This is the second traditional dish from another country that my sweetheart and I decided to try. This dish is from Norway, which I chose because I have Norwegian ancestry. And come on… meatballs. First of all, I have to say that it was harder than I thought to find a traditional Norwegian dish thatContinue reading “Kjøttkaker med Brunsaus (Meatballs with Gravy) 23Sep2022”

Arroz de Marisco 10Sep2022
My sweetheart and I have decided to try something fun: we are going to make a dish once or twice a month that is traditional to another country. (And when I say “we decided,” I really mean I wanted to do this and he is willing to try some new foods.) For this month heContinue reading “Arroz de Marisco 10Sep2022”
Story Time
I haven’t blogged a ton lately, for a few reasons. I’ve been working (of course), I’ve been re-doing the spare room into my office (that was well worth it!), and I’m writing a book. I’m thinking about writing a little series on this blog, but I’d really like to hear your thoughts on this. IsContinue reading “Story Time”
I Made Sushi!
I decided to have a go at making sushi so I could take it for lunch. I worked Monday and Tuesday, so I made these on Sunday afternoon. I learned there are recipes for sushi rice, which was a surprise. Apparently, you take the cooked sushi rice and add a mixture of seasoned rice vinegar,Continue reading “I Made Sushi!”
Roast Beef Roll-Ups
It’s time to prep lunches again! This time I decided to do something with roast beef. I saw something similar online, and it looked great… so why not? This is pretty simple: sliced roast beef, cheddar cheese slices, green chilis, and thinly slice red onion. I really wanted the whole green chilis, but my localContinue reading “Roast Beef Roll-Ups”
Lunch Prep: Pizza Zuke Boats
Trying to get back on the diet wagon, I picked out a couple of fun recipes. I actually made some egg, green chili, and cheese burritos with almond flour tortillas, but didn’t take pictures. They were very tasty, but not particularly pretty. And I forgot. But ANYWAY. I did take pictures of the pizza zucchiniContinue reading “Lunch Prep: Pizza Zuke Boats”
Acorn Squash Stuffed with Sautéed Spinach and Truffle Goat Cheese
My previous post involved meal prepping my work lunches. One of the meals was an Italian cauliflower bake. The other meal is this one. It’s vegetarian and deeelicious! I cut my acorn squashes in half and scrape out the seeds and guts. I like to also put a nice coat of olive oil on mine,Continue reading “Acorn Squash Stuffed with Sautéed Spinach and Truffle Goat Cheese”
Italian Cauliflower Bake
I’m making lunches for work tomorrow. I guess the buzz phrase is “meal prepping.” I have found if I don’t plan ahead and bring food, I’m likely to eat things that aren’t on my diet. Shocking! I work 12-hour shifts plus intermittent fasting, so I need two meals. My lunch is usually easy to get,Continue reading “Italian Cauliflower Bake”
