It's been a while since I've posted any food porn! So I think we are way overdue and it will take forever to post all the pix, we are going to do it in small batches. First up, the long awaited pizza pix from when I had my friend over the other night. We did make your own pizza, healthy and high-class style. I made homemade whole wheat crust, homemade sauce, and had lots of healthy fixings on hand for topping.
First is a shot of my pizza, pre-cooking. I bought a very fancy tomato basil and garlic soft cheese to use instead of mozzarella, and even though I am still limiting dairy, I put some on a small portion of my pizza. Toppings include: turkey-roni, baby bella mushrooms, spinach, yellow squash, zucchini, sliced Roma tomatoes and garlic stuffed olives. It was so good, though I did overdo it with the amount of toppings I put on. Everything was sprinkled with fresh basil, Italian flat leaf parsley, and oregano, plus a dash of olive oil and salt and pepper.
My friend and husband's pizzas were a bit more cheese covered...
I think the massive amounts of cheese they used made theirs look better right out of the oven, but mine was so tasty, who cares. Right?
I wanted to make a healthy and fancy dessert to go along with the pizza, so I made rice flour crepes and topped them with sauteed strawberries and powdered sugar. I had some difficulties with the crepes in keeping them together, but I think that was in part due to my still figuring out how to properly cook with my new range. Every range cooks a little differently, believe it or not!
The strawberries weren't organic either and the availability was not what I had hoped as far as quality. The cooked down super fast and were a bit more mushy than I normally like them. The recipe needs some tweaking, even though it was good that night. Next time they won't be just good, they will be extraordinary!
More food pix too come, but I need to break it up so the posts don't become obnoxiously long!
