She used a big ass cast iron pan and I have a big ass cast-iron pan that I have been looking to use. Ingredients: 9 oz fresh spinach Olive oil (at least 6… Continue reading Whole Wheat Spinach Pizza with White Sauce

Crusty French Bread
Every once and a while I realize I need a mental health break and take a random day off from work. Last week when I took PTO I wanted to have bread with soup since it has been terribly cold here in Maryland. I realized the last time Greg and I went grocery shopping I… Continue reading Crusty French Bread
Breakfast Cookies
In an effort to appeal to Greg's nephews and my sweet tooth, I came up with the idea of breakfast cookies. My mom is a baker and used to say we could have homemade cookies for breakfast around the holidays, which I loved and I still do. Thinking of a way I could sell this… Continue reading Breakfast Cookies

🥑 Avocado “eggroll” Wontons  🥑Â
Before Greg and I went on vacation I noticed our avocados were starting to get ripe. I threw them in the refrigerator with my fingers crossed I did it before they turned. We all know, avocados are temperamental, if you look at them the wrong way they turn and your plans for Guac or avocado… Continue reading 🥑 Avocado “eggroll” Wontons  🥑Â
Hiking Maryland-Great Falls Park
Greg purchased a book about the 50 best hikes in Maryland. He is well aware of my desire to be fit, and he has a drive to do ALL the hikes in his book so he asked me to pick one to do this weekend. I picked this hike based on the distance alone, I… Continue reading Hiking Maryland-Great Falls Park
