On Friday night we ordered a Papa Murphy's take and bake pizza. This is not usually something we do, but the decision is halfway between going out and cooking our own dinner. He wants to eat better, so he gladly chose the vegetarian pizza. It was pretty tasty. You really have to love pizza, in general. Bread, cheese, and virtually any toppings you want. It can be really bad for you: loads of meat, too much cheese, and 2 inch thick bread, but if you make it yourself or choose wisely, it can be balanced, and even more - a deliciously satisfying pick. Something we might try - ordering a plain cheese and then adding our own toppings: artichokes, scallops, spinach, tomatoes.....
Saturday = flashback to the early days of our relationship. It is easy to forget to eat when you are first dating someone. You have no appetite. Well, that is also true when you are not getting along with someone. My boyfriend and I did not eat until 4:00 pm. that day, after only having coffee in the morning.
What was for lunch/dinner?
If you are familiar with the restaurant Pluto's, that's what. Pluto's is a great place in Northern California where you can create your own delicious salads. You choose from about 15 different toppings, including meat, and it comes with freshly baked bread. If you don't want a salad (and most people do), you can choose a sandwich special, or some carved meat, and add a side of mac and cheese, soup, or some veggies.
My favorite things to add to the Pluto's salad, or any salad:
-garbanzo beans-kidney beans
-beets
-mushrooms
-blue cheese or parmesan
-broccoli, tomatoes, or a substitute veggie.
...to some mixed greens with balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
