Sweet and Spicy Game Day Salsa

September 21, 2015 by Alexa [fooduzzi.com] 2 Comments

Who spent yesterday sitting on the couch in their comfy clothes, watching all of the football games, and eating their weight in glorious game day grub?!

*enthusiastically raises hand*

I love football season.

I feel like I’m legally obligated to love the game purely based on my Pittsburgh roots. Pittsburghers eat and breathe Steeler football. The city, with the exception of the bars and restaurants, pretty much shuts down in honor of the black and gold every single Sunday.

And while the game can be incredibly entertaining, I think we can all agree that sometimes the action on the field comes second to the delicious food that accompanies it.

I mean, come on. Fries, pizza, dips, chips…I’m convinced that the game of football is just an excuse to eat all the things.Read More

I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of routines.

I always wake up at 6 AM. I always eat the same breakfast (well, unless this is on the menu). I always drink a cup of green tea in the morning. I always make Mark breakfast.

And, most importantly, we always go to Trader Joe’s on Saturdays.Read More

Banana Bread Granola

Call me crazy, but I love mornings.

My internal clock always goes off at 6 AM, so I almost always am up to an early start. If it’s a work day, I’m getting dressed, doing the whole makeup and hair thing, making Mark and me breakfast, and slowly easing into the inevitably crazy day ahead of me. Truth be told, I’m at my most productive in the mornings; therefore, I always try to pound out as much of my to-do list as possible before noon.Read More

Thai Peanut Burrito Bowls

I’m a huge fan of keeping meals as simple as possible during the week.

I don’t know about you, but by the time I get home from work on a Tuesday, my brain is pretty much fried beyond the point of talking, let alone putting together an impressive, elaborate meal.

For this reason, Mark and I get into meal ruts. Bad. We make the same roasted vegetable salad every week, at least once a week. We always have some sort of Mexican food, whether it be b urrito bowls or tacos. We always have popcorn. It’s hard to change it up when we have these tasty meals down to a system.Read More
