was going to Gates BBQ, where I stuffed my face like a fat kid with some pulled pork and baked beans…mmmm, nomnoms. Other than that… ::shrugs:: I think I could really live without it. I think it has something to do with the fact that the beef just doesn’t taste the same…

Chicken Tacos with Cilantro Slaw and Avocado Cream
I started my weekend off right this past week…yup, that’s right…with cocktails! I know a lot of you saw my delicious cocktail picture on book of faces at precisely 6:31pm Friday night. I was lucky enough to take the afternoon off from work last Friday and take a nice bike ride. I am SO glad that I did that too because like you read in my post yesterday, it is supposed to rain for the next 6 days… 🙁 . I am very happy that I was able to get out and enjoy the last of the sunshine for a while. Anyways, to celebrate the gorgeously warm weather…what better cocktail…

Work has been SO busy and the softball and kickball (yes I play kickball in an adult league, it is SO much fun!!) leagues are starting up. BUSY BUSY!

Sesame Noodles with Chicken
It’s Friday!! What a week this has been! I think that being gone to California really put a dent in my workload at work. I just cannot seem to get ahead of the game. Needless to say I am pretty happy about it being Friday not only because it means I don’t have to work tomorrow and I get to sleep in, BUT one my girlfriends at work went on a “HOT DATE” last night and I can’t wait to hear about it!! 😉 Last night I wanted to try and make something a little different (and healthy) for myself. I am always looking to try new recipes but sometimes…
