sooo.. i had a busy day today! and i already have strayed from my meal plan. told you i would.

i sorta stuck to monday’s plan.. breakfast was an egg white scramble and fruit, lunch was leftover taco salad, my snack was greek yogurt with a banana and peanut butter and dinner was calzones.

we were going to have salmon, but the local fish market is closed on mondays and i won’t buy fish at the grocery store. call me weird.. but i like the freshest of fish. plus my friend’s parents own the fish market, so i like to support them.

SO.. calzones it was!

you can check out my calzone how-to post here if you want a little bit more details on how i make them.

tonight we filled ours with pizza sauce, faux pepperoni..

green bell pepper and red onion..

and mozzarella string cheese!

oops.. one had a blow out! we can’t all be perfect.

i ate my calzone alongside some broccoli sprinkled with parmesan.

IMG_1012

hot pockets have nothing on this whole wheat pillow of pure pizza deliciousness. IMG_1011

these are labor intensive, but boy, the results are delicious. definitely worth the effort!

IMG_1013

and worth the MESS they make!

IMG_0998

yes, that is flour ALL over my cell phone. no, it was not strategically placed there in anticipation of this giveaway i am about to post. but it just goes to show that i really should have been using the cell mate tonight…

IMG_0792

remember when i ran into my friend at the expo and he was selling his invention.. the cell mate?

IMG_0791

to remind you.. the cell mate is a clear, magnetic cell phone holder that attaches to your fridge.

IMG_0789

you can put other things in the cell mate.. such as:

  • coupons
  • your keys
  • pens
  • your ipod
  • a recipe
  • your dog

okay. maybe not your dog. but you get the idea! it is a handy magnetic holder and it is absolutely genius.

my friend offered to give a cell mate away to one of you guys! nice of him, right?

two ways to enter:

also, my buddy is offering a special meals & moves discount if you want to buy the cell mate. simply enter “mealsandmoves” in the discount code section upon checkout and get 25% off your order. they are only $10, so this discount makes them $7.50! also, get free shipping when you order two. sweeeeet.

i will pick a random winner for the FREE cell mate on wednesday. good luck!

i have to go clean my kitchen now…

i would, without a doubt, use it for my phone…i get SOOOOOOO much crap all over it in the kitchen, but i love having it there to play my itunes!

Heather April 11, 2011 at 10:29 pm

I loooove calzone! I need to whip up a batch!

squigglefloey April 11, 2011 at 10:47 pm

For my phone for sure! :)

edenseats April 11, 2011 at 10:49 pm

You know I would use it for my beloved iphone.

And I did the facebook thingy and said meals and moves was awesome ;)

Anu April 11, 2011 at 11:00 pm

for my iphone, of course!!

that calzone looks amaaazing btw.

marissa April 11, 2011 at 11:32 pm

i would use the cell mate (hehe, love the name) for coupons! it’s the perfect size.

Waheeda April 11, 2011 at 11:40 pm

I would use it for my phone. i dont have much counterspace, so you can imagine the messiness that occurs in my kitchen!

Yuki April 12, 2011 at 2:41 am

I would definitely use it for my phone!

Cathy K April 12, 2011 at 3:11 am

thanks to you AND your friend for the giveaway, janetha!
i would use the cellmateto hold sticky notes and paper clips and pens…right now, these are in my clutter drawer but it’d be handy to have them on the side of my fridge!

tiffany April 12, 2011 at 3:16 am

might use it for my phone if i’m in the kitchen for a long time, but it would be a great coupon holder too!

Hannah (Hannah Lives) April 12, 2011 at 3:25 am

Um… My PHONE! fo sho!

Hannah (Hannah Lives) April 12, 2011 at 3:26 am

I FB “like” Cell Mate!

Hannah (Hannah Lives) April 12, 2011 at 3:27 am

And I commented on their FB page!

Malika April 12, 2011 at 3:31 am

Cell phone. All the way I’d use it to hold my cell in the kitchen… I don’t want what happen a few months ago to occur again…
Water + phone = DEATH
haha Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

Allie S April 12, 2011 at 3:39 am

I would use it to store my iPhone while I’m in the kitchen. There’s nothing more distracting than a Words with Friends move when you’re trying to cook. ;)

Lauren April 12, 2011 at 3:47 am

I love this thing!!!! I am always throwing my cell phone around and then seem to misplace it. I would use my cell mate in my car. I’d find a place to stick it so that when I’m driving, I won’t have to scramble around in my purse looking for my phone and risk crashing.

sarah b April 12, 2011 at 3:56 am

i would love to use this while cooking in the kitchen – what a great invention!

sofia April 12, 2011 at 4:03 am

totally spilled olive oil all over a friend’s blackberry during a cooking party. her phone has never been the same since… though i think she finally got a new one about a month ago. party foul! so yeah… i’d use it while cooking in the kitch :)

Erica April 12, 2011 at 4:09 am

Your calzones are so cute! I love that you used string cheese inside :) I need a cell mate. I cannot find two things in my house….almost daily- my cell phone and my keys. I know its just going to get worse once we have the baby!

Marlow April 12, 2011 at 4:14 am

I would definitely use it for my phone…and maybe get a second one for coupons!

Marlow April 12, 2011 at 4:15 am

And I went facebook official :)

G April 12, 2011 at 4:24 am

I would give the cell mate to my boyfriend who is ALWAYS loosing his keys, cell phone and wallet. Every. Single. Day.
This thing would allow us to be on time (no more looking for things) and reduce a lot of pointless, stressful arguments!

Holly @ The Runny Egg April 12, 2011 at 4:40 am

I would definitely use it for my cell phone — or I’d use it to leave little notes to Jason — we could keep post its and a few pens in there.

cleaneatingchelsey April 12, 2011 at 4:40 am

I liked them on FB!

cleaneatingchelsey April 12, 2011 at 4:40 am

I would probably use it for important papers that somehow always seem to get lost!

withasideofhope April 12, 2011 at 5:02 am

I would definitely use it for my cell phone. I always seem to lose track of it in my house. This would be perfect for me. :)

mary April 12, 2011 at 5:06 am

I would definitely use it for my keys which I lose on a daily basis.

Barbara April 12, 2011 at 5:07 am

organizing my coupons/mini envelopes on my fridge door!!! I have coupons I forget to use everywhere! I have a bathroom suction-cup soap holder suctioned to my bathroom mirror, where I put either my toothbrush, toothpaste, or random little face products to get it off my bathroom counter, and it helps so much! I need one for my kitchen!

Di April 12, 2011 at 5:23 am

I’d definitely use it for my keys, or concert/sporting event tickets, or pens (so the cat can’t get at them). Such a great invention!

By the way…those calzones look delicious!

Kayla April 12, 2011 at 5:24 am

I Would use it to hold pens on the fridge, because I’m always looking for one when I want to add items to the list that is on the fridge.

jordan April 12, 2011 at 5:37 am

i like the idea of having a place to put my phone or ipod touch within easy view for when i am using a recipe i’ve pulled up on them :)

Megan April 12, 2011 at 5:44 am

For my phone! Otherwise I put it somewhere, forget, then end up late because I’m scrambling to find it!

Samantha April 12, 2011 at 5:49 am

I would use the cell mate at work because I always seem to be looking for where I put it lasst!

MelissaNibbles April 12, 2011 at 6:08 am

I want that fridge thing! I need something like that. It’s so cool!

Joy April 12, 2011 at 6:11 am

I would use it for my phone, in the house we want to buy the layout has the fridge sort of in the middle of the house so it’d be easily reached from anywhere

Carlee April 12, 2011 at 6:18 am

I would DEF use it for my camera! Ahh I want this so bad! I ALWAYS loise my camera…its a tragedy… :( lol

Jen April 12, 2011 at 6:22 am

I would definitely use it for it’s intended purpose – I could use something to keep my cell phone off the kitchen table (and therefore the mess!)

Carlee April 12, 2011 at 6:22 am

I liked it on facebook!!

Carlee April 12, 2011 at 6:22 am

I wrote on the wall!!

Alex April 12, 2011 at 6:41 am

I would use it to protect my iphone from my kitchen..i alwaysss get the screen dirty when i’m cooking!

Alyson M April 12, 2011 at 6:47 am

Would definately use it for my phone when cooking and cleaning! Such a good idea!!!

Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine April 12, 2011 at 6:54 am

I’d use it for my coupons, which are currently stacked haphazardly atop my fridge!!

Allison @ Food For Healing April 12, 2011 at 7:00 am

omg i have never had a calzone before but they look so good. Plus Seinfeld has had me intrigued before (i’m a total nerd fan of Seinfeld… still)

Stefanie @TheNewHealthy April 12, 2011 at 7:04 am

I would use it for my cell phone to avoid covering it in food when I’m cooking! ;)

Michelle April 12, 2011 at 7:06 am

I would definitely use it for my phone. Like you said it’s a great way to get it off the counter so that it doesn’t get covered by ingredients! And I love that I can still see the screen to read recipes while cooking. It’s genius!

Casey April 12, 2011 at 7:08 am

This is a great giveaway, Janetha! I would definitely use it for my iPod…I never know where to put that thing! :)

Ashley @ 365 things April 12, 2011 at 7:15 am

I would use it for my phone of course. And possibly my keys and grocery list. I’d end up filling that sucker up!

Kayla April 12, 2011 at 7:15 am

It would be so helpful to put my phone in it, I usually just lay my phone on the counter and it gets lost/dirty very easily!! Haha, that little gadget is pretty sweet.

mering4 April 12, 2011 at 7:17 am

K I entered! I would definitely use the gadget for my phone! but I might have to get another one, because it would be a GREAT place for coupons!

Flo (Coconut Chronicles) April 12, 2011 at 7:20 am

I LOVEE calzones! I have never made my own, though. I need to give them a try!
