Hi there and Happy Friday! Let me start this Friday post off with something sweet... So, I totally ate this for dinner last night! I've been doing a thing where I eat dessert for dinner about one night a week, and it's working out great for me and my sweet tooth. 80/20 balanced eating baby! The above deliciousness is scoops of Halo Top Creamery vanilla bean, strawberry, & chocolate flavors (despite me talking abut them twice this week, I'm not affiliated with them at all.... yet! I'd certainly like to be since I love them :) ) with banana, caramel, a TJ's brownie & oats bar and some chopped up Bark Thins dark chocolate pretzel with sea salt chunks.

Spring Veggie & Fontina Quiche
Hey there! Hope you had a great weekend and Easter celebration. I had plans to attend a vegetarian festival in town but the event wound up getting postponed a few weeks, so my Easter Sunday turned into a productive weekend day instead!

We currently have a bunch of different colors randomly painted in the front, but we ... [Read More]
Fontina, Artichoke & Roma Tomato Calzone
Sometimes I hear about a recipe or see a picture of a meal, and I just know that I need to make it myself in the near future. I feel as though there's a section in my brain solely dedicated to keeping a constant list of recipes to create and grub to try. This is how I felt when I was recently reading Brittany's blog and she was talking about different meal delivery services that she had given a try. With one of the services, she had eaten an artichoke and fontina calzone for dinner one night. As soon as I heard mention of fontina cheese paired with artichokes, rolled in pizza dough to make the classic Italian fare, I knew that I would be creating a recipe for it myself very soon. And so here I was last weekend, with all of the ingredients to whip up a calzone recipe....and excited to ... [Read More]
