Hi friends! It's been another football filled Thursday night in my house, and my New York Giants just killed it and crushed the Panthers! :) Before I get to food, here's a cute puppy picture: I spent some time with this 10-week old cutie volunteering last night at the Humane Society. I doubt I'll ever see him again, as he'll probably be adopted by the time I get back there next week. Such a sweetie! The recipe I'm sharing with you tonight is adapted from the Skinny Bitch cookbook: [pinit url="https://www.foodielovesfitness.com/2012/09/20/red-wine-portobello-calzones/" image_url="https://www.foodielovesfitness.com/2012/09/20/red-wine-portobello-calzones/img_2998/" description="Red Wine Portobello Mushroom Calzones"] Calzones remind me of my grandma's house. Sometimes when I hung out ... [Read More]

Zucchini Cakes
Let me start off this post on a totally random note. Yesterday at the dog park, I got peed on...yeaaaaahhh. A dog just walked up to me, lifted his leg, and started peeing on my leg and foot. Hmm, what? Has this happened to anyone out there? Was he marking me as his territory? All I know is that it was definitely my strange moment of the day! Moving onto a more pleasant subject, on the menu for dinner tonight were these bad boys: What some people refer to as vegetarian crab cakes - zucchini cakes! This recipe from The Vegan Table is pretty simple and quick. I served mine with light sour cream and cocktail sauce. Zucchini Cakes Serves 4 What you need: 4 medium zucchini (mine measured out to 5 cups grated) 2 TBSP (dairy free) butter, melted 1 c seasoned ... [Read More]
Broccoli Red Pepper Quiche
Yesterday marked my first mountain biking excursion of the year. Biking on a rocky, mountainous trail is both exhilarating and scary. One of the things I love about San Diego is that we have access to so many things in such a short distance -- from the beach and wineries, to mountains and countryside. The place where Adam and I went biking yesterday is just a couple minutes away, yet it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. It was a lot of fun and a nice workout. Speaking of bikes, this weekend my hubby got another kind of bike: That's right, I suppose I'm going to be a biker babe now! Adam has been wanting a motorcycle, and what better time than soon after he returned home from a deployment, right?! He's in the process of getting his motorcycle license, and soon we'll be ...

Grilled Portobello with Arugula and Tomato
The first time I checked out model Chrissy Teigen's food blog, So Delushious, my immediate reaction was to call my mother to complain that life isn't fair. Yes, I know that some people are blessed with fast metabolisms and can eat whatever they want without gaining weight. But to see the first two recipes on the blog of a supermodel being oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies and cake batter popcorn? Now that's just rubbing it in.. Although she seems to love to talk about things like duck fat and bacon (her blog's tagline reads ''Personal ramblings from a girl who loves bacon and can't be fat"), which clearly is not up my alley, I've checked it out a few times since then. The main reason? Her fiancee is John Legend, who happens to be one of my favorite singers ever. I've seen him in ... [Read More]
