Adventure Begins in the Kitchen

Cheater, Cheater, Rice Cake Eater

by

So… I cheated yesterday for my 365 Project by using a picture of food from this post rather than exploring alternate photographic avenues.  I ran out of time.   I now understand why there are an infinite amount of quotes about cheaters only cheating themselves.  I was disappointed in myself.  It won’t happen again.

And on to the opposite of disappointment – I discovered the ultimate low cal, gluten-free pita substitute for hummus!  Suzie’s Thin Cakes are less than 13 calories per cake and are much more cracker-like than traditional rice cakes.

I smeared a layer of dill hummus and topped with shredded carrots.

It may not seem substantial enough for lunch, but after you eat about seven, you’re well on your way to perfect full.  This combo has officially been added to my list of favorite fresh snacks!

Since twenty ten was marked by Lazy Pants Pizza and Healthy Pants Pizza, it only seemed appropriate to begin twenty eleven with a pizza that encompassed the only two planned resolutions that I began the year with:  no more meat, no more dairy.  I walked into Gourmet Pizza Company and placed my weird order, confident that this was going to be a good year, confident that these resolutions were enough to make a good year.

It took approximately two-ish days of people questioning my sanity before I realized that these resolutions were nowhere near challenging enough (for me) to make my own good year.  After all, I’ve done this before, a lot, and I will do it again.

So, giving partial credit to the new years strangers that helped put some things into perspective, I came up with a couple additions to the less than challenging resolutions listed above.

In 2011, Kristin is going to…

–  Make the most of where I am, even if where I am is Tampa.

–  Be positive company and keep positive company.

–  Participate, unofficially, in 365 Project.

Non-Italian, Anti-Wedding Soup

by

There was a point in time in which I decided to be okay with mystery meatballs and become a liker of Italian Wedding Soup.  Most of the time I’d push them aside and focus on the spinach and noodles.  Other times I would eat a couple out of curiosity and dump the rest.  But never had I ever considered making my own, un-mystery version of this classic.
