I loveeeee soup. I am a comfort food kind of gal. Warm mac n cheese, hot apple pie, peanut butter toast. Oh yeah peanut butter on toast has to be my favorite winter food besides soup. I was thinking about some cold gazpacho today while I was sweating my buns off running around with my two favorite kids today. So I went on another recipe hunt and found this Quick Gazpacho Recipe on a super cool site called Cooking for Engineers. I have been on this site for all of 10 min and am in love. So much cooking knowledge in one site! I'm drooling. Anyway what I found so cool about this recipe is that its done in the blender then plopped into a bowl and refrigerated. How easy is that! Engineers know how its done lol!
So back to my two favorite boys.... We ran around at Quiet Waters Park today and spent some much needed time by the water. We found out that the dog park there is now closed because of terrible erosion which makes me sad. I used to take my killer miniature daschund there to play. Yes shes a 7in tall killa, stone cold. So after our park outing we went to Chick Fil A where we dressed up like cows to get free food. America is great, isn't it!? They messed up my order but its free food so who cares. The Rizz has done fruit today so far.... a ton of it lol.
My husband sad the V word and now im craving it. Not V like True Blood V silly, V like Veggie Burgers! I'm on a quest to find a good veggie burger tonight for dinner. Hopefully ill find one local and wont have to drive to Timbuktu. Speaking of burgers... if your ever in Philly Jacks Firehouse has stellar food. I had the best black bean burger there a few years ago. Looks like its not on the menu anymore but the rest of the food looks great and veg friendly.
Happy eats!

Day One
So today is day one of my pescatarian adventure. Iv been good today, no meat at all. So far chicken nuggets are the only sirens of the ice box but its all good. I will stay strong. So I decided to do this because it makes sense and not for any other reason. I love me some bacon and have no problem eating animals but the fact is I'm not getting any younger and neither is my ass. To put it bluntly my days of eating Babe have caught up to me and it shows. But there is hope, I have been a vegetarian and even a vegan before. You may be asking yourself, then why aren't you still vegetarian. what happened? The simple fact is that I hadn't found a way to make my diet easy. I was complicating it and eventually I cheated. Im a grab and go kind of person. I love to bake when I have time but thats once in a blue moon.
So my quest here is to find quick and easy vegetarian dishes to keep me on track. I want to make it for at least 4 months which is longer than iv done it before. Hopefully it will be a new lifestyle. My ass is going to thank me, im sure of it lol.
I would love it if people want to share recipies with me so feel free to post BUT mums the word if you try one of my recipes and think my cooking is horrible. I already get enough crap from working 3 jobs, I don't need to add anymore. So on to the first recipe....
I love PF Chang's Tofu Lettuce Wraps so I found this awesome recipe I am going to try for dinner tonight. Check it out... Tasty tofu lettuce wraps by Rahzh!
I had a left over experiment last week that turned out super good so I wanted to share that too. Im addicted to hummus and found hummus snack packs in the grocery store (it was a happy day fo sho). I was getting tired of plain old hummus on bread so I decided to kick it up a notch. Try this out and let me know what you think. Im calling it the Hummus Cheese Spectacular (lol i never claimed to be a real cook, just keep that in mind)....
Slice up french bread and place it on a baking stone or cookie sheet
Spread roasted red pepper hummus over the slices of bread
Place goat cheese crumbles onto the hummus
Sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese on top
Broil on high for 7min
Let them cool for 2ish min
