Don’t you love being pleasantly surprised? Not shocked. No surprise party heart attack. No racing heart or sweaty palms. Just pleasantly surprised. Monday was a day chock full of pleasant surprises. First off, it was Monday. Sometimes Mondays are rough. Sometimes Mondays are straight out ugly…from the sound of the alarm at way-too-early o’clock to theContinue reading “Spinach and Feta Quesadillas”

Let’s Do Breakfast!
I found the candy drawer at work today. I would have had a fun size bag of Skittles, but the bag was close to empty. I ate a Cow Tale instead. A caramel cream candy like thing if you aren’t in the know. I like working with people who stash candy and chocolate in desk drawers. Continue reading “Let’s Do Breakfast!”
Cheesy Corn Muffins
OK…wanna know a secret about me? Just between you and me…are you ready for this? I don’t like the taste of butter. It’s true. I never have. I never will. Don’t get me wrong, it’s amazing stuff when it is combined with sugar and flour and baked in a 350 degree oven…I wouldn’t bake withContinue reading “Cheesy Corn Muffins”
Baked Breakfast Scramble
Is it weird that I think about food when I am exercising? What do I need at the grocery, or whats/when is my next meal going to be, or am I working out hard enough to eat a snack or should I make cupcakes or brownies today? Something along those lines… What do you think of when youContinue reading “Baked Breakfast Scramble”
Mushroom and Onion Quesadillas…
Is it weird that I can watch Trauma:Life in the ER on the Discovery Channel while stuffing my face daintily eating my dinner/breakfast? The show is seriously addicting and for some reason it makes me giggle – I know, I know the situations are horrific, however the hospital staffs are great. The other day a dude cameContinue reading “Mushroom and Onion Quesadillas…”
Roasted Beet and Feta Quinoa
This morning I was quite productive. So productive that I was worried/scared that I might want to fold and put away laundry once I got everything else done. Can I just say that I am relieved that I ran out of steam after lunch?!? Those of you that have shared an abode with me are none too surprised. IContinue reading “Roasted Beet and Feta Quinoa”
Caprese Salad Bruschetta
Ever make a dish, just to try it out, see what happens, work through the kinks, feed your hunger pangs, whatever the reason, and it turns out so freaking good that you feel the need to knock on your neighbors door and offer them random food at 9:30AM? It is so tasty that their odd/confusedContinue reading “Caprese Salad Bruschetta”
Cornurishment
I have been a bit under the weather this week…since Monday night actually. Achoo! Sniffle sniffle. When did I catch this cold, or more precisely, when did it catch me? I was blaming it on the air conditioning that suddenly appeared everywhere once the temperature hit 80 or so. What was life like before a/c ? Continue reading “Cornurishment”
Parmesan Zucchini
I found these little gems at Trader Joe’s the other day. Aren’t they just the cutest things? How come the baby version of anything becomes cuter? I mean baby clothes and shoes, adorable! Well heck, babies are much cutier than their adult counterparts (human and animal…puppies!) OK back to vegetables. I love zucchini. It makes a quickContinue reading “Parmesan Zucchini”
Steak Salad (my first)
So after nearly two weeks of cookies, muffins, and cheesecakes…I have regained my senses (a reaction to the fright of the looming swimsuit season…) and returned to the perimeter of the grocery . I hope the baking isle doesn’t feel neglected, I’ll be back soon! Spring/soon to be summer has finally arrived! Wahoo! This is the first fullContinue reading “Steak Salad (my first)”
