I keep this exercise ball in the ladies room lounge at work. Everyone is welcome to use it whenever they like.  I make a couple of trips to the ladies room during the day and that’s when I sneak in a little exercise.exerciseball2

It’s easy, fast and I feel energized even with a couple of moves. I never get bored because there are so many different ways to use it.

Ravioli Pizza is a once in a while treat at work.   This is how you can make it at home, you know you want to 🙂 You’re welcome.

Preheat oven 500 degrees

Pick up some pizza dough from your favorite pizza shop or make your own. This recipe works on pita bread too.

Boil small bag of frozen ravioli according to package – drain and pat dry carefully

Press dough into an oiled 15-inch pizza pan. Drizzle with olive oil, then top with 1/2 cup tomato sauce,  ravioli,   garnish with grated cheese, dried oregano and 2 cups shredded mozzarella. Bake until golden about 15 minutes

This is a lot of pizza and one slice will be all you need. Serve with a salad.

Cantaloupe Gazpacho

Posted on

I know summer has ended, well not officially, and the last few days in New York have  felt  more like summer  then  summer.  So when I came across this gazpacho recipe I thought, gazpacho soup would  be good to serve  since were still having hot humid 90 degree temperatures days.

The ingredients are simple and really COOL!:

Purée 1 medium cantaloupe (peeled, seeded, chopped), 
1 small cucumber (peeled, chopped), 
2 tablespoons chopped red onion, 
2 teaspoons kosher salt, 
and 1/3 cup water in a blender until smooth. 
With motor running, drizzle in 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 
season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. 
Serve gazpacho chilled, topped with thinly sliced fresh mint.

That's it. All done. Imagine, Cantaloupe soup!
