Oh Yeah

Let's play a little game friends! What do you get when you combine a pizza crust, thinly sliced potatoes, fresh chopped rosemary, olive oil, flake sea salt and a little pecorino cheese?













If your answer is CARB NIRVANA then you are correct! This drool inducing concoction is complicatedly named.... Potato Pizza. And it is heaven for all you carb-aholics like my husband and I. The recipe is amazingly simple, especially if you use a good quality pre-made crust like we do.(We get ours from a local, family owned Italian specialty store) You spread out the crust, put a thin layer of olive oil down and slice your potatoes thin on a mandolin. Layer the potatoes in rows until you cover the entire crust. Chop your rosemary pretty fine (fresh is hands down the best) and sprinkle over the potatoes. Add another thin layer of oil over the potatoes and finish with a sprinkle of pecorino cheese and flake sea salt. Your pre baked product should look like this.

Bake 20-30 minutes or until your crust is browned and the potatoes are cooked and everything just generally looks amazing. Your finished product should look something like this!

Oh.Yeah. Seriously trying to contain my drool. I will say, it's so darn easy and so darn yummy! My bagel with almond butter, bananas and honey just really isn't doing the job now. So while I wouldn't recommend eating this for dinner every night, it certainly is a nice, easy change when you are in the mood for something different (and delicious!)

In other breaking news it's a big, big day.  I am here and now kicking my $3.34 a day Starbucks habit to the curb. And yes, this is big news. For those of you who don't know, Starbucks is like a drug to me. It is required every morning just for me to function! But alas, in this whole trying to get healthy kick I'm trying to make more conscious decisions and the calories in my tall, non fat, extra hot, no whip mocha are probably unnecessary and the extra money is a plus too. My wonderful husband is an avid tea drinker and is pushing me that way. My first adventure into the wide world of tea is Lady Grey. As I told my husband, It's not......awful. Sure isn't very good either though. Any suggestions on some teas that I should try? I'm hoping to find one that is good soon because my resolve to stay away from my beloved Starbucks wavers each time I take a sip of this not so yummy tea.

In bike news, called the bike shop and they said that we should be able to replace the cables ourselves. Hoping we can get to that soon!
