I haven’t had a crumb of real bread or pasta or anything super starchy since Saturday, so pizza was on the brain when my intermittent fast was over tonight. I tried to go the full 16 hours like I had planned, but the mushroom and cuke salad from yesterday was calling me and I had to answer it. So tasty!
I ordered a small (personal, as they call it) veggie pizza from Pizza the Rock with NO cheese and all the veggies they had; Dustin ordered a cheese. And it was swimming in cheese. Glad I skipped theirs and added my own at home.
I went crazy on the carbs for this meal. Then again, maybe not. I prepared a fruity salad while the pizza was on its way via the mom mobile.
~2 cups Ready Pac Santa Barbara mix, ~1 cup fresh baby spinach, 7 blackberries, 4 strawberries, and 1/3 small honeycrisp apple slice thinly dressed with 2 t. EVOO + 1 TBSP red wine vinegar + Himalayan sea salt + black pepper.
I added 1 oz Chevre goat cheese (70 cal) and 5g shaved parmesan cheese to my (3) pizza slices and popped them in the oven to warm it up a bit.
Goat cheese > mozzarella
And how!
Veggie toppings included: Black olives, broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, eggplant, garlic, tomatoes.

Best. pizza. in. months. !! It was amazing. The veggies were just right, the crust was crisp yet doughy, and the goat cheese? Creamy amazing awesomeness.
I did feel a bit of a carb crash after this… and bloated. But I took my antibiotic right after this carb fest and there hasn’t been any thunder down under. YAY! Perhaps the first time I took it it really was just something I ate that day? Not sure. Going to finish the RX though. Adios sinus infection!

Today’s probably going to be an all-nighter. We woke up late, late, late today. So that was sort of… breakfast.
Rock star living… gotta love it. 
Full menu from today in next post.
I have two cauliflowers to use up. I was overambitious in the produce department the other day. I think I’ll go to the kitchen and play for awhile. I’m starting to feeling better, I have way more energy after the pizza than I’ve had. But my sinuses were taxing my energy, so hopefully they’re getting better too.
I really hate how early it gets dark out. Such a downer for food photography. Means I have to abide by a—gasp—day schedule if I want to get maximum daylight. 
Boo. hehe
Thanksgiving is next week?! Holy guacamole! I better shake a leg… so much to do in the next few weeks!!
Have you planned anything new for Thanksgiving this year? I think we’re ordering a smoked turkey online, precooked. We’ve never had one and want to try it. I’ll let you know how that goes. For now, full-time reality. Work to be done, recipes to be created, sheets to be changed, pet hair to be discarded. Yay, life!
