New year, probably a new format, and hopefully a better commitment to this whole blog thing!
This year has brought a new commitment to losing weight, which has been going very well so far! I'm part of a Biggest Loser competition, and the best part (besides losing weight) is it encourages me to cook more at home instead of eating out.
Today started the week off strong. I admit, I did eat out for lunch; hard to feel guilty when it was the salad bar at Whole Foods though. But I got groceries for the week and made pizza from scratch; and quiche too. Quick breakfasts mean I'm less tempted to get something on the way to work, and because they're protein loaded I'll snack less.
Quiche
I made this quiche recipe; I swapped the regular cheddar for almond cheddar and used fake meat instead of turkey sausage. Oh, and almond milk for real milk. They came out super fluffy and smelling incredible. I did have to bake them longer than the recipe said, but I really think it's my oven more than anything else.
Pizza
I've got half the dough from the crust left for another dinner this week; the recipe is from a pizza book I borrowed a while back. The thin crust recipe is to die for and it's so easy. The catch is it needs to rise for an hour...which, with my oven, really isn't that much of a catch...my oven needs a full hour to reach 500 anyway.
And?
And that's it. Short post. Happy to be back. No promises on how long I'll be back! I have great intentions but really, with the house, the dog, the cats, work, GRE study, and car issues.....this unfortunately falls under "hobby" and that just can't keep up with the rest of it!
See you when I see you!
Eat Happy!
