Resolution Pants Pizza – Part Deux

by

I paid a long overdue visit to the friendly folks over at Viitals today.  I was in the mood for more pizza and thought it best to baby step my way to homemade.  Viitals offers pre-made, gluten-free pizza crust locally at their cafe AND they’re willing to ship if you’re not so local.

If you recall, I had already sampled this dough at Gourmet Pizza Company on New Years and knew it was a sure shot to goodness.

I ran my plan by Silvia, the owner, and she suggested that I brush the crust with garlic and olive oil.

So I did.

I spooned a layer of homemade sauce on the crust, topped with a layer of spinach, spooned a little more sauce, and then added sliced baby bellas.

I baked the pizza in a 425 degree oven for 15 minutes and sprinkled with nutritional yeast.

It was the first time this year that I missed cheese.  It was really good, but it would have been AMAZING with some mozzarella and feta.  So here I am, 16 days into the no-meat, no-dairy new year, missing real cheese pizza.

I’ve found the perfect crust, now I just need the perfect vegan cheese. Suggestions please!

Resolution Pants Pizza

by

Since twenty ten was marked by Lazy Pants Pizza and Healthy Pants Pizza, it only seemed appropriate to begin twenty eleven with a pizza that encompassed the only two planned resolutions that I began the year with:  no more meat, no more dairy.  I walked into Gourmet Pizza Company and placed my weird order, confident that this was going to be a good year, confident that these resolutions were enough to make a good year.

It took approximately two-ish days of people questioning my sanity before I realized that these resolutions were nowhere near challenging enough (for me) to make my own good year.  After all, I’ve done this before, a lot, and I will do it again.

So, giving partial credit to the new years strangers that helped put some things into perspective, I came up with a couple additions to the less than challenging resolutions listed above.

In 2011, Kristin is going to…

–  Make the most of where I am, even if where I am is Tampa.

–  Be positive company and keep positive company.

–  Participate, unofficially, in 365 Project.
