White Pizza Cheese Dip

February 6, 2019

This is my go-to appetizer recipe - partly because any time I sign up for appetizer duty, it gets specifically requested, so I don’t have a chance to try anything else! With only 4 ingredients (3 of which you probably already have), it’s ridiculously easy and always a hit. The only labor intensive aspect is grating 2 cups of cheese, but if you have a Vitamix or other high-powered blender, it can do the work for you. A word of caution - people will ask you what’s in it, and you will have to confess that it’s almost entirely cheese and mayonnaise… not exactly healthy eating, but IMHO, totally worth it. I like this with stoned wheat crackers, but anything crunchy works!

PS - Bethesda natives, I think this tastes so much like Pines of Rome white pizza! The best!

WHY I QUIT WHOLE30.png

Why I Quit Whole30

January 24, 2019

I have a confession to make: I didn't last even two weeks on Whole30 this round. And, because I told so many people that I was doing Whole30 this month, I have to actually own up to it and can't just sneakily start eating bread and drinking wine again, womp womp. So, instead of a recap of what I ate last week (spoiler: there was pizza more than once and a girls' night with much wine), I've been thinking a lot about why I was so successful in my first Whole30 round in October and why I failed so spectacularly this go-round. Learn from my mistakes! Or don’t, and we can be Whole30 dropouts together - want to come over for pizza?

Whole30 Week 2 Recipes

January 16, 2019

There are some definite pros and cons to doing Whole30 so publicly. Pro: the fear of public shame has kept me from opening that bottle of wine taunting me from my bar cart more than a couple times (especially on such a snowy, cozy evening Sunday! What a waste). Con: When I DO fall off the wagon, I feel like I have to own up to it.

Whole30 Week 1 Recipes

January 9, 2019

I took a quick poll asking whether my friends and family would be interested in a day-by-day breakdown of what I've been eating on Whole30, and the answer was a resounding yes! I've linked to any recipes I actually followed so you can make it yourself, but for dishes where I winged it, let me know in the comments if you'd like me to write up the recipe.

Roast Beef with Horseradish Sauce

Roast Beef with Horseradish Sauce {Whole30}

January 7, 2019

Since Whole30 is somewhat limiting when it comes to weekend plans, I've started using my weekends to make more elaborate meals than I would during the week. Roast beef with Whole30-compliant horseradish sauce has quickly become a household favorite (including with Louie, who enjoys the juices on his evening kibble), and one I'm comfortable serving guests as well. And, this one is actually a CKDC original!
