Margherita Naan Pizza

July 25th, 2016Tina0 Comments

Can every night be pizza night? I’m totally serious. I’m the kind of girl who can’t repeat a meal more than two or three times in a row because I get sick of things easily. Pizza however is a different ball game. I could eat pizza every day for, oh I don’t know, is forever too long? (That’s goes for bagels too.) A few months ago I used store-bought Naan in an attempt to satisfy a pizza craving because it was the only bread that I had in the house and it sort of looks like pizza before you’ve done …

Stuff I’m Into: Workout Routine

July 20th, 2016Tina0 Comments

As some of you may know I took a local kickboxing class for about 3 and 1/2 years. Sometimes I’d throw in a run or do a DVD workout on TV, but 95% of my workout life for the past few years was all about kicking the crap out of a bag. I loved it because it was an awesome workout and I made a lot of friends. Sadly, the class is no longer being offered and I suddenly had to figure out what I wanted to do to take its place. I don’t like change and honestly I was upset …

Mexican Corn and Quinoa Salad

July 15th, 2016Tina2 Comments

Yesterday’s lunch is today’s post. In fact, since my husband doesn’t like quinoa, the leftovers were today’s lunch too. I was so excited with anticipation and couldn’t wait for lunch time to roll around. This salad is that awesome. I’ve heard of Mexican corn but I never knew exactly what it was until I saw this recipe and got curious enough to look it up. Mexican (street) corn, also known as elote, is a corn on the cob most commonly served with salt, chili powder, butter, cheese, lemon or lime juice, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Wow, I’ve been missing out because that sounds fabulous. …

Stuff I’m Into: Beach Essentials

July 13th, 2016Tina2 Comments

Here’s a list of my beach side/pool essentials: Sunscreen. I’m a fanatic when it comes to protecting my skin so I lather up with lots of sunscreen. I’ve been using Banana Boat Sport sunscreen for years and love it because it’s not greasy or “lotion-y” feeling. I also use Aveeno sunscreen for my face. You can certainly use the Banana Boat on your face but I prefer using something that is specifically designed for the face. I don’t think that’s strictly necessary. My husband uses Banana Boat on his face and it works just fine. I also use Banana Boat sunscreen lip balm because my lips …

Triple Berry Pie

July 8th, 2016Tina2 Comments

Mmm pie. Do I start all my post about pie that way? I don’t remember. I have mixed emotions about pies. I love, love, love to eat them, so let’s set that straight. However, I’m not necessarily a fan of making them because it’s a bit of a process for me. Did I cut the fruit the right size? Do I have too much fruit? Do I have too little fruit? Did I roll the crust the right size to fit the pan? Is the pie done cooking? How about now? Am I taking it out too early? Did the filling thicken …
