CEiMB: Spinach, Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Pizza

Just a short post for now, just came back from the cinema: saw 'Avatar'. Wow!! What a movie!
Up above is my gorgeous pink bike, covered in the snow. I haven't seen this much snow since I live in this appartment... It's been like this since Christmas: crazy!


So, this is my first CEiMB-post in a while. I must admit it's great to be able to eat again and even better to be able to enjoy the things I eat again! This weeks recipe for Craving Ellie in My Belly was picked by Half Meatball/Half Matzoh Ball Children.




Argula was nowhere to be found at the supermarket, so I used spinach instead. I also added some yellow pepper I still had laying around in my fridge. The second time I made these I added a drizzle of balsamic vinegar to the veggies. This is another winner by Ellie: easy to put together in no time whatsoever and tasty too!! I will most definetely be making this one again!


The recipe can be found over at Half Meatball/Half Matzoh Ball Children and at Foodnetwork. Check out what my fellow Ellie-istas thought of the Arugula, Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Pizza here!

So, yeah....

Earlier today I was feeling really sorry for my self and I indulged in my selfpity while typing the text in italics below...

Reasons why it suck being me:
  • at the moment I have absolutely no appetite and find no joy in eating the foods that I normally really enjoy, such as chocolate, sweets, desserts, cookies, fries, etc.
  • I'm fat...
  • at the moment I can't find joy in the things I love to do, such as blogging, cooking and baking...
  • my right cheek is really big, fat and read due to toothache, which makes me feel really ugly...
  • I really like this guy, let's call him Mr. X and I haven't heared from him in a week....



When I read those lines a few minutes ago, I knew I had to try and make myself feel better! So, here's why it's great to be me:

  • I lost 8 kilos in the last 3,5 weeks thanks to my loss of appetite
  • I have a steady job that I love
  • I have great friends that I can always call when I need them
  • I have an amazing family that I can depend on, no matter what
  • I have the cutest cat and dog that I love dearly

So, yeah.... feeling better already!!!

Outside it's snowing again. Although I'm done with the snow and the cold, I must admit that it does look really pretty. Especially now that it's dark outside: the snow is all glittery!

12 Days of Christmas Cookies...... update

I know...... I still owe you 3 cookies for my 12 Days of Christmas Cookies.....
And of the 9 cookies I posted 3 are only pics, no wordsrecipes.... Don't worry: everything will be updated this week, except for the 12th cookie: I was all cookied out after 11.... So no NYT Chocolate Chip Cookies. I'm going to bake these as soon as I'm in the mood for cookies, which I'm guessing will take a while.
However, this is what you can expect of me this week:
