Pizza Night at Defazio’s
Tonight I had some really amazing pizza. Doesn’t it look incredible?? It was goat cheese pizza from Defazio’s in Troy! I went to dinner with a few blends tonight, after Courtney’s recommendation of Defazio’s. I had been dying to try their pizza. They also actually had organic whole wheat crust…major bonus points for that one! It was so good. And honestly, I can’t even tell the difference with whole wheat crust anymore, I think because I eat whole wheat breads all the time. It just tastes better to me anyway! Courtney, Katie, Emily and I also ordered an eggplant florentine pizza. Both pizzas were amazing! The crust was perfect: crispy…

Celebrations

My Dessert Philosophy
Thanksgiving has come and gone. And Christmas is looming–this means what? Holiday desserts galore. What’s a foodie who loves desserts to do when she’s trying to watch the calories? This love of desserts got me in trouble growing up, and because of my love of them, I was overweight. But now I have that (mostly) under control, with healthy eating and exercise. I’m at a healthy weight, and I’m happy with how far I’ve come, even though I may struggle the rest of my life. But I don’t ever deprive myself of the foods I love the most. I eat them in moderation. I allow myself one cookie after dinner,…
