Weekend Recap + Homemade Pizza

Wow, what an awesome Presidents’ Day weekend I had! It has been so great to have my best friend in town.

I had my first dueling piano bar experience.

It’s safe to say it’s going to be my new favorite way to spend a night out! We had a blast belting out all the tunes they played.

We played with Harley at the beach.

There was quite a bit of wine tasting…

Yep, no idea who these people are.

And we thoroughly enjoyed my homemade sangria.

Today, I got some work done during the day while Meg laid by the pool and hung out. Then this evening we made my FAVORITE dinner. In fact, when Adam’s home I usually make it every Friday night. Everyone that knows me knows I love homemade pizza!

Ok, it’s not entirely homemade. I typically buy jarred pizza sauce and Trader Joe’s dough. I’m all about homemade but convenient!

Veggie & Mozzarella Pizza

Makes 8 servings.

What we used tonight:

1 whole wheat pizza dough (TJ’s)
Fresh mozzarella balls (Also TJ’s. I use 2 medium sized balls = 8 servings = 28 g)
About 1/2 cup marinara sauce (Newman’s Own)
About 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
Large handful of spinach
Several stalks of broccoli rabe
Chopped basil
Whole wheat flour to help roll dough out
Salt & pepper

After rolling out the dough with a rolling pin, placing it on the pizza pan, and spreading the sauce on, we went ahead and loaded it up with chopped veggies and cheese. Then we placed that bad boy in the oven at 400 degrees until bubbly, around 15 minutes.
