I love Mondays. It’s the start of a new week. Who knows what will happen?
This weekend was the weekend of pizza.
After I got out of work Friday night at like 9, Mark asked me to head over to Walmart to pick some stuff up. We were both hungry, and got the craving for French bread pizza. I looked at the Red Baron 5 Cheese & Garlic frozen ones and it contained 23g of fat and 37% of your daily sodium! 23g of fat? I thought that sounded a little excessive.
Instead, we bought the ingredients to make our own – wheat French bread, shredded mozzarella, tomato sauce, and olives. It took like 8 minutes to assemble and 15 to cook and only clocked in at 10g of fat. And, it tasted delicious 
I went to free yoga on Saturday at the Lululemon store. I just loved the instructor. It was a great class! It was kinda chilly out that day though so I came home and made homemade soup for lunch. I just put in whatever I had and it kind of turned into a minestrone.
In the pot:
- vegetable broth
- onions
- kale
- beans
- diced tomatoes
- orzo
I didn’t know that my Dad had moved our regular pizza night to Saturday since I worked Friday night. So it was pizza again for dinner! Real pizza though, not pizza on bread, so I didn’t mind. We made a white kale pizza and a plain on wheat.
The kale topping turned into kale chips = really good! And that one glass of wine knocked me out of commission until the next morning. I’m a lightweight.
Sunday morning I woke up to the smell of fresh biscuits.
We never have biscuits for breakfast so it was a nice surprise from eating the regular oats – pancakes – waffles – cereal – french toast lineup. I felt very British. We ate them with jam. I only wish we had some fruit to eat on the side.
Oh, and thanks for all the info about that sushi. I didn’t realize they sweetened it with agave nectar. My taste buds don’t like me adding sweeteners to anything besides desserts, let alone sushi! That was definitely why I wasn’t crazy about it. Bring on the daikon!
Questions:
- Do you ever recreate things to make them healthier?
- What are your breakfast regulars?
