Vegetable Pizza

Day 126

Ugh. I know, I haven't blogged all week. Trust me, I'm not giving up on it. I still continued to take pics and make notes, but I had to give some other projects some attention this week. Now I'm done with those and I can play a bit of catch up.

Tortilla Soup

This meal merits some attention, because it was fantastic. I should have blogged it on its own page, but I have a feeling it will be making another appearance before the blogging year is over.

It's basically a soup which is similar to a chili, containing beans, corn, peppers, cilantro, tomatoes, etc. Sooo good.

Then you serve it with sliced avocado, shredded cheddar, sour cream and cilantro leaves. Just throw it all on top of the soup. I ate it with tortilla chips, using the soup and garnishes as a dip. It was amazing. I took it to work in my lunch the next day and brought enough to share with Patricia and she said she loved it too.

Pizza Subs

These open-faced baked sandwiches were really yummy too. The buns, cheese and toppings that we had on hand were not only enough to make these two nights in a row, but enough for me to take homemade submarine sandwiches in my lunch two days and make a pizza tonight.

Veggie Pizza

My cousin, Julie, gave us a pizza stone and this is the first time we're using it. We were supposed to invite her over to help us test it out, but there was poor planning on our part tonight for that. Plus, we're not having the type of pizza I promised her. Soon though, Jules...soon.

Crust
Laura made the crust from scratch and spread it with Classico Tomato & Basil sauce.

Review/Comments

Come on, homemade pizza is a no-fail. Unless you burn it or something, which we didn't. It would always be good for at least a 7 but with Laura's fantastic yummy homemade crust and our favorite toppings it was definitely a 9. Disappointed we didn't use poppyseeds and sesame seeds on the crust, or stuff it, but it was still amazing.
