Monday morning, January 3. Time to get back to work. It's been a nice couple of weeks. Work has been really quiet and this long weekend has been very relaxing. I am looking forward to being busy again though. It's only 5 a.m. and I have our smoothie ready and my lunch packed. Fruit, black eyed peas and greens, and piece of a spice cake I made with some sweet meat squash for lunch, easy. I think I have enough time to tell you about how our pizza turned out.
When the kids arrived Saturday afternoon I had most of the pizza makings ready. The last time they were here, Eryk wasn't too thrilled with my choice of meal. I think we had au gratin potatoes and broccoli. Lots of kids don't like the idea of putting broccoli in their mouths, I get it. I thought I'd make something more kid familiar for dinner. It worked, he liked our veggie pizza. It was fun making it together too.
We used fresh spinach, caramelized onions, roasted red bell pepper, sun dried tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, and some Gimme Lean meatless sausage that I cooked in a little garlic chili oil and added some sage. I made the sauce with home canned tomatoes from our garden and a can of tomato paste blended with some dried basil, oregano, and fresh garlic. For the cheese topping I used a combination of dairy free Almond cheese and organic mozzarella cheese.
Grandpa likes to be the dough maker and he was very entertaining while working.
It has been a very cold weekend, getting the dough to rise was a challenge. The crust seemed scary, but it turned out just fine.
Kaylee made her own pizza in a smaller pan after getting some help with the dough. She chose a few less toppings than I did. She liked the mushrooms, sausage, and tomatoes.
