Did you know that it’s National Pizza Week?
Here are some favorite pizza recipes of mine:
As you may know, I am a big fan of pizza. Since I usually whip one up every few weeks anyways, I couldn’t miss out on celebrating by making a pizza this Friday evening! Tonight I went with a bit of a different combo, pairing fontina, mozzarella, and asiago cheeses with heirloom tomatoes and fresh basil. I went to Trader Joe’s to pick up my usual whole wheat dough, but unfortunately they only had plain left. Since I’m used to eating whole wheat bread/pasta/rice/etc., it’s funny when I eat white versions of those things. I think that whole wheat tastes so much more flavorful, but the pizza was still delish:
See below for the recipe. We still have another day left in the week, so it’s not too late to celebrate National Pizza Week! 😉
Plans for the rest of my Friday are to play Sega video games with my hubby and enjoy a glass of wine. My father-in-law sent us a case of cabernet sauvignon from a Sonoma winery as part of our Christmas gift. We just received it a few days ago and are about to try some. Have a great weekend!
