Love and Pizza

-

I think that phrase is heavily overused and underused at the same time.
People say things like:
 "I love pizza"
"I love my dog"
"I love my new jeans"

But they are excessively hesitant to tell the people around them that they love them.

To be sure, there are ways to show that you love someone.

But showing does not exempt you from telling.

We humanoids need verbal confirmation.

So go call a friend, loved one, older person
that has inspired you and is dear to you
and tell them that you love them.

Right now! Go!

Did you do it? Good job.

Now let's talk food....

PIZZA!!

Pizza In a Bowl
Pizza in a bowl is one of my fave lazy dishes.
It feeds the pizza obsession in a quick and easy and carb optional way.
It's not really a set recipe, but here is what I do:

1) Heat 1 T olive oil in a pan and toss in 1/2 c fresh mushrooms.
(onion and fresh garlic and spinach could also go in at this point)

2) When the mushrooms are browned toss in 1 c cherry or grape tomatoes
and add 1 t each Italian seasoning, oregano and sea salt.

3) When they are warm and just slightly softened turn off the heat

4) Add in 1/4c black olives.

5) Serve with warm pita, bread sticks, crusty Italian or french bread
 over pasta or over rice or eat it out of the bowl.

I love boxes of Stuff!

I received a reviewers box of goodies from the Brad's Raw people last Monday and I really couldn't wait to share it with you.  However, when they said they were sending a sampler I was expecting tiny sample-sized packets, but this is what I got: And since I'm working on not being a greedy gus, I didn't immediately rip into all the packages and devour them. I did eat almost a whole container of the Naked Leafy Kale chips for dinner, but that was out of necessity since i haven't been shopping... Even though I don't strictly follow a gluten free or raw diet, I'm always on the lookout for a good tasting, portable gluten free or raw snack. I usually lean toward the Raw sweet snacks, but I'm open to more salty or savory ones. Along with the box of tasty vittles there was a nicely packaged information folder about how the company started and who Brad is. Brad was the typical American guy (i.e. overweight and unhealthy), but that all changed when he m

In my attempts to reduce my stress load I have rediscovered one of my favorite de-stressors: relaxing with a hot cup of tea. Ive read wonderful things about the relaxing benefits of Earl Grey tea spiked with Bergamot. I have to admit I'm a bit of a tea snob. I like to be able to see the composition of the tea in the bag. I find it thrilling to look in the tea bag and see bits of dried orange and lemongrass. This, of course, can do terrible things to ones wallet. So, in the interest of pinching pennies (sounds gruesome for those poor pennies) I considered the lower costing teas. To be perfectly honest I was not hopeful when I selected this tea. But for a change the tea that cost the least ($2.99) was surprisingly good (Mind you i was shopping at Whole Foods and its pretty hard to buy an awful product there). Bigelow Tea has a wonderful quality to its taste even though it is not a whole leaf tea. And as I was perusing the tea boxes I noticed that it is one of the few teas that has ac

Do you ever Treat Yourself?

Of course I do! But after eating whole foods for so long, my treats tend to be "real food". A treat for me is a trip to Chipotle, Whole Foods prepared foods section, or just cooking something I can't afford regularly (i.e. something with artichokes, avocado, etc.). But that is not to say I don't have non- whole food treats. But feel free to laugh at my list of "naughty" treats. It is kind of annoying when I say I have a craving and my friends laugh because my cravings are relatively "healthy". Anyway, here is a sampling of what I've been indulging in this summer. So Delicious Coconut milk ice cream in Cherry Amaretto with a dollop of Coconut Butter Tortilla chips topped with nooch cheese and tomato sauce Sweet potato fries with peanut butter and coconut butter Soft Pretzel at the Pittsburgh Pirates game Pirates won! Ice coffee with soymilk and maybe a shot of Torani syrup...
